INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Moisten your skin first with warm water. Then massage 1 to 2 tbsp (14 to 28 g) of bath salts into your skin to sooth and exfoliate it.  You can also sprinkle aromatherapy bath salts onto the floor of your shower. This will exfoliate your feet while infusing the steam with fragrance. Try using bath salts as a foot exfoliant in combination with a foot soak. Whether you’re packaging up your homemade bath salts as a gift or storing them for your own use, store them in a lidded jar or tub. Make sure the container is made of a non-porous material such as glass or PET plastic to keep the essential oils fresh and fragrant.  The container should be closed tightly while the bath salts aren’t in use. If stored properly and kept dry, aromatherapy bath salts should last for many years as they don’t contain ingredients that will go bad.

SUMMARY: Use a handful of bath salts to exfoliate moistened skin in the shower. Store aromatherapy bath salts in an airtight, non-porous container.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are thousands of different types of soybeans. If you want to eat your soybeans, make sure you have an edible, green variety. If you want to make soy milk or flour, find a yellow-seeded variety. If you are planning on drying the soybeans, get a black-seeded variety. Choosing the right soil for your soy plants has many advantages, including that there will be fewer weeds, less erosion, and the right balance of nutrients and pH in the soil. This will produce healthier plants with better yields.  The best type of soil for soybeans is well-draining loam that isn't packed too tightly.  If you're working with soil that has a high clay content, you can make it more suitable for growing soy by mixing it with peat moss, sand, or mulch. Soybean plants will generally produce the highest yields when the beans are planted in May, but the soil temperature is something you have to take into consideration as well. The ideal time to plan soybeans is two to three weeks after the last frost, when the soil warms to about 60 F (15.5 C) and the air to about 70 F (21 C). Soy plants need a good balance of nutrients in the soil to grow properly. If there are too many or too few nutrients, the plants won’t grow properly. Therefore, it’s important to add a fertilizer to the soil if the area hasn’t been enriched in recent years. For soil that hasn’t been enriched recently, add aged manure or compost to the soil to add more nutrients to the seedbed before planting. One particular nutrient that soy plants require a lot of is nitrogen. The best way to ensure that they get what they need is to inoculate the beans with Bradyrhizobium  japonicum, which is a nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium.  To inoculate the beans, place the beans in a bucket and sprinkle them with the bacterium. Use a spade or small shovel to mix the beans and coat each one. Keep the seeds out of direct sunlight and plant them within 24 hours of inoculation. You can purchase Bradyrhizobium japonicum through catalogues, online, or in some gardening and farm supply stores. Sow the soybeans 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) deep into the soil, and space the beans about 3 inches (7.6 cm) apart. Plant the beans in rows that are about 30 inches (76 cm) apart. Water the beans once they’ve been planted, but only until the soil is moist. Do not overwater newly planted beans, otherwise they may crack.
Summary: Select the right type of seeds. Pick the right soil. Plant at the right time. Prepare the seedbed. Inoculate the seed. Plant the seeds.

(If you want to be a Naruto character in general, use blue fabric.) You can purchase your fabric from your local fabric store. If you don’t have a fabric store near you, you can order it online.  Fabric stores usually have a discount section. If you’re on a budget, check there first. You will need about one yard (36 inches) of fabric so that you have plenty of material to wrap around your head and tie in the back. You can use any type of fabric, such as cotton, linen, or rayon. However, these fabrics will fray on the edges. Other fabrics, such as jersey knit, faux leather, or vinyl will not fray. Of these, knit fabric will likely be the easiest to find in the color you need (and less expensive than the others). Be sure that the strip of fabric you cut is about 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide and however long you need to wrap around your head. Leave enough extra to tie off behind your head.  It would be a good idea to measure around your head first and determine the length you would like your headband to be. Be sure to cut your edges straight. Lay out your fabric on a flat surface and use a measuring stick and chalk to create an outline for your headband. If you have opted for a fabric that frays around the edges after being cut (such as cotton), you can apply an anti-fray aerosol spray to the edges to make your headband last longer and prevent wear and tear.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being overweight makes your heart work harder to pump blood around your body. If you are overweight linking your exercise regime with a healthy diet will help to lose weight and relieve some of the stress on your heart, which in turn will lower your resting heart rate. As well as all the other damage tobacco does to your body, smokers are known to have higher resting heart rates than non-smokers. Cutting down or preferably quitting smoking will help to lower your heart rate and improve the healthiness of your heart. Nicotine constricts blood vessels and causes damage to heart muscles and vasculature. Quitting smoking can greatly improve blood pressure, circulation and overall health as well as decrease risk for cancer and breathing problems. Caffeine and caffeine products such as coffee and tea are well-known to increase heart rate. If you think you have a slightly high resting heart rate, lowering your caffeine intake can help to reduce it.  More than two cups of coffee a day can contribute to side effects including an increased heart rate.  Decaffeinated drinks can help you lower your caffeine intake. Alcohol intake has been connected to increased heart rates and higher average heart rates. Cutting down on the amount of alcohol you consume can help you to lower your resting heart rate. Reducing the amount of stress you experience isn't necessarily easy, but it can help you to lower your resting heart rate over time. Stress in extreme amounts can have a negative impact on your health. Practice some activities that help you to relax such, as meditation or tai chi. Try to dedicate a little time each day for a period of relaxation and deep breathing.  Everyone is different so find what relaxes you. Maybe it will be listening to calming music, or taking a long bath.

SUMMARY:
Combine your exercise with a healthy diet. Avoid tobacco. Cut down on caffeine. Avoid alcohol. Reduce stress.
