The growth of nails is related not only to each person's age and the number of frictions, but also to other factors such as individual nutritional status, mood, physical health condition, etc. Let’s listen to the detailed analysis from the health care experts at Zhengzhou Broad Urological Hospital.
1. Nutrition
Malnutrition or taking certain medications may also affect the growth rate of nails. Good nutrition allows normal nail growth. If malnourished or suffering from anorexia nervosa, nail growth will be slow and transverse grooves called Beau's lines will appear.
2. Mood
Nail growth rate is also related to a person's mood. When in good spirits, the nails appear smooth and shiny. This is because being in good spirits promotes blood circulation, increasing local blood flow and providing more nutrients for the nails.
3. Diseases
Whether fast-growing nails are related to "leisure" remains inconclusive, but studies have found that nail growth rate is indeed closely related to some pathological changes in the human body. For example, when suffering from hyperthyroidism, congenital heart disease, Parkinson's syndrome, pregnancy-related diseases, nail growth generally accelerates. On the other hand, when suffering from hypothyroidism, renal insufficiency, diabetes, nutritional imbalance, etc., nail growth slows down.
Regarding nail growth, what should be paid attention to most is timely trimming. Long nails are like little dustpans hiding dirt, where many unknown sources of infection reside. Remember, only by regularly trimming your nails can you avoid disease.
