Fingernails and Hair

Everyone’s fingernails and hair grow. Some grow faster than others. Also, some fingernails may look different on different people’s hands. Fingernails that are strong and do not break easily usually belong to a healthy person. Fingernails that break easily and are dark in color may mean that this person is sick with a kidney or other organ problem.

Many people believe that a person’s hair and fingernails grow after the person dies. However, this is not true. It may appear that the hair and nails have grown because the body has actually shrunk. This is because the person has no longer been eating or drinking water.

There are many things you can do to have strong and healthy nails. First, eating healthy foods will help keep your nails and hair long and strong. This is because they contain vitamins like Vitamin B7 and Vitamin D. Also, having your blood move through your body can also help create good nails and hair.
