How to have Healthy Nails

I will get straight to the point, the way to have healthy, strong nails is all to do with nutrition. What you eat has a major effect on the way your nails grow. Many people don't realise this and think it is how you care for your nails that makes them strong and healthy.

Make sure you have plenty of vitamins. Vitamin A, C, and vitamin B12 all have an effect on your finger and toe nails.

Vitamin A keeps your nails strong. Dry and bitter nails could be due to a lack of vitamin A as well as calcium. Your nails will be more prone to breaking as well.

Vitamin C can help prevent hang nails. Protein and frolic acid work with vitamin C keeping your nails healthy. You may have noticed random white bands across your fingernails at some point. These are often caused by protein deficiency and making sure your intake of protein is standard can help keep your nails looking clear and healthy.

Zinc also prevents white spots on your nails. Vitamin B12 helps keep your nails from drying out, much like vitamin A. Without vitamin B12 nails often also become darker and the ends often curve. Sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 can keep your nails growing healthy and remaining naturally coloured and clear.

Make sure you have hydrochloride acid in your diet as this prevents nails from splitting and breaking. Making sure you eat a healthy diet will give you healthy nails. It is recommended that people should consume a diet of fifty percent fruits and vegetables. It is also recommended by dieticians to drink at least eight glasses of water a day. It is extremely important that people remain hydrated and keep their intake of liquids high. In fact, carrot juice is thought to be the best liquid for keeping your nails healthy and strong. The high levels of calcium and phosphorus in carrot juice keeps nails especially strong.

So eating the right diet can have a huge impact on your nails. However, a proper diet can have positive aspects on almost every area of your life. In addition to keeping your nails strong healthy, a proper diet can make your entire body feel healthy, rejuvenated and strong.
