QuestionHi, what vitamins/ foods are especially good for the growth and strength of nails?
My nails are finally looking stronger and longer. I put on a clear polish that aids in growing the nails but I want to know what foods/vitamins are helpful.
AnswerHi Andrea
Im glad to hear that your nails are growing well.
There is a divided theory about vitamins and certain foods aiding healthy growth.
A varied healthy diet will always help your hair, skin and nails.
As will drinking water and a healthy life style.
This can be backed up by thinking about the reverse of this, ie. when someone is suffering from anorexia or has a drug addiction, the lack of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet will show in the bad condition of the hair, skin and nails.
That said, whether it is more beneficial to take vitamin supplements that are specific to healthy growth of nails etc, rather than just a healthy lifestyle is undecided.
I suppose if you try the supplements for healthy nails (which can be purchased from health food shops) you have to take them for a few months b4 you can judge their effect.
I would suggest that as they are growing well already, your money would be better spent on weekly manicures to keep them in good condition.
This I can guarentee you will work!
Good luck
