Some vegetables, such as cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes, require cool (55Â°F) and moist storage. These conditions are difficult to maintain in a typical home, so expect to keep vegetables requiring cool and moist storage conditions for only a short period of time.
The condition in which your nails split is known as onychoschizia, and this common problem can arise due to a variety of factors. One cause is malnutrition or a deficiency in vitamins or minerals, like iron. Your toenails can also split or become brittle due to trauma or repeated wetting and drying.
Dear Reader, The loss of a toenail, also called onychoptosis (which literally means falling nail in Greek), can be largely blamed on two major culprits â fungus and injury. Fungus: Several different types of microscopic fungi can cause onychoptosis by feeding on keratin, the tough protein that makes up toenails. Onychoptosis caused by fungus isn't that rare a problem â three to five percent of Americans are affected, as are up to 18 percent of people worldwide.
