BRITTLE NAILS

SYMPTOMS

  • Nails that break, peel, bend, split or tear easily.


ROOT CAUSES

·

  • Poor diet, deficient in protein, vitamin A, biotin, vitamin B12, iron, sulfur, silica, calcium, essential fatty acids, or other nutrients
  • Topical use of nail polish remover
  • Poor digestion and absorption, possibly caused by a deficiency in stomach acid, friendly flora, or enzymes
  • Hormone deficiency, especially low thyroid


Recommended Food

Quality protein sources, such as fish, legumes, nuts, and lean poultry, are important.

Foods rich in B vitamins, such as whole grains, should be increased. Other food sources of B vitamin biotin are soybeans, eggs, cauliflower, and mushrooms. Another good source of B vitamins is nutritional brewer’s yeast.

Sulfur-rich foods, such as broccoli, garlic onions, and sea vegetables, should be included in the diet. So should silicon-rich foods like whole grains, bananas, raisins, beans, and lentils. Calcium-rich sources, such as carrots, broccoli, kale and vegetable milks, are recommended.

One packet of gelatin daily is a home remedy that has been used throughout the years to improve nail health.


Foods to Avoid

Decrease the consumption of simple sugars, alcohol, caffeine, and soda, which leach minerals out of the body.
