Essential Vitamins & Minerals For Healthy Nails
Last week we started our healthy nails series by giving examples of nail problems and what they indicate about overall health.
Today we will discuss some of the vitamins & minerals that are essential to healthy nails. The best way to get the proper nutrients is to eat a well-balanced, natural diet with lots of fruits & veggies while avoiding over-processed foods.
It’s not just about your nails, these vitamins & minerals are important for the whole body.
In the coming weeks we will visit each of these nutrients in greater detail. We’ll tell you what each one of them does & give you both plant & animal sources so you can keep them in your diet.

Eating For Healthy Nails
Most of the nutrients above can be ingested through your food & we can’t think of a better way to keep your nails healthy than eating. We’ve also been researching recipes (yum) that will help you get as many of the vitamins above as possible. There is a long list of them, so we separated them into three categories, those for meat eaters, those for vegetarians & those for vegans.
