Summarize the following:
As with all seafood, the meat is fresher if you can prepare and eat it right away. If you will be waiting several days to prepare your mussels, store them in the refrigerator and keep them damp either with wet newspaper around them or a damp cloth. Since mussels are living, storing them in a plastic container or plastic bag will suffocate them. Mussels will stay alive longer if you wait to clean them until you are ready to use them. Use a small, stiff brush and water to scrub the mussels' shells and remove barnacles and stuck-on seaweed. Place your mussels in a colander or on a tray. Rinse the mussels several times with a steady flow of fresh water. This will remove any dirt and sand from the mussels. Do not submerge the mussels in water or soak them as this will kill the mussels. Some mussels, mostly the cultivated ones, will have their beards already removed when you purchase them. However, if the beard is still in tact, as will be with wild mussels, you will need to remove the beard. To remove a beard from a mussel, grab hold of the beard, a brown, stringy tuft coming out from between the two shells, and give it a firm pull. The beard may come off during this process. If not, use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the beard away from the shell.

summary: Wait to clean mussels until you are about ready to eat them. Get rid of barnacles on wild mussels. Clean the outside of the mussels. Remove the beards.

. Create an adjustable ring, more commonly known as a "magic ring," with your yarn. Make one chain stitch to secure the loop. Make two more chain stitches from the loop on your crochet hook. Work eleven double crochets into the loop of the magic ring. Gently tug on the ends of the magic ring to close it into a tight circle.  Note that the initial set of two chain stitches will be counted as a single double crochet. Your circle should have 12 double crochet stitches in it, including your set of two chain stitches. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and pull this tail through the loop on your hook to tie it off. The tail should be at least 8 inches (20.32 cm) long. Insert the tail end of the yarn into the eye of a darning needle, loosely tying the end of the yarn onto the needle to hold it on. Alternatively, you could just hold the end of the yarn in place with your fingertip instead of tying it on. Insert the darning needle through the top of your first double crochet and back out through the back loop of the last stitch.  Note that you need to weave it into your first actual double crochet, not through the starting set of two chains. This should create the appearance of an extra stitch and create a clean appearance with a round edge from the front. Use your darning needle to weave the tail end into the stitches along the back of the button, securing it while simultaneously hiding it.

summary: Make a magic ring Chain two and make eleven double crochets. Seal the end. Thread the yarn onto a darning needle. Close the circle. Weave the tail in.

Make sure that your diet include plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables to support your health and possibly even promote hair regrowth.  Some good types of fruits and vegetables to include are:  Cherries Blueberries Tomatoes Squash Peppers Staying hydrated is important for overall good health and it may also help with hair loss. Make sure that you drink between six and eight glasses of water every day to stay hydrated. If you are physically active or sweating, then you will need to drink more water to stay hydrated. Red meat is higher in cholesterol and saturated fat than other protein sources, so it is best to limit your intake of red meat. Instead, stick to lean sources of protein such as skinless poultry, fish, tofu, and beans to give your body (and scalp) the protein that it needs. Allergens may effect different parts of your body and possibly even slow hair growth. If you have a known food allergy, make sure that you are not consuming anything that contains that food as an ingredient. If you suspect that you may be allergic to something, then you may want to ask your doctor about an allergy screening. Identifying any food allergies can help you avoid foods that may be contributing to your hair loss. Common food allergies include:  Dairy Wheat Corn Soy Food additives Preservatives Eating healthier foods and laying off of unhealthy foods may help to reduce your hair loss as well. Try to eliminate the following foods from your diet:  French fries and other fried foods Prepackaged baked goods, crackers, cookies, and chips Refined foods such as white sugar, flour, bread, pasta, and rice Margarine
summary: Eat more fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water each day. Consume more high-quality protein. Steer clear of potential allergen foods. Reduce your intake of processed and trans-fat-heavy foods.
