The reasons might be endless, and as we might not be doctors on the area, we do know some tips that are gold worthy when opting for healthier nails! It’s not about changing diets or you way of life, but adding or increasing certain intakes of food might change you nail status to the better. Another way of hacking healthier nails is also by treating them rightfully with products and nail care.

5 tips on healthier nails

  • Adding some extra protein to your diet is beneficial as protein is one of the ways to stronger nails. Food that is high in protein is eggs, chia seeds and soybeans!
