Dr. Gott: Nail biting can be bitter experience
-->Q I have been a chronic nail-biter since grade school. I have tried the bitter stuff to put on my nails, hypnotism and even fake nails.
I would love to grow my own nails, but when I get worked up or nervous, I chew until I have stubs. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.
A There are a number of reasons for this habit. It can result from being nervous, depressed, excited, bored, or even for unknown reasons. The stresses in everyday life can be difficult to deal with.
Most nail-biting is simply a bad habit. It is rather common in children and young adults, but typically ceases thereafter. It will not cause permanent damage unless you have warts or an infection around the nail bed.
If you suffer from frequent colds or diarrhea, you might attribute it to your nail-biting. Bacteria or viruses from the fingers and nails enter the mouth when you bite, making infection possible.
The first step might be to determine under what circumstances you bite your nails. Keep a journal. Are the episodes related to stress, depression or unhappy experiences?
Depending on the circumstance, you might speak with your primary care physician, a therapist, counselor or other trained professional.
Sometimes even the most complicated situation can be controlled with a simple modification in lifestyle.
I can offer some initial suggestions for control, but you have likely tried them all. Trim your nails. Cover them with clear nail polish to make them appear more attractive. Get a manicure.
Wear gloves to bed at night to prevent unconscious biting in your sleep. Purchase a small rubber ball to hold in the palm of your hand to squeeze, or place a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when you feel the urge to bite.
Make an hourly or daily resolution to stop biting -- and take it one day at a time.
Q How about another cookbook to keep up the series?
A Frankly, another cookbook is not in my immediate plans, but I must admit I have been collecting recipes since my last book went to press, so who knows?
In the interim, use my "No Flour, No Sugar Diet" book, which contains many recipes, including Broiled Portobello Mushroom Steaks With Rosemary Red Wine Reduction, and my "No Flour, No Sugar Cookbook" that you are already familiar with.
Branch off from the recipes by modifying them to include other lean cuts of meat or fish and adding fresh fruits and vegetables now available at your local market.
