Nails are composed mainly of keratin - protein, which can also be found in the structure of our hair and skin. They can be a good proof that we pay attention to detail, have a great sense of style and courage to experiment with color patterns. But that's not all we can read from them - they are often a sign that something is missing in our body.

1 Poor, dull and splitting nails
In addition to the some beauty treatments which can lead to poor nails with a tendency to be blistered, there are other reasons for the way they look. Often the cause is lack of vitamin A, C or biotin. You should eat healthy sources of these three vitamins everyday and if it’s needed buy some vitamins supplements.
​

2 Yellow nails
In addition to smoking and fungal infection this colour may be caused by side effects of certain medications. Sometimes, they may also indicate more serious diseases associated with thyroid malfunction or diabetes. If you do not smoke cigarettes, and have noticed a change in the color of your nails towards yellow you should immediately contact your doctor.

3 White spots
The reason is the lack of minerals, mainly zinc and calcium. Try to eat more products rich in these minerals.

4 Blade nails
They are often a symptom of anemia, malnutrition or liver disease. Follow the blood tests that will determine the exact cause, and then use the appropriate dietotherapy.

5 Bluish nails
They are usually caused by hypoxia. It occurs due to malfunctioning of lung or heart disease.

If you want beautiful, long nails remember to eat a healthy balanced diet. You should make sure that you eat proper amount of protein, unsaturated fatty acids, fruits and vegetables. Particularly important are the natural sources of biotin such as egg yolks, sardines, cauliflower, almonds, pecan nuts, carrots. Calcium is also essential for healthy looking nails you can find it in cheese, yogurt or green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale.
Avoid processed foods, sweetened and saturated fatty acids.​

A few steps to healthier You… 
1. Eat what Your body need not your mind
We always crave for something maybe because we are sad, feel miserable or just bored. We neglect what our true nature says to us. To stop this we should first ask : Is it healthy for us?, are we really hungry? Is it nurtured us? Take a one deep breath and answer these questions before You start to eat.
2. Choose good quality products
Sometimes prices scare us but the truth is we shouldn’t save money choosing poor quality products. Is not the rule that the higher price the better product but in vast majority it’s reality.
But if we don’t pay attention to this we will have to pay doctors to cure us in the future. Good balanced diet make us really happy, healthy and strong.
3. Celebrate your meals
Don’t eat in rush. Prepare yourself for food. Do some quick meditation before you start to eat. Invite people who You really like, put some flowers on the table, make a special decoration.
Taste every bite of your food and feel it in every cell of your body. Food can heal You. Treat food like a big pleasure not an unpleasant duty.
4. Be grateful for what you’ve got
Appreciation makes us happy because we realize what we have got. It’s wonderful when we make out that we have a wonderful husband, happy and healthy child, loving mother, faithful dog or a loyal friend. We are pretty lucky because we are here on this planet, we should feel ecstatic looking at smiling person next to us, cloudless sky or just mirror.

Yes, life is a beautiful miracle…
Feel it and explore it…​
