  • Always tone down your nails by copping them off with a standard nail-cutter. Growing longer nails will result in bacteria or other stuff growing under your nail.
  • You can get rid of the white spots on your nails by eating food rich in zinc like chocolate, beef, peanuts, etc.
  • Foods like eggs, peas and beans are a rich source of vitamin H, which is essential to keep your nails in good shape.
  • Toe-nails are most prone to injuries and breakdowns, also the most neglected ones. Walking barefoot on a dirty floor, wearing dirty socks, shoes or sandals, or wearing tight footwear can all lead to toe issues and should be avoided.
