Nail – Revealing your health

Nail is part of our body and is an appendage of the skin like the hair and teeth. Nail is very important to us as it protect our fingers and toes. Finger nails assist in picking up small object and to enhance the esthetic appearance of he hands. Fingernails and toenails are made of a tough protein and Keratin. The nail consists of the nail plate; the nail matrix and the nail bed below it; and the grooves surrounding it.

Do you aware that our finger nail grows faster than toe nail?
Do you aware of the color of your nail?
Do you belief your nail can reveal your health condition?

I learnt a very interesting lesson from my finger nails. In recent few years, I found the appearance of my nail changed. Their color became pale and the new moon shape at the base of the finger nail disappeared from my index and ring fingers. The new moon shape at the base of the nail is actually the lunula. Normally, each finger has a lunula, with the larger one in the thumb, smallest in the little finger.

As many of the busy people, I continue my busy life regardless of the lunula disappeared. I had my health deteriorating as I worked hard and sleep less and accidentally I found all my lunula disappears. I recognized the relationship about my health and the lunula.




Do you have lunula for all your fingers?
If yes, congratulation!
If no, then you have to take care of your health.
You may need a more balanced life style and do more exercise.
