Why It Happens
Brittle nails after exercise may reflect post-workout stress, hydration loss, or underlying nutrient depletion. While exercise is beneficial, overtraining or improper recovery can impair nail health.
Dehydration: Loss of fluids and electrolytes can dry out nails and cuticles.
Increased Oxidative Stress: Intense workouts generate free radicals that may affect keratin structures.
Micronutrient Loss: Sweating depletes minerals like zinc and magnesium needed for nail strength.
High Cortisol: Overtraining elevates cortisol, which may reduce collagen synthesis.
Protein Deficiency: Inadequate recovery meals may leave nails lacking keratin support.
How to Manage
Hydrate Properly: Replenish fluids and electrolytes before and after exercise.
Fuel with Recovery Nutrition: Include protein, healthy fats, and key minerals post-workout.
Support Antioxidant Intake: Add berries, leafy greens, and vitamin C to reduce oxidative stress.
Monitor Workout Volume: Avoid overtraining and prioritize rest days.
Get a Nutrient Panel: Test zinc, magnesium, and iron if symptoms persist.
Balancing exercise with recovery promotes stronger nails and overall resilience.
