what does it mean when my fingernails are growing faster than before?

You're happier/healthier/more relaxed. You either were not getting enough calcium or whatever in your diet, or you were too stressed to be growing them. Fingernails and hair are actually tell-tale signs of a person's emotional conditions; they do not grow as fast when things aren't going so well.

Hello Nuhgar,

In general one can say fast growing nails is good sign in terms of health! By the way, fingernails are growing faster on long fingers ... and therefore usually the middle finger is the fastes growing finger. So, you don't have to worry about your observations, and yes ... indeed it might be the result of a change in food habit! (source: Color Atlas of the nail in clinical diagnosis - Beaven & Brooks).

By the way, you can find a lot more info on other general and specific aspects of the nails at:

It usually depends on the person as to the speed your nails are growing. It's the look of nails not speed at which they grow that can determine health. If your nails are light pink, slightly opague and react to pressure, they are probably healthy. Get out your clippers:)

In my case, tuna fish, I love the stuff and eat about three cans a week.

Also, you will laugh, but I dip my nails in olive oil and massage into the cuticles.

Now I do the French nail polish and they are so beautiful. My Mom keeps asking if they are fake.

You are most likely healthier than you were before. Are you taking a vitamin now that you were not taking before, or eating better? That is probably why.

it's a good thing. It means you are getting enough calcium and minerals. So, enjoy and don't worry.

PREVIOUSLY YOU HAD BEEN DEFICIENT IN CALCIUM IN -TAKE WHICH HAS BEEN REPLENISHED BY SOME CHANGE OF FOOD ADDED TO YOUR DIET WHICH YOU WOULD BE KNOWING. YOU MAY HAVE MANICURED YOUR NAILS WELL.A.S LONG AS THEY ARE GROWING HEALTHY AND STRONG, THER IS NO NEED TO WORRY.

You're probably healthier
