What to Eat to Reduce Nail Ridges: A Nutrition Guide for Healthier Nails

Nails are made primarily of keratin, a type of protein. If your diet lacks adequate protein, nails can become weak, thin, and more prone to ridging or splitting.

Add high-quality protein sources such as:

• Eggs
• Lean poultry
• Fish
• Greek yogurt
• Beans and lentils
• Tofu

Aim to include a source of protein at every meal. This helps support continuous keratin production and overall nail resilience.
