In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are finding that making minor changes in your diet or reducing your stress levels, for example, talk with your doctor to see if you have a health issue. This might be contributing to your low energy levels. It's a good idea to get annual medical check-ups to monitor your health. Your thyroid produces hormones that impact metabolism and growth. If your thyroid doesn't produce enough of this hormone (hypothyroidism), then your body is left feeling weak and tired all the time. Hypothyroidism commonly affects older adults (over the age of 60). Women are often prone to hypothyroidism during menopause. Anemia, or low iron levels in your body, can affect your energy level and leave you feeling drained. Ask your doctor to check your iron levels. She may prescribe iron supplements or increased intake of foods rich in iron (such as beef, chicken or other meats). Women are especially prone to being anemic, especially during pregnancy. There could be other health issues impacting your energy level. It may be something minor and immediately treatable, such as a urinary tract infection. If you think it may be something more serious, talk to your doctor. Depression and anxiety can contribute to reduced energy levels. If you feel depressed or anxious, consult your doctor or visit a therapist.
Summary: Visit your doctor if simple fixes don't work. Have your thyroid checked. Ask your doctor to check for anemia. Check for other health issues.

The type of fennel you choose to grow will depend on what part of the fennel plant you wish to use -- the bulb, the fronds or the seeds. Florence Fennel is grown for its bulbous stem, which can be eaten raw, grilled or baked. It is also possible to eat the thicker stalks which sprout from the bulb, as they are similar to celery. Herb fennel does not produce the same bulbous stem. It is grown for its delicate leaves, which are used as a herb. Herb fennel also produces seeds which have a licorice-like flavor (as does the rest of the plant) and are used for seasoning. The process for planting both varieties of fennel is the same. The seeds should be planted directly into the garden, around the time of the last spring frost. Plant the fennel seeds in fertile, well drained soil. If necessary, loosen the soil a little before planting and add in some compost and a little soil for drainage. Plant the seeds approximately ten inches apart and cover them with a light layer of soil, about 18 inch (0.3cm) deep. It's probably a good idea to plant a few more seeds than you need, then thin them out later. Plant the fennel far away from any dill or coriander -- these plants tend to cross-pollinate, which reduces seed production and affects the taste. You can use an almanac to determine when the last frost typically occurs in your area. If you prefer, you can plant the fennel seeds in containers approximately 4 weeks before the last spring frost. Once the seedlings have grown to height of 3 or 4 inches (7.6 or 10.2cm), you can harden them off in a cool greenhouse or cold frame before transplanting them to the garden. Alternatively, you can keep the fennel in a container. As fennel is a deep-rooted plant, it will require a container at last 12 inches (30.5cm) deep, filled with light soil with some added gravel for drainage. If you plant more than one fennel plant in a container of this size, it will be too crowded to produce a large bulb, but you will still be able to enjoy the leaves and seeds. Fennel grows best in full-sun. At first, you should water it regularly to keep the soil moist. Once it has established itself, you may only need to water it if there is a drought. Be careful not to overwater, as this may cause the roots to rot. There is no need to fertilize the soil during growing season. Once the bulb begins to form at the base of the stem, hill up the surrounding soil to cover it. This shades it from the sun and prevents it from turning green. This is known as "blanching", as it keeps the bulb white and sweet (which is only necessary if you intend to eat the bulb). Fennel is not usually affected by pests or disease, but occasionally you will spot aphids or whiteflies on the leaves. If so, you can use a pyrethrin-based insecticidal soap to get rid of them.

Q: Seasoning cast iron creates a seal over the metal, preventing rust and creating a nonstick surface. Some cast iron cookware comes pre-seasoned; read the packaging or ask a store clerk if you aren't sure about yours. If you've had your cast iron cookware for awhile and don't know if it came seasoned, it's best to take the steps to season it, just in case. Read How to Season a Cast Iron Skillet to learn the best technique for seasoning your cookware. Take care not to stack a wet pot or pan on top of the cast iron.
A: Make sure your cast iron is seasoned. Store the cast iron in a dry place.

Problem: Article: If you're unable to do an automatic code search and cannot enter the device code manually, try a Manual Code Search. Start by powering on the device that you want to control (e.g., your DVD player, stereo receiver). You'll only be able to use your RCA remote with devices that support remote control in the first place. If the device did not come with a remote, you likely won't be able to use your RCA remote to control it. Keep the remote pointed at the device during the code search process. For example, to program the remote for a DVD player, press the DVD button. The Power light will turn on. Continue to hold until the light turns off and then on again. Now your remote will try different codes in an attempt to turn off the device. Once the proper code is found (typically after about five seconds), the device will turn off. Do this only if the device did not turn off after five seconds. Pressing Play or Slow again will tell the remote to try the next batch of codes. Repeat this every five seconds until the device turns off. This should turn it back on again. You may have to press this multiple times to find the correct code. Once the device turns back on after pressing the Reverse button, you've found the correct code. Press Stop to lock it into your remote. Note: Universal remotes can be finicky, and you may need to start the process over if something goes wrong. Make sure you are keeping the remote pointed at the device, and that you follow each step exactly.
Summary:
Turn on the device you want to control. Point the remote at the device. Press and release the device button that matches the device you want to control. Press and hold the Power button on your device and your remote. Press the Play or Slow button on your remote. Press the Play or Slow button again. Press the Reverse or Skip Back button once the device turns off. Press Stop or OK to lock in your code.
