Finger nails

This may be odd to my readers at first that I'm writing about finger nails, but I like to learn about the body and I want to share about what I know about the different parts. For now on I will also be writing about the things in our body and the functions and facts about them. I find it fun to learn about and hope you do too.
Obviously by the title, this post is about our finger nails. Your nails are important for what we do in life by being able to pick things and to keep the tips of our fingers healthy. It takes about six months for our nails to grow from base to tip. Thats a long time. But most of our finger nails have dead cells in them because the only part of our nails that are living are in the white have circle at the base of our nails. That is also where more cells are produced and are pushed to the front (tip) of the nail. Your nails never stop growing and when it is growing the base of the nail produces new cells that push the existing cells across like a plank to the end of the nail.  So thats how they form initially. When they split and crack at the tip of the nail and get thin and sharp, (this happens to me a lot) that means you lack certain vitamins in your body. Such as Biotin can help with this very well that also help with your skin and nails.

Sometimes putting certain nail polishes on can help nails restore nails and protect the nails from the elements of the world for the most part. Plus its pretty, but getting your nails a manicure at a beauty parlor/salon ruins your nails, cause great pain, and be bad for your health. The toxic chemicals they use for your nails can disintegrate your nails and stop further cell reproduction in the nails. It may be pretty, but is it worth it no longer having nails after a certain amount of time of getting them done and having pain? I think not, but many people will get fake nails and tell me I'm crazy, but really its not worth your money to me and its cheaper to do the same thing yourself.
