According to traditional Chinese medicine, nails are the external glory of Qi and blood in the viscera, which are directly related to the viscera and meridians of the human body, and can fully reflect the physiological and pathological changes of the human body. What's the reason for the whiter nails? Let me talk about it.

What reason is fingernail whiter

First: brown longitudinal lines or cracks appear on the nail surface, extending from the fingertip to the root of the nail, indicating intestinal inflammation or vitamin deficiency and iron deficiency. White nails indicate zinc deficiency.

Second: common white means anemia. There are brownish yellow stripes on the nails, which is a sign of liver disease. However, it is worth noting that this brown yellow stripe should appear on ten fingernails at the same time, which is liver disease; it can not be used as the basis for diagnosis alone.

Third: there are a small number of white spots on the nails, which are usually the manifestations of calcium deficiency, silicon deficiency or parasitic diseases; there are a large number of white spots, which may be a sign of neurasthenia; and yellow spots on the nails may lead to digestive system diseases; If there are black spots on the nails, you should be careful. The light ones are just overwork and malnutrition. The heavy ones may be the precursor of gastroptosis, gastric cancer and uterine cancer.
