What should you pay attention to when cutting toenails at night

The growth rate of nails is as fast as that of hair, so we need to cut our nails frequently. However, some elderly people think that cutting nails at night is incorrect and will cause certain harm to their personal health. Is this statement correct? Next, let’s study whether there is any scientific basis for this statement and whether we need to stick to it.

First of all, let me make it clear to everyone: the claim that it is not good to cut nails at night has no scientific basis. Reason: Whenever someone says that cutting nails at night is not good, when you ask them the reason, they will say that cutting nails at night will cut your soul and other unlucky things, but from these reasons, you can already tell how credible they are.

Although the saying that you can't cut your nails at night is not credible, there are still some things you need to pay attention to when cutting your nails at night.

First point: Nails are constantly growing, and regular trimming is necessary. The only thing you need to pay attention to when cutting your nails at night is to be careful.

As people move throughout the day, the accumulated amount of hand movement will be released to the maximum extent. The nerve endings in the nail area are more sensitive at this time. When cutting your nails at night, do not cut inwards. You should leave a part larger than the front edge of the finger. The purpose of doing this is to avoid cutting the skin and injuring the nerves.

Second point: In addition, when cutting your nails at night, you should use special nail clippers instead of ordinary scissors. With nail clippers, you can control the distance between the knife and the nails and the trimming direction to the greatest extent.

The blades of ordinary scissors are sharp and can easily injure fingers and nerves.

Through the above understanding and introduction, we know that this statement has no scientific basis or scientific reason, so we don’t need to follow it. However, for our health, we need to cut our nails frequently, and we can cut our nails at any time. These are the habits and scientific principles we need to follow, which are in line with our lifestyle.
