Food for healthy Nails
Nails are a protective horn at the end of our most sensitive extremities: fingers and
toes. They can often become injured from accidents or crushing weight such as
heavy walking or running. They can also become infected from bacterial or fungal
infections as well as separated from the nail bed or chipped from harsh weather.
The nails are often a reflection of our allembracing condition or nutritional deficiencies. Some
ways to listen to what your nails are trying to tell you are:
o Iron/Protein/Calcium deficiency = brittle, concave, ridged, white half moons
o Too much salt = external fibrous growths
o Nervousness / hyper thyroid = disjunction of the nail bed
o Respiratory Difficulties = bluish discoloration
o Bronchial Difficulties = yellowish discoloration
o Anemia = pale nail beds
o Vitamin A deficiency = peeling nails
o Zinc deficiency = poor nail growth
o Vegetable capability Oils deficiency = thin, fragile nails
o Consumption Extremes in Diet (especially meats and refined foods) = washboard

What we eat as a matter of fact does influence the appearance of these external parts of our
bodies. Start paying attention to your hands (and feet!) and feeding your body right.
The food we put In the body affects the condition of our nails, but that doesn't mean to
completely ignore the food we put On the body either. Contrary to many fabulously
smart marketing campaigns you don't need to spend a lot of money on chemically
enhanced products to palpate drive and attractiveness on your outside.
Natural oils are an excellent way to treat the external condition of the finger and
toenails. Distinct oils influence the body differently. A great way to rule what oil
would suit your body best is to study your patrimony and associate to the
predominant oil in that part of the world.
Once you have thought about which is best for your singular body's need use some
time in the evening to take a "nail bath" (remember ... The skin is our most
absorbent organ ...)
1. Allow your nails to soak in a small bowl of oil or slowly rub the oil into the nails
2. Cover with cotton gloves, cotton socks
3. Sleep
Top Three Oils to Treat Your Nails Right
1. Coconut Oil: one of the few critical plant sources of lauric acid. This medium
chain fatty acid, which is also found in human milk, enhances brain function and the
immune system.
2. Palm Kernel: when unrefined, this high saturation oil is the one of the most stable
of oils providing drive and ultimate saturation to the skin.
3. Olive Oil: the most stable vegetable oil, high in vitamin E, provides reserve to the
liver and gallbladder (yes, no matter how you take it into the body).
Now, take a wee and think about how those chemically enhanced skin and nail
products are affecting your body ...
To your vigor and success, Heather
