A member asked:

My nails are weak and are easily broken.. what should i eat or do to make them strong??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Brittle nails: Are often caused by vitamin deficiency. Usually this is one of the B vitamins. Eat a varied diet of plant based foods, and avoid processed flour, sugar, and oils. It will take several months, but your Natalia should regain their previous health. Hope this helps!
