NAIL
Nails are composed mainly of a substance called keratin, which gives these, compactness and hardness. Because of a diet rich in fat and lacking in fruit and vegetables, or in the presence of hormonal problems, allergies and fungal infections, such protein could not be produced sufficiently or be changed. To keep our nails strong and healthy we eat foods containing substances essential to good health of keratin:
Silicon: it favors the robustness of the nails and is contained in cereals.
Sulfur: found in garlic and onion. Increases, such as silicon, the strength of nails.
Proteins: the proteins can be regarded as so many bricks you put them side by side, form the structure of the human body.
They serve to build, maintain and renew all tissues of the body (plastic function) involved in various biological reactions (catalytic function) and provide backup power (energy function) but only if consumed in excess or lack of lipid or carbohydrate ( example, in starvation). Some proteins have transport functions such as hemoglobin that transports oxygen to tissues, provide 4 kcal per gram. Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids. The body is not capable of producing 8 of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids are termed essential and must be entered with meals (valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, lysine). Food containers high biological value protein, also dishes such macaroni and beans, rice and lentils are capable of providing high biological value protein.
Molybdenum: Molybdenum is a trace mineral found in almost all tissues, plants and animals, but in very limited quantities in the field.

- Among the foods that contain it are meat, legumes, cereals and some dark green leafy vegetables.
- It is indispensable for the formation of keratin.
Zinc is an essential mineral found in our body part more or less the same amount of iron. It is present in the brain, pancreas and liver, but is also present in the nucleus of every cell. Zinc is involved in the activation of many enzymes in the beta chain of hemoglobin, the development of the gonads, in nerve function and memory. Your metabolism is altered in conditions of physical or psychological stress. The zinc is contained in meat, nuts, egg yolk, the mushrooms, in cocoa and oysters. Oats are also a source of zinc, but are rich in phytate, mineral absorption is decreased.
