BREAKING NAILS

Natural Cures for Breaking Nails - More Than Home Remedies

Nails that break often could be too brittle. One way to fix brittle nails is to apply cream or lotion to the hands and nails.

Even nails that are not brittle can break often without good care. Filing nails weekly will help keep them in good condition.

If your nails always break when they reach a certain length, file them shorter before they reach that length. If you see a small break starting at the side of the nail, cutting the nail shorter and filing it will prevent it from painfully breaking off above the white section.

The healthiest nails come from good nutrition. It is important to get enough B vitamins, Vitamin A, zinc, iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, and protein in your diet for your nails to be healthy. Omega 3 oil and garlic improve nail health. More is not better with Vitamin A and iron - stick with the recommended daily allowance, and it is best to get your vitamins from food whenever possible. In fact, too much Vitamin A can cause brittle nails.
