INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Uterine massage should be conducted at certain points of your menstrual cycle and avoided at others. Perform your uterine self-massage during the period of pre-ovulation and ovulation, when conditions are ideal for insemination. Avoid uterine massage if you are pregnant, or suspect that you might be, particularly during the first trimester. During menstrual days, it's recommended to perform lighter abdominal massages. Uterine massage for fertility should be conducted in largely the same way as postnatal uterus massage, if not slightly more intense due to the lack of pain and sensitivity. Use the flat of your hand and fingers to gently press and rub your abdomen in circular motions. Press gently on your abdomen, just above the pubic bone, and push upwards, gently but firmly, as if you move the uterus upwards. Repeat this motion 15 times. The massage should last approximately 5 minutes. If you are going to do a self uterine massage during menstrual days, perform a light circular massage with your fingertips around your lower belly area. This gentler massage may help with menstrual pain. To enhance your uterine massage, play tranquil music and use a calming scented oil (e.g. lavender) when massaging your abdomen. Stress can contribute to fertility problems and adversely affect your health, so any relaxation is beneficial in helping you conceive. Group your regular uterine massage together with other calming activities like yoga, light exercise, or journal-writing for additional benefits. For best results, give yourself regular uterine massages for a period of one to three months. Conducting the massage daily should reposition the uterus and clear any blockages preventing conception within this time frame. Regular massaging will also improve circulation, which will have benefits for your fertility and overall health. During menstrual days, opt for a gentler abdominal massage instead of a uterine massage. Maya abdominal massage has been used to increase fertility, improve digestion, ease menstrual cramps, and improve symptoms of menopause. Look online for massage therapists near you practicing Maya abdominal massage, which is gaining popularity. Schedule an appointment to fall between the end of your period and ovulation, as many practitioners of Maya abdominal massage will decline to conduct the massage when you are menstruating or may be pregnant. Before embarking on any fertility boosting measures, consult your doctor to ensure their safety. Your physician may give you a referral to a fertility specialist who can offer more comprehensive help in your attempts to conceive. You can also contact an organization like the American Society for Reproductive Medicine for more information about reputable fertility specialists in your area.

SUMMARY: Time your fertility self-massage. Gently massage your lower abdomen. Make the experience relaxing. Do self uterine massage for 1-3 months. Get a Maya abdominal massage. Consult a physician or fertility specialist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fiber-rich foods aid digestion in a variety of ways. Eating these foods can speed digestion by reducing constipation and maintaining general bowel health. By adding bulk to your stool, fiber-rich foods regulate digestion. They can also help reduce gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Fiber works by absorbing water, adding weight and mass to your stool. For this to work, adequate (and sometimes increased) water consumption is also needed. Otherwise, constipation can occur. Some high-fiber foods include whole-grain products, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Yogurt is a great natural source of probiotics, and other live cultures that are essential to digestion. The digestion benefits of yogurt are thought to come from the way that yogurt: Encourages the growth of good bacteria, due to its naturally occurring live cultures. Decreases the length of time it takes to recover from infections, as well as lessens the immune system response in people with irritable bowel syndrome. Speeds the time that food takes to go through the bowel. Ginger has been used for thousands of years as a digestive aid, and its popularity has continued to the present day. Ginger is thought to stimulate the release of enzymes in the digestive tract that increase the efficiency and ease of digestion. Ginger has been shown to increase muscle contractions in the stomach, helping to move food to the upper small intestine faster. Foods high in fat and fried foods can cause acid reflux and heartburn because they overwhelm the stomach's ability to properly break down its contents. Your stomach finds these foods hard to digest, and slows the entire digestive process. Examples of high-fat and fried foods include processed meats, french fries, ice cream, butter, and cheese. Spicy foods can irritate the throat and esophagus, leading to acid reflux and heartburn. Additionally, these foods can upset the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, slowing down digestion and causing diarrhea and other digestive ailments. Yogurt, in general, helps people. However, if you have any symptoms of lactose intolerance, yogurt should be avoided along with all other dairy products. Although the exact mechanism by which dairy causes indigestion and constipation is unknown, it can definitely hamper the digestion process. Intolerance to lactose can cause bloating, gas, and indigestion, all of which can be the result of slowed or impaired digestion. Red meat can make you constipated, and prevent the regular bowel movements necessary for speedy digestion. There are a variety of reasons for the negative effect of red meat on digestion. Red meat is high in fat, so the body takes longer to process it. Red meat is rich in iron, which can also lead to constipation.

SUMMARY: Eat high-fiber foods. Eat yogurt. Eat ginger. Choose low-fat foods and avoid fatty, fried foods. Choose mild foods and avoid extra spicy foods. Limit or avoid dairy products, except for yogurt. Limit or avoid red meat.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may find someone listed in a regular classified ad, from various sources on the Internet, or you may just meet a fellow collector at a gun show. In Texas, one private individual is allowed to sell a gun to another private individual, without further licensing, as long as each of them is a Texas resident and each is legally allowed to own a gun. Texas does not require a license just to own, to purchase, or to sell a gun privately. There are certain classifications of people who may not own a gun (minors, convicted felons, psychiatric patients), and it is up to the seller at least to ask if the buyer falls within one of these groups. For a private sale, in person, within the state boundaries of Texas, a license is not required. For personal safety, if you do not know the seller personally, you should take a friend along with you. A bill of sale is not required under Texas law, but it is a good idea, both for you and for the seller. A good bill of sale will include the name and address of both the seller and the buyer, along with a description of the gun and the sale price. In case the police ever show up asking about the gun, you can show by the bill of sale that you came by it lawfully, and you can identify the source. Most likely, the seller will have a bill of sale, or at least a blank form. You can find your own forms online at several sources like formsbirds.com, texasguntrader.com, or tidyforms.com. You should ask the seller before you get together what form of payment is acceptable. Most likely, a private individual is not going to be able to take a credit card, and carrying that much cash with you is dangerous.

SUMMARY:
Find someone with a gun you wish to purchase. Make arrangements to meet. Be prepared to complete a bill of sale for your purchase. Complete your purchase.
