Note on Nail Care
For beautiful nails, many women turn to manicures, nail clipping, filing, and polishing. However, excessive nail polishing can damage your nails after just 2-3 applications. The gel application process involves drying and curing the polish under a UV lamp, which, along with the chemicals, can be harmful to your nails. Additionally, UV rays can cause your nails to become drier.

Clipping, filing, and the use of acetone to remove polish can also make your nails more prone to breakage, discoloration, and other damage. Furthermore, using your nails as tools to pry open bottles or peel fruit can lead to similar issues.
Long nails are more susceptible to physical damage, such as when typing on a computer, and can result in breakage, cracks, or even nail avulsion, which is extremely painful.
Nutrition for Healthy Nails
– Vitamin B: Biotin (Vitamin H or B7) is essential for nail health and can be found in eggs, salmon, nuts, and legumes. As it is water-soluble and easily excreted, it’s important to maintain a consistent diet rich in biotin-containing foods.
In addition to biotin, vitamin B12 plays a crucial role in preventing nail dryness and discoloration.
– Vitamin A: This vitamin significantly impacts nail health. It aids in protein transport, a key component in nail structure. A deficiency in vitamin A can lead to weak, brittle nails that lack a healthy pinkish hue.

– Vitamin C: This vitamin is crucial for collagen production, which is essential for strong nails and hair.
– Vitamin D: A lack of vitamin D impairs calcium absorption, leading to brittle nails. Ensure your diet includes other vital nutrients like healthy fatty acids, zinc, protein, hydrochloric acid, copper, calcium, iron, iodine, and selenium.
Lastly, stay hydrated! Dehydration weakens cells, affecting your skin, hair, and nails. Aim for a daily water intake of 1500-2000ml, depending on your weight.
