10 NAIL SIGNS of HEALTH PROBLEMS (and Nutritional Deficiencies)
10 nail symptoms to help you identify nutritional deficiencies and underlying health problems.
Fingernails and toenails are made of dead cells that have become hardened and keratinized, in order to protect the tips of your toes and fingers. Beneath the nails there are sensitive nerves which require nourishment from oxygen, vitamins and minerals.
If the nails become to change shape, texture, colour or appearance, this is usually a sign that there is something wrong inside the body, such as a nutritional deficiency, thyroid disorder, hormonal imbalance, anaemia, liver damage etc..
In this video we explore the 10 most common nail signs of health problems and disease such as clubbed nails, vertical ridges, white spots, brittle nails, fungal nails and much more. You can use these signs to help identify underlying problems. Always consult with your physician with any health concerns you may have.
Some of my favourite supplements to strengthen/support nail growth.

FYI: it is best to get your minerals from natural organic food sources, however with today's agricultural situation and economic situation it may be necessary to use supplements. However unless directed by your doctor you should not supplement with iron, excess iron in your system can cause massive bacterial infection, this is why infants are born with all the iron they need for many months of life and also why mother's milk contains absolutely no iron.

What about presence or absence of half moon on nails, what does it signify? And what do people with malabsorption like colitis or ibs do for deficiency apart from suppliments?
@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies

This can be difficult to identify, as it can be caused by such a broad range of deficiencies, genetic factors and underlying problems. People with digestive disorders can consider using a digestive enzyme supplement that contains ox bile to aid in the absorption of proteins and minerals.
@sitnspin1819

The absence of a lunula, the half moon on your nails, can be an indicator of anaemia, malnutrition or a person simply doesn't have one. White spots on the nails are mostly pockets of air where the nail has lifted up off of the nail bed. Ridges, nail deformities etc, are mostly caused by injury to the finger. The nail matrix, a small wedge shaped bit just under the cuticle, has taken damage and the nail no longer grows correctly. Signed, a nail tech of 20 years.

Does the unfortified nutritional yeast convert into some form of MSG I have a food sensitivity to MSG and wondering if this would cause any kind of reaction to my sensitivity?
@RyanTaylorNaturalRemedies
Жыл бұрын
Not at all, this is a common confusion. Nutritional yeast contains glutamic acid (natural), but not monosodium glutamate (msg), which is the chemically made synthetic flavour enhancer that often causes problems. But please, do speak with your health care professional if you have any specific allergies.
Quickest way to massively deplete zinc from your system is drinking large quantities of alcohol, zinc is vital for hundreds of functions in the body and it is absolutely vital for all immune system functions and particularly protection against viruses including coronavirus has zinc deficiency is one of the primary reasons why alcoholics or heavy drinkers tend to look 10 to 20 years older than their chronological ages have thinning and extremely gray colorless hair and are in generally decaying health.

Hi...What's the alternative to animal protein?
@StarlitSwamp
Жыл бұрын
Hi ! I’ve been vegan for several years and getting enough proteins is no issue at all, as long as you make sure your daily intake includes a good variety of the right foods. Soy, quinoa and buckwheat are considered complete protein sources. While other vegetal proteins are incomplete, that simply means that they must be combined to another (though not necessarily at the same time) for you to end up getting all of the amino acids you need. For instance, legumes of all kinds are a great source of protein as they are rich in lysine. They are lacking in sulfur amino acids, but those can be found in cereals and nuts, which happen to have the opposite values. So if you’re having, say, rice with beans, or hummus on whole-grain crackers, those foods will complete each other. Here’s a list of some of the best plant-based proteins : soy (tempeh, tofu, edamame, textured vegetable protein, soy milk), legumes (lentils, white beans, red kidney beans, chick peas), nuts (almonds, peanuts, pistachios), seeds (pumpkin, chia), seitan, kamut, nutritional yeast, quinoa, buckwheat.

Stay from soy, unless it is fermented like miso or natto. Soy contains false estrogen which can cause breast cancer and prostate issues
It’s a sign that indicates your life and people around you! If you have a white cloud in your index finger on the right, that means you have some enemies and they about to do something bad to you if they have a good chance. If you have some cloud in your middle finger then someone dislikes you or hates you. If you have it in your ring finger that means someone loves you and depending on the size of the cloud, the bigger the better. Last one is for your pinky finger, meaning mercy and pity from someone. Someone mercy you. ( for more information about your dream; inbox me! )

Cortisol (stress - restricts blood flow to extremities for fight or flight). Mineral deficiencies (tank/rain water, diet and prolonged physical stress). Poor circulation (inflammation/thick blood). Iron lacking in blood (due to not eating red meat, leafy dark greens or foods high in iron). Remedy: high strength quality fish oil, spirulina, vitamin B complex or Niacin, zinc and less static or repetitive RSI causing movements and more movement which encourages blood flow to extremities aka sports - and a diet with reduced consumption of legumes, nightshades and grains/seeds. Increase root vegetables, fresh meats and dark leafy greens (coriander, parsley, mint etc). Don't have to eat organic - but definitely aim for spray free foods and wash everything in sodium bicarbonate as a part of food prep. Also don't drink any dairy when having red meat, as dairy reduces the bodies ability to absorb iron. Remedy. Knowledge is power.
