Top 3 Things to Strengthen Your Nails!

DARE TO BARE

1. Diet

Your nail health is a function of your diet. It is an extremity, located farthest away from your essential organs. As a survival mechanism, the human body will allocate nutrients to all other parts of the body before your hair and nails to survive harsh weather conditions and famished times. Eating a variety of whole plant based foods will create optimal nutrition for all parts of the body including the nails.

2. Biotin

Biotin has a significant amount of silicon in the supplement, which create stronger and less brittle nails and hair. Silicon (Silica dioxide) is a main component in collagen production. It is a great option as a supplement to work alongside a healthy diet. We all aren't perfect without nutrient intake, but this can be an easy way to compensate.

3. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is vastly diverse in nutrients and can be used topically to strengthen cuticles and to prevent fungal infections, and ingrown nails. It is an effective moisturizer and will help strengthen the nails by reducing protein loss.
