GROWING NAILS

A well known fact, nails grow slowly, add to this the slow rate, splitting, breaking, chipping, poor nail care and poor diet and you can imagine how long it will take to grow long and beautiful nails! The most important factor contributing to the growth of nails is a healthy diet with a good supply of calcium. Understanding the growth of nails requires understanding the nail structure.

Along with this it is very important to pay attention to the diet that you take. If you want faster growing nails, be sure that your diet is rich in vitamins A, B-Complex, C, D, E and iron, calcium, zinc, sulfur and fatty acids. Adding a dietary supplement will provide important nutrients that help promote healthy, stronger nails.
Frequent manicures involving massages help stimulate growth, also pushing your cuticles gently can stimulate new growth but never cut them as it can result in the nail to all off and die.
