Many of us are on a quest for luscious hair and strong nails, and the secret to achieving this might surprise you.

A doctor has recently revealed a recipe that people "need" if they want to achieve shiny tresses and robust nails. It appears that adding something quite simple to your diet could revolutionise your beauty routine.

Doctor Shireen, known as doctorshireen on TikTok, is renowned for her health advice online, but she recently shifted her focus to something that could enhance your appearance too. It seems a bit of bone broth is deemed essential for radiant skin and silky hair.

If you're looking to increase your children's protein intake, she also suggested incorporating some into their meals for a health boost - they won't even notice it's there.

To prepare the broth, she begins by chopping a large amount of celery and two medium-sized onions. She then adds two to three chopped carrots to the mix.

Next, she includes the bones, which she says are easy to obtain from the butcher's shop. In fact, her local meat supplier provides her with some at no cost.

After rinsing them with boiling water, she adds the bones and vegetables to a pot and covers them with boiling water. She then places it on the stove to simmer for three to four hours.

Once cooked, she strains the mixture into a pot to separate the broth. Doctor Shireen claimed it will "smell and taste divine".

She said: "I either just have it with a spoon or I dip some bread into it. It's just so good."

The video has taken the internet by storm, amassing hundreds of views since it was shared. People had lots of questions about how to whip up the perfect broth.

One user asked: "What kind of bone do you ask for?" Another chimed in with: "Looks yummy and healthy, will try." Meanwhile, a third probed: "How long can it be stored in the fridge for?"

The consensus among the online community is that the broth should be consumed within three to five days, and it's widely confirmed to boost your hair health.

Packed with hair-enriching nutrients like collagen, amino acids, calcium, potassium and magnesium, these elements band together to fend off breakage and spruce up the overall look of your hair. As well as being tasty and healthy, it boasts many surprising benefits.
