Blue nails

May be indicative of pulmonary obstruction, emphysema or lung disease. Blue fingernails may represent a type of cyanosis caused by a lower level of lack of circulating oxygen in the red blood cells. It may also represent a high level of an abnormal form of hemoglobin in the circulation. If normal color returns upon warming and/or massage, the cause is due to the body part not getting enough blood supply due to cold, constriction (of the tissues or the blood vessels that supply the tissues) or some other reason. If the fingernails remain blue, then there may be an underlying disease or structural abnormality interfering with the body’s ability to deliver oxygenated red blood to the body.

Black nails

Black fingernails can indicate signs of Anemia, B-12 deficiency, bacterial infection, chronic kidney disease, adrenal gland problems, liver disease, cancer or melanomas, silver deposits (heavy metals), trauma.

White fingernails

May be indicative of kidney or liver disorders or anemia. White lined bands across the nail beds can signal a protein deficiency.

White spots on nails

In most cases this is due to a zinc deficiency or injuries to the nail bed. It can however also be indicative of certain internal problems such as arthritis, or from poisoning. Although it has been noted that white lines can be symptoms of a serious disorder, their presence is more than likely a result of iron or zinc deficiency.

White areas under nails

When there are white areas visible under the nail, normally at the tip of the nail where it joins the nail bed, this normally indicates a fungal infection and must be treated medically. Half white nails, with dark spots, especially on the tip, may be indicative of kidney diseases.

Grey nails

Can suggest arthritis problems, edema, malnutrition, post-operative effects, glaucoma, lung problems, emphysema, cardio-pulmonary disease.

Green nails

Can be caused by allergies to cleaning agents, Bacterial infection such as Bacillus infection, localized fungal infection, and serious emphysema.

Yellow nails

Can be indicative of problems with the lymphatic system, respiratory disorders, diabetes or liver. Yellow discoloration in your fingernails may result from a respiratory condition, such as chronic bronchitis, or from swelling of your hands (lymphedema). In yellow nail syndrome, nails thicken and new growth slows, resulting in discoloration. Nails affected with this condition may lack a cuticle and may detach from the nail bed in places.

Purple nails

Oxygen deprivation, circulatory problems, congenital problems.

Red fingernails

Possible Brain hemorrhage, heart disease, high blood pressure, lung disease, stroke, carbon monoxide poisoning.

Darkening of nails (on the sides)

This may be indicative of kidney disease.

Lines (red or brown)

Splinter hemorrhage shows up as red or brown lines along the long axis of the nail and may be caused by endocarditis (an inflammation of the heart membranes) or trichinosis (a parasitic infection from undercooked pork). A simple dark blue line in the fingernail can be a sign of skin cancer. Tiny black streaks can indicate a possible heart problem, and thin black lines on the nail often indicate a heart disease.

Brown spots under nails

Pitted brown spots in fingernails may indicate a skin and joint disorder called psoriasis. Reddish-brown spots can indicate a deficiency of folic acid, protein or vitamin C.

PART THREE

The colour of your nails: 

'Healthy nail beds are pink due to the rich blood supply underneath them,' says nutritionist Patrick Holford. 'Any changes in colour are an important indicator of deficiencies, lack of nutritents or more obviously, an accident.' 

White nails: 

Indicate lack of iron and poor circulation where the blood is not reaching the end of your fingers. 'Build blood by increasing your magnesium intake,' recommends naturopath Cornelis Van Dalen. 

Dark red nails: 

Can result from high content of fatty acids and cholesterol due to excess of dairy, sugar and salt. This can lead to an underactive liver and blocked arteries. Cornelis suggests replacing refined foods with whole grain rice and bread. Also flush out the system with plenty of fresh vegetables and at least five glasses of water per day. 

Red-purple nails: 

Indicate an upset digestive system caused by over consumption of sugar, pharmaceutical drugs, fruits and juices. 'Avoid tropical fruit - which hold a high content of sugar - and eat plenty of seasonal vegetables, whole grains and pulses,' says Cornelis.

Show high content of sugar from alcohol, fruit and chocolate. Also indicates lack of zinc which is needed for mineral breakdown in the process of digestion. Cornelis says 'Eat zinc-rich foods such as wholegrains and chicken.' Also, consider taking zinc supplements.

KENALI PENYAKIT KITA MELALUI KUKU

Kuku adalah merupakan salah satu anggota badan yang sering kita lihat tetapi sayangnya sebarang perubahan yang berlaku kepada kuku kita (yang mana ianya merupakan penanda aras masalah kesihatan kita kita), kita tidak perhatikan kerana kita tidak menganalisa petunjuk-petunjuk tahap kesihatan itu melalui perubahan tanda-tanda pada kuku kita itu.

Secara amnya bentuk kuku, saiz kuku, warna, teksturnya dan  kekuatannya berbeza dari seorang keseorang bergantung kepada tahap kesihatan dan masalah kesihatan yang dialami seseorang itu. Maklumlah cara pemakanan dan gaya hidup kita berbeza dari seseorang ke seseorang, sebab itulah penyakit yang dialami juga berbeza dan ianya dizahirkan dalam pelbagai tanda termasuk kuku.

"Kuku adalah jendela ke dalam tubuh seseorang. Melalui kuku dapat terlihat kemungkinan penyakit apa saja yang sedang berlaku dalam tubuh seseorang itu" Andrea Cambio, MD, FAAD dari American Academy of Dermatology (AAD).
