ReplyDeleteYour nails play an important role in beautifying the way you look and preserving a good health on the whole. Have you ever realized that your fingernails and toenails can indicate potential problems in other parts of your body? If you have healthy nails, they should have a pink hue. Any change in tone and texture many indicate mineral and vitamin deficiencies.Most of the time, we tend to neglect our nails. How well we maintain our hands and nails is one way we tell the world about our good hygiene. They are like windows giving us an insight into the robustness and sensitivity of the person
