指甲外觀變化告訴我們什麼? What Are Your Fingernails Trying to Tell You

指甲的外觀變化可能有很多原因:
顏色和紋理變化
白色/淺淡色指甲可能暗示你有貧血。
指甲上有白點可能與缺乏礦物質鋅或其他營養有關。
指甲白色也可能與肝臟疾病相關。
指甲變黃可能是呼吸系統不暢順或指甲受到真菌感染所致。
指甲變厚或畸形表示可能有真菌感染,即俗稱的“香港手/香港腳”。
指甲上有平衡溝槽或線條,可能暗示疾病已經破壞了指甲生長 - 這通常由糖尿病、循環系統疾病、營養不良或高燒引起。
指甲點蝕(有很多下陷的小點)可能與牛皮癬有關。
指甲彎曲到甲床裡,變成杯子形狀,即所謂“茶匙指甲”,這表明缺鐵性貧血。

一些簡單解救法:
指甲脆弱或裂開:
服用優質多種維他命補充劑。如果需要,可添加額外的生物素(每天250-1,000 mcg)和鈣質。
指甲真菌感染:
早晚在你的指甲上塗抹茶樹油,堅持一個月或以上。茶樹油是天然抗真菌藥,效果顯著。
