Let us talk about nails, specifically fingernails. Do you know that there is a strong relationship between your fingernails and your bones? Yes, your nails can give you visual clues about the condition of your bones and as Vivian Goldschmidt, MA writes in the Saveourbones Program the nails can tell us about vitamin deficiencies, bacteria in our body, anemia, protein inferiority, and lack of certain minerals like iron, calcium, and zinc, among other things. According to the ...Mayo Clinic Staff, there are warning signs found in your nails that should demand your attention like changes in color or shape, thickening or thinning, separation of the nail from the surrounding skin, bleeding, swelling, or pain and failure of the nails to grow out. To keep your nails looking their best, here are ten helpful tips: 1. Keep them trimmed and shaped 2. Keep them dry and clean 3. Practice good hygiene 4. Use a nail moisturizer or be sure to rub hand lotion on both the nails and cuticles 5. Push back the cuticles with a washcloth while in the shower 6. Use a nail hardener or nail strengthener regularly 7. Do not bite them or pick at the cuticles 8. Be sure not to ignore any nail problems 9. Avoid harsh nail products and cleansers 10. Wear gloves as much as you can, especially when working with water The nail industry has become the largest growth area in the entire cosmetology market since the 1980’s and today the nails are one of our most beautiful adornments. So remember the nails not only can give us insight to our body and its functions but can create a fashion statement as well!
