this is really strange....I Have only been able to grow long finger nails when I was pregnant, now, since I've been eating really healthy, I've noticed a huge change in my nail growth? Could it be related to a healthy diet?

  • If you are eatting a lot of protein then yes. Protein helps hair and nail growth and usually helps your skin also.

    Absolutely! Your body makes tissue out of whatever fuel you give it, so when the quality of the fuel goes up, so does the quality of the tissue. You are probably getting a combination of better protein and better fats. And think about it for a second - now that you're eating better, you're noticing physical changes like your nails, but you're probably feeling better, too. When I changed my eating habits I noticed had more energy and just felt better in general.
  • My nails were always brittle and my hair was weak and broke so easily. When I started eating healthier my nails and hair also got healthier. Its just another perk of adopting a healthier life style.
