INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eat a light, healthy meal rich in protein, healthy fats, and fruits and vegetables before each jogging session. To give your food time to digest and avoid discomfort, wait at least a couple of hours after a full meal before you jog, or between 30 minutes and 2 hours if you’ve had a smaller snack.  Good sources of protein include poultry breast, seafood, beans and peas, and low-fat dairy products. Healthy protein can help give you energy for your jog. It will also promote muscle growth and repair as you recover from your workout. If you’re jogging for weight loss, try increasing your overall intake of fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks, processed foods, and greasy foods. Before you dive into a running routine, begin by walking, particularly if you’re new to exercise or out of shape. Start by walking for 15-20 minutes a day 3-4 times a week. From there, gradually increase the pace of your walking until jogging becomes the next logical step. Once you’re ready to start jogging, it’s still a good idea to start each run at a brisk walking pace. Walking first will help you warm up. To get your blood pumping and prevent injury to your muscles and tendons, it’s very important to warm up before you jog. Spend at least 5 minutes before each jogging session doing a light warmup routine that targets your legs and lower body. Some good warmup exercises include:  Brisk walking Marching in place Doing knee lifts Side-stepping Climbing stairs When you begin running, even if you’re in shape from another sport, you’re using new muscles and will have to adjust accordingly. So, start off slow. For example, during your first few runs, you might alternate between jogging for 5 minutes and walking for 2 minutes for the entire run. As you get used to jogging, you’ll eventually be able to maintain a running pace for a longer period of time before you switch back to walking. Though most people assume how far and how long you run has purely to do with endurance and determination, having the proper running form actually significantly impacts your performance. To make the most of your run and prevent injuries, remember to:  Keep your head straight and your neck and jaw muscles relaxed Relax your shoulders and keep them back and down Bend your arms at a 90° angle and keep your hands relaxed (but not floppy) Lean forward slightly, without bending at the waist Square your hips and keep them stable Avoid lifting your knees too high Strike the ground lightly with the middle of your foot (not your heel or toe) Keep an even rate of breathing while running and breathe with your belly—that is, take deep breaths into your stomach rather than shallow breaths into your chest. Try taking 1 breath for every 2 strides to help keep your breathing regular. You may be tempted to pant or take quick, shallow breaths as you run, but you’ll get more oxygen and maintain your energy better if you breathe slowly and deeply. It’s easy to get dehydrated while you jog, which can deplete your energy and even endanger your health. Drink at least 16 fluid ounces (470 mL) 1-2 hours before you run and take 4-6 swigs of water every 15-20 minutes during your run. After you finish your jog, drink 14–16 fluid ounces (410–470 mL) of fluids, such as a recovery shake or smoothie.  Water is usually the best thing you can drink while doing a short jog. If you don’t like the taste of water alone, add a splash of lemon or lime juice to give it a flavor boost. If you’re running for 60 minutes or more, or if you anticipate other difficult conditions (like uneven terrain or harsh weather), a sports drink can help you keep up your energy. After a run, you can avoid strain on your heart and muscles by doing a cool-down routine. Finish your jog with 5-10 minutes of walking, then do some gentle stretches to relax your muscles. Do deep static stretches and hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds. Do stretches that target your legs and lower back.

SUMMARY: Fuel your body with a protein-rich meal 2-4 hours before jogging. Build up to jogging with regular walks. Warm up for 5-10 minutes before you jog. Alternate between jogging and walking when you start. Practice proper form while jogging. Breathe regularly as you jog. Stay hydrated while you run. Cool down after you jog with walking and light stretches.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Petroleum jelly products like Vaseline act as a shield, helping to seal in the natural moisture of your eyelashes and eyebrows. Just simply put some Vaseline petroleum jelly on the roots of your eyelashes before going to bed.  Rinse your eyelashes with warm water in the morning. You can even rub the Vaseline on your eyebrows. You could use a Q-Tip or clean mascara brush to apply. Try applying Vaseline to your eyelashes every night while you sleep and in weeks you should have longer, thicker eyelashes. While some holistic health practitioners warn against petroleum jelly, the kind that you can buy in stores is regarded as safe by both the FDA and Health Canada. However, petroleum jelly from unregulated markets may be dangerous. Stick to brand names from trusted retailers if you use this treatment. These oils are known to strengthen and stimulate eyelash growth. You could also mix them together.  Just pour a few drops of the oil onto a Q-Tip, and then coat your eyelashes with it. Keep it on your lashes for a few minutes (around 5-8 minutes) and then rinse. Do this once a day for 1-2 weeks, and you should notice the effect soon. Also apply olive or coconut oil on your eyelids and on the skin under your eyes every night (before you go to bed) for a noticeable effect. Apply olive or coconut oil with a cotton swab. Plan not to use eye makeup on days when you use oil, as the oil could cause cosmetics like mascara to run or bleed. Despite the disgusting idea of rubbing raw eggs on your eyelashes, eggs are a very good way of getting lengthy, healthy eyelashes.  The high protein in eggs can help create thicker and longer eyelashes. In addition, eggs contain biotin and B vitamins that play a major role in improving the overall texture of your lashes. Just beat 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of glycerin until you get a thick, creamy texture. Then rub this mixture onto your eyelashes using a cotton swab and keep on for 15 minutes. Rinse off using cold water. Repeat this remedy 3 times a week for a few months. Look for glycerin at your local drugstore, pharmacy, craft store, or grocery store. Use a clean brush or a cotton swab to apply castor oil on your lashes before going to bed. You can also add a few drops of vitamin E oil to the castor oil before applying.  Leave it on overnight, then rinse it off with lukewarm water in the morning. Alternatively, mix together 2 tablespoons each of castor oil and fresh aloe vera gel. Apply it on your eyelashes using a cotton swab. Leave it on overnight, then rinse it off the next morning.  You could also add a few drops of the oil to your mascara tube. The peels are rich in vitamins C and B, folic acid and other nutrients that promote the growth of eyelashes.  Also, when infused in olive or castor oil, they will help enhance the cleansing and stimulating properties of the oil. Put 1 tablespoon of moderately dried lemon peels in a container. Pour enough olive or castor oil into the container, so that the peels get soaked. Allow the mixture to sit for a couple of weeks. Using a clean mascara stick, apply the oil on your eyelashes before going to bed. Leave it on overnight, then wash it off with warm water in the morning. Follow this remedy for a few months to get encouraging results.

SUMMARY:
Try the Vaseline trick. Put olive oil or coconut oil on your eyelashes. Put an egg pack on your eyelashes. Try using castor oil on your lashes. Use lemon peels to add volume to your eyelashes.
