10 Best Ways to Eliminate




  Ridges in Fingernails
Are Fingernail Ridges Driving
          You Crazy?
        If you're reading this, you're probably
        dealing with unsightly fingernail ridges
        and lines.

        Here's the good news...Most ridges are
        harmless, normal variations on nails. Now,
        the bad news...Some nail ridging may be a
        sign of more serious underlying medical
        problems.
So, What Are Fingernail Ridges?
Fingernail ridges also known as “reedy nails” are
raised lines on the nail surface also called the nail
plate. These lines can run horizontally or vertically
across the nail plate.


Most vertical ridges are commonplace and quite
normal. Horizontal ridges and depressions on the
nail plate can be associated with major medical
problems.
Banish Your Ridges in
                 10 Easy Steps
Drink More Water...
I know...it's boring advice.
Yet, increasing your fluid
intake with preferable water
can just about cure your nail
ridging concerns. After all,
the body is made up of at least 60% water. Water is
crucial for many metabolic processes in the body. Do your
nails a favor and drink up!
Take Your Vitamins...
                             Not getting enough micro and
                             macronutrients can destroy
                             your nails. For example, zinc
                             and iron deficiencies can cause
                             not only ridges in fingernails,
                             but concave spooning of the
                             nail plate.
Let's face it. Most of us do not get sufficient amounts of
nutrients in our diets. Adding nutritional supplements
helps to fill in the gaps in an otherwise lackluster diet.
Avoid Nail Injuries...
          It's pretty obvious that any serious injury
          to the nail plate or surrounding tissues
          will have a major impact on nail health.
That's why it is important to protect the nail from
injury. Wear gloves when appropriate. Never ignore
any signs or symptoms of nail infections, such as
drainage, redness, or swelling. If you want to solve
fingernail ridging, you must take care of your nails.
Stay Healthy...
A healthy lifestyle is your best
defense against fingernail ridges.
Exercise increases the amount
of blood circulation to the nails.
A diet rich in vitamins, minerals,
and protein provides necessary
ingredients for stunning nails. Relatively low stress
living also enhances nail appearance. So, stay calm
and eat well!
Banish Nail Biting
As a nurse, one my biggest
pet peeves is nail biting.
Not only is it a great way
to get sick. It's also an
excellent way to get fungal
infections. Fungal infections
can lead to nails that are brittle, cracked, and full of
ridges. Stop the biting habit.
Buff Your Nails...
    Nail buffing is one the most
    effective ways to remove
    superficial ridges on the
    surface of the nail. Buffing is
    the process of using a slightly
    abrasive tool to even out the
    nail plate. Used occasionally,
    buffing gives the appearance of
    smooth, glossy nails.
Axe Artificial Nails...
Hey, artificial nails are great to look at! But, they
can also wreck havoc on your natural nails and
create ridges in the nail plate. The same goes for
aggressive nail treatments, acetone based polish
removers, and keeping nail polish on way too long. If
you can, forgo fake fingernails and sport your own
nails proudly. Remove nail polish after a week or
two of use. Use non-acetone based products on your
nails.
Monitor Your Medications...
           Taking any new medications lately
           and noticing new ridges on your
           nails? If you're taking prescription
           medicines, you should be aware that
           some medications can cause ridges.
           Certain medicines create disruptions
           in the growth of the nail from the
           nail bed. Antibiotics and oral
           contraceptives are two common
           classes of medications that may
           bring about nail ridging.
Use Sun Protectant...

Did you know that too much sun exposure can ruin
your nails? Yes, some sunlight is great and enables
the body to make Vitamin D. However, ultraviolet
(UV) light breakdowns down protein bonds in the
nails which may lead to ridges in fingernails. It's wise
to use a nail top coat with UV protection or a topical
sunscreen or block to deflect harmful UV light.
Don't Age...
Just kidding! Okay. I
know there's not much
you can do about getting
older. But, the aging
process affects just about
every part of the body,
including the nails.
Aging causes a decrease in circulation to the nail. This creates
slower growth of the nail plate which leads to ridges. In
general, the elderly also tend to have more medical problems
that could cause nail ridging. Even though there is little you can
do to stop aging, you can grow old gracefully.

Eliminate Ridges in Fingernails Now!

  • 1. 10 Best Ways to Eliminate Ridges in Fingernails
  • 2. Are Fingernail Ridges Driving You Crazy? If you're reading this, you're probably dealing with unsightly fingernail ridges and lines. Here's the good news...Most ridges are harmless, normal variations on nails. Now, the bad news...Some nail ridging may be a sign of more serious underlying medical problems.
  • 3. So, What Are Fingernail Ridges? Fingernail ridges also known as “reedy nails” are raised lines on the nail surface also called the nail plate. These lines can run horizontally or vertically across the nail plate. Most vertical ridges are commonplace and quite normal. Horizontal ridges and depressions on the nail plate can be associated with major medical problems.
  • 4. Banish Your Ridges in 10 Easy Steps Drink More Water... I know...it's boring advice. Yet, increasing your fluid intake with preferable water can just about cure your nail ridging concerns. After all, the body is made up of at least 60% water. Water is crucial for many metabolic processes in the body. Do your nails a favor and drink up!
  • 5. Take Your Vitamins... Not getting enough micro and macronutrients can destroy your nails. For example, zinc and iron deficiencies can cause not only ridges in fingernails, but concave spooning of the nail plate. Let's face it. Most of us do not get sufficient amounts of nutrients in our diets. Adding nutritional supplements helps to fill in the gaps in an otherwise lackluster diet.
  • 6. Avoid Nail Injuries... It's pretty obvious that any serious injury to the nail plate or surrounding tissues will have a major impact on nail health.

  • 9. Buff Your Nails... Nail buffing is one the most effective ways to remove superficial ridges on the surface of the nail. Buffing is the process of using a slightly abrasive tool to even out the nail plate. Used occasionally, buffing gives the appearance of smooth, glossy nails.
  • 10. Axe Artificial Nails... Hey, artificial nails are great to look at! But, they can also wreck havoc on your natural nails and create ridges in the nail plate. The same goes for aggressive nail treatments, acetone based polish removers, and keeping nail polish on way too long. If you can, forgo fake fingernails and sport your own nails proudly. Remove nail polish after a week or two of use. Use non-acetone based products on your nails.
  • 11. Monitor Your Medications... Taking any new medications lately and noticing new ridges on your nails? If you're taking prescription medicines, you should be aware that some medications can cause ridges. Certain medicines create disruptions in the growth of the nail from the nail bed. Antibiotics and oral contraceptives are two common classes of medications that may bring about nail ridging.
  • 12. Use Sun Protectant... Did you know that too much sun exposure can ruin your nails? Yes, some sunlight is great and enables the body to make Vitamin D. However, ultraviolet (UV) light breakdowns down protein bonds in the nails which may lead to ridges in fingernails. It's wise to use a nail top coat with UV protection or a topical sunscreen or block to deflect harmful UV light.
  • 13. Don't Age... Just kidding! Okay. I know there's not much you can do about getting older. But, the aging process affects just about every part of the body, including the nails. Aging causes a decrease in circulation to the nail. This creates slower growth of the nail plate which leads to ridges. In general, the elderly also tend to have more medical problems that could cause nail ridging. Even though there is little you can do to stop aging, you can grow old gracefully.
