A perfect manicure is something that adds more elegance to a flawless look. There are many who treat themselves to a professional mani-pedi at a salon. But sometimes weak and brittle nails can make it difficult for one to maintain them. According to a report by Indian Express, Dr. Shraddha Deshpande, a reconstructive and aesthetic surgeon at Wockhardt Hospitals, revealed that a lack of zinc, iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamins, and other micronutrients can result in nail deformities. Along with brittle nails, there’s also a high chance of discolouration that can make them sometimes make them appear not pleasing to the eyes.

Whole grains, fruits including strawberries, guava, green leafy vegetables, protein sources including eggs and lean meats, nuts like almonds, and sunflower seeds are deemed efficient to improve healthy nails.
