The correct way to cut toenails and fingernails is how to avoid leg problems.

Here are 5 tips of Saito Masataka:

1. 1. Cut your fingernails as soon as possible after bathing because your nails are soft and easy to cut at the moment.
2. 2. Start from the top, trim the nail bit by bit so that the nail does not crack
3. 3. Cut the nail and create a square.
4. 4. Cut the nail so that its length matches the toe.
5. 5. Do not cut corners on the sides of the nail to round the nail.

The first two tips may be normal for some people. But from advice 3-5, there are many people who are doing the wrong way.

Starting with the 4th advice, if you trim the nail so that it is shorter than the toe, the skin on the front of the foot will be rubbed inside the shoe all day long. This will cause your toes to swell and swell. In addition, it also prevents your toenails from erecting and gradually forming nail deformity, causing leg pain when the toenails are long and bent.

Points 3 and 5 also have certain links. Although you may like the aesthetics when your nails and toenails are trimmed and rounded corners, cutting the corners of your nails and toenails can make nails more prone to getting stuck in the meat of your toes, leads to inflammation and toe pain.

Of course, warning of trimming nails too short doesn't mean you let your nails grow freely. If the nail is too long, you will also experience discomfort, such as a leg shock when wearing the shoe. It's best to leave your toenails at a moderate length.

Although the illustration does not specifically mention the big toe, according to Dr. Masataka Saito, this is the best shape to trim all your nails and toenails.
