Increased acidification of your blood can increase orexin levels. One of the easiest ways to increase the acidification of your blood is to exercise! Getting 30 minutes of exercise each day is good for your overall health and can also increase orexin levels. Interval training is a great way to increase orexin in your blood. If you can't commit to interval training, that's okay! As long as you exercise for 30 minutes every day, your orexin levels should increase. Leptin is a protein that can inhibit the production of orexin. Since leptin comes from fatty tissue in your body, losing weight can decrease the amount of leptin your body produces. Talk to your doctor about the healthiest way for you to lose weight. They can tell you how many calories you should be consuming each day and what sort of exercise is best. A good way to begin losing weight is through portion control. Instead of eating 2 or 3 helpings of each part of your meal, stick to 1 or 2. A nutritionist can also help you figure out what each portion should look like. Bright light therapy can help to increase the production of orexin in your body naturally. Sit by a bright light device for a few hours per day. You might find that you are less tired. You can find bright light devices from a lot of online retailers. Look for bright light devices that are meant for the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder. They're the same lights that will help increase orexin production.

Summary: Exercise for 30 minutes every day. Lose weight. Get a bright light.

After washing, pick up the garment and gently squeeze it with your hands. Avoid wringing or twisting it, since this can damage the fibers. Squeeze out as much water as possible before moving on. Clear out space on a flat surface, such as on a countertop, tile flooring, or in the bathtub. Choose a white towel to eliminate the chance of color bleeding and make sure it's freshly washed so it doesn't leave annoying lint on your clothing. Dry 1 piece of clothing at a time. Lay the clothing on top of the towel. Pat it by hand to help flatten it into shape. Start with 1 of the towel's ends. Roll the towel over and onto the clothing. Gently press down on the towel roll to squeeze as much water as possible out of the garment. If the towel becomes soaked, unroll it. Roll the clothing up in a different towel and squeeze out the remaining water.

Summary: Squeeze excess water out of the clothing. Lay a clean towel on a flat surface. Flatten the piece of clothing on the towel. Roll the towel to squeeze more water out of the clothing.

Drain the rice in a colander or cook uncovered at low heat for a few minutes to evaporate the water. Add a little more water (just to produce more steam) and cook covered for a few more minutes. Run cold water on the outside of the pot (be ready for steam clouds) to stop the rice cooking. Remove the good rice from the center. Use less water (a 1.5:1 or 1.75:1 ratio of water:rice) and/or reduce the cooking time. Boil the rice uncovered for half the necessary cooking time, then remove it from the heat entirely and cover with a tightly fitting lid. The steam should finish cooking the rice in 1015 minutes with no risk of burning.

Summary: Deal with rice that is ready to eat but with water still left. Revitalize rice that is still chewy and hard when it should be ready. Triage rice that has burned! Fix rice that always turns out too sticky or mushy. Fix rice that frequently burns.

To sweeten a drink without leaving sugar granules to sink in the glass, bartenders dissolve the sugar in water to make a simple syrup. You'll want to start with granulated sugar (or superfine/caster sugar, which will dissolve faster), but choosing the variety depends on your cocktail: White sugar creates a clear syrup, which won't discolor white spirits such as vodka and gin. Raw sugar has a rich, molasses flavor, excellent in many drinks based on whiskey, rum, or other dark spirits. Turbinado and demerara are two similar sugars commonly used in cocktails. If you're following mixing instructions that call for simple syrup, the author probably means 1 part sugar to 1 part water. Many bartenders prefer a "rich simple syrup" of 1.5 or 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. This lets you sweeten a cocktail with less syrup per drink, reducing the amount of water in the cocktail. A rich simple syrup also lasts longer in the fridge, up to several months. "Simple syrup" may refer to the 2:1 recipe in the UK. For more accuracy, weigh the ingredients on a kitchen scale to get the ratio you chose. If you don't have a kitchen scale, you can use measuring cups instead. Most cocktails use cup (30 mL) simple syrup or less. Most home mixers can safely start with 1 cup (240 mL) water, unless they have party plans. Turn the stove to medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has completely dissolved, with no granules visible. This usually only takes a few minutes, but a larger or more sugar-saturated batch may take longer. Don't let the mixture boil, as this will evaporate water and throw off your careful measurements. As soon as all the sugar has dissolved, remove the syrup from the heat. Let cool to room temperature before using. Simple syrup works wonders in practically any cocktail that calls for a sweetener. Here are a few examples: Long Island iced tea Any mojito recipe Daiquiri Holy Poli
Summary: Start with white or raw granulated sugar. Decide on a sugar:water ratio. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat slowly while stirring. Let cool. Use the syrup in cocktail recipes.
