What should I do if my child has nail malnutrition?

Many people say that a person’s physical condition can be seen through their nails. If a careful person observes his nails frequently, he will discover this condition. Especially the crescent shape on the nails, which can more or less directly reflect a person's physical condition. Not only the crescent shape can be reflected, but the smoothness of the nails can also reflect a person's physical condition. Therefore, nails are an indicator of the health of the human body. The condition of a person's body can be reflected through the nails, so that we can know how to maintain good health.

Generally speaking, healthy nails can be divided into: ordinary nails, large nails, small nails, long nails, short nails, wide nails, narrow nails, etc. Usually the nail occupies 3/5 of the unjointed length of the finger, is rectangular and arched, with the horizontal diameter of the top slightly larger than that of the base. The white crescent-shaped part at the base of the nail is called the nail lunula, commonly known as the nail white, which is symmetrically located in the center of each finger without any large offset. In fact, when all fingernails have appropriate white nails, it can be inferred that the human body is in good health. If there is no whiteness or only a little whiteness on all 10 fingernails, it means that the body is exhausted or suffering from illness. The ideal white nail should occupy about 1/5 of the nail area. Too much white nail or no white nail at all does not mean that the body is very strong.

The growth and shape of nails can be affected by changes in the body at any time. Especially from the color of the nails and whether there is normal white nails, it can be seen whether the person is healthy or is developing a disease. In addition, some clues can be seen from the following 10 different pathological nails. Attention should be paid to this, and correct handling methods should be adopted to correct it as soon as possible.

First, find out the cause:

One is that the nails are in contact with water for too long; two is that the diet lacks protein and elements such as calcium, sulfur, zinc or vitamins A, B, and C; three is chronic diseases or emotional stress; four is oral contraceptives; five is that the nails are polished or caused by the use of abrasives. You may wish to adopt the following corrective methods respectively.

1. Take two tablespoons of yeast and 1000 mg of bile acid orally every day. It is best to add these nutrients to fluid or milk for oral administration, which will help improve the strength of nails.

2. Considering that iron deficiency can cause dry and brittle nails, it is best to eat more iron-rich foods and take vitamin C to improve the ability to absorb iron.

3. Soak your polished, defect-free nails in warm malt oil or other natural oil for about 5-10 minutes every day, then massage from the fingertips to the surface cuticle. If you use an emery board to slightly abrade the surface of the nail, it will make it easier for the oil to penetrate.

4. Soak your fingers in diluted vinegar every night. This is a good way to prevent nail splitting. Applying white iodine on the top of the nail and under the tip of the nail can not only restore the bendability and strength of the nail, but also prevent the nail from being broken into pieces.

If the nails are wavy and dull, it may indicate a lack of protein, vitamin A and B, or minerals. This can be done by improving your daily diet and taking a multivitamin supplement every day. Add 15 grams of vitamin B6 and zinc. If your nails are dull and completely white, it indicates that you may have liver disease. In this case, you can ask a physician to check and help with diagnosis and treatment. Secondly, it is also related to bad mood and poor diet. You might as well eat more sunflower seeds in your daily life to increase your intake of vitamin A. In addition, 5000 mg of dolomite can be taken orally every day. It is reported that this product can supplement calcium and magnesium, and can restore soft and brittle nails to normal and look brand new within 3 weeks. To improve the quality of food, you should supplement more dark green leafy vegetables, fish, beans, etc. Mothers can do corresponding examinations according to the symptoms and pay attention to a balanced diet. Children's nails grow very fast and will be restored soon.
