My fingernails keep breaking?!
Question:
My fingernails keep breaking?
My fingernails keep breaking when my fingers bump into anything. I know they make nail hardeners you can put on the nail, but I wonder if I should be concerned about more than my nails. I read somewhere that nail health is an indicator of overall health, and if something is wrong with your nails, it is probably a symptom on some other medical problem, or a sign of something your body needs but is not getting. Can anyone advise me on what vitamins I need or what type of nutrition I should be getting more of?
Answers:
My mother takes gelatin capsules every day, and has for years. She swears by them, for making nails hard and strong. It also apparently makes your hair silkier. I think most grocery stores, drug stores and health food stores sell them. She really does have nice nails, too. In fact, I should try it! :D
