The real causes of vertical ridges on the nails. Nails are made out of hardened skin cells, and a material that we call keratin. Unfortunately if there is a deficiency in certain nutrients in the body, because you aren't eating the right foods, you're under stress or you have a digestive problem, the nails begin to change in shape and appearance, forming vertical ridges. In this video we explore the 6 main underlying causes of vertical ridges on the fingernails, and why this happens, including Vitamin B12/Iron Deficiency, plant based diets, digestive problems, thyroid problems, high cortisol or nail biting (physically injuring the nail bed). We also explore some very simple ways to fix these problems using natural remedies, lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements.
