What Your Nails Say About Your Health
Brittle or weak nails can signal more than cosmetic issues—they often reflect your overall health. Common causes include:
-
Nutrient Deficiencies: Low biotin, iron, or protein can weaken nails.
-
Dehydration: Not drinking enough water affects nail strength.
-
Environmental Damage: Harsh chemicals and cold weather can dry and damage nails.
-
Health Conditions: Issues like thyroid disorders, psoriasis, or fungal infections may show in your nails.
-
Physical Stress & Age: Using nails as tools or natural aging can cause brittleness.
Paying attention to nail changes and maintaining good nutrition, hydration, and care can support both nail and overall health. Consult a doctor if problems persist.
