Many people encounter the appearance of strange white spots on their nails, but not everyone attaches due importance to this.
This is a gross mistake, since in some cases this symptom is a warning from the body about a certain negative process.
What do the presence of white spots indicate?
It's time to take a break from manicures and polishes
In the last few years, long-lasting nail polish has become so popular that it has become almost impossible to find a woman with “clean” nails.
Not everyone knows that you can't use the coating all the time, otherwise your nails will be damaged. Also, during the manicure, minor injuries can occur that cannot be cured when applying the coating. Therefore, your nails need to be given a rest.
Mechanical damage
If you hit or pinched your finger, then the white spots are explained very easily: the cause lies in ordinary mechanical damage.
The symptom will stop bothering you fairly quickly.
It's time to stop dieting or save on food
If you eat extremely poorly, then it is difficult for the body to function normally with such a diet. If you want to stay healthy, then you should stop experimenting with diets and switch to a balanced diet, experts say.
Iron
There are many factors that indicate iron deficiency. One of the most important is the presence of white spots on the nail plate.
Eliminating iron deficiency is easy. You need to include animal products, spinach, chlorella, various seeds and various types of legumes in your diet.
The nervous system is out of control
It is known that stressful situations negatively affect our appearance, sleep and health. If you often face nervous tension, then the presence of white spots on your nails should be a signal that it is time to take care of your mental health.
Active use of household chemicals
Household cleaning products contain extremely harmful and aggressive substances. If you do not want them to cause harm to your body, it is better to refuse to use them in favor of options with a natural composition or pay attention to folk tricks.
Household chemicals are not only harmful to nails: toxins enter through the respiratory system and accumulate in the body.
Possible allergic reaction
If you change your nail polish, cream, scrub or any other product that comes into close contact with your hands, it is quite possible that an allergic reaction will occur.
