How is there obvious vertical stripes on the nail surface?

How is there obvious vertical stripes on the nail surface? Perhaps these four reasons, let's take a look.

1, liver and kidney are not very good.

In fact, the condition of our nails can reflect the health of some organs in our body, especially when there are more vertical stripes on our nails, which is probably caused by more toxins in our bodies. And our liver and kidney are the main organs for detoxification in the body. If there are more toxins and garbage in our body, it may be caused by stagnation of liver qi and loss of kidney qi. At this time, we should pay more attention to the maintenance of liver and kidney.

2. Iron deficiency anemia

In our daily life, many people will be anaemic. Usually, when iron deficiency anemia occurs, there are some vertical stripes on the nails. Especially for women, if this happens to their nails, they should pay more attention to whether it is caused by their own anemia. At this time, you should eat more blood-enriching food and recuperate your body.

3. Genetic causes

In addition to the physiological state, if there are vertical stripes on the nails, it may also be genetic. Generally, this happens to younger children, which is often caused by heredity. In this case, you don't have to worry too much. After all, genes are hard to change. And these people's vertical stripes are not necessarily caused by physical reasons.

4. Excessive mental stress

The state of nails is closely related to the adequacy of nutrients in our bodies. If our mental stress is great, it will probably affect our normal metabolism and sleep. When our metabolism and sleep quality decline, we will lack some nutrients, especially calcium, and vertical lines will easily appear on our nails.

5. Normal growth phenomenon

Vertical stripes appear on the nails of adults, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, because spots or wrinkles will appear on the body after a long time, and nails will also appear. With the increase of age, the water-locking function of the nail surface will also weaken, and different degrees of lines will appear on the nail. As long as people's nails look even and there is no other discomfort, there is no need to worry too much. Just adjust your diet and pay more attention to rest.

6. overworked body

When the body is overworked, people will have indigestion or physical pain, which will also affect the development of nails, resulting in vertical lines on nails. Usually pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't overwork your body, adjust your pressure, learn to relax yourself, relieve physical and mental fatigue, and ensure 8 hours of sleep every day. Usually, you can relieve stress by listening to music, exercising properly and traveling.

7. lack of vitamin a.

When the body lacks vitamin A, it will make the skin rough and dry, resulting in night blindness or corneal dryness and softening, accompanied by wrinkles on the nail epithelium. If vitamin A deficiency is caused by gastrectomy, intestinal diseases or metabolic abnormalities, the pathogenic factors should be removed in time. Usually, you can eat more chicken liver and pig liver carrots, milk leeks, spinach and peppers, mangoes and day lilies rich in vitamin A. In addition, vitamin A tablets or drugs can be reasonably supplemented under the guidance of a doctor. If the patient has oral malabsorption, it can be supplemented by intramuscular injection.

8. Lack of protein

Keratin is the main protein of fur hair follicle and epidermis. When the body lacks keratin, it will cause vertical stripes on the nail epidermis. Such people should eat more fish skin cartilage, pig's trotters, bird's nest, chicken wings or shark's fin rich in keratin.

If your nails have vertical stripes, you might as well check what causes them and take targeted measures to solve them.

Today, I will give you some tips for maintaining your nails.

1. About Manicure

Babies' nails are about 0.7 mm long per week, and adults' nails can be 1 ~ 1.4 mm long per week on average. [2-4] It is recommended to cut it once a week. When nails grow out, it is easy to hide evil and breed bacteria. If the nail is cut too short, it is easy to hurt the nail bed during work or housework. If the soft tissue in front of the finger does not cover the nail, the nail tip will grow inward, which will induce paronychia in severe cases and be easily invaded by fungi. The suitable length of nails is that the top of nails is flush with or slightly longer than the top of fingers, leaving a small white edge.

Pruning skill

If the nails are too hard, soak them in warm soapy water 15 minutes before cutting.

Don't cut too close to the free edge. If you cut your nails too close to the free edge, the free edge will automatically retreat inward to protect the nail bed. If the free edge is damaged, it is easy to cause fungal infection.

2. About nail remover

Generally, solvent-based nail polish has good adhesion, and it is difficult to fall off from the nail naturally, so it is necessary to clean the nail polish with nail polish remover. The main component of nail polish remover is acetone, so you must wash your hands after using nail polish remover to remove residual chemicals. When choosing nail polish, you can choose tearable water-based nail polish and avoid using nail polish remover.

Step 3 avoid chemicals that hurt your nails

In our daily life, we will inevitably come into contact with some irritating substances, such as bleach, detergent, hair dye, etc., which will cause harm to the skin and nails of our hands. Gloves are recommended when using these substances.

Eat some food that nails like.

Lack of protein, vitamin A or B and minerals can lead to wavy and dull nails. If you can take a balanced diet or take multivitamins every day, especially vitamin B6 and zinc, you can make nails like linear lumps disappear gradually. Eating iodine-containing seafood and garlic every day also helps nail growth.

5. What should I do if my nails are broken?

If the broken part of the nail is small, there is no need to tear it. You can temporarily stick it on with transparent nail polish and cut it off when it is long. If the broken part is large, it is recommended to cut off the broken part first and apply nail polish until the new nail grows. If you really can't wait for new nails to grow, most nail salons can do extended nails.
