Fingernails: how fast do they grow, and are the dents across nails indicative of stress?


How fast do fingernails grow. And is it true that dents across your fingernails indicate a period of stress in your life during the time?

(I'm curious because I just started eating meat again about 8 months ago after 9 years of vegetarianism, and I'm wondering if that corresponds to a dent in my nails -- I know it's kinda weird.)

Not usually stress but a lack of vitamins or minerals or disease process going on.
Everyone's nails grow at different rates.

Ever notice your toenails grow slower than your fingernails?

Dents or ridges across your nails are indeed indicicative of stress or health events. As to how fast they grow, doh no.
