system: How can I prevent groin pulls?
output: And if you get further groin pulls, they may be harder to treat and take longer to heal. You should: Always warm up your legs and groin muscles before physical activity. A light jog or other activities to increase body temperature have been shown to reduce risk of muscle stains. Wear shoes with good support that fit well. Always increase the intensity of your physical activity slowly -- no more than a 10% increase a week. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your groin or the inside of your thigh. Do regular strengthening exercises for your thigh muscles, especially if you've had a groin pull before. Groin injuries can result from added stress due to weakness elsewhere. If involved in athletics and you have a history of groin injuries, ask your medical professional about activities that can help reduce your risk.

output: Cyclothymia -- or cyclothymic disorder -- is a relatively mild mood disorder. In cyclothymic disorder, moods swing between short periods of mild depression and hypomania, an elevated mood.

system: How much chondroitin should you take?
output: If you're interested in using chondroitin for arthritis pain, talk to your doctor about the latest evidence. Since chondroitin is not an established treatment, the ideal dosage is uncertain.

Some initial reports that chondroitin may affect blood sugar levels in people with diabetes have not been shown to be true in larger, more recent research studies. Also, because chondroitin is derived from animal sources, there are some concerns about contamination.
system: Why do people take chondroitin?
output: As an osteoarthritis treatment, chondroitin is often used along with another supplement, glucosamine. The evidence that chondroitin helps with osteoarthritis is mixed. A number of studies seemed to show that it is effective. Researchers found that chondroitin appeared to reduce pain, increase joint mobility, and decrease the need for painkillers.
