1
Oh little kitty, your nails are getting bigger.
2
Please make sure to cut them off.
3
Why?
4
Well, that's the scenario I'll explain to you all by answering a nail biting question.
5
What if you never cut your nails?
6
Zoom in.
7
In the big world of taking care of ourselves,
8
one little thing we sometimes forget is trimming our nails.
9
It might seem okay for a while,
10
but soon it can get pretty messy.
11
But before we talk about that,
12
let's find out how your nails grow in the first place.
13
Nails start growing behind your U-shaped cuticle in the root area of the nail called the matrix.
14
This matrix is filled with specialized cells that continuously divide and create nail cells.
15
These cells produce the protein keratin,
16
the same material found in hair and the outer layer of the skin.
17
As new keratin filled cells develop,
18
they force the older ones to get packed together and push up through the skin.
19
Once they emerge, these cells lose their ability to multiply
20
and form the visible part of your nail known as the nail plate.
21
This nail plate lies on the nail bed,
22
the area underneath your fingernails.
23
On average, fingernails grow at a rate of about 3.47 mm per month.
24
But this can accelerate due to factors like nail trauma or if you have the unhygienic habit of biting them.
25
Additionally, they tend to grow faster during the daytime
26
when the hand is more active due to increased blood circulation and cell formation.
27
So considering these factors, how long can you let them grow?
28
To explore this, let's visit Minnesota,
29
USA, where we meet Diana Armstrong.
30
She has refrained from cutting her nails since 1997
31
and currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest fingernails
32
on a pair of hands with a combined length of 42 feet.
33
With such extreme lengths, each of Diana's nails requires 4-5
34
paint using 15 to 20 bottles of nail polish and a woodworking tool for filing.
35
However, these lengthy nails come at a cost,
36
imposing limitations on daily activities such as picking up items from the floor and even opening the refrigerator door.
37
If you thought that was challenging,
38
allow me to introduce Shridhar Chilal from Pune,
39
India, who secured the world record for the longest fingernails on a single hand,
40
measuring nearly 30 feet in total length.
41
His excessively long and heavy nails resulted in disfigurement and impaired function in his left hand.
42
Adding to the complications, he claims that the immense weight of his nails caused nerve damage,
43
ultimately leading to deafness in his left ear.
44
Despite knowing the costs involved,
45
if someone still wants to grow their nails,
46
then remember to clean your growing nails every day to get rid of the bacteria and fungus making a home Otherwise,
47
these germs can end up giving you food poisoning.
48
Not only that, but after a while,
49
these pretty looking nails will stop growing straight and start to coil and twist.
50
Once this happens, everyday things like typing,
51
buttoning a shirt or shaking hands would turn into really hard challenges.
52
And in case you don't take care of them,
53
after reaching a few feet,
54
they will become brittle and eventually break apart.
55
And all your hard work will go in vain.
56
So better to keep them trimming.
57
Trivia Time!
58
Did you know the medical name for the habit of biting your nails is Onychophagia.
59
Yes, it's estimated that 25 to 30% of children have the habit of nail biting.
60
It's sketching time!
61
Today's sketch of the day goes to Rohib.
62
Hope we nailed it today.
63
Until next time, it's me Dr. Binox, Zooming out!
64
Never mind.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
