You and Your Nails


The most forgotten part of the body I guess is the nails. Most of us spend a great deal of cash with skin or hair treatment but not with our nails. We may not be aware of the simple yet so beneficial function of the nails in our body; they assist with fine touches, serves as protection for our fingers both on toes and hands and they too help us hold onto small objects. Lack of Vitamin A would cause dryness and easy breakage of our nails (ouch!) and carrot juice would be a perfect source of such vitamin.


For healthy nails, include in your diet food rich in sulfur and silicon like fish and onions. For people who just love wearing long nails, it would be recommendable to use the tip of a pen or pencil when dialing the phone to avoid your precious nails from breaking. And most important of all, it would not hurt your budget if you treat your feet and hands with nail treatment (pedicure, manicure) every now and then to take off those dead cells on and around our nails. Next time you go for a beauty treatment, please don’t forget your nails.
