Why do my nails grow so fast?

(John) said:

I don't like them. When they're cut and I clench my fist,
I feel free, but when they're long, they feel like they're
pinching my hand. They grow about 1/5 cm every ?4? days.
It takes my sister 2 weeks just to get that long. I think
I eat the same things as her. Please help.

Your nails grow quickly (in all liklihood) because you're
*healthy*. If you want your nails to grow more slowly, you
can start smoking, eating a really crappy diet, don't
exercise, get really fat, etc. They'll likely grow slower.
Of course, you'll die young, but hey...it's a lot easier
than trimming your nails every week or so, right?

Try filing them every night instead of trimming once a week.

I'm a guitar player, and use my right hand nails. I
wish I had your problem.

I'm not sure I eat healthy. I drink soda once a day, hate
bread, love meat. Since no help on that, how about why do I
have 2 parallel lines running throufh my big toe?
