The color, length, and condition of your nails can reveal more about your health than you think. They can reveal how long you’ve been suffering from an illness and provide clues to various internal issues. Therefore, it’s important to pay attention to and check your nails regularly, as they may reveal something. Here’s what the condition of your nails reveals about your overall health.

Nails marked with lines

If you have small ridges on your   nails  , you may be suffering from psoriasis   (chronic skin inflammation) or a connective tissue disorder. Ridges can also be a sign of a weak immune system or alopecia (excessive hair loss in which all or part of the skin is exposed, such as baldness).

Spoon-shaped nails

Concave or spoon-shaped nails are recognizable by their upwardly curved edges, which absorb a small amount of water. If this is the case with you,   you probably have iron deficiency   , heart or liver disease, or thyroid disease.

Cracked nails

If your nails are constantly brittle and fragile, it may be because you’re not taking proper care of them. You’re probably using low-quality nail polish or overly aggressive manicures. It’s also a common sign of skin aging or a vitamin deficiency.   Pamper your nails and keep them healthy with this easy-to-use homemade recipe   : Mix lemon juice with one tablespoon of baking soda. Heat the mixture in a double boiler and soak your nails in it for five minutes. Wash your hands and rub each nail with olive or argan oil to moisturize it.
