Article in English: Drafting can be a difficult part of the process, even if you have lots of ideas. The best thing to do is to set aside some quiet time to do nothing but write. For example, you might plan to do nothing but work on your draft between 8pm to 10pm on Thursday evening.  Make sure that you give yourself at least two hours to sit and write your draft. Turn off your cell phone, ask your parents or roommates not to disturb you, and eliminate any other potential distractions. Gather all of your notes from your invention exercises before you begin writing. If you have completed a couple of invention exercises, then you should have a good idea of where to begin and how to organize your thoughts. If not, then you may want to spend some time outlining before you get started. . Introductions can be difficult to write, so it is a good idea to spend some extra time thinking about what you want to include in your introduction. You should also make sure that you avoid some of the most common pitfalls with introductions.  Try to write an introduction that will draw your readers into the story and help them connect with your topic. You might begin by asking a question, giving an illustrative example, or explaining a difficult concept. Avoid giving broad history in your intro. Introductions sometimes go too wide and this can be confusing for readers. Avoid starting your paper with phrases like, "Since the dawn of time..." or "Everyone in the history of mankind..." or " Avoid providing dictionary definitions. Intros that include a definition are often dull and the definition is not usually necessary at all. Avoid starting your paper with phrases like, "The dictionary defines friendship as..." or "According to Webster's dictionary..." Some people prefer to write a draft while others need to do it in small chunks. Decide what works best for you, but make sure to give yourself breaks about every two hours. It is hard to concentrate for more than two hours at a time, so get up stretch, take a quick walk, or grab a snack after you have...

Article in English: Draw a box and divide it into four smaller squares. Leave room above the box and to its left, so you can label it.  Review the background information below if you have trouble understanding any of the steps that follow. Each Punnett square describes how variations of a gene (alleles) could be inherited if two organisms sexually reproduce. Choose a letter to represent the alleles. Write the dominant allele with any capital letter, and the recessive allele with the same letter in lowercase. It doesn't matter which letter you choose.  For example, call the dominant gene for black fur "F", and the recessive gene for yellow fur "f". If you don't know which gene is dominant, use different letters for the two alleles. Next, we need to know the genotype each parent has for that trait. Each parent has two alleles (sometimes the same one) for the trait, just like every sexual organism, so their genotype will be two letters long. Sometimes, you'll already know exactly what this genotype is. Other times, you'll have to work it out from other information:  "Heterozygous" means it has two different alleles (Ff).  "Homozygous dominant" means it has two copies of the dominant allele (FF). "Homozygous recessive" means it has two copies of the recessive allele (ff). Any parent that shows the recessive trait (has yellow fur) belongs to this category. Pick one parent – traditionally the female (mother), but either will work. Label the first row of the grid with one of that parent's allele. Label the second row of the grid with the second allele. For example, the female bear is heterozygous for fur color (Ff). Write an F to the left of the first row, and an f to the left of the second row. Write the second parent's genotype for the same trait as labels for the columns. This is typically the male's, or father's. For example, the male bear is homozygous recessive (ff). Write an f above each of the two columns. The rest of the Punnett square is easy. Start in the first box. Look at the letter to its left, and the letter above it....

Article in English: Draw a large circle where you'd like the lion's chest to be. Leave a gap that's as wide as 1/2 of the big circle and sketch another circle to the left. This will be the rear of the lion so make it about 3/4 the size of the large circle. Sketch your guiding circles lightly so you can go back and erase lines as needed. Position the wider end of the egg-shape above the big circle and leave a space that's as big as you want the lion's neck to be. Then, make facial guidelines. Lightly draw a horizontal and vertical line that cross through the head. Then, draw a small curve in the top quadrant, which will be the ear.  The top quadrant is the highest quarter in the wider end of the head. Taper the egg shape down to become the lion's muzzle. If you feel comfortable drawing the facial features, you don't need to draw the guidelines. Make 2 parallel lines that come down from the smaller circle. Sketch them going to the left and then down to the right. For the front leg, draw a line that curves slightly to the right. There's no need to draw 4 lines because 1 of the lion's legs will be hidden by the leg that's next to it. To make your outline look more like a lion, draw a line that connects the top of the circles with the head. To make the outline realistic, make the line dip down towards the chest. Then, draw a line across the bottom of the circles that curves up to the right. Connect this line to the tapered end of the head. To make the tail, draw a line coming out of the small circle that curves in an "S" shape. You now have a basic outline for the lion. To make the eye, draw a small slightly curved triangle halfway above the horizontal line. Place a dot in the middle to make the pupil. For the nose, draw an upside-down triangle at the tapered end of the head. You can make the eye and nose as detailed or simplistic as you like. Draw a line from the bottom of the nose and curve it down towards the bottom left quadrant of the head. Then, make a handful of dots right below the nose and draw 4 or 5 light whiskers...

Article in English: Draw spider shapes on construction paper or card stock and cut them out, then fix them to your walls or to string to make bunting or garland. You can also use the spider shape as the basis for a collage.  Paper spiders can be stuck all over the wall, among fake webs, and in bushes. Be careful about putting the paper spiders outside, as they might get wrecked if it rains. Use cardboard for larger spiders that can be hung from ceilings or greater heights to dangle in people's faces. You might cut up garbage bags and glue them onto these so that they’re shiny black spiders. As an example, you could make a spider from an egg carton and pipe cleaners:  Cut out an egg carton piece to form the spider’s body. Paint in the color you want the spider to be — black, neon, purple with red spots, etc. You might even use a glow-in-the-dark or black-light paint. Pierce four holes down one side and another four down the other side of the egg carton piece, then slip pipe cleaners into the holes each side to form eight legs. Reshape the legs so that the spider can stand properly and perhaps have two legs splayed in front. Glue on a bunch of pre-made googly eyes or paint them on to make the spider’s face. You can also add fangs. If you want the spider to be larger, you can use two egg carton pieces for the body, and then glue on a ping pong ball or something similar to form the spider’s head. . If you want a web or two for all the spiders you’re making, you have many options:  A string web is made by weaving a web using string and a wire frame, and then gluing the cutting out the round part of the web. You then hang the web from the ceiling using another piece of string. (Paper or light plastic spiders go well on this web.) A pipe cleaner web is made from twisting together 4 pipe cleaners and then working outward until you’ve reached the desired web size. (Pipe cleaner spiders go well with this web.) A doily web is ideally made of crocheted doilies that have been sprayed black. Use string to attach the doilies to a transparent...

Article in English: Dreams are highly personal and, in fact, scientists still don’t quite know why we dream. If you are seriously interested in dream interpretation, you’ll be happy to know that they may well have some meaning for your life. However, you probably won’t be able to use them to predict the future.  Some scientists think that dreams are a result of the brain firing at random. Some think that animals, humans included, evolved dreaming as a defense mechanism, while others believe that we dream in order to process information at the end of the day.  Still, other people strongly believe that dreams can be something more.  Perhaps they aren’t precognitive, but is it possible that a dream could be a message from someone or something? We really don’t know. Analyzing your dreams may well help you to better understand yourself and your subconscious. You may find fears, hopes, and aspirations that you weren’t aware of before. However, whether you can take a specific lesson from a dream is not so clear.  Dreams and symbols will vary from person to person. While some might be universal, as Jung thought, many more probably aren’t. Given how unproven dream interpretation is, you should be careful about using it to guide your life or as the basis for major decisions. Many dream resources pretend to have all the answers. They will assign detailed, specific meanings for all sorts of symbols. Does dream interpretation really work like this? In fact, it is probably a lot more complex. Don’t trust everything that you read.  You know yourself best, and many times can identify the meaning or association of a symbol better than a dream dictionary. Trust your own judgement. If you want to get to the meaning behind your dreams, you might also try seeing a psychoanalyst. She might not be able to tell your future, but perhaps she can shine some light onto your subconscious.

Article in English: Dried prunes should be placed in an airtight container. A heavy duty plastic bag is also appropriate.  You can store prunes in a cool, dark area. Prunes can be safely stored in the pantry, the refrigerator, or the freezer. The shelf life of prunes depends on where you store them. Make sure to know the shelf life of your prunes to avoid eating spoiled fruit.  In the pantry and fridge, dried prunes will last 6 to 12 months. The freezer can extend the shelf life of a dried prune. Dried prunes stored in the freezer can last 12 to 18 months. If it's around Thanksgiving, dried prunes can make a tasty addition to any stuffing. When sautéing other items for the stuffing, like onion and celery, toss in the prunes as well. Cook everything together for a few minutes, and then remove the mixture from the heat. Prunes can add a slightly sweet flavor to a stuffing, which can shake up a stuffing made with mostly savory ingredients. You can stuff prunes with Stilton or another type of cheese for a sweet and savory appetizer. You simply cut the prunes through the center and then fill them with cheese. Stuffed prunes would make a great snack for an elegant dinner party. Prunes can compliment beef nicely.  Usually, you would add the prunes, in addition to any other garnishes, about halfway through the cooking process. However, refer to your specific recipe to make sure this is safe given the type of roast you're making.

Article in English: Drink plenty of fluids when you have kidney pain. If the pain is due to infection, the water may help flush out bacteria. Staying hydrated can also help to prevent kidney stones. In general, men should drink around 13 cups of water and other fluids daily (about 3 liters), and women should aim for 9 cups (2.2 liters). Water, juice, and tea count towards your fluids. Drinking cranberry juice may be a natural way to flush out your kidneys. Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake. These shouldn’t make up a big portion of your daily fluids. Use a heating pad on your back, flank, or abdomen to minimize pain. This will not cure the underlying cause of your kidney pain, but can make you more comfortable. You can also soak in a hot bath or shower. OTC pain medication can help to alleviate kidney pain. Take the right kind of pain medicine – use products that contain the ingredient acetaminophen, like Tylenol. Other OTC pain medications can cause harm to your kidneys. When in doubt, ask your doctor or a pharmacist if a medication is safe to take.  Stay away from aspirin products. Most pain medications are meant for short-term use. If your pain is chronic (long-lasting) discuss pain management with your doctor. OTC acetaminophen products may still be appropriate. OTC pain medications can often be used to treat mild pain caused by polycystic kidney disease, an inherited disorder that causes chronic kidney pain as well as high blood pressure. Some people find lemon juice to help ease kidney pain associated with kidney stones, and it has even been show to work well as a preventative for kidney stones. This is because lemon contain citric acid, which helps to coat the stones and prevents them from getting any bigger. You can get the benefits of citric acid by drinking four ounces of lemon juice per day (diluted in water) or by drinking 32 ounces of lemonade per day. You should see your doctor any time you have kidney pain, but drinking coffee or tea may help to prevent the recurrence of kidney stones. One study showed that...

Article in English: Drink plenty of water. In general, it's recommended that men drink about 13 cups (3 liters) of water a day, and women drink about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of water a day. Not only will the fluids help soothe your throat, calming irritation that is causing you to cough, but they can also help thin the secretions in the throat. This is an age-old remedy for coughs and sore throats. Though it won't treat the chronic cough, it can help reduce any swelling and provide some relief. Mix 1 teaspoon of salt into 8 ounces of warm water. Gargle with this mixture every few hours. A cough suppressant works to block the cough reflex. It's important to note that a suppressant will not treat the main cause of the cough but may provide some relief, particularly if your cough is interfering with your sleep.  For a long time, codeine was seen as the "gold standard" cough suppressant drug because it decreased activity in the part of the brain that brings about coughing. However, recent studies have suggested that codeine is not effective in suppressing coughs. Furthermore, there is an addictive potential to codeine and not all providers or patients are comfortable with this.  A common cough suppressant is dextromethorphan (e.g., Triaminic Cold and Cough, Robitussin Cough, Delsym, Vicks 44 Cough and Cold). Be cautious with using over-the-counter cough medicines. Always talk to your doctor before using, and only use the dosage and follow the directions as specified. Do not give cough medicines to children under the age of four.  If your cough is productive, meaning it brings up mucus or phlegm, don't use a cough suppressant. Most throat lozenges, such as Halls or Fisherman's Friend, have medicine in them that works to numb the throat to provide a soothing effect.  You can purchase lozenges or "cough drops" (as they are commonly known) with eucalyptus or mint, which can further help clear out and sooth your airways.  Do not give any lozenges to children under the age of 4, as they pose a choking hazard. Scientific research suggests that...

Article in English: Drinking water will help your body to combat the congestion by thinning the mucus in your lungs and make it easier to cough up the mucus. It will also keep your body hydrated.  Tobacco smoke slows the movement of the tiny hairs (known as cilia) that line our lungs and help to remove mucus. When you stop smoking, these hairs become more active and start to clear away the mucus built up in your lungs. This can result in increased coughing for a few weeks after you first quit.  Drinking orange juice and other natural fruit juices will provide your body with the vitamins and minerals it needs to combat congestion. Avoid alcohol, coffee, and sodas which can contribute to dehydration as much as possible. Dry air can irritate your lungs and increase your coughing fits. The steam produced from a hot shower or bath can moisten the air passages in your lungs and thin out the mucus. Keep your head angled at 15 degrees by placing one or two pillows directly underneath your head. This will minimize mucus draining into your throat which causes coughing at night. Facial steamers produce similar results outside the shower, directing the steam from hot water directly into your airways and lungs. Pour six cups of hot (almost boiling) water into a bowl. Make a tent over your head with a bath or hand towel. Place your nose and mouth over the bowl and inhale deeply.  Add three to four drop of eucalyptus oil to the water. Eucalyptus oil has both antibacterial and analgesic properties and acts as an expectorant, loosening phlegm that causes coughing. Add a few drops of peppermint oil to the steam to benefit from its soothing menthol agent. Professional facial steamers are also available at your local drugstore. Chest rubs, such as Vicks Vaporub, can help alleviate feelings of chest congestion via its menthol properties (the active agent in peppermint). Menthol can also reduce feelings of shortness of breath. Although the benefits from these products can be largely psychological, they can help alleviate the symptoms (but not the...

Article in English: Drugstore brands of hair dye are generally of a poorer quality than the ones you can get in a salon. Beauty supply shops allow you to buy professional-quality products and tools. Sally Beauty Supply is one of the most popular international beauty shops. Check to see if there's one — or one like it — in or near your city. Bleach powder comes in packets or tubs. If you plan on bleaching your hair more than once, a tub is usually cheaper in the long run. Cream developer reacts with the powder to bleach your hair. It comes in different volumes ranging from 10 to 40; the higher the volume, the quicker it will turn your hair blonde, but also the more damaging it will be.  Many stylists recommend using 10 to 20 volume. It will take longer for the mixture to lighten your hair, but it will also be much less damaging than using the higher volumes. If you have fine, fragile hair, use a 10-volume developer. For dark, coarse hair, a 30- or 40-volume developer might be necessary.  A 20-volume developer is your safest bet for effectiveness and gentleness, so if in doubt, choose that one! Toner is what will take your hair from yellow to white. Toners come in a variety of shades, including blue, silver and purple.  When choosing a toner, take your skin tone and hair color into consideration. If your hair is too golden, you’ll want a toner shade that’s opposite gold on the color wheel such as a blue or violet ash-based toner.  Some toners need to be mixed with developers before being applied to your hair, while others come ready to apply. Both can be equally effective. Red gold correctors often come in little packages that you can add to your bleaching mixture to help reduce brassiness; they aren’t absolutely necessary for getting white hair, but a lot of people swear by them.  Whether you need a red gold corrector will really depend on your hair. People with darker hair, or hair that contains red, orange, or pink tones may find red gold correctors particularly useful in getting their hair extra white. Unless you already have...

Article in English: Dry gangrene may be the result of the following factors:   Diabetes — This condition impedes blood flow, especially in the lower extremities, and can lead to a non-healing wound.   Vascular problems — Vascular problems, such as peripheral arterial disease (PAD), can reduce blood supply in the body. PAD, for example, occurs when the arteries of the heart or body narrow mainly due to atherosclerosis, which hardens the arteries and blood vessels.   Vasculitis — Vasculitis refers to a number of autoimmune conditions that cause the blood vessels to become inflamed, such as Raynaud's phenomenon. In this autoimmune disease, the blood vessels chiefly to the fingers and feet temporarily spasm (called a vasospasm), which in turn causes vasoconstriction, or a narrowing of the blood vessels. Triggers for Raynaud's include exposure to the cold and emotional stress.   Tobacco addiction — It can cause blockage of arteries and thus impair blood flow.  External injuries — Burns, accidents, wounds and surgeries can damage certain cells in the body which later on slows down blood supply. If the wounds are not treated appropriately and a major blood vessel is damaged or compromised, the vessel can no longer supply adequate blood to the surrounding tissues. This leads to inadequate oxygen supply to the affected body part and, as a result, the tissues surrounding it dies.  Frostbite — Exposure of extremities to very cold temperatures may block usual blood flow. In temperatures of freezing weather frostbite can occur in as little as 15 minutes. Frostbite principally affects the fingers and toes. For prevention, you can wear appropriately lined gloves and shoes to provide warmth and protection from moisture.  Infection — An untreated bacterial infection may consequently take over the affected tissue, resulting in its death and leading to gangrene. This is more common in wet gangrene. Gangrene may be classified into different categories, including:   Dry gangrene — This type is characterized by dry and withered skin with a brown to...

Article in English: Dry ice is very cold and should never be handled directly. Protective, insulated or leather gloves should be worn while handling the ice. An oven mitt or towel is also sufficient to protect your skin.  Prolonged direct contact to dry ice can freeze your skin cells and cause an injury similar to a burn.  If possible, use tongs to transfer the dry ice to different locations. Dry ice can be obtained in a pellet or block form. During production, the dry ice is in contact with many potential contaminants that can be hazardous to your health. For many applications, these contaminants are not hazardous as the items that are being kept cool will not be consumed.  If you are using the dry ice to keep your food cold, make sure that you get food grade dry ice that is contaminant free. Food that comes in direct contact with the dry ice is perfectly safe and can be consumed without worry. As dry ice warms up, it turns directly in the gas carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is what gives the fizz to a soda and is perfectly safe to consume in these small amounts. Do not put dry ice directly into drinks or food that will be consumed as this can cause severe burns to the mouth and throat. Dry ice is much colder than the temperature of your freezer or refrigerator. If possible, avoid having the food in direct contact with the dry ice, particularly in the refrigerator. Wrapping the dry ice in newspaper also adds an extra layer of insulation that can make the block last longer. Dry ice will freeze any food it comes in direct contact with. If you lose power and you don’t want to lose all of the food in your refrigerator, dry ice is the best way to keep your food from spoiling. It is particularly useful if you know you will not have power for a few days. The placement of the dry ice is important: in a freezer, the dry ice should be placed above the food. When using dry ice in the refrigerator, place the block at the bottom of the freezer.  Do not put dry ice in a functioning freezer or refrigerator. Because the dry ice is much colder...

A large container of Brylcreem typically costs less than $10 and has the potential to last you for months, making it as economical as it is effective. To ensure that the pomade isn’t being forced to compete with your hair’s natural oils, it’s best to start with a clean head of hair. Hop in the shower and lather up with a cleansing shampoo, then follow up with a protective, moisturizing conditioner. The key to a luxurious, eye-catching coif is, above all else, healthy hair. Brylcreem coats and holds best when applied to locks that aren’t bone-dry. As soon as you get out of the shower, towel off to soak up the excess water, but let a little bit of moisture remain. That way, you’ll have an easier time distributing the semi-solid cream.  It's a good idea to keep a spray bottle so that you can dampen your hair, as needed. This is particularly useful if you have hair that dries quickly. Make sure your hair isn’t overly wet. Trying to use a wax-based pomade on a waterlogged mane will just result in an oily mess. The volume and absorbency of dry hair, on the other hand, can make it nearly impossible to get the product to coat evenly. Classic Brylcreem has a soft, creamy consistency that makes layering it on a breeze, but if you’ve chosen a high-hold wax or paste variety, it may be necessary to heat it up to promote spreadability. You can get your product of choice primed and ready by blasting it briefly with a hairdryer, or by simply rubbing it between your palms for a few seconds. It may also help to store your Brylcreem in a warm place, such as the ledge of your shower.

Article in English: Due to the nature of dip pens and brush pens, you will need to reload the reservoir on the pen with ink after several letters or words. To put ink in the reservoir:  Hold the pen horizontally in your writing hand. Use your other hand to dip the eye dropper into the pen ink so there is several drops in the dropper. Apply ink from the dropper into the reservoir on the pen. Continue to hold the pen horizontally so you do not get any ink spots on your paper or your hands. Put the dropper on a saucer next to the ink. You will need to reload the pen again after a few minutes of writing. Test the ink-flow of the pen on a piece of scrap paper before you practice calligraphy on your main piece of paper. Low quality paper that is thin, like office paper, will cause your ink to bleed all over the paper and will likely ruin your calligraphy. Look for paper that is fountain pen friendly at your local craft store.  Most fountain pen friendly paper will be thicker and of higher quality to prevent ink bleeding or feathering. When you are first learning how to write calligraphy, you may want to use practice sheets with lines and margins. You can access a practice sheet here and print it out on thick paper. This will help you get used to writing within certain guidelines so that as you continue practice, you can write on calligraphy paper with no lines.

Article in English: During a panic attack, your body goes into a natural fight-or-flight response, just as if you were in a truly terrifying and dangerous situation, only no dangerous situation is actually occurring. Symptoms that are commonly experienced during a panic attack include:  Chest pain or discomfort Dizziness or faintness Fear of dying Fear of losing control or impending doom Feeling of choking Feeling of detachment Feeling of unreality Nausea or upset stomach Numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or face Palpitations, fast heart rate, or pounding heart Sweating, chills, or hot flashes Trembling or shaking Most panic attacks cause rapid and shallow breathing which fuels the attack, causing the symptoms to linger. By controlling your breathing, you can help to return your heart rate to normal, lower your blood pressure, slow the sweating, and re-establish a feeling of being in control.  One method to slow your breathing is to take a deep breath and hold it for as long as you can. This balances levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide and reduces the feeling that you cannot breathe. After holding your breath, then begin deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Breathe in slowly and deeply, then exhale even more slowly. To practice diaphragmatic breathing, try sitting in a chair with 1 hand on your chest and the other a little below your rib cage. Sit comfortably with bent knees, and relaxed shoulders and neck.  Next breathe in slowly through your nose and let your stomach expand, keeping your upper chest as still as possible. Slowly exhale, tightening your stomach muscles, and keep your upper chest still. The hand on your stomach area should move out as you inhale, then back in as you exhale, with the hand on your upper chest remaining as still as possible.  Another method is the 5-2-5 method. Inhale with your diaphragm for 5 seconds. Hold your breath for 2 seconds. Then exhale for 5 more seconds. Repeat 5 times.  Breathing into a paper bag is not routinely recommended anymore. It may not be as beneficial as was believed in the...

Article in English: During the healing process, it is important that you check-in regularly with your doctor. Let them know if you are progressing, or if you are having any issues. Let your doctor know that you want to be involved in figuring out the right treatment plan for you.  Discuss your choices. There might be alternative treatments that could help your condition, so make sure you know all of your options. For example, they may recommend lifestyle changes or alternative medicine, if that's what you prefer. The options available to you will depend on what's causing your symptoms. Talk about risks and benefits. Ask your doctor to explain their recommendations and weigh how they will affect you and your health. If you are healing emotionally, see a mental health professional, such as a licensed therapist. Counseling can help you deal with many issues, such as recovering from a loss or dealing with anxiety. Ask your primary care physician to recommend a reputable therapist.  You can also talk to your human resources (HR) department at work to find out if your company has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which may connect you with a therapist. In some cases, you may have to wait for an appointment. Don't be afraid to ask for a consultation when you are looking for a therapist. You want to make sure to find someone that you feel comfortable with. Ask lots of questions, such as which methods they use in therapy, and what their specialties are.

Article in English: During your annual gynecological exam, your doctor will check your breasts for lumps or abnormalities. If she detects something irregular, she might recommend that you have a mammogram.  If you do not have health insurance or funds to visit a doctor, there are likely resources in your area to help you get preventative care. Planned Parenthood offers consultation services and can direct you to a mammography provider.  If you do not know where to look for help, contact your local Department of Health or call the national cancer line at 1-800-4-CANCER. They can refer you to appropriate help for your situation. You could be eligible for cost-free or inexpensive mammograms. See the official US government listing of low-income clinics: http://www.findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/Search_HCC.aspx. Once she turns 40, a woman should get a mammogram every two years until she is 74.The earlier you detect breast cancer, the easier it will be to survive. You may have heard that a mammogram is painful, but the pain is momentary and no worse than getting a shot. Plus, it can save your life. If you are at high risk, talk to your doctor about how often you should get a mammogram. If you have a high risk and are under 40 years of age, it is possible your doctor will recommend a mammogram already. Paying attention and knowing your breasts well is the best thing you can do to detect symptoms of breast cancer. If you have any concerns about what you find in your BSEs, see a doctor immediately. Keep your friends and family healthy by arranging a party every year that culminates in everyone getting a mammogram together. This way you can remove the fear from the experience and help each other remember. Consider saying: “I know a lot of women don't get the mammograms because they're scary and they can hurt a bit, but I'd love to find a way that we can make it fun. Plus, we'll get some great girl time!”

Article in English: Dye is translucent. It adds color to whatever color is already there. For example, if you tried to dye a pair of blue shoes red or pink, you'll end up with purple. You also cannot dye shoes a lighter color. You can, however, dye any color of shoe black. This will protect the rubber from picking up the dye. If you want to dye the laces as well, you will still want to take them out; you will dip them into the dye bath along with the shoes. This will help them dye more evenly. Make sure that the bucket is deep enough to fit your shoe. The salt and laundry detergent will help make the dye brighter. Each company may be a little different, so follow the directions on your bottle or packet. In general, liquid dyes do not need any preparation. If you are using powdered dye, you will need to dissolve it in 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water first. If your shoes float to the top, you will need to weigh them down with something heavy. You can use glass jars or bottles, or even sticks. If you don't do this, they will float to the top and your dye job will be uneven.  Some people find that soaking the shoes in warm water first helps the dye soak in better and more evenly.  Dye can get messy. Consider wearing some plastic gloves to protect your hands from getting stained. This will give the dye enough time to soak into the fabric. Use warm water first to set the dye, and then cold water to get rid of the excess dye. Be sure to get the inside of the shoes as well. This is to get rid of any last traces of dye. Remember to rinse the inside of the shoes as well. If you can, set them out in a sunny spot. This will help them dry faster. If you don't have any newspaper, you can use an old towel or even a paper bag instead. If any dye leaked onto the shoes, you can remove it using rubbing alcohol or a bleach pen. You can also try a magic eraser or a paste made from equal parts of baking soda, water, and vinegar. If you are using a bleach pen, leave the bleach on the rubber parts for 10 minutes, then wipe it off with a damp...

Article in English: Dyslexia among children and young people is usually first recognized when they fall behind their peers in learning to read or in consistently reading below their age level. This is the primary indicator of dyslexia. Reading problems may include:  A delay in learning the connection between letters and sounds.  The confusion of small words like “at” and “to” or “does” and “goes”. Consistent reading, spelling, and writing errors, even after being shown the correct forms. Common errors include letter reversals (e.g., “d” for “b”); word reversals (e.g., "tip" for "pit"); inversions (e.g., “m” for “w” and “u” for “n”); transpositions (e.g., “felt” and “left”); substitutions (e.g., "house" and "home”).  Needing to read a short selection multiple times to comprehend it.  Trouble understanding age-appropriate concepts.  Trouble taking notes and predicting what will happen next in a story or sequence. The underlying cause of dyslexia is a problem with phonological processing, the ability to see or hear a word, break it down into discrete sounds, and then associate each sound with the letters that make up the word. Though this makes reading particularly difficult, it often also impacts children's ability to listen and speak clearly and correctly. Signs include:  Problems comprehending rapid instructions or recalling sequences of commands. Difficulty remembering what is heard. Difficulty putting thoughts into words. The child may also speak in halting sentences and leave sentences incomplete.  Garbled speech: wrong words or similar words substituted for what the child means. Difficulty making and comprehending rhymes. Because dyslexia includes problems with spatial organization, dyslexic children may also struggle with their motor skills. Common signs of problems with motor skills include:  Trouble with writing or copying. Their handwriting may also be illegible. Frequent confusion of left and right, over and under. Children with dyslexia often struggle in school, particularly as they see their peers reading and writing...

Article in English: Each Christmas light bulb has a "shunt" that is supposed to close the gap when the bulb burns out. This often fails, but a small surge of current can trigger this and put your lights back on. This will not work every time, especially with this DIY approach. If you're looking for quick results, try the methods above instead. This type of lighter has a piezoelectric crystal which creates a spark when pressed. Do not use the type with a metal wheel, which creates the spark through friction. If the lighter is disposable, just burn the fuel away. If the lighter is refillable, transfer the lighter fluid to another lighter, or to a sealed, clearly labeled fire-proof container. Never dispose of lighter fluid in a drain or in household trash. Pry apart the plastic cover, then lift out the igniter with a pair of needle nose pliers. The piezo igniter includes a button, and two tiny metal or plastic prongs. When the button is pressed, a spark jumps between these prongs. The spark is not dangerous, but it will give you a mild electric shock. More importantly, it could ignite fumes and light a small flame. Work over a nonflammable surface and keep your fingers and face away from the sparker during removal. Position the two prongs of the sparker against the two prongs of the Christmas light plug. Push the button about 10–20 times. You should hear a click and see a spark each time. If it's too hard to line up the prongs, connect them with insulated wires. If all went well, the lights should now light up. There will be one or two dead bulbs, which should be replaced as described below. Leaving the dead bulbs on will cause the other bulbs to burn out sooner.

Article in English: Each firewood cutting machine will be a little different, and knowing its features and proper operation procedure will ensure safe use. Always operate these machines with care, as a mistake can result in serious injury. Before starting the machine, you should make sure its track is clear of objects, that cover panels are in place, and that you are wearing the right safety equipment to be operating the machine. These machines often require:  Non-loose clothing Safety glasses Work Gloves Some firewood splitters will be powered as attachments to a tractor, others might be powered by electric or gas power sources. Do not leave fuel or a power line anywhere that you might trip over it, or anywhere it might become tangled in the components of the machine. Once you have read the manual, you'll know the loading procedure of the machine. This will give you a better idea of where to best position the wood for loading it into the hydraulic splitter. Accumulate your wood where most convenient for your machine. Start the machine and observe its normal running procedure, without adding any wood. Make sure it appears to be running smoothly and check operations against the manual. Follow the instructions in your manual for loading uncut and removing cut firewood from your machine. No matter what kind of machine you are using, once it is powered on, always exercise caution around the splitter of the machine.

Article in English: Each midwifery program has a different "personality." Some require a degree in nursing before the midwifery study begins, and others are more focused on the philosophical, political or spiritual aspects of the profession. Find a program that's right for you and start the application process.  The majority of midwives working in the United States today are Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs). This certification is recognized in all fifty states.  It is possible to become a midwife without also being a nurse and become a Certified Midwife (CM). This certification is only recognized by a few states. Choose the professional path that is right for you. Your personality is as important as your grades when it comes to getting into midwifery programs. Read books written by midwives and do research on the politics of the profession to inform your personal statement and essay. Demonstrate your passion for becoming a midwife. Explain why you think midwives play an important role in society today. This will include a set amount of courses, a clinical internship and, depending on the program, a degree in nursing. In most countries you are required by law to take and pass an examination in order to get a license to practice midwifery. You can look at hospitals, clinics, and birthing centers. Consider setting up a private practice.  In addition to practicing as a midwife, you can use your knowledge to work as an educator at the undergraduate or graduate level. Health policy is another popular choice for CNMs and CMs. Some midwives work at nonprofits or other organizations that provide advocacy for women making their own health decisions.

Article in English: Each of these mediums has enough tooth or texture to ensure that pastels adhere. For lighter sketch-like drawings, select papers with 90 gsm thickness. If you want to create something with a bolder palette, choose papers with 160 gsm thickness. A smooth paper will not properly stick to your pastels. Always choose a paper size that will fit your subject without leaving too much or too little space.  Don't use papers that contain acids, as they will lead to color shifting and brittleness. Use paper colors similar to your pastel colors to create a unifying, harmonious vibe. For example, choose a light-green pastel paper for a nature setting with lots of green shades. To experiment with different moods and atmospheres, select paper colors that contrast with your pastel colors. For example, if you're drawing a blue lake with a black night sky, choose a purple paper for a melancholy effect. Unlike other kinds of pastels, oil pastels are not offered by a variety of manufacturers—there are only a few that offer artist-level brands. For beginners, Van Gogh Extra-Fine Artist Oil Pastels are student-grade but with a degree of quality that is competitive with artist-grade brands. For artist-grade brands, try out the cheapest set or put together the palette of your choosing from the open stock selection.  Think about the kind of pictures you want to create and select colors to suit your ideas. Choose from open stock colors and put together a nice palette. Pastels can be purchased from art stores, online suppliers, and big-box stores. Harder brands are best for finer details like outlines and early layers, while softer brands are best for drawing over heavy, saturated layers of firm pastel. Artist-grade brands in order of hardest to softest are: Cray-Pas Specialist, Cretacolor Aqua Stic, Erengi Art Aspirer, Caran d’Ache Neopastel and Holbein, and Sennelier Oil Pastels.

Article in English: Each pasta shell should be a bit bigger than the palm of your hand. Just place the shells in boiling water and cook them over medium heat until they're firm but not too hard. Read the instructions on the package to see exactly how long they should be cooked. Drain and separate the shells when they're cooked.  In a large mixing bowl, add 3 cups (710 g.) of ricotta cheese, 1.5 cups (360 g.) of Parmesan cheese, 1/2 diced shallot, 2 tbsp. of chopped parsley, 4 chopped basil leaves, 1/2 minced garlic clove, and one generous squeeze of lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste and begin to mix the ingredients together.  If the stuffing seems too dry, add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cream and 1 to 2 tbsp. of olive oil to moisten it. Stir until the ingredients are incorporated. Pack them tightly. Hold each pasta shell by its edges and press them gently to open them up. Scoop in a generous portion of stuffing and squeeze the shell closed. Place the shell in an oven safe dish and repeat this process until all 15 shells are stuffed tightly. Pour 1.5 cups (360 ml) of marinara sauce over all the shells. Make sure to cover the edges because they can dry out easily. Be generous with the marinara sauce. Cover the marinara and shells with 1 cup (120 g.) of fresh mozzarella. Tear the mozzarella instead of grating it to allow the cheese to melt freely over the shells. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top to help with moisture. Bake them until the cheese is melted and golden brown. When they're done, remove them from the oven and let them harden and cool for a few minutes. Serve these tasty shells as a main course or serve them with a side of chicken or beef.

Article in English: Each person is different; therefore, you should discuss the different methods for treating LA with your doctor. He or she can help you determine what’s best for you. If you are not symptomatic, or if you have never had a blood clot in the past, you may not need any medical treatment. This therapy involves taking blood thinning medications such as warfarin, heparin, or low-dose aspirin, which help prevent blood clots. They work by inhibiting the production of vitamin K (responsible for blood clotting) in the liver. This increases the time the blood takes to clot. During this therapy, the level of anticoagulant in your blood will be monitored to determine how much, and for how long you need to continue the therapy. Some people only need to take medication for a few months, while others may have to manage the anticoagulants for their entire life.  If LA is still present after the initial therapy, the therapy is usually continued for at least three additional months before the next testing is done. If the result of the second post-therapy testing shows that the patient's blood no longer contains lupus anticoagulants, the therapy is discontinued. Steroids work by reducing the activity of the immune system. The immune system creates the lupus anticoagulant antibodies, and steroids can be used to suppress their production. If the activity of the immune system is suppressed or reduced, then the level of lupus anticoagulant antibodies will also decrease. Examples of steroids include cortisone, prednisone and methylprednisolone. Plasmapheresis is a process in which the liquid part of the blood, also known as plasma, which contains the lupus anticoagulant antibodies, is separated from the cells. A machine removes the affected plasma and replaces it with good plasma, or a plasma substitute that does not contain the antibodies. This is also known as plasma exchange.

Article in English: Each piece in a game of chess is valued differently depending on how powerful it is. Queens are the most powerful piece and are worth 9 points. Rooks are worth 5 points, bishops and knights are worth 3, and pawns are worth 1 point. Try to protect your more powerful pieces so you can use them later in the game.  The king's value is undefined as it cannot be captured. Compare the total value of all the pieces still on the board for each player to determine who has a material advantage. Point assessment is also useful when considering possible captures. For example, using pieces with a lower value to capture pieces with a higher value gives you more of an advantage. Every time your opponent makes a move, take some time to scan the board. Move pieces out of the way if your opponent is going to capture them next turn. Try catching the piece that’s threatening your piece or move one of your pieces to threaten a strong piece your opponent has.  It's okay to give up a piece in order to draw your opponent into a trap where you'll capture an even more valuable piece. Try to think several moves ahead to anticipate and counteract your opponent’s moves and stop any plans they’re making. Pieces near the center are at their most powerful since they have the most mobility and control. This forces your opponent to the sides of the board where they have fewer moves to choose from. Controlling the center helps you play more offensive and your opponent defensive.

Article in English: Each player can redeem his armies in whatever unit s/he wants (infantry, cavalry, or artillery), provided they all add up to the same number of armies. So if a player gets seven armies at the beginning of his turn, he can redeem them by getting either seven infantry pieces or by getting one cavalry piece and two infantry pieces (which add up to seven). At the beginning of each turn, players receive more armies.  The number of armies is determined by:  The number of territories you own. For every three countries, the player gets one army. For example, if you had 11 countries, you would receive 3 armies; if you had 22 countries, you would receive 7 armies. Turning in cards. Cards can be turned in when you have a three of a kind (e.g. all three cards have artillery pictures) or all three types of armies (soldier, cavalry, artillery). For the first set of cards you turn in, you receive 4 armies; 6 for the second; 8 for the third; 10 for the fourth; 12 for the fifth; 15 for the sixth; and for every additional set thereafter, 5 more armies than the previous set turned in. If you have 5 or more Risk cards at the beginning of a turn, you must turn at least one set of them in. Owning all the territories of a continent. For each continent that you completely dominate (no other enemy armies are present), you receive reinforcements. You receive 3 armies for Africa, 7 armies for Asia, 2 armies for Australia, 5 armies for Europe, 5 armies for North America and 2 armies for South America.

Article in English: Each species of orchid has a growth season – a time of the year when it will naturally bloom. If it currently isn’t the orchid’s growth season, it isn’t going to bloom. Most orchids, including the Phalaenopsis orchid, will experience the growth of new leaves during the summer months. Spikes and flower buds will appear in late fall and soon after it will bloom. It will continue to bloom until spring. The blooming season usually ends around mid-February.  The Phalaenopsis orchid usually blooms once every year. The blooms can last for several months. When the flowers fall off, a few more flowers might bloom from the same spike, but not always. If an orchid isn’t blooming, the reason is almost always because it’s not getting enough light. One of the best ways to figure out if your orchid is getting enough light is to check its leaf color. A healthy orchid getting the right amount of sun exposure will have bright green leaves. If the leaves are dark green, your orchid isn’t getting enough light. Move it to a brighter spot, like a south-facing window. If the leaves are reddish-green, the orchid is getting too much light. Move it to a less sunny spot, like an east or north-facing window. You will probably need to filter the light with a shade or curtain if you put a Phalaenopsis in a south-facing window. Moth orchids like a lot of light, but not direct light. If the stems and leaves appear wilted or shriveled, your orchid needs more water. You will always need to water more frequently when the orchid is actively blooming. During the resting period (when there are no blooms), water your orchid about once per week. During the active blooming phase, water it twice per week.  Increase watering when you see new shoots and roots appear on your orchid. Too much water can kill an orchid quickly. Never allow your orchid to sit in a soggy, water-logged pot. Most orchids, including Phalaenopsis, do not grow in regular soil. They need a growing medium that provides fast water drainage and good air circulation. A free-draining...

Article in English: Each sport has a specific set of rules that are designed to protect players from injury. If you are playing on a school team or in a league, there may be additional rules. For example, some football teams permit tackling, while others do not. No matter what the rules are, be sure you understand and follow them at all times. Rules typically prohibit dangerous maneuvers, such as headfirst sliding in baseball or checking in hockey. You risk not only getting injured if you disobey the rules, but also being penalized. Injuries are much more likely to happen if you do not use the proper technique for your sport. If you are unsure what the proper technique is, consult with a coach or personal trainer. This applies to training as well as to playing sports. It is quite easy to injure yourself while working out if you have bad form. Whether you are playing a sport competitively or just casually with some friends, you should always wear the proper protective gear for your sport. Each sport is different and has its own risks, so ask a coach or do research online if you are not sure what equipment you should be using.  Helmets are important for protecting your head while playing sports that involve physical contact or may cause falls, including football, hockey, skateboarding, and cycling. Cleats are special shoes that prevent falls when running on turf, and should be used when you are playing sports like football, soccer, and baseball. Some sports also require that you wear protective gear on your eyes, mouth, arms, and legs. Inspect all of your equipment for defects before using it. While pads and helmets may not be the most fashionable accessories, they are designed to protect the fragile body, so don't take any risks by not wearing them. You may be committed to your sport and not want to stop until the game is over, but sometimes it's best to slow it down to prevent injuries. Always listen to your body and be willing to take a break when you need to.  Give yourself a break when you're feeling fatigued. Injuries are...

Article in English: Each step consists of 2 main parts: a riser, which is the vertical part of the step, and the tread, which is the part you step on. Other important terms to know when building your stairs include:  The pitch line, an imaginary line that runs from the lip of the bottom stair to the lip of the topmost step. The “pitch” of the stairs is the angle between the base of the stairs and the pitch line. The rise, which is the total height of your staircase from its base to the topmost step. The run of your stairs, which is the depth of your stair measured from the front of your staircase to its back. The stringers of your stairs are the side supports to either side of each step. The measurements for your stringers will be used in the creation of your concrete forms. First, you'll need to find the total rise of your stairs, which can be found by measuring the total height from the planned base to the higher level/floor you are building up to. Then:  Measure the run of the steps by finding the distance between the frontmost and backmost part of the stair. Find the width of your stairs by measuring the distance between the leftmost and rightmost bounds of your planned steps. You can do this by finding the rise (total height from the bottom level to the top level) of your stairs and dividing that number by the riser height (the height of each step). Standard risers are between 6 to 8 in (15 to 20 cm). The building code in some states sets the maximum riser height at 8.25" (21 cm), but you should be sure to check your local building code to prevent building stairs that violate state code or local ordinances.  If this number comes out as a decimal, you must round up to the next whole number. If your stairs are built so the topmost tread is a step below the level/floor you are building up to, the number of treads you need will be 1 less than the number of risers. Otherwise, you will need an equal number of treads and risers. There are many online sites that offer simple step calculators to simplify this process. You should be...

Article in English: Each trail begins with a trailhead--a sign that generally states the name of the trail and the distance to the end (or how long the loop is.) Other trailhead, like those in national parks, will have a map of all of the other trails your trail connects to, as well as different things to look out for while hiking. If you cannot find a trailhead, you may not be at the right location. Ask someone for directions. Other trails might not have a trailhead--this fact will be specified in your trail guide. When you are out hiking, you will inevitably come across a fork in the road. Follow the trail markers that say your trail’s name. If there are no markers available (which is relatively rare) consult your map and look for cairns. Cairns are stacks of rocks that rangers make to show hikers the correct path to take. You may see small trails branching off from your trail. Do not follow these--often they are simply deer and other forest creature paths that will lead you into uncharted territory. Park rangers and trail maintenance people generally block off these sort of faux-trails by dragging fallen tree branches across the path. If you see a sign that says “Stay on the trail” you should--you guessed it--stay on the trail. It is more than likely that that sign is there because there is revegetation happening in the area. When too many people walk in areas other than the path, they can do serious damage to the vegetation. You will also most likely see a sign that says do not feed wild animals. This is really good advice, as feeding wild animals can hurt both you and the animals. Do not feed wild animals--no matter how cute they look. Hiking is not a race, but rather an activity that you can do at your own speed. Don’t be afraid to slow down if you are feeling tired. Drink water throughout your hike and sit down for a rest whenever you feel the need to do so. Be aware that when you are hiking, you are passing through the home of many different creatures--from the smallest bugs, to the biggest bears. Do not ever try to...

Article in English: Earlier in your cat’s life, you may have limited the amount of tasty morsels your cat ate so that she could maintain a healthy diet. Now that she is near the end of her life, why not indulge her a bit more? Spoil your cat with some tuna, such as tuna flakes or even tuna juice poured on top of her food.  Meat-based baby food,, such as turkey, is another type of tasty food to feed your dying cat. Since onions are toxic to cats, make sure the baby food does not contain any onion powder.  Gourmet cat food is another tasty food option for your cat.  Whichever tasty food you give her, make sure that it has a strong and appealing smell. Your cat probably won’t have a big appetite in her final days, but giving her food that is very aromatic may encourage her to eat at least a little bit. Not only may your cat be losing her appetite when she is dying, but she may also no longer have the physical ability to chew her food adequately. Therefore, you will need to make her food easier to eat. For dry food, you can soften it by soaking it in some water or mashing it.  Other than mashing dry food, you can grind it up in a blender. If you are feeding your cat baby food, you can mix it with some water to make it even softer. Warming up your cat’s food can make it easier and more appealing for her to eat.  Talk with your veterinarian if you are unsure what types of foods your cat can eat, and would want to eat, at the end of her life. Your cat, in her final stages of life, may not want to drink as much water as she used to. In addition, her body’s ‘thirst’ signal may not be working very well, so she may not even realize that she needs to hydrate herself. Keeping your dying cat well hydrated is key to keeping her comfortable.  Her water should be lukewarm instead of cold. If your cat is too weak or in too much pain to drink out of her water bowl, you will have to help her by gently supporting her head upright. She may not want to open her mouth willingly to drink the water, so you may have to give her water using a medicine...

Article in English: Early detection of breast cancer is vital. If you possess any high risk factors, be sure to perform regular BSEs. Seek a mammogram if you feel any lumps or are high risk and over age forty. Women are more likely than men to get breast cancer. Additionally, if you have had close relatives (e.g. mother, sister) with breast cancer, your chance of having breast cancer increases. There also are inherited gene mutations that predispose one to have a higher risk of breast cancer. These gene mutations are BRCA1 and BRCA2. Five to ten percent of breast cancer cases result from gene mutations.  In the United States, white women are most at risk of getting breast cancer.  Some ethnic groups are more prone to mutated BRCA genes. These include people of Norwegian, Icelandic, Dutch, and Ashkenazi Jewish descent. There are many traits of your health history that can impact your risk profile for breast cancer. Women who have had breast cancer in one breast are more likely to get it again. People who have undergone radiation to their chest area as a young child also carry a higher risk. Additionally, other medical facts, like your first period occurring at age 11 or younger, can increase risk. Starting menopause later than average is also a red flag. Taking hormonal therapy after starting menopause increases risk as does never having been pregnant. Obese people have a higher chance of getting breast cancer.  Women who consume three alcoholic beverages per week also are fifteen percent more likely to get breast cancer.Smokers and particularly women who started smoking prior to the birth of their first child also have an increased risk for breast cancer.

Article in English: Early prevention is crucial to the successful treatment of cancer.  Being aware of your risk profile can make you responsive to symptoms if and when they occur.  Below is list of known risk factors to be aware of:  Family history of testicular cancer. An undescended testicle (also called cryptorchidism). Three out of four cases of testicular cancer occur in an individual with an undescended testicle.  Intratubular Germ Cell Neoplasia (IGCN). Often called "carcinoma in situ" (CIS), IGCN occurs when cancer cells manifest in germ cells within the seminiferous tubules where these cells are formed. IGCN and CIS is uniform precursors to cancerous tumors of the testes and, in 90% of cases, is found in tissues surrounding a tumor.  Ethnicity. Studies in the US have shown that Caucasian men are more likely to get testicular cancer than other groups.   Previous Diagnosis.  If you have had and recovered from a prior testicular cancer diagnosis, you are at increased risk that the other testicle will be affected. Studies have shown that managing environmental risks like diet and exercise, as well as refraining from the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol, can help prevent carcinogenesis, the process by which healthy cells turn into cancerous ones. If you are at risk for testicular cancer, clinical trials are currently underway to broaden the variety of preventative therapies; however, available proactive drug regimens like chemoprevention have been shown to prevent the growth and/or re-occurrence of cancer.  Your doctor will know if this is option is right for you.

Article in English: Eat 500 calories above your BMR + any extra calories you burn during the day. If you eat too much you'll gain fat as well as muscle. You'll want to look as lean as possible. You'll want to eat 1 gram of protein per lean body mass each day. To find out what your body mass is, get a body fat measurement. Let's say your body fat percentage is 10%. That means you have 90% lean body mass. If you weigh 150 lbs that is 150 x .90 = 135 lbs of lean body mass, so you should eat 135 grams of protein every day. Carbohydrates have gotten a bad rap in recent years. Tons of fad diets proclaim their inherent ghoulishness and treat them like the boogeyman. In fact, carbohydrates are the building blocks of fuel for your body, and complex carbohydrates in particular can be good for your body, as they are metabolized a lot less quickly than simple carbohydrates. Stick mostly to healthy carbs, such as legumes, veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Stay away from less healthy carbs, such as processed foods, white breads, sugars, and fried foods. Like carbs, fats have been excoriated in recent years. The key is understanding what fats to put into your body. Whereas saturated fats — coming from chips and candy bars — and trans fats — coming from frozen or "fast" foods — aren't good for you, unsaturated fats and fatty acids are actually healthy when consumed in moderation.  Examples of unsaturated fats include: nuts, vegetable oils, olive oil, avocado Examples of fatty acids include: soybean oils, fish (mackerel, sardines, salmon, etc.), flaxseed, walnuts Find out your calorie requirements and estimate how many calories you burn during a day. Then shoot to exceed that calorie threshold in order to build muscle. Instead of eating one or two big meals during the day, try five or six smaller meals which include pre- and post-workout snacks. Sleep is not only essential for feeling relaxed and ready to hit the day in the morning — it's also essential for helping your body's muscles grow.

Article in English: Eating foods that you may have a sensitivity to can cause heartburn. Common heartburn causing foods include:  Citrus fruit Chocolate Tomatoes Garlic and onions Fatty foods can cause the sphincter separating your esophagus and stomach to stay open, which can cause heartburn. You should avoid fatty foods if you are struggling with heartburn. Spicy foods can also cause heartburn in a lot of individuals. Lay off the spices to help get rid of your heartburn. Food is not the only substance that can cause heartburn. Certain beverages can give you heartburn. Try to reduce the number of caffeinated beverages you drink to help alleviate heartburn. The pectin in the apple skin acts as a natural antacid. Bananas contain natural antacids. Try eating an apple or a ripe banana to help with heartburn. Since pregnancy causes many changes to your body, things that normally don’t bother you may cause you heartburn now. If you have heartburn a lot, try to figure out what foods are causing it. First, start with the common heartburn trigger foods. Then, start to look at the foods you eat just before a case of heartburn.  This may involve keeping track of foods that cause problems. Write down the foods you eat and see how you feel about one hour after eating. If the food you ate an hour ago is bothering you, you should eliminate that from your diet.  For example, if you have spaghetti and meatballs with tomato sauce for dinner and have heartburn within an hour, your trigger could be the spaghetti, the meatballs, or the tomato sauce.  Next time, eliminate the tomato sauce. If you have no heartburn, you know that the tomato sauce is the trigger. If you still have heartburn, it could be the pasta or the meatballs.  Next day, have some leftover pasta alone with no meatballs and no sauce.  If you have heartburn, the pasta should be eliminated from your diet. Large meals can lead to heartburn. To prevent this from happening, eat smaller amounts of food at any one time. This reduces the stress pressure on your stomach. Slowing down when...

Article in English: Eating nourishing, wholesome food when you are hungry helps you stay strong both mentally and physically — creating a good foundation for the healthy mindset needed to enjoy life. Try to eat mainly whole, unprocessed foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc. In addition, be sure to drink plenty of water each day. A good measure is to take your body weight in pounds and divide it in half: that's how much water you should drink each day in ounces. Example: if you weigh 180 pounds, you'll need to drink 90 ounces of water each day. Exercise has been shown to boost self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, and to improve sleep. Exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes, three times a week. If possible, try to exercise a little bit every day.  How often and how hard you exercise will depend on your own physical fitness and abilities; be sure to listen to your body and take it slow. If you are new to exercising and/or if you have any health concerns, consult your doctor to ensure that you follow an exercise routine that is safe for you. Studies have linked a lack of sleep to depression. You can help ward off depression by getting enough sleep: adults need 7 to 9 hours each night; teenagers need about 8.5 to 9.5 hours.  If you have trouble falling asleep, try creating a routine in which you go to bed and wake up at the same time each day. Another effective method of falling asleep is to progressively tense and relax your muscles, starting at your feet and working up to your head. This is called  Progressive Muscle Relaxation. If you have chronic insomnia, struggle with depression, or have some other ailment that impairs your ability to enjoy life, you may benefit from consulting a professional. Talk to your doctor about medications that may help you; see a psychologist or registered clinical counsellor. Remember, you deserve to enjoy life; not simply endure it. You're working on enjoying life, but you'll still have ups and downs. When you have a down day, allow yourself to feel it. Don't try to force yourself...

Article in English: Eating refined sugar causes a reaction called glycation, which is when the sugar in your bloodstream attaches to protein or lipid molecules and forms harmful molecules called advanced glycation end products (AGEs).  The more sugar you eat, the more of these AGEs you develop.  If you accumulate a lot of AGEs in your system, they begin to damage surrounding proteins like the collagen and elastin that keep your skin firm and elastic.  Some tips to help you cut back:  Glycation can also be caused if you eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, which also turn into glucose in your system.  That doesn’t mean stop eating fruits, just be mindful of your intake! Limit added sugar in your diet to no more than 10% of total calories, which is about the equivalent of six Hershey’s Kisses a day.  Be mindful of sugars hiding in prepared foods.  Always check the nutrition label on products to see how much sugar there is, keeping in mind that 4g is equal to 1 teaspoon of sugar. Avoid products that contain high fructose corn syrup, which is popular in sodas, flavored drinks, packaged breads, crackers, and other snacks. Having a protein-rich diet is important to detoxification, but it is also essential that you choose products that do not use hormones.

Article in English: Eating too fast or talking while eating causes you to swallow more air, which leads to flatulence and bloating.  Slow down and avoid talking with your mouth full.  Take smaller mouthfuls and remember to chew each bite approximately 20 times before swallowing. Taking smaller bites of vegetables and high-fiber foods, allows them to digest more easily when they have been chewed properly. Aside from eating too fast, there are several things that may cause you to swallow excess air while eating, drinking or chewing.  Avoid drinking through straws. They usually cause you to suck up and swallow air, especially when you reach the end of your drink. Avoid chewing gum and sucking on hard candies. Both of these actions tend to involve swallowing air.  Tighten your dentures. Loose dentures cause you to swallow excess air when eating and drinking. Stop smoking. When you inhale the smoke you are also inhaling air. Eating too much can overload your stomach and digestive system, causing flatulence and bloating.  Avoid overeating by eating your meals more slowly. It takes time for your brain to register that your stomach is full, so eating quickly makes it more likely that you will overeat before realizing that you are already full. Drink a glass of water before each meal. Sometimes you can mistake thirst for hunger, so drinking water helps you to avoid eating more food than you need. It also helps to keep you hydrated and can aid digestion. Put your food on smaller plates. By eating smaller plates, you are tricking your brain into thinking you are eating more food than you actually are, which can prevent you from going back for a second helping. Although it is very tempting to be lazy after a meal and just sit on the couch, getting some light exercise is actually very good for your digestion and will help you to avoid bloating.  Go for a brisk ten minute walk (or do some other form of moderately-strenuous physical activity) after a meal. This allows air bubbles to pass through your digestive tract more quickly, eliminating...
