The foods we consume play a big part in how healthy our nails, as well as our hair, looks.

1. If your desire is to be as feminine as possible, you'll need to have healthy nails as this is one physical aspect of projecting yourself as a lady. Healthy nails show confidence in oneself and a healthy attitude.

2. Let's begin with the basic food groups. Dairy products ,seafood, vegetables, fruit: Any one of these or all of them included in our daily diet will effectively benefit our nails

3. Calcium is the nutrient we seek. Try dairy products, fish, egg yolk, milk, cheese, and any number of fresh fish supply us with calcium, a significant vitamin in the growth and maintenance of a healthy nail bed.

4. Iodine is also important. It is often found in shellfish. However, they contain high levels of cholesterol, so go easy on them.
5. Iron: Foods high in this very important mineral are apricots, spinach, grapes, and green vegetables.

6. Vitamin A--watercress, dandelion, carrots, tomatoes, apricots, melons, and wheat germ.
   Vitamin B-complex--wheat germ, liver, cabbage, celery, and fish. (Stop crying that they're all the foods you hate. Be a big girl and get your vitamin B!)
   Vitamin C--tomatoes, lemons, oranges, grapefruit, cabbage
   Vitamin D--fish, liver, and mushrooms.
