Dry, brittle Nails to Strong, Healthy Nails

For the past two years, I have had dry and brittle nails.  Not sure how or why it started;  I just assumed it was because of my thyroid.   My doctor had suggested years before that I could start taking thyroid medication, but I decided not to, since it was a little low.   Well, years later, my thyroid had become very low, and thus thyroid medication became a must.  After a year of taking thyroid medication, my nails still remained dry and brittle.  My whole life, I've had strong and healthy nails.  When my nails became so brittle that I could literally peel them off, it really affected me emotionally!

Now, just last week I visited the L'oreal Paris Canada Nail Bar in front of TIFF.   The girl who was doing my nails, made a comment that really surprised me.  She said, "Wow, your nails are strong!".   I was floored.  She couldn't have possible be talking about my nails.  I looked at my nails.   OMG.   When did this happen!?   It had been a while, since I had my nails last done.

This got me thinking.  What have I done differently.    I know its not my thyroid medication.   What else changed -  I started eating yogurt again!   I have one almost every day, and its only been a few weeks!    I try to buy yogurt with Probiotics, but now I'm transferring to homemade yogurt with Almond milk.  I decided to look it up to verify my theory.    I found several sites which proved my theory correct, including Food for Healthy Nails.

I am soo much happier that my nails are healthy again and that I started to eat yogurt again!!  If you have dry and brittle nails, try it and see if it works for you too!!!
