What causes nails to break easily?

Nails protect our fingers and toes, and their condition reflects our overall health. Frequent nail breakage or brittleness can result from various internal and external factors.

A common cause is a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamins A and E. Dehydration also weakens nails, making them prone to breakage.

External factors include exposure to chemicals, frequent washing in very hot or cold water, and prolonged moisture. Cheap, low-quality nail polishes can also cause damage.

Experts recommend maintaining a balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, wearing protective gloves, and using quality nail care products to keep nails strong and healthy.
