Nail That Problem....

DID YOU KNOW your fingernails can alert you to a health problem? Here, says dermatologist Janis Campbell, are some signs and remedies :
Horizontal ridges. You could have a zinc deficiency. Take a multivitamin.
Splits or Chips. You may not be getting enough calcium.
Curled up. You lack iron. Talk to your doctor about the blood test.
Yellowish green. It could be a fungus. keep your nails out of water and see your doctor.
Also..... Large blood vessels around the cuticle, and flat or two-toned nails, could be signs of conditions such as a lupus or kidney disease.
