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!!!
