I Bite My Nails, Could This Be From Stress? |

The first step is to find out why you bite your nails. One reason many people bite their nails is to satisfy the need to have something in their mouths, which happens a lot with stressed-out people who skip meals and drink a lot of coffee. If that description fits you, making sure you eat regular meals with adequate protein may help, because that maintains a regular blood sugar level throughout the day. In other people, the culprits are nervousness and increased tension, so I treat them for stress. That can be done a number of ways, including through relaxation practices, such as meditation and yoga, as well as diet and lifestyle changes.
