The strength and appearance of someone's nails can reflect overall good health. However, overusing certain products, poor nutrition, and common lifestyle choices can directly affect the health and vitality of nails. To properly care for your nails, you can utilize tips to strengthen and maintain their health.

1- Proper Nutrition

A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients, including minerals and vitamins, can address a variety of health issues, including keeping someone's nails strong.
The best way to supplement proper nutrition is through diet, increasing intake of leafy greens and fruits to supplement various minerals and vitamins. However, if someone doesn't consume enough minerals and vitamins through their diet, they may consider supplementing synthetic vitamins. However, when using any type of supplement, it's advisable to consult a doctor beforehand to ensure they won't interact with existing medications.

2- Biotin Supplementation

Biotin (vitamin H) is an essential vitamin that helps maintain the health of the nervous system, hair, and nail care. Biotin is a naturally occurring B vitamin in foods such as beans, salmon, and eggs.
However, biotin is water-soluble, so it's not stored in the body. Therefore, someone needs to supplement biotin through their diet or regular supplements.

3- Drink Plenty of Water

When someone's nails aren't provided with enough fluid, their nails can become brittle and prone to breaking. To provide enough water, you need to drink enough from 1500ml to 2000ml per day.
To provide enough water, you should carry water with you when going out for long periods, avoid using alcohol and sweetened water...

4- Avoid Gel Nails

Regular use of gel can damage someone's nails, causing them to peel. UV rays that people use to dry polish also pose potential health risks. In addition, nail polish removal can also make nails thinner and weaker. So to help nails strong and healthy, avoid using nail polish.

5- Avoid Some Nail Products

Many nail products can also cause damage. Nail polish removers and other nail treatments may contain chemicals that make nails brittle.
Make sure the products don't contain harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, before applying them to your nails as a good way to care for your nails.

6- Avoid Using Nails as Tools

The role of nails is to protect the soft skin underneath them. Using them as tools to complete tasks should be minimized to protect nails. Not using nails as tools can help prevent injury and improve the strength of nails.

7- Keep Nails Short

Shorter nails are less prone to damage. When someone has long nails, there is a high possibility that their nails will break, splinter, crack, or get caught in something and split, causing painful nail beds.
Trimming nails can help prevent breakage due to accidents and maintain their strength.

8- Use Hand Cream Regularly

Using hand cream can help keep moisture in nails. Someone should apply hand cream after washing their hands or after removing nail polish to help restore moisture to nails.

9- Avoid Using Too Much Hand Sanitizer

People often use hand sanitizers as a substitute for hand washing or when unable to wash their hands. However, hand sanitizers often contain alcohol that can dehydrate the skin and nails, so frequent use of hand sanitizers can make nails brittle and prone to breaking.
If using hand sanitizer is the only option, someone should avoid letting it stick to their nails and only use a small amount.

10- Wear Gloves When Using Cleaning Products

Cleaning products often contain chemicals that affect the skin and nails. While someone may not notice any issues with their skin or nails when using cleaning products, they can cause damage to one or both.
Try wearing gloves when handling any cleaning products to avoid potential damage.

11- Avoid Excessive Water Exposure

Prolonged exposure to water can soften someone's nails, meaning they can become more brittle.
Ways to reduce water exposure include keeping hands dry when bathing and wearing gloves when doing dishes.

12- Consume Adequate Protein

Protein is essential for healthy nails. If someone lacks protein, their nails will not grow healthy. Someone can increase their protein intake by including it in their diet. Foods high in protein include lean meat, fish, eggs, and beans are all excellent sources of protein.

13- Be Mindful of Certain Medications

Some medications, especially diuretics, can dehydrate someone's nails. If you notice weakened nails, talk to your doctor about the possibility of changing medications to avoid side effects if possible.
If your nails are experiencing problems and you've tried many measures without improvement, you should see a dermatologist to evaluate your nails, personal health history, and suggest the best treatment or solution. Also, always pay attention to nail care regularly to keep your nails healthy.
