Problem: Article: These nutrition experts will be able to give you more specific recommendations about your calorie needs. They will also be able to tell you how to use your daily calorie needs to help manage your health. It is especially important to meet with a dietitian if you have any health conditions or medical issues that need to be taken into account. You may need to look up local dietitians online or ask your primary care physician for a referral to a local dietitian. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has a "Find an Expert" feature on their website to help you search. Many dietitians have different focus areas. If you're interested in a specific topic - like weight loss, eating for athletic performance or managing chronic health conditions - look for dietitians that focus in that specialty. Many people want to figure out how many calories they burn each day to help them lose weight. Adjust your recommended intake to help support your goal. If you want to lose weight, it's typically recommended to cut out about 500 calories daily to result in safe weight loss (losing 1-2 pounds weekly). Cutting out more calories is typically not recommended. If you don't eat enough your weight loss may slow and you're at a higher risk for nutrient deficiencies. If you and your doctor or dietitian decide that you need to gain weight, you can also use your total daily calorie needs to help you gain weight. Health professionals recommended consuming an extra 250-500 calories daily. This will result in about 1/2-1 pound weight gain each week. To maintain your weight, try to keep calories within the range predicted by your calculations. If you notice unwanted weight loss or weight gain, revisit your total caloric intake and adjust as necessary.
Summary: Make an appointment with a registered dietitian. Use your total calorie needs to lose weight. Add calories to gain weight.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Aloe vera juice can help to neutralize the acid in your stomach, so you may find it helpful to drink a cup or two of aloe vera juice each day. You can find aloe vera juice in a health food store or a well-stocked grocery store. Keep in mind that aloe vera juice has a mild laxative effect, so you may want to start with just half of a cup to see how your body responds to it. Fennel can help to reduce stomach acid and settle your stomach, so it might help you to cure your stomach pain. Try drinking two to three cups of fennel tea per day about 20 minutes before you eat. To make fennel tea, crush about a teaspoon of fennel seeds and add a cup of boiled water. Steep the seeds in the water for about five minutes and then strain the water. Mustard has anti-inflammatory and antacid effects, so it is a great dietary addition if you suffer from these types of stomach pain. Try adding a tablespoon of good mustard to a sandwich each day to get more mustard into your diet. Chamomile and ginger tea may help to calm your stomach and they also have anti-inflammatory effects. You can buy chamomile and ginger tea in most grocery stores. Try drinking a cup of chamomile or ginger tea after meals to help soothe your stomach and relieve stomach pain. DGL tablets may help to control stomach acid. DGL tablets may also provide some relief for stomach pain by increasing mucous production in your stomach. The mucous acts as a soothing coating for your stomach. You can find DGL tablets in a health food store or well-stocked grocery store. Make sure that you check with your doctor before taking DGL tablets and follow the manufacturer's instructions as well. A common dosage for DGL tablets is two to three tablets every four to six hours. Slippery elm can soothe and coat your stomach as well, which may also help to relieve stomach pain. You can take slippery elm as a liquid supplement or as a tablet. Check with your doctor before taking slippery elm and follow the manufacturer's instructions as well.

SUMMARY: Try aloe vera juice. Drink some fennel tea. Eat more mustard. Sip some chamomile or ginger tea. Take deglycyrrhizinated licorice root (DGL) chewable tablets. Try some slippery elm.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you do this, the leaves will start to turn yellow, which means the plant is entering a state of dormancy. This happens once a year, usually in winter. The dormancy phase gives the plant time to rest and recoup its energy for next season. Place the bulb on a wire cooling rack to provide airflow all around it. Leave the bulb out to dry for at least 12 hours, and up to 48. You want the bulb to be completely dry before you put it into storage for the winter.
Summary: Stop watering and feeding when the flowers die. Dry the bulb overnight.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You will need a prescription from within the last year to order contacts, so always ask your eye doctor for a copy after an exam. If you are considering trying to order contacts without an up-to-date prescription, know that online sellers are required to contact your doctor to verify your prescription. If they will, this offers the best of both worlds. You can purchase your contacts from your doctor and often pick them up the same day, while saving the same amount of money you would shopping online. Your eye doctor will usually be able to give you at least a pair of free contacts. Be sure to look online before your appointment, as you can sometimes find coupons online that are redeemable at your eye doctor for an entire box of contacts. Comfort and quality of vision are a main concern when buying contacts, but it is worth asking your eye doctor if there is a comparable, less expensive brand that you can try. Stores like Costco, Walmart, and Sam's Club have vision centers that can perform exams and sell contacts, often for less than your eye doctor. They also carry many contacts in stock, meaning you won't have to wait on shipping, as you would for an online provider. Online coupon sites offer up to 70% off on certain brands, and big-box stores and national eye care chains also frequently accept coupons. Vision insurance companies like VSP also regularly offer discounts and rebates on top brands, so be sure to check with your insurance before purchasing contacts. And don't forget to look for coupons for saline solution. Saving 2 or 3 dollars every time you buy a bottle can really add up by the end of the year. There are many websites that sell contacts for less than your doctor might, particularly if you buy in bulk. But you will want to make sure you are not only saving money, but also buying from a reputable company that can offer customer service or returns, if necessary. You want to be sure that the online seller you choose is capable of shipping your prescription quickly, and of handling returns if necessary. Before ordering, make sure: Customer service is available. This means you can get in contact with a live person if you need help or want to inquire about returns or shipping delays. Try their number before ordering. If you get an answering machine, you are likely dealing with a back-room operation. You know how quickly your order will ship. Smaller companies may take longer to deliver because they only stock the most common prescriptions. They offer returns. If you buy a year's supply of contacts and your prescription changes or your eye doctor recommends a different brand, you'll want to be able to return unopened boxes for credit. The ordering process is secure. The URL at the top of your browser should begin with https:// rather than http:// on any page that you enter personal information. The bureau can inform you of any complaints against a company and how they were resolved. There are many online sites that will compare prices from multiple seller, including Google Shopping, BizRate, PriceGrabber, Shopping.com and Yahoo! Shopping. When considering the price, be sure to: Include shipping and handling fees. Try entering large quantities in order to reduce shipping costs, but be sure to check the expiration date. Make sure you will be able to use all of your contacts before they expire. They may cost more than you think, due to exchange rates and possible import duties. Also, you will have fewer consumer rights if something goes wrong.
Summary:
Keep a copy of your prescription. Ask if your eye doctor will match online prices. Get a trial sample of contacts from your doctor. Try a cheaper brand. Consider a big-box retailer. Use coupons. Check online. Make sure the company is reputable. Check with the Better Business Bureau if you are still concerned. Compare prices online. Be cautious buying contacts from overseas.
