How To Cure Ridges In Your Finger Nails

July 4, 2009


Your nails are symbolic of your health and your social status. The healthier your nails the better your overall health is. If your nails are covered with unsightly ridges then not only are they not attractive but they are also a sign of poor health. You must protect your nails and eat a diet that compliments the growth and health of your nails.

If you are indulging in laborious work like construction or gardening and when you are doing household chores that require your hands to be in water for long periods of time you must wear glove to protect your hands and your nails. Protecting the nails will help you to prevent damage to them.

Sometimes the only way to cure the nails is to wait for them to grow out and then cut them accordingly. When you are in the process of growing them out then you must wear protective nail polish or a base coat to strengthen the nails base. This helps to prevent chipping and nails from breaking. Instead of using a protective base you can also buff your nails with an emery board.

When you are buffing your nails you must stroke the nails only in one direction and avoid stroking in the back and forth direction. If your nails start chipping or your nails begin to crack then you must avoid breaking them. You must cut them accordingly and shape them so that they do not interfere with your daily chores.

Before you go to bed at night you must use a moisturizing lotion to protect your nail bed. Also wearing gloves after applying the lotion will help to strengthen and to make the nails healthy. You must also soak your nails in lemon juice once a week for 10 minutes. Do not overdo any nail treatments as too many products and treatments can lead to the nails becoming brittle and weaker. Do not expose your nails to water for long periods of time.

Your diet must consist of fresh fruits and vegetables that are high in water content and are rich in iron, zinc and vitamin B. This helps to improve the ridges on your nails. The best way to improve the texture and health of your nails is to improve your diet.
