#5 Sign: Your nails are brittle

Did you know that 27 percent of women have brittle nails (onychoschizia)? Onychoschizia can appear due to many health conditions such as hypothyroidism, or Raynaud’s syndrome. However, brittle nails can also appear when you have a slow metabolism.

Just like your skin, they are also lacking essential nutrients, being prone to onychoschizia. Steer clear of cold and protect your hands with gloves when doing household chores.

#6 Sign: Your hair is constantly shedding

Are you tired of trying infinite hair growth products? Yes… we know, nothing worked—because the root of the problem is probably somewhere else. If you’re losing your hair and stress or hormonal imbalance have nothing to do with it, maybe your slow metabolism is responsible.

Add more protein to your plate, and talk to your doctor about some hair growth supplements that should contain the following ingredients: iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, zinc, selenium, copper and two crucial amino acids namely, L-lysine and L-methionine.
