Nails are made out of hardened skin cells, and a material that we call keratin. Unfortunately if there is a deficiency in certain nutrients in the body, because you aren't eating the right foods, you're under stress or you have a digestive problem, the nails begin to change in shape and appearance, forming vertical ridges.
we explore the 6 main underlying causes of vertical ridges on the fingernails:
1. Anemia (Iron & B12)
2. Plant Based Diet
3. Digestive Problems
4. Thyroid Problems
5. High Cortisol
6. Nail Biting
