I kept lying to myself. Every day I put on a perfect mask: I’m fine, I’ve got everything under control.
But deep down, something inside me was crying out. My body was drained, my mind exhausted… yet I refused to listen.
Until that one decisive day. At first glance, it was just a small detail, a strange sensation—and suddenly everything turned upside down.
That’s when I realized: it wasn’t “all in my head.”

Although often linked to aging 👵👴, vertical ridges on your nails can actually reveal hidden imbalances in your body.
These little marks can sometimes be the very first signals your body is sending 🚨—you just need to know how to read them 👂.
🔍 Where do they come from?
These lines may point to an iron deficiency 🩸, which reduces oxygen supply to the nails, or a vitamin B12 deficiency 🍳🥩, which is essential for the nervous system and healthy cell function.
They may also be related to thyroid issues 🦋, which slow nail growth and weaken their structure. And let’s not forget the impact of long-term stress 😰, which can significantly affect how nails grow.
🧠 Other possible reasons…
A weak digestive system 🍽️❌ can make it harder for the body to absorb the nutrients needed for strong nails.
And one habit that is often overlooked—nail biting 😬—can damage the nail matrix and cause these ridges to appear.
✅ What to keep in mind:
Vertical lines on nails don’t always mean illness 🚫, but they do deserve our attention 🔎.
They might signal nutritional gaps, an unbalanced lifestyle 🍎🏃, or even emotional strain 💭💔.
👉 Care for your inner health, and your nails will reflect it. ✨
