Fish is normally sold in plastic bags or another type of plastic wrapping. For tuna steaks and other fish, there's no need to remove the bags when thawing the fish. The tuna steak will still properly thaw when wrapped in the plastic bag. It's very important that you don't leave the tuna steaks out at room temperature in the kitchen or elsewhere in the house. Fish spoils easily and the fridge will thaw the tuna steak while also keeping it cool at the same time. Room temperature defrosting will thaw the outside layers of the tuna steak while the inside layers go bad. Use a thermometer to make sure your fridge is 5 °C (41 °F) or cooler. This is the right temperature for defrosting fish. While it might only take the tuna steak a few hours to thaw in the fridge, you want to be sure that it's completely defrosted before using it. By leaving it overnight, you give the tuna steak enough time to properly defrost. Don't leave the tuna steak in the fridge for longer than 24 hours. The longer the fish is in the fridge, the higher the chances of it going bad. Now that you gave your tuna steak the entire night in the fridge to defrost, you can remove it from the fridge. Take the tuna steak from the plastic bag and inspect it to make sure there's no signs of frost or ice.

Drive by any new restaurant and you know they’re open because of the big banner over the doorway. This can help your business, and so can sending out lots of menus and press releases. Make sure the community knows that you’re open for business. You can also offer deals on food or drinks or hand out food samples to encourage customers to come through your doors.  A grand opening party can be held after special events, such as closing for construction or moving locations. If you have owned your restaurant for a while, consider turning this into an anniversary or renewal party. The period between lunch and dinner is a quiet time for restaurants. Many restaurants compensate by offering lunch deals or reduced price drinks and appetizers. The offer can get people in the door and even encourage them to stay long enough to get hungry for dinner.  One key to lunch hours is to provide speedy service, since your customers may come on a tight work schedule. For example, many restaurants offer a lunch menu. You could offer soup and half a sandwich, or smaller portions of dinner meals for cheaper prices. Taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday are well-known promotion examples. The promotion can be adapted for dinner as well as lunch. Many restaurants bring in local bands for live performances to add ambiance. You can get your customers involved by having them suggest or vote for bands on your social media pages. Providing entertainment and livening up your space encourages customers to stay longer. Be aware of any entertainment and noise ordinances in your area. Consult your local government to see if live music is a possibility for your business. Special events are big business, so most restaurants set up something special to attract customers. Something simple like a special holiday menu or a theme party can draw in new customers and publicity. Advertise this by posting flyers in your restaurant and advertisements online.  For example, you could have a Mad Men night and have everyone dress like characters from the show. Creating themed dishes or menus is an option that most restaurants can do. It’s a change that helps you stand out and provide a little fun for potential customers. Host a poetry reading, a wine tasting night, or a similar event. Create a sign-up sheet so you can plan the event. Be creative and come up with more events that you and your staff can handle. Rearrange your interior space to create the ideal atmosphere for the event.  For instance, a breakfast restaurant could have a “Breakfast with the Easter Bunny” event for families as an Easter promotion. You can also bring in guest chefs or invite local celebrities. Be creative and think of what fits your restaurant and appeals to your clientele.

For centuries, saw palmetto has been used to promote healthy hair and skin. Saw palmetto also blocks the production of DHT (a metabolite of testosterone), a contributing factor to enlarging of the prostate. Because DHT production also causes hair loss, it is thought that saw palmetto can help prevent hair loss. However, no authentic clinical reports support the use of saw palmetto to be effective for preventing hair loss. Your mother told you they were good for you, but you may not know that they are good for your hair, too. Add some extra milligrams of these vitamins to your daily regimen:   Vitamin A: Vitamin A is an antioxidant, which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp. Sweet Potatoes are loaded with vitamin A-rich beta carotene, which not only promotes a healthy scalp but also promotes hair growth.  Omega-3: Take omega-3 fatty acids. Foods rich in omega-3 include fatty fish, egg yolks, fish eggs (caviar), flaxseeds, chia seeds, and fortified milk.  Vitamin E: This vitamin stimulates circulation, and good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping your hair follicles productive.  B vitamins: The B vitamins help your body produce melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and stimulates blood circulation. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is also responsible for proper hair growth because it plays a part in the cell division within hair follicles.  Vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that increases your absorption of non-heme iron that originates from plant products. Because of this, a vitamin C deficiency can make hair dry and brittle, and also cause hair loss.  Vitamin D: Vitamin D is a pro-hormone that your body typically takes in through sun exposure. A low concentration of vitamin D2 has been linked to hair loss, especially for women who are 18-45 years old.
