Q: Several of the B vitamins promote healthy hair, so upping your intake may help your beard grow a bit faster and fuller. Biotin (Vitamin B7) seems particularly beneficial, so you may want to consult your doctor about taking a biotin supplement as well.  Nuts are a great source of biotin (Vitamin B7). You’ll find vitamins B3 and B5 in chicken, beef, fish, dairy, and avocados. You can get Vitamin B9 from cereals, nuts, and leafy greens. Like the B vitamins, each of these vitamins supports healthy hair in some fashion. They’re also important for your overall health.  Eat carrots, broccoli, and leafy greens for Vitamin A. Choose green peppers, tomatoes, and citrus for Vitamin C. Pick beans, nuts, and leafy greens for Vitamin E. While it may be helpful to target key vitamins, make sure you focus on eating a healthy diet that provides a wide variety of nutrients. Think of it this way—whatever is good for your body is good for your beard!  Eat lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (like avocados and olive oil).

Like eating a healthy diet, getting enough exercise and enough sleep are good for your overall health and your beard health.

Moderate intensity means your heart rate is elevated and you’re breathing hard enough that it’s tough to make conversation. Do 2-3 strength training sessions per week, each for 30-60 minutes. Get roughly 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. to encourage beard growth. You’ve probably heard that excessive stress can cause hair loss.

Q: If, during your practice run, you find that your time has elapsed before you could get through your whole presentation, you’ll know that your presentation has too many slides.  Head back to the drawing board to edit it accordingly.  If your presentation ended well before the time limit you’ve been given, try to extend the amount of time you spend on each slide, or add extra slides to expand on the info introduced in the presentation. Solicit advice from family and friends during your practice presentation.  If they feel there are too many or too few slides, or if they feel certain sections of the presentation felt rushed or slow, adjust your presentation to correct these deficiencies. If you speak quite quickly, you will be able to get through a great number of slides.  If, on the other hand, you speak more slowly, you’ll probably require a smaller number of slides.  Use your rate of speech to determine how many slides your presentation can accommodate. If you have ten minutes to present, you might need upwards of 60 slides.  On the other hand, you might also need just ten slides.  Whatever number you settle on, do not include more slides than you can get through in your allotted presentation time. If you have a lot of info which would be of use in your PowerPoint, or have graphs, tables, or images available that could improve your presentation, use them.  While you don’t want to include so many slides that you can’t get through them all in the allotted time, neither should you feel constrained to the point that you don’t include valuable information or graphics in your slideshow.
A:
Practice your presentation in front of a mirror or a small audience of friends and family before you do it for real. Think about the speed at which you speak. Do not use too many slides. Do not use too few slides.
