Supply the indicated deficiencies, listed above, which apply to you.
• Eat a high-protein diet, including Brewer’s yeast, calcium, silica, and, if necessary, hydrochloric acid.
• Water causes the nails to swell and they shrink when dry, resulting in loose, brittle nails.
• Avoid immersing the hands in detergent water.
• Never cut the cuticles. This damages the nail and invites infections. Do not push them back.
• Brittle nails are common among teenagers, pregnant women, and those with food allergies. The problem is malabsorption or nutritional deficiencies (unsaturated essential fatty acids, amino acids, calcium, iron, or zinc).
• Hangnails are caused by an essential fatty acid deficiency. Put vitamin E oil or aloe vera directly on it, to reduce further breaking and likelihood of infection. They are particularly common among women who have their hands in water a lot or who bite their nails. Keep nails clipped short. Rub vegetable oil into the hands occasionally.
• If you tend to pick at your nails, wear clothes with pockets; and, when you find yourself starting to do it, put your hands in your pockets.
