Do you want to strengthen your nails? Remember a few rules

Nails grow at an average rate of 2 mm per month on feet and 1 mm per week on hands, influenced by diet rich in zinc and biotin. Issues like brittleness, splitting, yellowing, or ingrown nails can arise from external factors such as frequent water exposure and chemicals, as well as internal factors like nutrient deficiencies and infections. Protective measures include wearing gloves during household chores and proper nail care. Symptoms like Beau's lines indicate interrupted growth due to infections, while thick, yellowed nails may suggest fungal infections. Dark streaks could signal melanoma, a serious condition. Maintaining a balanced diet and proper nail hygiene is essential for nail health.
