Have you always had beautiful long healthy fingernails? Or are you among those whose nails always seem to be breaking, chipping or splitting? Your diet or your overall health may be the reason.

Our body produces fingernails. They are a fibrous protein called keratin and one of the body’s strongest tissues. Like the rest of the body, nail health depends on getting the proper nutrients to maintain their natural color and shape.

REVIEW: The White Stripes, White Blood Cells

The White Stripes third release is reviewed.
The White Stripes’ third LP White Blood Cells (Sympathy For the Record Industry) consolidates their preeminence as a band that shakes your ass. Happily free of any pretense of self-pity or melancholy, the White Stripes write nasty songs, blistering numbers, bizarre little ditties, and postmodern country melodrama. This album is a far more crisply produced affair than the two before it. The basic formula remains intact: Meg White plays drums, Jack White sings and plays guitar, the album is largely red and white, and the songs are propulsive and punchy, bluesy throughout and country inflected in places.
