The Sneaky Cause of Brittle Nails

The Sneaky Cause of Brittle, Bendy Nails

Say goodbye to brittle and bendy nails – there’s hope for stronger, healthier looking nails!

When Strong Nails Take a Backseat

Just like glowing skin doesn’t happen overnight, strong nails take dedicated work. But let’s get real – there are countless things vying for your attention, leaving your nails to suffer the consequences.

Do you find yourself constantly applying nail polish and cuticle oil, wondering why your nails still manage to feel brittle and look lackluster? Before you try a new remedy or brand, let’s uncover the sneaky culprit behind weak nails.

The Underrated Truth

Nails need more than just occasional buffing or the occasional Vitamin E treatment to stay healthy. Think about it this way – your nails are a part of your larger skin structure, which encompasses your nails, cuticles, and the skin underneath. Yes, you heard that right – your diet plays a significant role in the strength and appearance of your nails!

Habits you may think are harmless are actually robbing your body (and subsequently, your nails) of essential nutrients. Say goodbye to brittle nails caused by a deficient diet that lacks:

  • Silica (a major contributor to skin and hair growth)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids (keeping skin and cuticles nourished)
  • Adequate calcium (reducing risk of dry, brittle nails)

Do you recall making healthy adjustments to your eating habits but still struggling with weak nails? Don’t worry; it’s likely due to one or a combination of these lesser-discussed yet significant factors:

  • Heat styling (damage from heated tools damages cuticles)
  • Proper cuticle care neglect (leading to dryness and brittleness)
  • Inadequate moisturization (dulling cuticle health and nails)

A Quick Fix, A New Habits to Adopt

Revive the health of your nails in just a few easy-to-implement ways:

Makeover Your Hydration Habit

Quench your thirst for healthy hydration by making water your number one choice. Aim to drink a minimum of:

4-5 liters of pure water throughout the day

Reduce caffeine consumption, as dehydrated nails can accelerate brittleness

Replace dry air and harsh chemicals found in

Excessive hand soaping 
	 Frequent dish washing
	 Washing clothes (harsh dyes weaken nails)

Snack Right for Nail-Bit-Tastic Results!

To give your nails a makeover, sneak these snack-enhancing powers into your repertoire:

  • Bok Choy: Packed with Vitamins A & E to boost skin
  • Fish (Salmon, tuna, or Mackerel): Rich omega-3s for glowy
  • Sesame seeds (add to omelets or salads)

The benefits don’t stop at snack time, though:

Wear gloves
Handle dish soap like it's hot (cozy palms for your nips!)

Eat Nutrient-Rich Meals Like a Pro!
Take advantage of:
* Spinach omelets
* Cereal salads with chia, walnuts, and
* Overnight oats with oat milk
