Nail Beds

Today's gem came from a medical report I read at work. The report referenced the color of the patient's nail beds. So I looked it up, and I learned that there are a lot of things the color and condition of your fingernails can tell you. Pink nails are good. Yellow, not so much- that could be a sign of lung problems. Blue, definitely bad. That can be a sign of respiratory problems. White nail beds could indicate liver problems or anemia.
There's more, but I'll let you learn some on your own if you're still curious.

My nails? They're pinkish. And cozy around my favorite coffee cup.
