The signs in your fingernails that could show how long you have to live, according to doctor
As we get older, many parts of our body start to change. Skin begins to sag where it didn't used to before, your eyesight starts to worsen and you begin to shrink.
We all want to keep an eye on our health, but this can be hard to do without regularly visiting a doctor. For people wanting to find out more about how they are ageing from the comfort of their home, one genetic expert has revealed a simple way to do this.According to Dr David Sinclair, a genetics professor at Harvard Medical School, the answers are in your fingernails, reports the Express.Dr Sinclair has revealed that you may be able to tell whether you are ageing slower or faster than your number of years depending on the growth of your fingernails.
This is because the rate your nails grow may suggest how quickly your body is able to generate new, healthy cells. These new cells are more likely to protect your body against age-related decline.
Therefore, the faster your nails grow could mean that your body is healthy enough to stay youthful longer than your peers. Dr Sinclair said: "The rate of your nail growth is a really good indicator of how you're ageing or not ageing."This link between nail growth and ageing has been suggested due to a 1979 study that showed that weekly fingernail growth begins to slow down by around 0.5 per cent per year from the age of 30.
