8. Clubbed Fingertips → Heart or Lung Disease

Rounded or enlarged fingertips may indicate low oxygen levels caused by chronic heart or lung problems, such as congenital heart defects.

Recommendation: Seek urgent medical evaluation, especially if accompanied by shortness of breath or fatigue.

9. White Nail Beds → Anemia or Liver Disease

Pale or white nail beds can be a sign of iron deficiency (anemia) or liver conditions that affect blood circulation.

Recommendation: Eat iron-rich foods like red meat, beans, and spinach. If symptoms persist, ask your doctor for blood tests.

10. Red Palms → Liver Issues or High Blood Pressure

Unexplained redness in the palms can indicate liver disease, hormonal imbalances, or high blood pressure. It may also occur during pregnancy due to increased blood flow.

Recommendation: Monitor blood pressure, reduce alcohol use, and consider a liver function test if redness does not go away.
