Your nails can be an indicator to your health and can alert you to any  underlying health problems — so pay attention to what your nails are telling you!

The American Academy of Dermatology says the condition of your nails could indicate possible:

- Liver disease, which may be characterized by whitening of the nails.

- Kidney disease, if half of each nail is pink and the other half white.

- Heart condition, if the nail beds are red.

- Lung disease, which could be characterized by thick, yellow nails that grow slowly.

- Anemia, if nail beds are pale.

- Diabetes, if nails have a yellow tint that look blush at the base.
