Are white nails a sign of good health? Take this quiz and find out!

What is the colour of your nails?

Did you know that your nails reveal a lot about your overall health?

They are a mirror to what’s happening inside your body.

While experts at nail spas spend hours pampering your nails, what they don't actually tell you is that your nail disfiguration could actually hint at something more serious like a heart problem, liver trouble, diabetes, skin problems, toxic intake or lack of nutrients.

Clearly, the health of your nails is important, and there's no point shying away from it.

Shameem Akthar, yogacharya trained with Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center, takes you through a quiz to reveal the hidden signs of nail problems that cosmetic spas often try to conceal.
