Nails and Health: Read the Signs

Did you know your nails can reveal clues to your overall health? A touch of white here, a rosy tinge there, or some rippling or bumps may be a sign of disease in the body. Problems in the liver, lungs, and heart can show up in your nails. Keep reading to learn what secrets your nails might reveal.


Pale Nails

Very pale nails are sometimes linked to aging. But they can also be a sign of serious illness, such as:


· Anemia

· Congestive heart failure

· Diabetes

· Liver disease

· Malnutrition


White Nails

If the nails are mostly white with darker rims, this can indicate liver problems, such as hepatitis. In this image, you can see the fingers are also jaundiced, another sign of liver trouble.



Yellow Nails

One of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection. As the infection worsens, the nail bed may retract, and nails may thicken and crumble. In rare cases, yellow nails can indicate a more serious condition such as severe thyroid disease or psoriasis





Bluish Nails

Nails with a bluish tint can mean the body isn’t getting enough oxygen. This could indicate an infection in the lungs, such as pneumonia.



Rippled Nails

If the nail surface is rippled or pitted, this may be an early sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. Psoriasis is a skin condition that starts in the nails 10% of the time.



Cracked or Split Nails

Dry, brittle nails that frequently crack or split have been linked to thyroid disease. Cracking or splitting

combined with a yellowish hue is more likely due to a fungal infection

Puffy Nail Fold

If the skin around the nail appears red and puffy, this is known as inflammation of the nail fold. It may be

the result of lupus or another connective tissue disorder.

Dark Lines Beneath the Nail

Dark lines beneath the nail should be investigated as soon as possible. They are sometimes caused by

melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer.



Gnawed Nails

Biting your nails may be nothing more than an old habit, but in some cases it’s a sign of persistent anxiety that
could benefit from treatment. Nail biting or picking has also been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you can’t stop, it’s worth discussing with your doctor.

Nails Are Only Part of the Puzzle

Though nail changes accompany many conditions, these changes are rarely the first sign. And many nail abnormalities are harmless -- not everyone with white nails has hepatitis. If you’re concerned about the appearance of your nails, see a dermatologist

you just go for it..

if you get it, you won..

but if you don't get it,

you don't lose

at least you have tried..

it's never a shame to lose after trying..

but it is a shame if you lose without trying..

sit back..and think about my words..

and you will know..

Debat Tambah Bini Oleh : Zamri Keciks

Anda teringin sangat nak berpoligami? Tetapi sanggup ke isteri anda bermadu tiga? Berdebatlah dulu untuk mendapat jawapan yang menyakinkan. Jika tidak, silap haribulan anda bakal menjadi mencetus perang besar yang mana diakhirnya kekalahan pasti jatuh ke tangan anda. Ada berani?

Al-kisah seorang suami sedang mencari-cari helah untuk membolehkan dia berkahwin lagi..

Suami : Lelaki kawin 3 baru lah sah

Isteri : Kenapa pula?

Suami : Cuba terjemahkan ke dalam Bahasa Inggeris, “satu” is one, “dua” is two, “tiga”. Isteri (is three). Baru betul dan sah!.

Isteri : Tapi abang kena faham Bahasa Inggeris, terutama tentang “singular” dan “plural”

Suami : Berkenaan apa tu?

Isteri : Satu tu “Singular“; dua atau lebih “Plural”

Suami : Contohnya?

Isteri : One car sebagai singular, two cars sebagai plural. Apa bezanya?

Suami : Ohhh… tambah huruf “s” untuk yang plural

Isteri : Betul tu. Sama juga la untuk abang

Suami : Macam mana pula boleh sama?

Isteri : Satu isteri abang MAMPU, jika dua isteri dah jadi plural, maka abang MAMPUS, tambah “s” je, kan ?

Lepas daripada tu, si suami tidak pernah lagi berceritakan hasratnya untuk berkahwin lagi

Dajjal akan keluar apabila MasjidilAqsa tidak berazan selama 5 atau 7 hari...kemungkinan pada 21/12/2012


Ramai orang fikir itu tarikh kiamat.


TIDAK!


Nabi Isa tidak turun untuk berdakwah lagi selama 7 tahun!


DAjjal ada 30.


Semuanya akan insaf sebelum mati


Dikatakan dajjal akan berkuasa selama 44 hari atau tahun


Jangan takut.


Dajjal tidak boleh masuk :
1. Baitul maqdis
2. Mekah dan
3. Madinah


Ya'juj dan makjuj tidak muncul lagi.
Kaum yang dikepung dan diperangkap oleh raja Zulqarnain dan kaumnya membina dinding tinggi yang diperbuat daripada besi dan tembaga.
Haiwan yang aneh, ad-dabah, tidak keluar lagi.
Haiwan yang sepanjang 60 hasta ini membawa tongkat Nabi Musa dan cincin Nabi Sulaiman.
Matahari masih tidak terbit dari tempat terbenamnya bermakna pintu taubat masih terbuka.
Kekurangan gempa bumi & gunung berapi mengakibatkan tekanan pada bumi lalu mereka bencana terbesar di dunia.
Laut akan kering dan menjadi gurun
Neraka jahanam akan terbuka pintunya


Kiamat akan berlaku apabila tiada orang menyebut nama ALLAH.
Sebarkan kepara orang lain terutamanya umat islam
Sesungguhnya kiamat adalah jari hantu dan kelahiran Rasul Allah SAW adalah jari telunjuk.
Betapa dekat nya kiamat itu.


Sebarkanlah kepada umat Islam....
