Tips for Healthy Nails



To maintain a healthy body is very important, and right along with that comes maintaining healthy nails. I will list 2 of the biggest questions I have come across and answers about keeping healthy nails on an everyday basis.

Is it true that artificial nails will weaken my natural nails?
The biggest time that you will experience a weakening of your natural nails, is when you remove the artificial nails. Wearing artificial nails for an extended period of time can cause fungus to breed. Your natural nail could loose strength that cannot be regained. If artificial nails are a must for you, give them a break every three months, which gives you natural nails time to restore their resilience and strength.

Why have my nails turned yellow?
Discoloration in your nails could mean a few things, and one of the most common reasons is usually due to old nail polish. Nail polish can stain the nail plate that has been left on for too long. Unfortunately another reason of yellow nails could be a fungus. If you notice that the discoloration has not changed after a period of time, then consult your doctor. To maintain healthy nails, it is very important to keep a healthy diet. Calcium is an essential nutrient for your nails, and it can be found in many products such as milk, yogurt, cheese and broccoli.
