Many of you may have seen certain unusual white spots on your nails. So, what did you do then? Maybe, shared it with someone elder to you or simply ignored it because anyway, it didn't look like a sign of some serious medical condition. However, there's something really important that you need to know about the same. Those unwanted white dots on your nails may indicate something more that you must be aware of. Nutritionist Nmami Agarwal, in the third part of her "Signs of vitamin deficiency" series, shares what exactly those spots indicate. Going by her video, the nails show the absence of certain vitamins and minerals in your body. She also shares some sources of getting those nutrients from food.
Nmami Agarwal says, “You must have experienced white spots on your nails at some point in your life. Now, this is because of deficiency of certain vitamins and minerals.”
She explains that the nail plate is made of a variety of nutrients. And deficiency of certain nutrients can show on the nails. Mostly, this condition is linked to zinc and calcium deficiency.
So, she suggests increasing your calcium and zinc intake the next time you experience white spots on the nails.
Some of the sources of zinc include foods like eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, and legumes. Whereas, calcium can be obtained from sesame seeds, ragi, and dairy products.
