Question

A child says that his friend’s nails have a moon-shaped region, but his do not. What impact does the moon-shaped region have on physical health? How should one handle this situation?

Answer

Some believe that having a moon-shaped region on the nails indicates good health and adequate nutrition. Different nail conditions may reflect different health issues: 1. White nails may be associated with conditions such as bleeding or anemia; 2. Thinning and softening nails might be related to chronic digestive diseases; 3. Yellow nails could be a sign of vitamin E deficiency or other diseases. If you are concerned about your health, it is advisable to consult a hospital for examination and advice.
