If you have grooves on your nails, it says something about your health.

Horizontal lines – the so-called Beau lines – should be observed closely . They usually indicate a temporary slowdown in nail growth, often linked to a significant event: high fever, significant stress, or a recovery period. In short, they mark a “pause” that the body experiences .
Visible defects in the nails
Are you eating on the go and forgetting vegetables or iron-rich foods? Your nails may suffer from the consequences . A lack of nutrients such as iron, zinc or biotin can weaken the nail matrix. The result: ridges, but also brittle, soft or uneven nails.
Consider including foods like lentils, eggs, nuts , and leafy greens in your meals. It's not a cure-all, but your nails (and hair!) will thank you.
The influence of age (and a little genetics)
Yes, over time our nails become less hydrated and their growth slows down. This is not inevitable, but a natural process . Genetics can also play a role : some people are simply born with nails that are more prone to pitting from a young age.
