In the rush of a London commute, reaching for a sugary pastry or an overly carb-heavy meal may seem like the easiest option. But at Harley Street Nail Specialist Clinic, we have discovered that what you put into your body can make a world of difference in your recovery. While we offer the most advanced laser fungal nail treatment in London, the biological environment that your body creates plays a silent but crucial role in how quickly your healthy nail can grow back.
How High-Sugar Diets Support Fungal Growth
Fungus grows well in sugar. A diet high in glucose can create a breeding ground for fungus to overgrow, making it difficult for any treatment to gain traction. If your diet is high in refined sugars and flours, you may be feeding the infection we are trying to eradicate. By making the transition to an anti-inflammatory diet that is high in zinc, biotin, and probiotics, and low in sugar, simple carbohydrates and processed foods, you are giving your body the tools it needs to help our clinical efforts.
The Role of Vitamins in Nail Bed Recovery
The aim of our treatment is to give your nail bed a healthy start. Our dual-laser approach targets the infection at the root without the liver-damaging side effects of oral drugs. But for optimal effectiveness, we would like to recommend a holistic treatment. To complement your laser fungal nail treatment in London with adequate hydration and nutrition means that your nail bed will have the necessary ingredients, such as Vitamin D and Iron, to build a strong nail plate once the fungus is cleared.
A Multidisciplinary Path to Success
At our clinic, we don’t just focus on your feet; we focus on the bigger picture. Our staff consists of specialists who recognise that fungal infections are merely an indication of a compromised immune system. By incorporating our advanced laser treatments with a few easy changes in lifestyle, we can be the difference between a short-term solution and a long-term one.
