What will happend to our hair and fingernails when we have not enough protein?
Since nails are mainly made up of protein, they can immediately alert us to a lack of it in our diet. Lack of protein can cause change in the color, shape and texture of the nail. Also since hair is protein, a diet that is too low in protein may cause some thinning in hair or a retardation in the growth cycle. The converse is true, If you eat a protein-rich diet it will often result in improved hair growth. Some good sources of protein are fish, eggs, beans and yogurt. Live healthy. Take care.
