If Your NAILS Look Like THIS After 60, Your Body May Be Hiding 4 Diseases

Your fingernails grow slowly and can reflect what has been happening in your body over recent months. After 60, a few nail changes are worth understanding, and many are simply normal aging. This video walks through four common nail changes, what research does and does not support for each one, and which questions to bring to your doctor. What you'll learn: － Why vertical nail ridges are usually normal aging, and which early Parkinson's clues have stronger evidence － What Beau's lines and half-and-half nails can mean, including how kidney function fits in － How spoon nails connect to iron levels and what large studies found about iron deficiency and dementia risk － Why a fading lunula is a weak clue on its own, and who should ask about a vitamin B12 test － A simple home routine: photos, notes and a medication list to take to your next appointment Nail changes are clues, not diagnoses. Photograph your nails, write down any symptoms, and ask your doctor which blood tests make sense for you. 👍 If this was useful, give the video a like. 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications for more evidence-based health videos for older adults.
