Ridged fingernails

Hi Shelley

Your forum is booming! You are very helpful to many which is why I was wondering if you could help me. I have ridged nails you see. They are horrible, my thumbs mostly. They are vertical ridges going from the cuticle to the tip.

Ok yes, I admit it! I've had a very poor diet most of my life, I'm 26 now. But a few months ago I decided to become vegetarian, even though I don't like vegetables, and start to eating healthier. So I am. I'm forcing down my veggies and fruit and drinking lots more water. I feel pretty good so far and my face is starting to clear up. Yay! I also recently, a little over a year and a half ago, started to get pretty bad Acne which is why I opted for a change in diet and so on.

Anyway, if I continue to eat well and take care of myself will my nails go back to normal? Is there something I can do to help them along?

Thanks so much for you time and advice. Tweet
