Well here’s one pretty positive thing about Apeldoorn. Apparently were sitting on a huge source of iron here.
And suddenly my nails have become really strong which I haven’t had for 15 years. I first remember when my nails went terrible and flakey, I was about 17 and my nails would split and flake away, just like nail polish. Obviously putting on nail polish wasn’t a great idea, it never lasted long and there was no way I could grow them at all.
I’ve also suffered from fatigue for years, but no blood test has ever showed anything wrong and iron levels, even though they were low, they were still normal.
But I did a little google the other day, and I discovered that not only are weak nails and tiredness symptoms of iron deficiency, but also cracks in the corners of the mouth. I used to regularly get this aswell.
So now that I’m drinking the fresh yummy water of Apeldoorn (anyone from Adelaide will understand how fantastic this is!), my nails have gone rock hard and now I’m looking forward to losing the rest of the symptoms………..hopefully 😉
It does often happen that while you breastfead that your body changes and even your hair can change from straight to curly.
