Visible defects on the nails
Do you eat on the go and forget vegetables or iron-rich foods? Your nails can suffer the consequences . A deficiency in nutrients such as iron, zinc, or biotin can weaken the nail matrix. The result: ridges, as well as brittle, soft, or uneven nails.
Consider incorporating foods like lentils, eggs, nuts , and leafy greens into your meals. It’s not a cure-all, but your nails (and hair!) will thank you.
The influence of age (and a bit of genetics)
Yes, over time, our nails become less hydrated and their growth slows down. This isn’t inevitable, but rather a natural process . At the same time, genetics can also play a role : some people are simply born with nails that are more prone to ridges from a young age.
