Fingernails can predict health troubles as changes in the shape,
color, or texture of nails can be indicators of a variety of
conditions. For example, one of the signs of lung disease is nail
clubbing, a variation in the shape of the fingernails, in which they
gradually begin to curve around the fingertips. Yellowing of the
fingernails is often a sign of respiratory health troubles, such as
chronic bronchitis, while a blue tint to the nails may be due to
reduced oxygen flow. Spooned nails, in which there is a visible
indentation similar to a scoop, can indicate liver disease or heart
disease.
More about fingernails:
*Fingernails are made of keratin, the same protein that makes up the hair.
*Psoriasis, a skin condition that causes skin cells to accumulate into
dry, scaly patches instead of shedding, first shows signs in the
fingernails approximately 10% of the time.
*Fingernails grow nearly twice as fast as toenails, at around 0.14
inches (3.5 mm) per month on average for fingers versus 0.62 inches
(1.6 mm) for toenails--it can take around three to six months to grow
an entire new nail.
