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: Things you should be aware of while eating protein!

BANOBAGI Beauty Tip:

Things you should be aware of while eating protein!

Many people try to have ‘high-protein diet’ when they are interested in

healthy life or losing weight.

Especially, people who play sports must have protein even by having protein supplies.

Then how much do you know about protein?

Many people are thinking that protein is a type of nutrients they need

while putting on muscles.

However, that is only a small part of protein’s effect.

1. Healthy diet, Protein! What does it do in our body?

Protein controls our body’s metabolism.

It maintains our blood sugar in stable level, while stabilizing our nerve system.

There are many other roles that protein plays on our body.

Protein is an intercellular bridge of various types of amino acid.

Lack of amino acid can lead to problems such as pain on muscle, bone and joints,

change in blood sugar level, slower recovery ability, weakened immunity, and so on.

So you are clear that you require adequate protein intake now, right?

2. Is it better to have more protein since protein is good for our body?

Excessive consumption of protein can lead to osteoporosis due to loss of calcium

because our body excretes calcium as urine as metabolic process of amino acid

that is forming protein.

Thus you have to make sure that you are having enough calcium consumption

while you are having high-protein diet.

3. What’s the greatest way to have protein healthy and tasty?

There are many foods that are enriched in proteins such as

beans, egg, meat, fish, and so on.

It would be really delicious if you cook them with various spices,

however this is not healthy way to have protein.

You can have healthier diet if you cook high-protein foods

with less sodium and less sugar.

For example, beans are relatively easy to cook by stirring or boiling,

and you can also enjoy various forms of beans because there are various recipes

available with tofu or beans as an ingredient.

4. Can I have protein while I am on a diet?

You have to make sure that you have well planned healthy dietary plan,

not just eating less and protein is something that you must have during diet.

You need to have adequate animal fat with vegetable fat,

and it is recommended to have chicken, duck, egg or fish

rather than red colored meats when you are on diet.

Also it is better to have small amount of protein often rather than

having much of them at once.

Salmon has lower calories than chicken breast, and is also helpful on

skin improvement as it is enriched with vitamin and proteins.
