How to make your hair grow faster!


1. Eat a balanced amount of protein every day.
Protein is essential for healthy hair growth. Just make sure you eat the right amount. Hair is largely composed of keratin, a protein made up of amino acids. To grow new hair, your body must produce more amino acids, which it can only do from consuming protein. Because hair needs these ingredients to promote hair growth using additional over the counter products can sometimes give that extra boost of nutrients and proteins and even promote faster hair growth. Healthy protein sources include lean meat, fish, eggs, nuts, beans, and soy products. Ensuring you have enough protein in your daily diet, the protein will literally give your body the building blocks for new hair growth.

2. Be sure to eat adequate amounts of iron and zinc. Iron and zinc deficiencies can lead to poor hair health or even hair loss in addition to conditions such as anemia. Iron is essential for the transmission of oxygen to your cells (including your hair follicles) and helps your body use protein to build strong hair. Animal sources, such as lean meats, poultry, and eggs are most readily absorbed by your body, but good vegetarian sources include beans, lentils, tofu, and soybeans. Zinc helps your body grow and repair tissue, such as your hair, and keeps the oil glands around your hair follicles working as they should. Get your zinc from peanut butter, lean meat, oysters and crab, poultry, pumpkin seeds, or chickpeas. If you have a zinc or iron deficiency, you may need supplements that should only be taken under the direction of a health professional. Many people can achieve healthy levels of iron and zinc by eating the above-mentioned foods or by consuming fortified grain products, such as cereal, bread, and pasta.

3. Don't cut fat out of your diet. Healthy fats are indispensable to hair growth. Without fat in your diet, your body cannot maintain healthy hair.
  • Fat is also very important to the body because it helps it assimilate vitamins that are necessary for hair growth, like Vitamins A, D, E, and K.
  • Be sure to limit your fat into to a healthy level and focus on unsaturated fats and fatty acids such as Omega 3. 
4. Make sure you meet your recommended daily intake of Vitamin C. Having a Vitamin C deficiency can cause dry, dull, and weak hair that is prone to breakage.Your body uses Vitamin C to build collagen, a fiber essential to the production of new hair cells. Without Vitamin C, your body will also have a hard time absorbing iron, so it's doubly important to make sure you get your daily dose, particularly in combination with iron-rich foods.Good sources of Vitamin C include citrus fruits, pineapples, strawberries, guava, broccoli, kale, and peppers.

5. Take B vitamins to avoid hair loss. Anecdotally, B vitamin supplements and topical applications have gained a significant following among those trying to speed up hair growth.
  • Though there is little scientific evidence that increased consumption of B Vitamins such as riboflavin and biotin actually leads to healthier hair, deficiencies of these vitamins can lead to hair loss or thinning.Consult with your physician before taking any supplements since hair loss could be a result of something other than a Vitamin B deficiency.
  • Good sources of B vitamins include seafood, spinach, oatmeal and other whole grains, soybean products, lean dairy, lean meats, bananas, lentils, potatoes (with the skin), peas, beets, broccoli, and artichokes.

My face night routine!

Long and busy day is over, after moulting and dinner, comes my favorite part, removing makeup and preparing  face for the night.


First I take off most of my makeup with makeup removing wipes. I always use different. Now I have this great Softly wipes, they are very well to remove makeup and not irritating to the skin.



Then I cleancing my face with Eveline make up removing lotion. This is cleanser, tonic and make up remover in one. It's very good. I putt a little extra on my hand and well rub on my face, then I pick up the excess with wipes.



After that I peeling my face with Bourjois Paris radiance-boosting face scrub. This thing is awesome, after peeling the skin is very soft and shiny, and simply looks healthy.



And then moisturise my face with my favorite night cream. I use Nivea daily essentials regenerating night cream.

And that's it. I constantly changing products for nighttime routine, but this is something that I use now and I like how my skin looks after that.

Calories: 387
 

What You'll Need:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (4 to 6 oz each)
4 pineapple slices (1/2-inch thick)
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices, or 1 fresh jalapeno, thinly sliced
Teriyaki sauce
4 slices Swiss cheese

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

How to make it:
1 Combine chicken and enough teriyaki sauce to cover it in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 12 hours.

2 Heat a grill until hot (you shouldn't be able to hold your hand above the grates for more than 5 seconds). Remove chicken from marinade and place on the grill; discard any remaining marinade. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, flip, and immediately add cheese to each breast. Continue cooking until cheese is melted and chicken is lightly charred and firm to the touch. Remove from grill; set aside.

3 While chicken rests, add pineapple and rolls to the grill. Cook rolls until they're lightly toasted, and pineapple slices until they're soft and caramelized, about 2 minutes per side. Top each roll with chicken, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeno slices. If you like, drizzle chicken with a bit more teriyaki sauce.
