Nail Breakage....help!

here's more from http://skincare.lovetoknow.com/What_...rnail_Problems

Clearly, what is going on with your fingernails at any given time can sometimes be indicative of problems occurring elsewhere in the body. Concerns about the kidneys, heart, liver and skin may all be raised as a result of fingernail problems. Other maladies to watch out for include vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, malnutrition and, in some cases, silver or arsenic poisoning.

While little can be done in terms of nail care to prevent problems occurring elsewhere in the body, it is always helpful to adopt a healthy regimen that will benefit your nails and your overall health:

•Take a daily multivitamin
•Add a B-complex supplement to your regimen (many nail problems are related to vitamin B deficiencies)
•Up your protein intake (both nails and hair are made of protein)
•Indulge in fatty acids (good sources include nuts, vegetables, eggs, whole milk and flaxseed oil supplements)
Finally, if your nails are in poor condition but aren't related to any greater health problem, adopt a regimen that treats your nails well:

•Keep fingernails short to avoid unnecessary breakage and tears
•Apply vitamin E oil to the nail plate regularly to encourage moisture
•Wash hands with a moisturizing, antibacterial soap regularly
•Use a fragrance-free hand cream to eliminate the potential of allergic reactions

Thank you very much indeed. I appreciate it.
My nails are in poor condition but aren't related to any greater health problems, i am doing the regular regimen for nail enhancement.
This is the first time i encounter such problem with my nails. I never had this before. It means the weather has something to do with it or the brands i'm using here but not the diet for i am conscious abt it and take multi vitamins regularly as well.

I hope it will improve after a week.

Cheers!

Hi estherboaz, i saw the link you have given here. The picture of the fingernail is really in bad condition.

I don't have that!. I only have the splits at the ends.

Try to get a food supplement for nails to help strengthen your nails.

Thanks Potpot143. I'm using the strong nails now with vitamins plus soy protein. I will see the results after a week or so.
