10. Eat Protein-Based Foods
To attain strong and healthy nails, experts suggest increasing protein intake. Nails are made of keratin, a kind of protein. Therefore, protein-based foods will provide the building blocks for growing strong nails. On the other hand, lack of protein can cause white spots on your nails and make them weak.
- Include protein rich foods in your diet, such as chicken, eggs, lean meats, low-fat dairy, nuts, seafood, soybeans, quinoa, beans, and tofu.
- You can also drink protein shakes or add protein powder to a glass of milk. Before taking any protein supplement, consult a doctor.
Additional Tips
- Be patient as you cannot get rid of weak and brittle nails in a day. Allow time for your nails to recover.
- Start eating healthy foods more often.
- Keep your nails free from nail polish and fake nails.
- Limit your nails’ exposure to harsh chemicals.
- Avoid spending a lot of time with your hands in water as it can soften your nails, causing them to break easily.
- When working with your hands, wear gloves to protect your nails.
- Keep your nails short. The shorter your nails are, the stronger they tend to be. However, do not cut your cuticles.
- Avoid picking things and hard surfaces with your nails. Also, stop biting your nails.
- Dry your toenails and fingernails thoroughly after swimming or showering and be sure to apply lotion.
- Do manicures and pedicures at least once a month for healthy and strong nails.
