We see our nails every single day — but most people don’t realize that nails can be like tiny health reports from our body. Their color, texture, and even small changes can sometimes reveal things about our nutrition, habits, and overall well-being. That’s why many doctors take a quick look at a patient’s nails during checkups.
Here’s what different nail changes might mean 👇
1️⃣ White Spots on Nails
A lot of people panic when they see white spots, but most of the time, they’re harmless.
Common cause: tiny injuries to the nail bed (like knocking your nail without realizing it).
Other causes: occasional nutritional gaps, like low zinc or calcium.
When to check: if spots keep reappearing or spread across many nails, it could be worth mentioning to a doctor.
2️⃣ Yellow Nails
