The more crescents on the nails, the healthier the body? Is there any scientific basis?

The crescents on the nails are believed to be familiar to everyone. Usually, we will regard the more crescents as a sign of health. On the contrary, the fewer crescents, it indicates that the body needs to be adjusted. Is there any scientific reason? What is the relationship between crescent moon and health?

Is it true that the more crescents on your nails, the healthier you are?

First of all, let's understand what a crescent moon is. The crescent is the part of the lower end of the nail where no blood vessels pass, leaving a mark. Due to the metabolic growth of the body, the growth rate of the two sides is slower, and a crescent-shaped white mark is formed. The size and shape of the crescent moon have a lot to do with your physique.

It should be understood that the crescent moon generally exists, but some people's crescent moon is hidden and we can't see it. Through careful observation, we will find that the growth rate of the thumb is usually faster, so the crescent moon is generally more than that of the little finger or other fingers. To sum up, there is no scientific basis for judging health by whether you can see the crescent moon or the number of the crescent moon on your finger.

But there is one thing to pay attention to. If there are more crescents on your fingers at ordinary times, and suddenly for a period of time, you find that the crescents on your fingers have disappeared a lot, or the crescents visible to the naked eye suddenly increase in a short period of time. These are problems that cannot be ignored. We must pay attention. If the nutritional problem itself is not solved, it will actually cause the disappearance of the crescent on the nail. As a reminder, with the increase of age, the metabolism gradually slows down, and the crescent moon may gradually become smaller or disappear. This is normal, so don’t worry too much.

Besides crescents on nails, are there any other topics that have no scientific basis?

In life, you will find that many people have vertical stripes on their hands. Is it good or bad? In fact, some people say that this is a symbol of disease, but there is not much scientific basis for it. There are many reasons for vertical stripes on the nails, some are vitamin deficiency, some are indigestion and calcium deficiency, and some are even normal. Because everyone's nails are uneven, but the vertical stripes of some people's nails are not very obvious, and some people's nails are obvious. In addition, with age, the vertical stripes on those nails will become more and more obvious, so there is no need to worry too much.

The barbs on the nails are believed to be the distress of many people. It will be very painful to tear off and even bleed. Many people have different opinions about the barbs on their nails. One reason is caused by malnutrition. Indeed, when the body lacks vitamins, zinc and selenium, the skin's resistance will be reduced, the smoothness will be deteriorated, the hands will become rough and dry, and thorns will grow. In addition, the baby's hands may often grow barbs not because of lack of some vitamins, or because they naturally like to bite their fingers, pick their fingers, and chew their nails, which leads to the growth of barbs, so there is no need to worry too much. Blindly supplementing nutrition is detrimental to health. The weather in autumn is very dry, and the skin on the nails is too dry, which can lead to a large number of barb growth on the nails.

Having said so much, there are many reasons for the appearance of barbs. It should be noted that when there are barbs, they must not be torn by hand, otherwise it will cause more damage, and you can gently cut them with scissors.

From the above, we can understand that the crescent moon does not actually represent the health of the body. In addition, there are many remarks about nails, some of which are unbelievable, such as barbs and vertical stripes on the nails. The body is the capital of the revolution. It is a good thing to pay attention to health, but we must learn to discern the truth of the facts.
