Do you also want to get those perfectly manicured hands with neatly done nails? But your nails grow too slow to enjoy them. Let’s find out some of the potential reasons why your nails are not growing properly.
Our nails are made up of many layers of a hard protein called keratin. Our nails are considered windows for our health because they are directly affected by our health condition. If nails are growing slowly, then there can be several reasons. Usually, slow growth comes with age and young people have a faster growth rate than older ones but it can be a sign of an illness or nutritional deficiency too. Let’s list down some of the potential causes:
Improper diet:
A diet lacking in iron, zinc, and proteins can make your nails grow slower. Make sure you are eating a well-balanced diet and getting proper nutrition.
Underlying diseases:
Diseases like the heart, liver, lung, thyroid glands, etc., directly affect our nail condition and growth.
Nail-biting:
That’s a terrible habit that affects your nail appearance and growth.
Improper care:
Not taking proper care of your nails and not choosing the right products for your nails can also affect your nail health. If you are too much into nail paints, let them breathe once in a while. Choose the right way of nail filing and make wise choices for nail products.
