You are what you eat. It is always right. Sometimes body signals can tell us what we are short of in our body. For example, our fingernail has this function. When I was a teenager, I was emerged into playing with my pals and care nothing about my health. As long as I didn’t get sick, I had no awareness of caring my body. However, I knew one thing, which fingernail was sometimes different from each other. More whiter, white fleck in one period and some was flat and easy fractured. The fact is that fingernail can tell us something about our children’s healthy situation.
Nails can reflect some nutritional deficiencies, such as low levels of iron, biotin and protein.
Most nail problems aren’t associated with nutrition, but if children have an iron deficiency, their nails may disclose it. Pale, whitish nail beds are a common symptom of animia. With more severe deficiencies, the fingernail may change shape — a condition called koilonychia where the nails are thin and concave with raised vertical ridges.
