Why are my nails soft and bendy?

[Anonymous]

I don't understand. Iv been trying to loose some weight in a very healthy way this time. Now that I have my acne had reduced and my skin is no longer pale and I don't feel weak or tired of starvation..
in my diet is rich of iron foods and good dairy and high minerals of fruit etc etc including my vitamins supplements...

my nails are noy brittle or peeling off they are just soft... Not sure if it cause I shower oftenly of cold water or cause of the extra moisture of the high humidity in my regeon plus I wear a lot of moisturizer creams aswell...

Are you eating enough calcium? I used to wear a lot of nail varnish, that would make my nails go soft, i would often need to give them 'time off' to breath.

Yes I am as I mention in my post I eat healthy very healthy

you're low on calcium and potassium.
I recommend you to take supplements for calcium. And eat bananas.

I already do eat them

You might want to check your labs, specifically your hormones and thyroid levels. My nails used to get really brittle when my thyroid was acting up

[Asker]

I'm sure its not thyroid...

I would still get your labs checked if it's not that could be some mineral deficiency. but since you're a doctor you already know it's not that too huh? LMFAO
