Lack of Zinc in your diet...





Along with calcium and iron, zinc is probably the most important mineral to the human body. A zinc deficiency can cause everything from acne to diabetes as zinc makes the insulin (the hormone that regulates glucose levels in the blood), eliminates harmful toxins, and maintains a healthy immune system.





Try taking supplements or eat more foods rich in zinc like meat (lamb in particular), oats, eggs, nuts and oysters.
heres a little folk tale,


they say if you tell a lie those white spots will pop up,


but knowing me all my nails should be completely white,


but yeah its just a minor injury to the nail,


no need to get scared or anything.
This usually indicates a zinc deficiency.
