Serious question. I've been a nail biter basically my whole life, dunno why, just have been.
I've been having some thoughts in my head, various reasons, making me wonder if I'm zinc deficient and trying to get to the bottom of why, and what I can do about it - this is one thought I've had. My nails rarely get more than a mm of the "white" extension before I bite or pick them off.
I wonder if this can cause a deficiency, because your body is basically constantly needing to provide materials to regrow it. I do realize that nails basically can grow almost indefinitely beyond just a couple inches of the "white", but doesn't it slow down / not require as much material/energy to grow after a while? At least that's my thinking process?
I also wonder about zinc because like I said other reasons, for example I've noticed that some people tend to get more benefit from nofap than others - I'm one of the people that gets a big benefit from it - and I wonder if that's just partly due to a zinc defiency (we lose zinc in the act, correct?)
Time to try to force myself not to bite it anymore I suppose... Lol
