Turn to a fortuneteller or visit a salon every three days? Let's consider the possible options.

Step 1. Balanced Nutrition

Healthy and healthy food can cope with any problems, in particular with brittle nails. A proper diet promotes their accelerated growth, prevents delamination, thickens the plate and saturates it with the necessary minerals. Vitamins that form the nail: A, B, C, E. Minerals necessary for the full growth of nails: iron, calcium, zinc.

Vitamin A accelerates growth, it is found in the following foods: butter, carrots, beef liver. Alcohol and caffeine reduce vitamin production, so try not to consume them.

Vitamin B promotes rapid growth and thickens the nail plate. Thanks to him, complex microelements are better absorbed in the body. Eat more green vegetables and fruits, milk, eggs and brewer's yeast.

Vitamin C eliminates yellowness due to smoking, and also fights against premature aging of the nail plate. Due to the lack of vitamin C, the nails become brittle and begin to exfoliate. Eat all citrus fruits, gooseberries, black and red currants. Stock up on ascorbic acid and take it 3 times a day.

Vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant. It removes all toxins from the body, accelerates the release of fluid and improves blood circulation. Vitamin E is found in green vegetables, butter, sunflower and olive oils, as well as in liver and meat.

Iron is found in apples, buckwheat, lentils, peas, cabbage, mushrooms and prunes. It promotes accelerated blood flow and makes the nail grow faster.

Calcium is part of dairy products. Eat cottage cheese, cheeses, all kinds of natural yogurts. Do not forget about eggs, almonds, oranges, cabbage, sardines, raisins and dates.

Zinc can be found in pork, lamb, bananas, oatmeal, beef and buckwheat. It controls the distribution of proteins in the body and promotes tissue elasticity.
