No. 7 – Eat Powerful Peas

No. 8 – Snack on Suggestive Sunflower Seeds

These nutty tasting items are a good source of Vitamin E, zinc, and iron. All three of these vitamins are necessary for nail health so adding them to your salads and casseroles gives you a neat solution to nail problems.
 

No. 9 – Bite on Brawny Beans

Beans are cheap and they are versatile. The best thing about beans is that they contain biotin, zinc and iron. These things are part of your nail health diet plan and you can get all of them in the bean. What’s more, beans are packed with protein, the main nutrient necessary to promote nail growth.
 

No. 10 – Eat Evocative Eggs

The egg is a cheap tasty source of protein. Bodybuilders choose to eat lots of eggs because they are considered the ‘gold standard’ for protein quality. Boil ‘em, fry ‘em, poach ‘em, or scramble ‘em. They are not only loaded with protein, they are good sources of Vitamin B12, Vitamin E, and iron, too.
   

No. 11 – Swallow Savory Salmon

Salmon is a beauty food that allows for soft, smooth skin and promotes strong nails. Salmon is loaded with Vitamin B12, protein, and Vitamin E. Adding salmon to your diet will greatly improve the appearance of your nails.
 

No. 12 – Open Wide for Onions

This vegetable is high in sulfur and silicon so adding them to your foods is a great diet strategy. If you increase your onion intake, you will have healthy nails in no time.


No. 13 – Crunch on Carrots

Beta-carotene is an essential element that is necessary for Vitamin A synthesis, which helps form hair and nails. Carrots are loaded in beta-carotene and are a great nail food. Also, eat yellow squash and apricots to boost this element in your diet.
   

No. 14 – Chow on Cheese

You can’t get enough calcium in your diet. Not only does it aid bone growth, it helps nails stay strong and long. Other calcium-rich foods include milk and yogurt, so chow down on the dairy products and add cheese to your other foods.
