HEALTHY NAILS
Anatomy of Healthy Nails Nails grow from the area at the base of the nail under your cuticle.  Healthy nails are smooth and free of spots or discoloration.
Ways to Keep Nails Healthy and Strong
i. Nutritional Steps to Healthy Nails Eat a diet  composed of  50% fruit and raw vegetables  in order to supply  necessary vitamins,  minerals and enzymes.
i. Nutritional Steps to Healthy Nails Protein Eggs Chicken Wings Soybean Products
i. Nutritional Steps to Healthy Nails Vitamins Strawberries / Kiwi Fruit / Oranges Grapefruit
i. Nutritional Steps to Healthy Nails Minerals Liver and Tuna Seaweed Seafood (Sardines and Oysters)
i. Nutritional Steps to Healthy Nails Water
ii. Do’s and Don’ts with Solvents Household Solvents Water
Wear hand gloves
Solvents Solvents will have a drying effect,  although the effects are only temporary.  Repeated and prolonged contact with these solvents can have a lasting effect on the nail plate,  or result in irritant or allergic contact dermatitis  from overexposure.  Remove the 'allergen/irritant',  and the symptoms will disappear.
iii. Nail Care Tips Daily
Daily Wash regularly your nails,  especially after doing outdoor activities.
Daily Apply  hand cream (for fingernails) or foot cream (for toenails) as often as you can,  e.g. after washing your hands/feet  or taking a bath.
Fungus can enter through cracked skin. To prevent skin from cracking  use a good moisturizer.  But do NOT use it in between your toes as they breed fungus easily. Daily				 for toenails
Daily				 for toenails Avoid walking  on your bare feet  as this can encourage bacteria growth as well as causing your heels to become hard and start cracking.
 	While choosing shoes and boots  for outdoor activities, buy those that will easily allow circulation of blood  to the toes.  Daily				 for toenails
Daily				 for toenails  	If you have sweaty feet, ensure that you use antifungal powder  while working outside for long periods of time. This will prevent nail fungus infection.

Nail Condition and Nutritional Causes
Nail Condition and Potential Causes
Nail Condition and Potential Causes
Buffing your nails
Trimming and Shaping Nails Start filing the free edge in one direction only, keeping the emery board at a 45 degree angle. Emery Board  (or Nail File) and Dust Brush Metal File (it can damage the nail)
Softening Cuticles Push up the cuticle in a circular motion using the corner of the cotton stick with light pressure.  The circular movements will prevent damage to the skin. DO THIS FIRST: Apply cuticle remover and  soak fingers in a soapy lukewarm water for 5 min Cotton Stick or Orange Stick
Applying Nail Polish Apply thin coat of nail polish,  let it dry and then apply another coat.  Starting at the base of the nail and applying polish  in an upward motion helps you evenly coat your nail.  Bottles of Nail Polish
Love your nails!  Thank you. By AbegailSoñas
