10 Signs of Being Anemic
Sign #8: Koilonychia
The various nutrients and minerals that make up our food have different physical effects on our body. They help our organs and other body parts to function properly, and they also help to ensure that our body grows and repairs as it should do. If there is a deficiency of one or more of these components, it can have a profound effect on some parts of our body.
One potential symptom of iron deficiency anemia is koilonychia. This is a condition that causes our nails to grow flat rather than downward as they usually would. In some cases, it can even cause them to grow upward.
