Summarize the following:
Foods that are high in fat cause heartburn and reflux symptoms to flare up and become more severe. Additionally, spicy foods or foods with a lot of seasoning can also cause your symptoms to get worse. Try to avoid eating spicy or fatty foods so your heartburn or reflux doesn't get worse. Chocolate not only contains a lot of fat, but it also contains methylxanthine, which has been shown to relax your LES and cause heartburn in some people. High-fat foods can also cause you to gain weight, which can also make your symptoms worse. Spicy or pungent foods, such as peppers, raw onions, and garlic, can cause your LES to relax, allowing stomach acids back up into the esophagus. Citrus fruits and tomatoes (yes, tomatoes are fruits!) are high in acid, which can worsen your heartburn symptoms. If you have frequent acid reflux symptoms, try cutting out fruits that can cause them to flare up or get worse. Oranges, grapefruits, and orange juice are common triggers of heartburn symptoms. Tomato juice and tomatoes are also highly acidic and may trigger heartburn. Pineapple juice is highly acidic and may cause heartburn. Eating large meals can put extra pressure on your stomach, which can cause acid reflux symptoms. Eat smaller meals throughout the day to avoid putting pressure on your stomach. Wearing loose clothing can also help you avoid putting excess pressure on your stomach. It takes roughly 2 hours for your stomach to empty its contents into your intestines. Eating within 2-3 hours of lying down or going to sleep can cause heartburn. Stay upright for at least 2 hours after eating to avoid getting heartburn or causing your reflux symptoms to flare up. If your heartburn is worse at night, try elevating the head of your bed by 46 inches (1015cm), or use a wedge-shaped pillow to help you sleep in a semi-elevated position. Staying hydrated keeps you healthy in general and dilutes the acid in your stomach, which can keep it from building up and causing you discomfort. Alkaline water is water with a higher pH level and drinking it can improve acid reflux symptoms. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to stay properly hydrated. Drinks with a lower alcohol content such as beer, wine, and cider can cause your stomach to produce more acid, which can make your reflux symptoms worse. If you do plan to drink alcohol, drink in moderation and choose distilled alcohols such as vodka or gin to avoid worsening your symptoms. Don't drink more than 4 drinks in a 24 hour period to keep from overproducing stomach acid. Caffeine can cause your stomach to produce more acid, which can give you heartburn or make your reflux symptoms worse. Avoid drinking beverages or eating foods that contain caffeine to help minimize your symptoms.

summary: Stay away from high-fat and spicy foods. Avoid consuming high-acid fruits. Eat smaller meals to avoid putting extra pressure on your stomach. Wait at least 2 hours before you lie down after eating. Drink alkaline water to reduce your symptoms. Consume beer and wine in moderation to avoid overproducing acid. Avoid caffeinated beverages to reduce heartburn.

Summarize the following:
Many broilers are in a drawer under the stove, but some are in the oven itself. If this is the case, adjust your cooking rack so that the top of the broiling dish will be 48 inches (1020cm) from the top. The closer to the heat, the quicker the cook. For example, if you want a steak that is more well-done, put it closer to the broiler. For a medium to medium-rare steak, put it further from the heat. If your broiler is in the drawer below the stove, you won't need to make any adjustments. Most ovens will reach 550F (288C). Let your oven preheat for about 10 minutes with your broiler pan inside it. This will mimic the inside of an outdoor grill. The broiler is essentially an upside down grill, but the heat is coming from the top rather than the bottom. Put it on top of your stove and put your seasoned meat (and veggies!) into it. The broiling pan has grooves that will let the fat drip down so the meat doesn't cook in it. Leave the door to your oven slightly ajar. Most ovens will turn off the heating element once it reaches a certain temperature, which would interrupt your cooking cycle. Leaving the door cracked helps keep the hot air flowing the entire cooking time. Like on a grill, check on your meat and turn it once while it is cooking. Most dishes cook in 8-10 minutes, so flipping the meat at the 4-5 minute mark will help ensure that both sides cook evenly. If you are cooking vegetables, this is a good time to flip them, too. Chicken and medium-well to well cooked steaks should be at 160F (71C). A medium-rare to rare steak can be anywhere in the 135F (57C) range. Insert the meat thermometer so the tip is resting in the middle of your piece of meat. Let it stay there until the monitor registers the heat and stays at the same temperature for a few seconds. If the meat isn't done yet, put it back in the oven for another 2-3 minutes. This lets it keep cooking for a few minutes and will help it retain its juices. If you take the temperature again, you may notice it has increased. This is called "carry-over cooking" and is normal. Make sure to turn off your oven and broiler once your dish has grilled in the oven!
summary: Arrange your cooking racks if your broiler is in the oven. Preheat your oven to the highest temperature and turn on your broiler. Use oven mitts to remove your broiling pan after it has preheated. Place the broiling pan back in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the meat's temperature. Let your meat sit for 5-10 minutes on the stovetop before cutting into it.
