These bacteria can help your gut to digest and eliminate ammonia more effectively. Some common foods that add probiotics into your diet include fermented dairy products, such as kefir, and fermented foods, such as sauerkraut. For example, try to eat a serving of yogurt every day. Yogurt is very high in probiotics and it can help your digestion, as well as your overall health. Red meat protein is more likely to increase the ammonia in your blood than other types of animal proteins. If you know you have high ammonia levels, it's best to eat other types of meat, such as chicken. Vegetable protein, such as that in beans, digests more slowly than protein that comes from animals. Therefore, your body has more time to dispose of the ammonia created while it is digested. With this in mind, it's best to choose vegetable proteins if you are working to keep your ammonia levels low. Eating a vegetarian diet also provides more dietary fiber and amino acids, which both help balance your ammonia levels. Ammonia is a byproduct of protein digestion in the body. Because of this, it is important to limit your protein intake if you are experiencing particularly high levels of ammonia in the blood. High levels of ammonia are usually identified due to an increase in symptoms. For example, if you have liver disease and you are experiencing abnormal brain function, it's a good idea to limit your protein intake as you recover.

SUMMARY: Add probiotics Reduce your intake of animal protein. Consider eating a vegetarian diet. Limit protein after symptom flareups.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you have naturally wavy and frizzy hair, then using the right shower products is very important. Look for a shampoo or conditioner that advertises its moisturizing qualities. Make sure to massage these products into your scalp while taking a shower and fully rinse them out. You can also comb your conditioner through your hair while taking a shower. This helps to ensure that the product reaches all hair strands and makes detangling easier. Avoid shower products that contain alcohol or sulfates, as these can dry out and split your hairs. Using a blow dryer on your hair may only increase any frizziness and dry your hair out. Instead, use a soft towel such as one made of a microfiber material or old cotton T-shirt to gently wring the water out of your hair. It's best to leave your hair just slightly damp if you plan to add styling products right after. Avoid using a terry cloth towel, as this will only increase frizziness. Hair brushes remove oils from your scalp, which makes your hair dryer and frizzier. Use your brush sparingly or replace it entirely with a comb. Run a comb through your hair to spread product out. Or, use your fingers to do the same thing.

SUMMARY: Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry your hair gently with a soft towel after the shower. Detangle and smooth out your hair with a wide-tooth comb.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Eat larger meals at least an hour before swimming and at least an hour after swimming. Eat light before swimming, but make sure you eat something to have the fuel for the workout. You should eat less protein and fat before the swim because it takes longer to digest and won't be able to be used as fuel. Carbohydrates are very important before the workout. Eat a snack within an hour after swimming to rebuild muscles. Wait at least an hour after the swim to eat a larger meal. This will give your body time to rest after the activity and let digestion return to normal. Immediately after a workout, you digest food slower and so eating a heavy meal can cause you to feel overly full. Eat more protein. This will help stabilize blood sugar if you need to go longer between meals. Eat breakfast. Make it a light breakfast if the race is in the morning and a heavy breakfast if the race is in the afternoon. Bring plenty of high carbohydrate snacks. This can be fruits, fruit juice, vegetables and crackers. You will need these on hand for breaks to boost energy quickly. Drink plenty of water. You should consume enough water so that you don't feel thirsty and your pee is clear. Water is important because it keeps you hydrated and keeps muscle cramps and headaches away.

SUMMARY: Plan meals around workouts. Eat right on race day.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is the minimum amount of sunlight that the seeds will require to grow into seedlings. Avoid placing your greenhouse in direct sunlight or you'll risk burning the seeds. Keep your greenhouse covered with the lid in order to trap the warmth. A grow light can also provide warmth for your seedlings. Position an incandescent light at least 24 inches (61cm) away from your plants to keep them from burning. A florescent light can be placed just 6 inches (15cm) away from your greenhouse. If you see water accumulating on the surface of the pellet, stop and water a bit less next time. Be aware that each pellet may require varying amounts of water daily. You should see sprouts start to pop out of the soil after around 10 days post-planting. If the tops of the sprouts reach the lid when closed, then you'll need to start leaving the lid off. The heat generated by the lid can actually burn the sprouts and damage them. Get a single 2USgal (7.6L) planting pot for every 3 pellets. Add potting soil into each pot until it is halfway full. Then, fill up the rest of the pots with bark mulch. Dig a hole for each pellet that is just slightly larger than the pellet's actual size. Gently lift each planting pellet and place it within a hole in the pot. It's fine to place multiple pellets in a single pot, as long as they are not directly touching. If a pellet doesn't have a visible sprout, you can still transplant it and hope that it will produce a plant in time. Cover each pellet with about 0.39 inches (0.99cm) of potting soil, so that the top of the pellet is no longer visible. Extended direct sun will continue to burn your bamboo seedlings, so make sure that your plants get about half sun, half shade. You might even need to move your pots around to ensure that they get at least 6 hours of light. The seedlings should stay a bright green color. If they turn yellow or brown, then they are getting too much sun.

SUMMARY:
Position the greenhouse in a spot with 12-16 hours of indirect sunlight. Water the pellets each day until they are moist. Remove the greenhouse lid when the sprouts start to touch it. Transplant the seedlings to larger planting containers after 30 days. Place the pots in a location with at least 6 hours of indirect sunlight.
