Avoid White
Spots on Nails
Excessive pressure while manicuring or a heavy blow to your nail can cause white spots to appear. Additionally, inadequate levels of zinc or calcium in your diet can also cause the formation of those pesky spots. Avoid white spots on your nails by following these simple steps. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Improve your diet with plenty of calcium and zinc-rich foods. For people aged 16 years and over, the recommended daily intake of calcium is 800mg, and the recommended daily intake of zinc is 12 to 16mg. Women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or post-menopausal need 1000 to 1200mg of calcium each day.
2. Be gentle when manicuring your nails, especially around the cuticle area. White spots can be caused by heavy prodding and poking beneath the cuticles.
3. Be gentle with your nails. Protect your hands with gloves when gardening or doing house work or any other kind of labor, and don't use your nails to do things like remove staples from paper or open a soda can.
