Taking care of your body by eating well can favorably influence beard growth. As hair is mainly made up of protein, your beard will benefit from protein-rich foods, such as oily fish, lean beef and chicken. You should also try to increase your intake of healthy, saturated fats, such as those from nuts, fish and eggs. These will promote increased levels of testosterone, which is essential for thick, healthy beards.  Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach and kale, are also a good addition to your diet, as they will help your body to metabolize estrogen (the female hormone), leaving a higher level o testosterone in your system. You should avoid high-sugar junk foods, as these provide no nutritional content and will contribute to weak, brittle hair. Vitamin supplements can be a great way to optimize hair health and stimulate beard growth. Perhaps the best supplement for maximizing hair growth is biotin, a dietary supplement found in pharmacies and health food stores. Dermatologists recommend taking 2.5 mg of biotin every day, for best results.  Other vitamin supplements which have been said to improve beard growth include vitamin B1, B6 and B12, along with beta-carotene, flax seed oil and nettle oil. There is also a multivitamin called VitaBeard which is specifically designed to promote healthy facial hair, allowing beards to grow faster and stronger. It also helps to minimize itching, as it regulates skin's oil production. VitaBeard is available to buy online at beardvitamin.com. Regular, moderate to intense exercise can contribute to a thick, healthy beard as it helps to stimulate testosterone production and improves circulation. Good circulation is important as it carries the required vitamins and nutrients to the skin and hair through the bloodstream. Try to combine both cardiovascular and muscle-building exercises in your workout routine, for best results. Sleep is important as it allows cells to repair and regenerate - which is essential for healthy hair growth. Your overall health and well-being depends on getting enough sleep, so you should try your best to get 7-8 hours of good quality sleep each night. You should also try to minimize your stress levels as much as possible, as high stress levels have been linked with hair loss. Your beard is not like a plant - drinking more water is not going to make it grow faster. However, keeping yourself hydrated is essential for optimum body function, which will improve your overall health. Water flushes out toxins from the body and keeps skin hydrated from within - and neither of these things can hurt your chances of a healthy beard.

summary: Eat well. Take a vitamin supplement. Exercise. Get plenty of rest and relaxation. Stay hydrated.

When your immune system is functioning properly, it can help to fight off many infections that can lead to a URI; however, keeping your immune system strong can take a little bit of work, but there are many things you can do that can boost your immune system's strength. When you exercise regularly, you can keep the neutrophil function in your white blood cells running properly. This function is partly responsible for fighting off infection. Moderate exercise includes brisk walking, jogging, biking, or swimming. Try to exercise for 30 minutes five times a week when possible. These vegetables, which are also called cruciferous vegetables, can help to make your immune system stronger by regulating intra-epithelial lymphocytes in your body. These lymphocytes are stimulated by aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs), which are responsible for the first line of defense in your body against foreign substances that enter your body. They also help with wound repair. Try to eat four to five servings of green leafy vegetables every day. This vitamin is an antioxidant that may help to strengthen your immune system. Vitamin C can help to kill free radicals in your body, which can lead to infections if allowed to develop unchecked. You can take a vitamin C supplement each day; aim to get roughly 500 mg to 1,000 mg of the antioxidant per day. You can also eat foods rich in vitamin C. These foods include citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, kiwis, mangoes, cantaloupe, papaya, pineapple, berries and watermelon. When you do not get enough sleep, it reduces your immune system's ability to function as well as the functions of many other systems in your body. When you sleep, your body grows and repairs damaged cells and tissues, making your body stronger when it comes to fighting infection. Everyone needs a different amount of sleep, depending on your age, lifestyle, and a variety of other factors; however, in general, adults who are 18 years and older need roughly seven to nine hours of sleep, while school-aged children need between nine and eleven hours of sleep. and avoid other harmful irritants. When you inhale cigarette smoke, the chemicals in the cigarette can cause the lining in your nose, mouth, and throat to become inflamed. When this lining becomes irritated, your body produces more mucus, which in turn can trap bacteria and viruses, thus increasing your chances of developing a URI. Other substances to avoid include chemical smoke, fumes from car exhausts and cooking, and wood smoke.

summary: Understand why having a strong immune system is important. Exercise regularly. Eat green, leafy vegetables. Take vitamin C supplements. Get enough sleep each night. Quit smoking


Summarize the following:
Purchase a small plant from a garden store and then repot it in a larger container. If you care for the plant properly, it will thrive and produce plenty of aloe for medicinal use. Choose a wide container to repot your aloe plant since aloes tend to produce offshoots, or baby aloe plants. The most important point to remember while using soil for growing Aloe vera plants is that the soil should be moderately fertile and fast draining, as the plant itself contains a lot of water and will wilt if the soil is not fast draining. Use a good quality commercial propagation mix or pre-packaged "cacti and succulent mix" as they allow good drainage. If you prefer to keep the plant inside, place in a window for maximum sunlight. If you are in mild climatic conditions, take care to provide enough direct light. Artificial light may be used if you do not have much sunlight in your region. In areas that receive frost or snow the species is best kept indoors or in heated glasshouses. Stick your finger into the dirt to determine if you plant needs to be watered. Allow the first 1-2 inches of soil to  dry out completely between waterings. Since aloe vera plants are native to dry, hot regions, they can survive droughts, but the plants will be more likely to thrive if watered every few days. Water your aloe vera plants less in the winter, since the plants will drain more slowly. Over watering can cause rot to form, which may kill your plant. When potted aloe plants become crowded with baby plants growing from the sides of the mother plant, they should be divided and re-potted to allow room for further growth and help prevent pest infestations.  You will have to completely remove your aloe plant from its pot to find these baby plants. Use sharp scissors or a knife to sever them from the mother plant. Repot the mother plant when you are finished and transfer each of the baby plants to their own pot.
summary: Purchase an aloe vera plant. Use appropriate soil. Keep your aloe vera plant in full sun. Check the soil before you water your aloe vera plant. Repot your plant as needed.
