Seeing signs of ill health on the nail plates, consult a doctor. Proper nutrition, healthy sleep and sport are the guarantee of health. Nails of a healthy person are even, shiny, gently pink, with a pronounced whitened well at the base. In this case, the nail plate is constantly updated, growing a week by about one millimeter.

With age, the nail plate thickens and becomes more brittle. This is part of the natural aging process of the body. It is permissible if the nails are broken due to a lack of vitamins or turn yellow due to poor-quality varnish.

But there are stable pathologies, which we often do not even pay attention to. And in vain. Some changes in the shape, color and texture of nails, as well as the skin around them, can indicate abnormalities in the work of internal organs and the presence of a variety of, sometimes serious diseases.

How to preserve the beauty and health of nails, experts said.

Proper nutrition, healthy sleep and sports should be the default. Regularly inspect the nail plates and take care of your hands.

Do a manicure and a pedicure. In time, cut or file the free edge of the nails, treat the cuticle.

Do not gnaw your nails.

Wear gloves when working with chemicals and while digging in beds.

Take vitamins.

Regularly smear your hands and nails with nourishing cream.

Do not wear tight shoes, do not put your fingers in the cracks and be careful with a hammer.

Going out to places of large concentrations of people, use liquid gloves (this is an emulsion). The risk of contracting infectious diseases through the hands is now very high.

Having seen on the nail plates signs of ill health, use antifungal agents and regenerating drugs. If the pathology is stable, be sure to take tests and go to the doctor.
