Why do fingernails break easily?

Hands are a very important part of our body. Without them, we can't do many things. Fingernails are also an important part of hands. Many people's fingernails never grow long and are very ugly. They are always envious of their friends who have beautiful nails. I am very frustrated because my nails always break accidentally and are difficult to grow back. Why are nails so brittle? What is going on?

First of all, the cause of the disease should be found out: one is that the nails are in contact with water for too long; two is that the diet lacks protein and elements such as calcium, sulfur, zinc or vitamins A, B, and C; three is chronic disease or emotional stress; four is oral contraceptives; five is that the nails are polished or caused by the use of abrasives. You may wish to adopt the following corrective methods respectively.

1. Take two tablespoons of yeast and 1000 mg of bile acid orally every day. It is best to add these nutrients to fluid or milk for oral administration, which will help improve the strength of nails.

2. Considering that iron deficiency can cause dry and brittle nails, it is best to eat more iron-rich foods and take vitamin C to improve the ability to absorb iron.

3. Soak your polished, defect-free nails in warm malt oil or other natural oil for about 5-10 minutes every day, then massage from the fingertips to the surface cuticle. If you use an emery board to slightly abrade the surface of the nail, it will make it easier for the oil to penetrate.

4. Soak your fingers in diluted vinegar every night. This is a good way to prevent nail splitting. White iodine applied to the top of the nail and under the nail tip can not only restore the bendability and strength of the nail, but also prevent the nail from breaking into pieces.

The health of your nails reflects the health of your entire body. Nails are prone to splitting, breaking, becoming thinner and brittle. In addition to some diseases and infections, this may be due to a lack of vitamin A or systemic malnutrition in the human body. Patients with this condition should examine their eating habits, such as whether they are picky eaters and do not like to eat foods high in vitamin A. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as lamb liver, carrots, fish, fruits, etc. Some patients do not have picky eating habits, but rather digestive dysfunction. Even if they eat foods rich in vitamin A, they are poorly absorbed. Such people should consider seeking specialist treatment.

Changes in the color and texture of the nails can reflect some physical illnesses. We should observe our fingernails more often in our daily lives. Once we find any changes, we should quickly look up relevant information to determine whether it is good or bad.
