My nails are breaking, how can I strengthen them?

Why are my nails breaking? We've all asked ourselves this question before. Sometimes it's the insignificant everyday gestures that do us more harm than good. Sometimes it will be fatigue that will reflect on your hands, iron, zinc and even calcium deficiency will make your brittle nails. And other times it will just be about your way of being, your habits. Biting them, tapping a table, scraping off the old varnish... A day of doing household chores and your hands will behave like sponges, absorbing water and detergents, which will leave your soft nails and fragile. These are all gestures that damage your nails. But then, how do you strengthen your nails on a daily basis?

Strengthen your nails from the inside

In the same way that we put a bandage on a wound, we will first seek to heal our nails from the outside. We're going to apply a repairing cream to them, dip them in a nourishing oil... What if the solution was also inside?

Silicon, minerals, vitamin B8 (or biotin), are all fundamental elements of our body. For example, in order to improve the condition of the skin or to combat hair loss, biotin contributes to nail care by making them thicker and therefore less brittle.

A varied diet is often enough to have the right dose of these essential constituents. But sometimes this is not the case and deficiencies can set in. We notice it by the fact of losing more hair than usual, but also by more fragile, softer, striated nails... To correct these worries, it is possible to adjust your meals with ingredients rich in these different elements. For example, you can introduce more egg yolks, legumes (peas, beans, lentils, etc.), offal, nuts and seeds, etc. Strengthening your nails while pleasing your taste buds, isn't that great?

But if you don't have time to cook good meals, don't panic, there is a simpler and faster method. Indeed, it is also possible to make a cure with the help of food supplements. It is a remedy that you can start whenever you want and so find strong and healthy nails.

Let go of prejudices and harness the power of plants. Herbal teas aren't just for your great aunt! Their benefits are not limited to sleep, either. Because infusion is the oldest way, and probably one of the most effective, to extract the active ingredients from plants. 

And plants have many benefits for the body. L’infusion scratch ALL TIGERS for example could well become one of your essentials. Because in addition to having a taste to die for, both subtle and spicy, it is good for your body.

But it does not stop there, if you are afraid of lacking vitality by drinking herbal tea for breakfast, trust its spices. Ginger, turmeric and pink and black pepper will bring you the energy of a tiger every morning.

So whether it's part of your morning routine, take the time to enjoy your hot drink. Take this habit every day, or only for a cure. Nothing better than a natural infusion to do good to the morale, but also in the whole body.
