Many people find that there are small full crescents on their nails, and the fullness of the crescents can reflect the health of the body.
Not only that, many people also have vertical lines on their nails, and the long vertical lines on the nails are actually a hint that there is something abnormal in our body, if you also have this condition, it may be caused by the following four diseases.

If you are a picky eater or picky eater, the first thing that should come to mind when vertical lines grow on your nails is a lack of trace elements.
The long-term lack of trace elements in the body will affect the growth of nails, causing black vertical lines to grow from the roots. This phenomenon is common in adolescents during the development period, and it is recommended that patients eat a balanced diet in their daily life, try not to be picky eaters, so that the body can get sufficient nutrition, and over time, the vertical lines will disappear on their own.
In daily life, patients must eat more vitamin-rich foods, once they find that vertical lines appear on their nails, they should go to the hospital in time to do trace element examination, and make targeted supplements for the lack of elements, which can quickly eliminate vertical lines.
In addition, patients should also strengthen exercise in daily life and do more outdoor exercises, which can promote the absorption of trace elements and play a great role in physical health.
2. Pneumonia
The vertical striae caused by pneumonia is different from the vertical striae caused by other conditions, which is blue in color.

The liver and kidneys have a detoxification effect in the body, when the liver and kidney are dysfunctional, the toxins in the body will continue to accumulate, after the accumulation of toxins, the human body's nails will change, easy to turn yellow, black, and nails will grow vertical lines and, the more serious the disease, the darker the color of the vertical lines.
Therefore, if you have vertical lines on your nails, you must pay attention to it, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for liver and kidney examinations.
4. Gastrointestinal diseases
People with chronic gastrointestinal diseases are also prone to vertical lines on their nails, this is because their intestines are more sensitive, and the body is not easy to be digested and absorbed by the intestines after ingesting food.
Because the composition of nails is protein, the lack of nutrients in the body will limit the synthesis of protein, so it is easy to grow vertical lines on nails. For such patients, they must protect their stomach, do not drink too much, and eat lightly, so that their digestive function can slowly recover.
To sum up, if you have vertical lines on your nails, don't be too anxious, because trauma to your nails can also cause this condition, and when the injury is healed, the vertical lines can be eliminated. If your vertical lines grow with your nails, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up to prevent the appearance of chronic diseases.
