Our hands do more than perform tasks; they can also serve as a reflection of our overall health. Certain signs and symptoms that appear on your hands might be indicators of underlying health issues. Here are seven things your hands can tell you about your health:
1. Pale or White Fingernails
If your fingernails appear pale or white, it could be a sign of anemia, a condition where you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body’s tissues. Anemia can cause fatigue and weakness, so consider this a sign to get your blood iron levels checked.
2. Blue Fingernails
Blue fingernails can indicate that your body isn’t getting enough oxygen. This condition is known as cyanosis and can be a symptom of lung problems, such as emphysema or heart problems. If you notice blueness in your nails, it’s important to seek medical attention.
