Reasons for fewer half-moons on fingernails

Maybe many of our friends don’t know the harm that having fewer half-moons on fingernails can do to the body. This is mainly because we cannot tell the presence of diseases in the body from the appearance of the half-moons on fingernails. In fact, the lack of half-moons on your fingernails may be due to the lack of trace elements in your body. You should supplement them in time, otherwise it is easy to suffer from high blood pressure or stroke. I hope you can pay attention to this.

The little sun is the white half-moon shape at the base of the nail, called the nail lunula, also known as the health circle. Generally speaking, the best condition is that the lunula occupies 1/5 of the entire nail. It is not normal if it is too large, too small, or too faint. People with too large a lunula are prone to high blood pressure and stroke; if the lunula is too small, it means that the blood pressure is too low. People who cannot see the lunula at all usually have symptoms of anemia or neurasthenia. At the same time, the best color for half-moon nails is milky white. Blue indicates problems with the respiratory system and a susceptibility to cardiovascular disease; blue indicates poor blood circulation; and red indicates heart failure.

Traditional Chinese medicine does have records that the white crescent can be used to determine whether a person's heart function is good. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood, and the quality of blood circulation will directly affect the function of the heart. The liver's essence is concentrated on a person's fingernails. Generally speaking, people with white crescents have strong heart energy and smooth blood circulation; if the white crescent is relatively small or does not exist at all, the heart energy is weaker and the blood circulation may not be very good. The liver opens up to the eyes, governs the tendons, and its essence is in the nails. This shows that the strength of liver blood can affect the nails.

When the half-moon marks begin to shrink and disappear, you should pay attention to changes in your physical health and increase nutritional supplements appropriately. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, to replenish essence: pay attention to supplementing protein, high-quality protein should be neutral, such as milk, eggs, beans, fish, black foods (black foods nourish the kidneys), seed foods, embryonic foods, etc.; from the perspective of Western medicine, pay attention to eating antioxidant foods and health products, such as astaxanthin, coenzyme Q10, tomatoes, pomegranates, etc. Taking 8-12 mg of astaxanthin every day for 2 weeks will effectively increase high-density lipoprotein, prevent low-density lipoprotein oxidation, improve cardiovascular condition, promote nail growth and prevent rapid aging of the nail bed.

For the situation of fewer half-moons on fingernails, it is relatively simple to treat it in our daily life, as long as we know the cause of the disease. If we are lacking in essence and energy in the body, we should supplement some protein appropriately. If it is lacking in trace elements in the body, we should supplement some trace elements appropriately.
