If you want to maintain healthy nails you should first look at your diet. Your diet should include a lot of fruits and raw vegetables so that they get the required vitamins, minerals and enzymes. You should eat food rich in silicon like broccoli, fish and onions. Drink plenty of water and other fruit juices. Food rich in zinc and vitamin B will strengthen your nails. Fresh carrot juice rich in calcium and phosphorous is perfect for strengthening nails.

Also you should remember following things.

    * Lack of vitamin A and calcium in your body causes dryness and brittleness.
    * Lack of protein, folic acid and vitamin C causes hangnails.
    * White bands across the nails are a result of protein deficiency.
    * A lack of sufficient hydrochloric acid can cause splitting nails.
    * Lack of vitamin B12 can lead to dryness, very rounded and curved ends and darkening of nails.

Hi I'm Gwen.

If you need to keep your nails clean and short always cut your toe nails so that the edge makes a right angle with the exposed skin. This will help prevent painful in-grown nails with abscess formation.

Maintaining healthy nails is not a hard time consuming project. It requires minimum effort but it should be done from within. A balanced diet and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables is the first step to having healthy and beautiful nails. Food rich in silicon, zinc and prosperous are also essential for your nails to grow healthy and strong. In order to strengthen your nails you can have some fresh carrot juice every day.  Once you have those perfect nails then you can opt for a manicure and pedicure. But remember the secret to perfect nails is that you refrain from biting them off at all costs.

I always like to keep long nails on hands but very hard to maintain them. They break very easily. So I soaked them in olive oil for about 20 minutes in every alternate days. It works quite well on my nails.
