THE HAND REVEALS SECRETS OF HEALTH:
IMPORTANT SIGNALS HARBOURED IN OUR HANDS NOT TO BE MISSED
The hand may have important signals on our health: (1) Reddened fleshy part of the palms: may be liver diseases, especially
cirrhosis (hardening) of the liver (hormones mishandled) (2) Hard, yellow bumps protruding when the fist is clenched: familial
high cholesterol blood levels and deposits, according to Mason, cardiac nurse, British Heart Foundation (3) "Spoon nails"
(reversal of the normal curvature of the nails): could be iron deficiency anaemia (4) Clubbing of fingers (due to accumulation of
PGE2): tips of fingers become small clubs: could be lung cancer, tuberculosis or mesothelioma (due to asbestos) (5) Blue
fingernails (cyanosis) could be due to heart failure and low blood oxygen: do remove nail varnish when going for operations (6)
Tiny beaded nails like candle wax dripping: inflammation of the blood vessels under the nail: rheumatoid arthritis (7) Painful bony
pea-sized lumps (Heberden's nodes) around joints of fingers: osteoarthritis of the hips (8) Pale white nails (near the skin) and
brownish on top half: could be kidney disease (9) Sweaty palms could be overactive thyroid (10) Excessive growth hormone
may cause oversized hands.
