INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In general, a healthy diet consists of lots of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats, and the avoidance of processed foods. Here are some key foods to eat for healthy hair:  Fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel contain omega-3 fatty acids, which protect you from disease and help your body grow and maintain healthy, shiny hair. Greek yogurt contains protein and vitamin B5 (also known as pantothenic acid), which are both essential for healthy hair growth. If you don’t get enough protein in your diet, your hair growth stalls.  Dark leafy greens such as spinach and kale contain vitamin A, iron, beta carotene, folate, and vitamin C, which are all helpful in maintaining a healthy scalp and hair. Vitamin C in particular is hugely helpful in preventing breakage. Sweet potatoes and other orange fruits and vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins, cantaloupe, and mangoes contain the antioxidant beta carotene, which helps keep hair hydrated and shiny. Cinnamon and other spices boost your circulation, helping to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your hair follicles. Sprinkle blood-flow-boosting spices into your various meals and beverages. Eggs are a great source of protein, iron, and biotin — a B vitamin that helps with hair growth. In addition to making you tired, unfocused, and depressed, an iron deficiency can cause hair loss.  If you think you might not be getting enough iron in your diet, try eating fortified cereal, grains, and pastas. You can also find iron in soybeans, lentils, shellfish, dark leafy greens, beef, and organ meats like liver. If you are dehydrated you are likely to have a drier scalp and dull, dry hair. Aim to drink roughly half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water each day. Example: a 150-pound woman would drink at least 75 ounces of water each day — more if she were active or living in a hot climate (i.e. if she were sweating). Stress can lead to hair loss. To help reduce stress, work on exercising regularly, sleeping at least 7 hours each night (8.5 hours if you’re a teenager), and doing things that help you relax. Some things that may help you relax include meditation, socializing with people who make you feel good, taking baths, or taking up a fun hobby (e.g., book club, music, dance, recreational sports). In addition to being good for you generally, workouts are also good for your hair. Exercise can help increase circulation, release protective sebum from the scalp, and sweating can help release dirt or any dead skin that might clog your follicles. If your hair is thinning or otherwise damaged, and there’s no obvious reason for it (i.e. you’re not bleaching your hair regularly or constantly frying it with heat styling tools), see a doctor to rule out any potential health problems. Some health problems that can lead to hair loss/damage:  Overactive or underactive thyroid Other hormonal problems Anemia/iron deficiency Exposure to harmful chemicals Severe infections Side effects of certain medications

SUMMARY: Eat for strong hair. Make sure you get enough iron. Drink enough water. Reduce stress. Exercise. See a doctor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Maybe there is a hobby you’ve always wanted to try or pursue but never had enough time for in your busy, passionless schedule. Cultivate your inner passion by going after a new experience and learning new skills. Join a class that will allow you to get better at the hobby, like a class in guitar, drawing, or creative writing. Focus on a hobby that will force you to get out of your comfort zone. Get motivated to pursue this hobby by leaning on the support of a friend or a partner. Join the class together or have the person call you to remind you about the class every week. The support of someone else can help to validate your pursuit of passion in the form of a new skill and ensure you show up to class every week. Maybe there is a sport or a recreational activity you’ve always wanted to try like running, karate, yoga, or basketball. Or a sport you’ve always been good at or enjoyed but have been able to focus on. Join a club or a recreational team in your area and make sure you show up for practice every week. Set aside time in your schedule so the training session becomes a priority in your life. Participating in a sport or joining a team will also allow you to get to know new people and be part of a group that is different than your normal circle of friends. This could allow you to develop more passion for others by being surrounded by new people and new topics of conversation. Make familiar activities less humdrum and passionless by adding a fun twist to them. This will help make your routine more interesting and exciting.  If you tend to sit at the same spot in your home, working on your laptop or reading your notes, mix up your routine by sitting a different spot or relocating to your local library or a nearby cafe. Studies have shown that a change of scene every few hours during an intense study session can actually improve your ability to retain information.  As well, if you tend to take the same walking path during your daily walk, choose a different route. If you go to the same yoga class every week, change your routine by going to a different class that may be more challenging or teach you new skills. A bucket list is usually composed of activities that you aspire to do. Your bucket list can contain dream items like “climb every mountain the world” or it can contain practical items like “learn how to knit” or “graduate from university”. A well rounded bucket list with an equal number of dream items and practical items can get you inspired and motivated to lead a more passionate life.  Once you create your bucket list, you should motivate yourself to try to achieve an item within a set period of time. This way, you can feel a sense of accomplishment every time you cross an item off your list. You may start with the more practice items first and concentrate on those so you can start to feel accomplished as soon as possible. Don’t be afraid to put down big dream items, as these can act as useful aspirational tools. Though the dream items may seem impossible to achieve, they can help you to live your life with more passion and motivation. Pushing yourself to try something that seems impossible will at least get you out of your comfort zone and into doing fun and exciting things more often.
Summary: Try a new hobby or activity. Join a club or a recreational team. Include a fun twist to routine activities. Make a bucket list and try to achieve each item.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Collagen powder is popular among Paleo and ketogenic diets because of its high protein content. Using collagen powder is an easy way to add this vital nutrient to your daily meals. This is a great idea if you work out or play sports, as the protein in collagen helps build and restore muscles. Collagen powder is said to reduce cravings, especially for sweet foods. Protein helps regulate blood sugar level, and sugar cravings are often caused from blood sugar fluctuations. By using collagen powder, you may be able to balance your cravings and kick them to the curb. This over time can help you lose weight, if paired with healthy eating and regular exercise. In general, collagen powder may help reduce inflammation in joints across the body. The added nutrients help promote bone health. Consider using collagen powder if you suffer from widespread joint pain or osteoarthritis. For instance, this can help athletes with sore, achy bones. While using skincare products with collagen helps target particular areas, adding collagen powder to your diet can help hydrate the skin overall. Using collagen powder can also help your skin produce collagen naturally, which decreases wrinkles. Results may take up to 8 weeks. There are 2 different types of collagen powder, though both are very rewarding. Collagen peptides work great for skin, bone, and digestive health. Collagen powder is most effective for gut health and improving sleep quality. As a whole, collagen peptides is easiest to digest and retain the nutrients.  Use collagen protein if you want a gelatin substitute. The gel-like consistency of collagen protein works great when cooking in breakfast and desserts. Go with collagen peptides if mixing with cold liquids. Collagen peptides work well to make things like smoothies and soups.

SUMMARY:
Add collagen powder to your diet if you want to increase protein intake. Give collagen a try if you want to reduce cravings and lose weight. Supplement with collagen if you want to reduce joint inflammation. Try using collagen to improve overall skin health. Choose to use either collagen protein or collagen peptides.
