Benefits Of Lemon
We all know that lemon is a citric fruit and is a great source of vitamin C. Vitamin C helps in strengthening weak nails. Also, lemon is a natural bleaching agent that can also help you in getting rid of yellow nails, thus helping in whitening the nails naturally.
Nails become strong when there is adequate amount of collagen content. Lemon can do a good job of maintaining an adequate level of collagen content.

Some Tips
1. Most of us have the habit of simply biting the nails. But I am sure that you're not aware of the consequences of that. If you are one among them, then make sure that you stop this habit of yours immediately.
2. Sometimes, even using too much of nail polish and repeatedly changing the colours would lead to yellow and weak nails. Once in a while allow your nails to breathe and go colourless.
3. In order for your nails to be strong, it's important that you keep the nails hydrated and moisturised. Apart from applying nail creams, intake of water should also be practiced. Make sure that you drink a minimum of 6-8 glasses of water every day.
4. Sometimes, leaving your nails dirty can also lead to weak and yellow nails. Make sure that you keep the nails clean and neat.
