Nails and hair

[ashirkey81 20]

Has anyone noticed that since they take Vitamins on a daily basis, their nails and hair on legs, arms, etc grow faster? My nails have even been harder and don't break so easily. I would like the leg hair to please fall out. I have to shave every day. I used to go a couple days in between.

It’s the Protein you’re consuming. If you were like me, I never ate close to 60g of protein a day before surgery. Now I often eat more than 60g. Plus, you’re generally eating a more nutrient dense diet than you did before.

The protein supplies your body with amino acids which are used to produce keratin which is part of the structure of nails & hair.

I used to have itchy skin on my legs & little bumps on my arms. No more lumps & no more itch thanks to the protein too.

The broader the variety of protein sources you eat the better the benefits. It’s wonderful. 🙂 Oh, and I don’t take any Vitamins or supplements.

PS - you could always try laser hair removal if frequent shaving gets too annoying.

I have itchy legs and bumpy skin. I never thought not eating enough protein was the cause. I blamed washing powders and soaps. Who knew. Every day is a learning day. Cheers
