Article in English: Clean your silver jewelry often, and clean it promptly after use. Silver jewelry that is frequently used rarely has tarnish problems. When tarnish is not yet present, or when it's just beginning to develop, simply wash your silver jewelry in warm (not hot) water with a gentle, phosphate-free detergent.  Prompt cleaning is especially important when the silver jewelry has been exposed to certain foods containing sulfur, or those which are acidic or salty. In particular, common foods such as table salt, eggs, some fruits, onions, mayonnaise, and vinegar are harmful to silver. In any case, wash your silver jewelry right away or at least rinse it well with warm water, and don't leave silver sitting in dishwater that may contain traces of these foods. It's a good idea to wash silver separately from your other silver pieces, like bowls or silverware, because metal sinks and utensils can scratch silver jewelry.  You should also avoid using rubber gloves when washing silver, as rubber corrodes silver jewelry. Stainless steel can also damage the finish if it comes into contact with your silver jewelry, so avoid putting it in the sink; use a bowl to wash it in instead. Beyond prompt and frequent cleaning, the best way to preserve your silver is to store it correctly. Make sure each piece is completely dry before storing it. You can buy special bags for storing silver jewelry that prevent them from getting tarnished. If you don't have the bags, use this technique:  Wrap each piece of silverware in acid-free tissue paper or anti-tarnish paper. You can also wrap pieces in flannel. Store the silver in a compartment separate from the rest of your jewelry. Never store silver jewelry where it can contact rubber, stainless steel, or paint.

Summary in Portuguese:

Limpe com frequência. Lave as peças separadamente. Armazene suas joias de prata corretamente.


Article in English: Cleaning is something everyone must do, but if you have cracked skin on your fingers, it can be painful. If you're cleaning the bathroom or washing dishes, rubber gloves can protect your cracked skin and keep your condition from getting worse.  Lined rubber gloves typically will be better for your skin. Rubber gloves can cause friction that makes dry, cracked skin worse. Make sure your gloves are completely dry on the inside before you put them on your hands. Liquid skin bandages work to seal deeper cracks and keep water and bacteria from penetrating the skin while it heals. You can buy these at any pharmacy or drug store or online.  Most liquid skin bandages come with an applicator. Wash your hands and dry them. You may want to wait a minute to make sure the skin is completely dry. Then use the applicator to paint the liquid skin bandage over the deeper crack. Give the liquid skin bandage a minute to dry. Pull on your skin gently to see if the edges of the skin along the crack move. If they do, apply an extra layer. Liquid skin bandages are waterproof and may last up to a week. Cold weather is often a cause of dry, cracked skin on fingers. Invest in a good pair of warm gloves and wear them whenever you're outside in temperatures below 36 °F (2 °C).  If possible, wash your hands and apply moisturizer before putting your gloves on. Wash your gloves at least once a week with non-fragranced detergent designed for sensitive skin.

Article in English: Clear communication will let your partner know how much you love them. Speaking from your experience is a way of sharing yourself so that your partner can hear it. You might say, "My heart goes pitter patter when you walk into the room" or "I think about you throughout my day, and each time I do, I smile." Say whatever is true.  Praise your spouse's talents and accomplishments. Figure out, if you haven't already, the ways in which your partner thinks they're unique or distinguished. Spend your time reinforcing those traits. If your husband fancies himself an intellectual, praise him for his smarts; if your wife fancies herself a fashionista, praise her for her style.  Get used to talking about feelings. Don't shy away from talking about what emotions you're going through. Dialogue about the emotions your partner is having. Share even inconsequential things that happened during your day, as it will make your partner feel more intimately involved in your life. Telling your partner the truth is a loving thing to do because it shows trust and respect. The truth doesn't have to be positive to be meaningful. It just needs to be true. Show your spouse unconditional love, but not unconditional acceptance. Always be willing to accept correction from your spouse too.This helps each of you develop and grow as better people and strengthen your relationship not build your relationship on a fantasy or falsehoods.  Don't raise your voice, used loaded words, or generalize using words like "always" and "constantly." These can make the truth sting more than it needs to. Don't be caught up into the cultural notion that to love is to never seek to help someone better himself or herself. Trust that your significant other actually wants you to tell them the truth. You should strive to encourage each other keep coming up with ways to better yourselves and your relationship. Use gracious words to point out your spouse's weaknesses and offer constructive suggestions on how to improve these things. If your spouse is especially...

Summary in Portuguese:


Article in English: Clear, established rules are important for changing your child’s behavior. By letting your child know exactly what you want, they know what is expected from them and there are no grey areas. You should also establish clear consequences for any rule breaking. Sit down with your child and talk about the new rules.   Don’t say, “You only get to play video games a few hours each day and not too late.” That is too vague. Instead, say, “On school days, you can play video games for one hour. You cannot play after 8 p.m.” Expect negative reactions. This is natural, especially if there were no boundaries before. There will likely be tantrums, harsh words, crying, pleading, or even threats. Remain calm. Ignore outbursts if possible, and reiterate consequences for behavior. Your child needs clear, defined consequences for breaking the rules. Make sure that when you set the rules, you give them consequences they understand. Don’t be vague with consequences because that will just cause confusion. For example, tell them, “If you don’t have any outbursts or act out when you turn off your video games, and if you don’t play after 8 p.m., you can continue playing for one hour each school day. If you give problems, play longer than an hour, or play after 8 p.m., you will lose your gaming privileges for the next day.” After you set limits and establish consequences, you must follow through. If you let your child get away with breaking rules without consequences, they will not take you seriously and not follow your rules. Make sure to stick to your word if your child breaks the rules.  Keep consequences consistent. It is tempting to suddenly get lenient if a child is sweet or come down hard if he is back-talking. But consequences should be predictable and clear. This does not mean you cannot change them, but do not do so without making it clear beforehand and not in an emotional moment. Remember that video games are not necessary for the health and well-being of your child--it can be entirely taken away. Sometimes parents forget...

Article in English: Clippers can get expensive, but in order to ensure that you get a consistent fade, you’ll need clippers that are powerful and reliable. A great pair of clippers will make all the difference.  Some popular and highly rated clippers are:  Oster Classic 76 Clipper w/ 2 Blades. Wahl Senior clippers. Andis Master clippers.   Make sure the clippers come with at least 5 different guard sizes. It's also a good idea to purchase a professional trimmer, which is used to line sideburns and clean up the areas around the ears, neck and forehead.  Ask your barber where he purchases his, or look around online. Even if you have new clippers, you should make sure that they are clean before oiling them. Your clipper set should come with a cleaning solution, but if you don’t have a cleaning solution you can use distilled white vinegar.  Make sure your clippers are unplugged and remove the blades. If you have a solution, spray the solution over your blades and let it sit before wiping off. If you are using distilled white vinegar put the blades to soak for a few minutes in a solution of vinegar. Avoid washing your clippers with soap and water as this can cause your blades to rust. Read the instructions that come with your clippers to see if you need to remove the blades for oiling, or if you can simply point them toward the bottom of a sink and drop oil onto them. After you've applied oil to the blades, wipe off any excess with a soft, dry cloth.  When oiling your clippers, you should make sure that you’ve brushed off any excess hair that might be in the blades. Turn your clippers on and drip the oil onto the blades, allowing the moving blades to become saturated. Run the blades for about 20 seconds. Thoroughly wipe the blades down, making sure that the tops of your blades are dry so hair doesn’t stick.

Article in English: Close your eyes and picture a goal that you have in mind. Let’s say you want to envision that you get a promotion at work. Imagine your brand new office with your name in gold-emblazoned letters on the door. Imagine the black, swivel chair behind your huge mahogany desk. Imagine the Renoir reproduction between your diplomas. Once you cover the big stuff, get smaller. Get down to the dust in the corners and the residue of the coffee in your mug. The way the light hits the carpeting as it peeks through the slats in the blinds. Nothing is going to improve when you feel lousy about yourself and your chances in life. So, instead of thinking, “I’m terrible at basketball; there’s no way I’ll improve,” think something like, “I’m not great now, but I’ll be much better in 6 months.” Then visualize yourself sinking some 3-point shots or dunking on the competition.  Visualization is sort of like hypnosis: if you don’t think it’ll work, it won’t. Thinking positively is the first step to making sure this visualization is actually effective. It’s the first step to making these desires a part of real life. Remember that life is just as much about the journey you take to reach your goals as it is about the destination you have in mind. Visualization can make the process of reaching your goal more enjoyable by keeping you focused and motivated, making it a positive addition to your life. After you have spent a moment, or a few days, visualizing your goal, make changes in your life to bring the goal about. Right before you perform the activity, task, or event that will achieve an outcome or an outcome toward your goal, focus clearly on the picture of the action you are about to make. Even if it’s something intangible like “make more money” and it’s applicable to the everyday, it can be used before going to work or each business possibility. For example, if you are trying to hit a baseball, picture hitting it clearly in your mind, stroke by stroke, at the right height and the right speed. Watch the ball being hit by your bat,...

Article in English: Coach offers a special formula for cleaning its fabric products. If you're worried about your purse, then you may feel comfortable using their official product. You can purchase the Signature C Fabric Cleaner online through Coach or Amazon, or you can purchase it from a retailer that sells Coach handbags. Use a white cloth to avoid accidentally staining your fabric. Your cloth should be damp but not soaked. Use the product sparingly. If you apply too much, it can create water rings on your handbag. Make circular movements as you apply the cleaner. If you are treating more than one spot, repeat the entire process for each spot. Don't apply cleaning product to more than one spot at once because it will dry on the fabric. You should just spot clean your purse. Blot away the cleaner until none remains on the bag. If your cloth becomes soapy, rinse it off in clean water so that the soap does not get back onto the bag. Continue to dab the fabric until the soap is gone. Hang your purse in a well-ventilated area so that the air can circulate around the wet spot(s). Make sure that your purse is completely dry before you use it again.

Article in English: Cockatiels need to consume a variety of nutrients and vitamins. The best way to accomplish this is to mix up your cockatiel’s diet. Be attentive to what your cockatiel eats and does not eat and follow its lead when designing your cocktail’s diet plan.  In addition to the base diet of pellets or seed, you should aim to feed your cockatiel some sort of fresh green daily. A couple of times a week supplement this with a second course of protein or carbohydrate. When serving either, limit the portion to a couple of very small, finely chopped pieces. In addition to your bird’s staples, which should be either seeds or pellets, you should serve a couple small pieces of a varied fresh food twice a day. There is a lot of controversy over whether seeds or commercially produced pellets are the best source of nutrients for cockatiels. Either way, you should make sure that you pick a mix that is specifically designed for cockatiels, because they have specific nutritional needs that differ from some other species of bird.  Cockatiel's are not inclined to overeat, so provide your pet birds with as many seeds or pellets as they are willing to eat. When you provide fresh food, which you should do once or twice daily, they will cut down on the amount of pellets or seeds that they eat. In general, cockatiels will eat approximately 15 grams of food per day.  To add some variety, consider providing pellets occasionally if your bird is on a seed diet, or seeds if it is on a pellet diet. Watch to make sure that your bird does not only pick out certain seeds that it likes. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies because your bird might only eat the ones that taste good and avoid the healthier ones. Your bird will need calcium to maintain its bone structure. To do this, provide it with dark, green vegetables like kale, cilantro, beet greens, turnip greens, bok choy, endive, chard, collard greens, and mustard greens.  Alternatively you can also provide your bird with a mineral block to snack on. Cockatiels cannot process lactose....

Article in English: Coconut flour is much more absorbent than wheat flour. That means that you usually need much less of it in a baking recipe. How much less depends on the recipe, but you may be using as little as a third of what you'd normally use. Because coconut flour has less protein than wheat flour, it can sometimes come off as a bit dense. Wheat flour produces gluten, which helps provide stretch and bite to baked goods. It can help to add in a bit of whey powder to your recipe when using coconut flour to help replace the gluten. Not every coconut flour is the same. Some are denser than others, making your recipes turn out differently. Pay attention to what the dough looks like before you bake it. It should be similar in consistency to a dough made with wheat flour. If it's not, you may need to adjust the recipe. Unlike recipes calling for wheat flour, you need to add a significant amount of liquid to dough using coconut flour. Usually, you'll use one part liquid to one part coconut flour. You can use water, coconut milk, milk, or any other liquid you think would go well with the recipe. Another way to avoid dryness is to add pureed fruits to your baked goods, such as applesauce or pumpkin. When baking with coconut flour, the texture of the finished product relies more heavily on the eggs than it does on the flour. That means you need to add extra eggs when baking with coconut flour. You may use as many as 6 eggs while only using 1/2 a cup (118 milliliters) of coconut flour. That is, you may decide you want to just substitute coconut flour in your favorite recipe. However, that's likely to end in disaster if you just substitute coconut flour for wheat flour one to one. It's better to use a recipe made for coconut flour that someone has already tested. Once you get the hang of baking with coconut flour, then you can start making changes to fit your needs. Looking for a good place to start? These coconut flour cupcakes are simple but delicious!

Article in English: Coconut oil has a high smoke point, so it is safe to cook with at high temperatures. This makes it a great choice for sautéeing your favorite vegetables or making stir fry. Let a few tablespoons (whatever your recipe calls for) of coconut oil melt in a pan and coat it well, then add your ingredients and season as desired. You can use coconut oil as you would any other to coat a pan and cook these foods. Put a few tablespoons (or whatever your recipe calls for) of coconut oil in a pan. Once it melts and heats, you are ready to pan-fry. You can coat vegetables in melted coconut oil and seasoning and roast as you normally would. A good start is to make coconut roasted broccoli.  Line a baking sheet with foil. Drizzle sheet with 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Add one head of broccoli, but into florets, or 12-16 frozen broccoli florets. Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil over the broccoli. Pour the juice of one lime over the broccoli. Season to taste, for example with Cajun salt, salt, and pepper. Toss gently. Roast at 375 degrees for 35 minutes. Coconut oil makes a great choice for making popcorn. Add coconut oil and popcorn together to a heavy-bottomed pan. Use enough coconut oil to coat the bottom of the pan, and use just enough kernels to make a single layer. Stir or shake to make sure the kernels are coated well with the coconut oil. Place the pan over medium heat and cover it. Listen for the kernels to start popping. As soon as the popping slows to intervals of a few seconds, remove from heat.

Article in English: Coconut oil has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Coconut oil should be your first ingredient, comprising about half of your oil base (about ½ cup). But coconut oil can also be stiff and difficult to work with, so you should think about using ½ cup of another oil as well. Excellent choices include olive oil, jojoba oil, or almond oil. Choose the dry herbs to use in your recipe. You will need 1/2 to 2/3 cup in total. These can be any combination of chamomile, calendula, comfrey, lavender, and/or plantain leaves. These can be purchased at many health food stores, specialty herb stores, or online.  Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties, making it soothing and healing for skin.  Calendula (or marigold) is anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. It increases blood flow to the affected area and promotes healing.  Comfrey is anti-inflammatory. It aids in the repair of wounds and accelerates skin healing.  Lavender is a natural antiseptic with soothing anti-inflammatory properties.  Plantain leaves are antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. In addition to your dried herbs, you may want to add 10 – 15 drops of tea tree oil, lavender oil, or both. Essential oils are highly potent plant essences that have been extracted, and they contain powerful healing properties. Both tea tree and lavender essential oils are powerful natural antiseptics, and both contain anti-inflammatory properties. Essential oils can be purchased at many health food stores, specialty herb stores, or online. The last crucial ingredient for homemade antibacterial ointment is beeswax (either grated or in the form of pellets). Two other optional ingredients include raw honey and witch hazel. All of these ingredients can be purchased at health food stores, specialty herb or holistic health shops, or online.  Beeswax is a skin protectant. It keeps irritants off the skin and allows air circulation into the injured area. It also helps your ointment maintain the proper consistency. Witch hazel is a natural antiseptic. It cleans the area and...

Article in English: Codependency, also known as relationship addiction, is an emotional and behavioral condition that can affect many different people. If you are a codependent person, you may avoid personal uncomfortable or strong emotions in favor of focusing on another person’s needs. In codependent relationships, you may focus solely on the well-being and needs of the other person in your relationship and completely ignore yourself, often to your own detriment. There are a certain set of behaviors that you will exhibit if you are codependent. Your may notice a few or all of these at one time or another throughout your life. These behaviors include:  A tendency to avoid conflict or uncomfortable emotions, or masking your emotions with passive aggressive expressions of anger or humor Taking responsibility for other people's actions or overcompensation for a partner’s actions Misconceptions that love means rescuing another person, which leads to constant thoughts of the other person’s needs Giving more than your share in the relationship Tendency to hang on to a relationship no matter what due to your personal feelings of loyalty to your partner, even though the relationship is harmful, usually to avoid feelings of abandonment Difficulty saying no or having guilt over being assertive Extreme preoccupation with the opinions of others or valuing their opinions over your own  Difficulty communicating, identifying your own needs, or making decisions  Feeling resentment over lack of acknowledgment for your personal efforts and self-sacrifice, which often lead to feelings of guilt If you aren't sure you are codependent based on your tendencies or behaviors, there are some questions you can ask yourself that can help reveal it. These questions include:  Does/has the person you live with ever hit or abused you in any way? Do you have trouble turning people down when they ask for help? Do you get overwhelmed by how much you have to do, but never take the time to ask for help? Do you ever doubt your own wants or needs? Or not believe in...

Article in English: Coffee isn’t just delicious; it’s also one of the healthiest drinks in the world apart from water. It is nearly calorie-free and filled with antioxidants, flavonoids, and other nutrients. The thing is, we tend to add all sorts of extras that inflate coffee’s calorie count and turn it into a nutritional pitfall.  Plain coffee has almost no calories. To make a healthier choice, order a basic cup of joe and limit the added calories that come in sugar and fat. These usually come from things like sugar packets, syrup, cream, whipped cream, or toppings. Order whatever size you like. The great thing about plain coffee is that you can have a large serving without a huge calorie count. A short black coffee (the smallest size) has 3 calories; a venti (the largest size) has 5. Espresso was pioneered in Italy. It’s is a kind of coffee that’s brewed by forcing boiling water through finely ground coffee beans and makes a strong, concentrated brew topped with foam or “crema.” While espresso forms the base of other coffee beverages like caffe latte, caffe macchiato, and cappuccino, when served plain it tastes great and is low in calories.  Order a single or double shot of plain espresso, or in Starbucks terms a “solo” or “doppio.” The first has 5 calories and the second 10. Be prepared for small portions sizes, however, as the shots will be smaller than your normal cup of brewed coffee. Caffe Americano is plain espresso, too, made by adding extra hot water to a single or double shot of espresso. It has a few more calories than brewed coffee (5 for a short, 25 for venti), but is still a good option. As far as “enhanced” coffees go, cappuccino and lattes fare well enough to be a treat if you want to order something special. Cappuccino is made by adding hot water and steamed milk foam to plain espresso. A latte is also espresso but with added steamed milk and a bit of foam on top.  A short cappuccino with regular milk has about 80 calories, which drops to 50 if you opt for non-fat or soy milk. A venti has 110, 120, and 150...

Article in English: Coffee or other types of caffeinated beverages  can give you a much-needed energy boost to get you through the night, especially if you pace your coffee drinking so that you don't crash heavily and painfully in those hours between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. which is when a lot of people fail.  Coffee takes about 15 to 30 minutes to kick in, but the benefits from it can last 3 to 4 hours. If you plan on drinking a cup of coffee every few hours, you'll keep pretty awake and energized. When you stop drinking your caffeinated drink, you will crash heavily. Avoid it either by spacing out coffee drinks or by utilizing other staying awake methods. If you don't want to drink caffeinated beverages, drink very cold water and sip on ice chips. The coldness can help to keep you awake and alert. To sleep, your body prefers to be at a slightly warm temperature, so if the temperature of your environment is comfortably warm and cozy, it'll be harder it will be to stay awake. Turn on a fan in your room, if you can, or open the windows.  If your environment is too warm and you can't cool it down enough, consider taking a cold shower. That will give you a boost of alertness. You can also apply cold compresses to your head and wrists.  The best temperature range for sleeping can vary by person. On average, most people sleep best between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18.3 and 22.2 degrees Celsius). Try a temperature just below that range, but if you're still getting drowsy, you could try playing around with the temperature more to see if you need the temperature even colder. Moving around and taking a break helps get your blood flowing and keeps you from feeling sleepy. Scientists found that exercising could be more effective than some medications for increasing energy and reducing fatigue (this does not mean that you should stop taking medication if you're on some).  Take breaks from your computer screen. Staring at your computer screen for hours and hours on end can cause eyestrain and make your sleepiness and fatigue worse. Relax your...

Article in English: Coffee tastes best when brewed right after the roast. Look for a “roasted on” date on the label, and get the freshest possible. Buy no more than two weeks’ worth of coffee at once, so it doesn’t go stale in your pantry. A vacuum-sealed, opaque bag keeps coffee fresher than other packaging. If you’re not a full-fledged coffee fanatic yet, start with a medium roast for coffee, or a dark roast if you’re making espresso. To explore more flavors, experiment with roasts ranging from mild light roasts to the darkest, charred beans. There are actually many degrees of roast that fit into “medium” and “dark,” so try several, comparing the color of the beans.  While extra-dark roasts have become “sophisticated,” many coffee lovers prefer a medium or medium dark roast that doesn’t scorch away the unique flavors of the bean. If you’re serious about finding your perfect cup, learn to roast your own beans. Once you’ve had some practice, you can make the freshest coffee possible with perfect control over the roast strength. Make sure your coffee manufacturer has nothing to hide. The label should state the type of bean (arabica or robusta) and the country of origin. A blend sourced from multiple countries may mean the manufacturer is choosing cost over quality, but there are certainly high-quality exceptions. The real danger sign is a label that doesn’t provide this information at all. In your quest for perfect beans, choose 100% arabica beans, or a blend with a small proportion of robusta if you enjoy more caffeine. Not all arabica beans are top notch, especially if sold as a dark roast, but the best examples are much tastier and less bitter than robusta. Exposure to air, light, heat, or moisture can ruin the flavor of your coffee beans. Kitchen supply stores sell a great solution: ceramic containers with a latch lid, lined with a rubber band. Sealed plastic tubs or zip-locked bags are okay, but not as airtight. Temperature changes cause flavorful liquids to condense and evaporate. Keep beans at room temperature, or in the...

Article in English: Cognitive distortions are negative or unrealistic thought patterns that can keep you feeling stressed or depressed. Your mind perceives reality in a distorted manner, leading to rumination or persistent obsessing over negative events or experiences. There are many cognitive distortions recognized in popular psychology. Some are listed below.  All-or-nothing, or black-and-white thinking- seeing everything in absolutes, either this or that no in-between (e.g. "If they do not love me, they must hate me.") Emotional reasoning- attaching your reality to your current emotional state (e.g. "I feel crappy today, so no one will want to be around me.") Labeling- identifying shortcomings excessively (e.g. "I'm a loser.") Jumping to conclusions- either mind-reading or predicting a negative future by fortune-telling (e.g. "I saw Chelsea today and she didn't speak to me. She must not be my friend anymore" or "I already know I will make myself look like a fool at the talent show.") Magnification- blowing things out of proportion (e.g. "I made an F on my English paper. I'm going to fail the class and have to take it over again.") Should statements- using "should," "ought to," "have to," or "must" in your self-talk (e.g. "I should have known better than to think he liked me.") One you learn what cognitive distortions are and how to identify them, you need to learn how to attack their logic. Doing this gives you power over your thoughts and teaches you to become a constant observer of what's going through your head. If you notice yourself playing into negative thought patterns, try the following strategies:  Start by examining the accuracy of your thoughts. For example, you say "No one likes me." You need to pay attention to see if this seems accurate or not in your life. Consider the evidence. Are you always alone? Do people purposely try to be with you sometimes? Do your friends and family ever comment about how they enjoy your company? Practice mindfulness. It's no fun to beat yourself about your thoughts. When you notice...

Article in English: Cold cut deli meat and cheese is standard in a lot of simple sandwiches since they’re easy to assemble. Try different deli meats, such as ham, turkey, or roast beef, to see what you like the best and layer a few slices on your bread. Then pick your favorite type of cheese to put on top of the meat. Spread mayonnaise or mustard on one of your bread slices and assemble your sandwich.  Some classic combinations you can try are ham or turkey with Swiss cheese, or roast beef and Cheddar. Toast the sandwich if you want to melt the cheese and heat the meat. Layer multiple slices of meat, cheese, toast, and vegetables to make a club sandwich. Cook 3-4 strips of bacon in a frying pan or in your oven until they’re crispy and set them on a paper towel to absorb some of the grease. Lightly toast your bread so it’s golden brown and crunchy. Place bacon, tomato, and lettuce on top one of the bread slices and put mayo on the top slice of your sandwich to finish your BLT.  Include avocado slices or use turkey bacon if you want to make your sandwich healthier. Try different kinds of bacon, such as maple-infused or hickory smoked, to change the flavor of your BLT. Start by cooking the bacon in a frying pan or in your oven until the strips are crispy. Either fry your eggs or scramble them so it’s easier to put on your sandwich. Toast your bread and layer the bacon and eggs on the bottom. Top your sandwich with cheese and mayonnaise to finish it so you can enjoy breakfast.  Put vegetables, like tomatoes, onions, or peppers, in your eggs to make your sandwich have a fresh flavor. Use a biscuit or an English muffin instead of bread if you want your sandwich to feel more like a breakfast meal. Cut 2 slices of rye or pumpernickel bread and spread butter on them. Set one of the slices buttered side down in a pan, and layer slices of corned beef and Swiss cheese on top of the slice. Spread sauerkraut and Russian dressing on top of the meat and cheese before topping it with the other slice of bread. Heat the sandwich over medium-low...

Article in English: Cold sores are very contagious and can be spread even in the early stages of an outbreak, before a blister develops. The virus can spread from person to person through shared utensils, razors, and towels or through kissing. Oral sex can also spread herpes. HSV-1 can spread to the genital area, and HSV-2 can spread to the lips. The herpes virus uses the amino acid arginine to grow and replicate. When you take in a lot of arginine through your food, your body is more vulnerable to attacks from the virus. As a result, you will have more frequent cold sore outbreaks. Avoid the following arginine-rich foods:  Chocolate Nuts Peanuts Seeds Cereal grains Even when you're not having an outbreak, it's a good idea to take a daily lysine supplement to prevent future outbreaks. 1 – 3 grams of lysine supplement may reduce the number and severity of herpes outbreaks. You can also make a point to work foods that naturally contain large amounts of lysine into your regular diet:  Fish Chicken Beef Lamb Milk Cheese Beans. Though the virus works differently from person to person, there are common triggers known to cause herpes outbreaks. By reducing these triggers (if you can), you may experience fewer outbreaks:  Viral fever Hormonal changes, such as menstrual periods or pregnancy Changes in your immune system, like severe burns, chemotherapy, or anti-rejection drugs after organ transplants  Stress Fatigue Exposure to sun and wind The healthier your body is as a whole, the better it will be able to suppress the virus, thus reducing the frequency of outbreaks.  Eat a healthy diet with foods rich in lysine. Reduce your intake of arginine-rich foods. Sleep at least 8 hours each night. Exercise each day to help reduce stress levels. Take vitamin supplements to reduce your risk of developing a viral fever. Wear protection on your lips when you're out in the sun.
