there ya .. straight frm my health book :D ^^^^^^^^^^Foods that contirbute to healthy nails.?
you can get supplement pills in health shops and some supermarkets to help with nails/hair/skin! try them! that way you don't have to change your diet at all! - it's horrible having to eat things you don't want/don't like just for your health!


but check with your doctor if you are on any medication or have any health condition's! - taking vitamins like zinc can mess up your body's balance and cause fits/collapse/sickness in some cases! good luck!
I have been been taking Biotin for a little while and have noticed my nails getting much stronger. But it could also be that now that the weather is warmer, my nails are less brittle. I also put on a light coating of Vaseline before I go to sleep.
Oh my gosh!!! Whatever you do--Jello doesn't help. lol. People told me to eat Jello before my brother's wedding to help strengthen my nails. I ate a box a day and it did nothing!!! Maybe try some vitamins or nail treatments. Sally Hansen has good products. Good luck! :)
jello, it has something in it that helps nails grow, and stay strong
jello is good for nails
any green veggie and lots of them.! if you don't like them plain dip them in your favorite dressing.!
any fish
