Types of nail abnormalities and other nail troubles

Types of nail abnormalities and other nail troubles

Have you ever gone to get your nails done and noticed cracked lines on them?

If your nails have chipped or have lines on them,

no matter how good the manicure is it will look not look as attractive as it can.

This post will explain why these types of nails can occur as well as

how to maintain nails and keep them beautiful.

* Weak nails that are brittle or break easily

Weak nails that break easily can be due to several factors. 

This can caused by reduced thyroid functions, lack of vitamins, proteins, or dryness. 
Women who get nail art done often have an increased chance of having broken fingernails, because too much nail polish remover use makes the nails become dry.

In addition, dry nails can also lead to increased aging in the fingernails.

That being said, if brittle nails are not due to nail remover use or old age,

then it could be due to reduced thyroid functions (or lack of vitamins)

and may require treatment.

*Indented spoon-shaped nails (koilonychia)

These types of nails could be an indicator of iron-deficiency anaemia.

This can commonly occur for those with anemia, diabetes, or problems of the thyroid.

If you ever experience indented fingernails

we recommend getting things checked up at a hospital. 

* Pitting or dents on the nails

If you have these type of nails there is a high chance it is due to anemia (iron-deficiency). The causes are similar to spoon-shaped finger nails,

if you suddenly notice dents on your nails then you should get treatment for them.






* Thick and overgrown fingernails

If you have these kind of nails then there is a good chance you 

have a fungal infection (such as athlete's foot).

In the case of fungal infection, fingernails can change color, become loose, or even fall off. A normal fingernail is usually 0.5mm thick,

and if your nails are thicker you should check to see if you have athlete's foot,

 or other types of fungal infections.

Making your nails pretty is important, but remember to keep your health in mind as well.

The state of your finger nails can be a signal that there is something wrong with the body.

Banobagi Beauty Tip: Drink Water to have Flawless skin and Slim body!

                   Drink Water to have

Flawless skin and Slim body!

  

‘Drinking water’ is a tiny habit that is most important for us. 

Most of people will be aware that our body is formed with more than 70% of water 

because we hear that often. 

That is the evidence that let us know how important water is for our body.

You are already aware that water helps on losing weight and waste excretion, right?

Today, I will introduce water drinking habit that helps on losing weight!

‘Let’s drink water to have flawless skin and slim body! 1. 

Water drinking habit’

It’s ideal for you to drink water frequently when 

‘you just woke up’, ‘you are hungry’, ‘before you get thirsty’, ‘is hot’.

It’s better to drink small amount of water frequently than drinking a lot of water at once

 to increase in water consumption.

Also, drinking water before meal is helpful on losing weight rather than 

drinking water right after your meal. 

‘Let’s drink water to have flawless skin and slim body! 2. 

The amount of water that we have to drink’

It’s good to drink at least 2L of water per day. If you are not sure how much would it be by 2L, 

drink at least 8 cups of water in a day~

Especially, drinking at least 2L of water is critical if you are on diet!

That is because the water is one of component that burns fat. 

Drinking a lot of water helps on burning more fats.

The calorie that you burn while 1L of water gets extracted as urine is whopping 50kcal. 

For the people who say ‘I gain weight even I only drink water’, 

they gain weight because they are not drinking enough amount of water.

When our body send message about low water level to our brain, 

there is high chance for the nucleus to steal that and make us think that we are hungry.

Thus thirst leads to food consumption and there is high chance of overeating or gluttony.

  

‘Let’s drink water to have flawless skin and slim body! 3. 

Healthy water’

Drinking heaps of water is also helpful on our skin health. 

Moisture is the key point to maintain smooth and elastic skin.

Our skin gets noticeable and dried even when we have slight water shortage.

Drinking heaps of water is good for health as the waste in our body gets secreted. 

Also it is helpful on losing weight and leads to healthy skin. 

Let’s keep our body healthy by drinking water before getting thirst, 

when we feel hungry and even when we are just bored!
