Ways to Get Long Healthy Nails

Strengthen your nails from inside by taking supplements of biotin vitamin B4. This vitamin is usually used to improve the strength of horse hooves which are formed of the same stuff as human nails–keratin.

 

Add to intake of zinc. There is no need to take zinc supplements for this purpose; just increase the intake of zinc rich snacks such as hard-boiled egg and milk to make your nails as well as entire body healthier and stronger.

 

Buff your nails on daily basis or at least massage them regularly. If you have a nail buffer, briskly rub it backward and forward on the smooth surface of your fingernails. This improves blood flow to the nail bed and promotes growth.

 

Massage your nails with a little olive oil regularly before bedtime. This will moisturize your nails which is a must for healthy nails, especially during the winter, when nails are more susceptible to breakage. Olive oil massage will enhance the suppleness of the nails and thus prevent cracking and breaking.
