However, before getting into these nail masks and home remedies, do not forget about having a good nutritional food routine that would aid nail growth and strength.

• You have to take iron-rich foods and vitamins for healthy nail growth. Meat, liver, dried fruits, and vegetables are rich in iron content.
• Vitamins like A, B, C are important for nail growth. Soybeans, whole grains, cauliflower, banana are rich in these vitamins.
• For brittle nails, you have to take foods rich in essential fatty acids such as fish, and flaxseeds.
• If your nails have white spots, it is because of zinc-deficiency. Take enough nuts, meat, and whole grains as they are good sources of zinc.
