Read Your Nails

A nail tells a lot of secrets about your health. Read it to know what your body is trying to tell you.I'm gonna mention some information about some kinds of nails and what they indicate.

Pale Nails

Maybe due to aging .But they can also be a sign of serious illness, such as: Anemia, Congestive heart failure, Diabetes, Liver disease or Malnutrition.

Bluish Nails

Indicate that the body isn’t getting enough oxygen. This could indicate an infection in the lungs, such as pneumonia.

White Nails

If the nails are mostly white with darker rims, this can indicate liver problems, such as hepatitis.

Yellow Nails

One of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection. As the infection worsens, the nail bed may retract, and nails may thicken and crumble. In rare cases, yellow nails can indicate a more serious condition such as severe thyroid disease or psoriasis or may result from a respiratory condition, such as chronic bronchitis, or from swelling of your hands (lymphedema).

Puffy Nail Fold

It may be the result of lupus or another connective tissue disorder.

Dark Lines Beneath the Nail

Dark lines beneath the nail should be investigated as soon as possible. They are sometimes caused by melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer.

Nail separates from nail bed

With a condition known as onycholysis, your fingernails become loose and can separate from the nail bed. If your nails show signs of detaching, this may be associated with: Injury or infection, Thyroid disease, Drug reaction, Reactions to nail hardeners or acrylic nail or Psoriasis which is a skin condition that starts in the nails 10% of the time.

Gnawed Nails

Biting your nails may be nothing more than an old habit, but in some cases it’s a sign of persistent anxiety that could benefit from treatment. Nail biting or picking has also been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you can’t stop, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Small depressions in the nails are common in people with psoriasis which is a skin condition that produces scaly patches.

Pitting is also associated with conditions that can damage your nail's cuticle, such as chronic dermatitis of your fingers or Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss.

Clubbed Nails

Clubbing occurs when the tips of your fingers enlarge and your nails curve around your fingertips. This condition results from low oxygen levels in your blood and could be a sign of lung disease. Clubbing is also associated with inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease and liver disease.

Spoon nails

Spoon nails (koilonychia) are soft nails that look scooped out. The depression usually is large enough to hold a drop of liquid. Spoon nails may be a sign of iron deficiency anemia.

Finally,I wish you all healthy bodies with healthy nails :)

Top Ten Secrets To Defeat Overweight

If you are overweight then what are you waiting for ?!
Use those ten secrets to defeat it :-

1- Don't cut out all the food you enjoy. If you restricted yourself to just fruits and vegetables, you will give up very quickly. You can eat all your favorite food but in another form like olive oil instead of butter and low fat cheese, etc. Try to decrease your fat intake for no more than 20 grams per day.

2- Turn off the TV. Scientists at the University of Massachusetts found that people who watch TV during a meal consume, on average, 288 more calories than those who don't eat with the tube on. 

3-  Scramble your breakfast. People who ate eggs in the morning instead of a bagel consumed 264 fewer calories the rest of the day, according to a Saint Louis University study. That’s because protein is more filling than carbohydrates. And choose rye (not wheat) bread for breakfast toast. Swedish researchers found that rye eaters were more full 8 hours after breakfast than wheat-bread eaters.

4-  Break up your meals into 5 or 6 smaller ones.This will help speed up your metabolism and keep you from getting too hungry in between meals.

5-  Don’t eat that late night snack.Try not to eat for at least 2 hours before going to bed.

6- Do exercise more regular, longer or harder. If you don't have much time for exercise, you can simply change your life style a bit like climbing stairs instead of elevator, walking instead of driving or even playing games with some kids.

7-  Hang out with just skinny people and you'll pick up on their habits for staying slim. You don't have to dump all of your overweight friends, you just shouldn't let their bad habits influence you. But as they always say, If you hang out with 9 rich people, you'll probably end up being the 10th rich person and the same goes true for losing weight.

 

8-   Keep reminding yourself why you want to lose weight to motivate yourself more and more.

9-   Set deadlines then reward yourself by buying a new dress or whatever you like.

10-  Reduce how much alcohol you drink .Avoid stress, frustration, and boredom. If you are depressed, seek medical treatment. That will all prevent gaining more weight.

Finally,I hope they will work.I wish you all a healthy slim body :)
