“Weak, brittle nails can be an indicator that something internally needs targeted attention, as what’s going on internally manifests externally and usually affects how our nails, hair and skin look, feel and behave,” explains Shand. “The great news is you can naturally support the health of your nails by nourishing your body with an abundance of nutrient-dense whole foods, eating protein with each meal and not underestimating the importance of good fats in your diet,” she adds. “Weak nails are usually associated with a deficiency in B vitamins, iron, calcium and fatty acids, so ensuring you regularly include plenty of rich sources such as oily fish including wild salmon, eggs and (especially fermented) dairy in your diet is a great place to start.
