Yellow Nail Syndrome

If your fingernails are thick, have slow growth, and are yellow in color, you suffer from yellow nail syndrome. It’s important to understand what the underlying cause might be. In some cases, yellow nail syndrome is a sign of a resperatory illness such as bronchitis.

Brittle Nails

Broken and brittle nails are very common. A lot of people think it’s due to cheap nail polish or chemically treated nails. While this may be the case for some, it’s important to note that brittle nails are also caused by thyroid disease. If your nails are flakey or peel away, you may have a protein deficiency, or suffer from malnutrition.
