Having striped nails: what your body might be trying to tell you

🩸 Nails with ridges and fragility

Nails that, in addition to having ridges, break easily or peel , may reflect a lack of collagen or poor peripheral circulation .

👉 Common causes:

• Diets low in protein or vitamins.

• Dehydration or excessive use of chemicals (nail polish remover, detergents, gels).

• Hypothyroidism or anemia.

💡 Natural tips to strengthen them:

1. Apply warm olive oil with a little lemon every night.

2. Consume natural gelatin, collagen, or foods rich in protein .

3. Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning.

4. Drink enough water (at least 1.5 liters a day).
