I would like to improve the condition of my nails and hair. Is there a special diet to achieve this?

A balanced diet can always improve overall health, including hair and nails. Biotin—found in eggs, soy, liver, milk and whole grains—is said to be helpful to keratin production. Vitamin A—found in liver, deep orange and green vegetables—and essential fatty acids—found in fish, nuts and seeds—keep nails shiny and flexible. Calcium—found in dairy foods and soy—B vitamins—found in a variety of foods from meat, fish, eggs and cereals—help maintain nail strength.
