Fingernail Color

Fingernail shape, fingernail color, cuticles and any other feature of the nail reflect ones person’s health. Not every sign you notice is necessarily a serious disease cause, but it may be an external factor that affects the nail surface and structure. The general appearance of the nail, taken as a whole and separately for each finger, says much about our health. Thus, colors, streaks, points or streaks on the nails in different shades may be considered meaningful signs and alarm on a nail health.

Usually, a healthy fingernail color is pinkish, straight, and glossy, with the crescent of the nail white, visible and variable width. Vertical streaks on the nail don’t always indicate a problem, unless they are very pronounced. There are also hereditary or birth defects of the nail (thickening, swelling, various defects in growth and positioning).

Fingernail colors that are correlated with body disease: red – indicating a heart malfunction, blood problems or blood circulation, blue – indicating poor peripheral circulation, pulmonary diseases such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, white – indicating increased number of leukocytes in the blood that may be a sign of leukemia, but in general this may indicate anemia (hemoglobin deficiency), malfunctioning of the spleen and liver and kidney ailments, yellow – liver and digestive system or brain. Mostly yellowish forefinger and middle finger nails can occur in smokers – nicotine having the role of yellow nails in time or be submitted in the form of spots.

White spots on nails are the subject of several theories. It is believed that this was lack of calcium, but these may be due rather to lack of zinc. Also, some points of the nails can occur in response to periods when the peripheral circulation is slower, or they may be caused by different strokes. Generally, the spots disappear after a while. If they persist too much, you should be doing a survey to detect any diseases.

In these cases, the functions of the heart, kidneys, excretory and circulatory system work much harder. Fever is the first alarm. Blue heart and lungs nails show an imbalance, while yellow-green nails tell us that our liver is weak or some liver diseases. Black lines under the nail are a sign of depression, and those red spots indicate lupus or irregular tissue diseases.

Other signs of the nails that could be a warning sign are streaks that can occur to people with cold extremities. Also, other signs are streaks on the nails, which can have an external cause (shots) or internal (arthritis, digestive problems, fever, severe diets, liver disease or mental-anxiety and depression) – especially if the grooves are deep.
