Summarize the following:
Measure the distance between your armpits to your upper torso. Use a simple piece of string, a small-diameter rope, or a body strap. Cut two pieces of material to this length and see if they fit around your body. The chest strap should be leveled to your arm pit on your upper chest. Once you find a comfortable fit, seal the ends with a knot to prevent unraveling. You can also use Velcro to attach the chest strap. Measure and cut out two thin strings that will go over your shoulders and attach to the chest strap to hold it in place. Take a measurement while the chest strap is attached, then remove the chest strap to attach the shoulder straps. You can knot the straps in place or use velcro to secure the shoulder straps to the chest strap. Imagine the design of a bra to help construct this design. There are plenty of options for underarm guards or pads. You can either make your own pads or buy a pack of premade pads designed to attack the sweat. Use whatever product or design that fit your needs. Use a safety pin or tape to attach the underarm guards to the harness where it crosses under your armpits. The guards should fit snugly against your underarms without impeding circulation. The easiest way to put on the harness is to insert each arm as if pulling on a cut-off T-shirt. Put your head through the harness. Adjust the length of the shields as needed. Once you're satisfied with the placement of the guards and harness, put the rest of your clothing on. Determine if you can see the harness while fully clothed by looking in a mirror. One way to hide the harness is by wearing an under shirt over the harness and then wear an additional shirt. Loose fit clothing will also help conceal the harness. Give yourself at least one week to test the comfort of the harness before trying a new technique.

summary: Create a chest strap. Attach two shoulder straps. Acquire a pair of shields. Attach the guards to the harness. Put on the harness before your other clothing.

In all the studies that were done on foods, scientists were able to determine a specific list of foods that are low in phthalates. These are foods you should focus on in your diet to help you reduce your exposure to this chemical. Dairy products like low-fat milk and yogurt have low levels of phthalates as do eggs. Avoid high fat foods such as creams, whole milk, and fatty meats as much as possible. Among the grain group, pasta, rice and noodles consistently ranked lower in phthalates. In conventional fruits and vegetables, phthalates levels were very low; however, this is not true for conventional canned fruits, vegetables and pickles. Avoid canned or processed foods. Bottled water and other canned/bottled beverages were found to have low levels of phthalates. Although these foods are found to have low levels of phthalates, they are not completely free of them. In addition to focusing more on foods that are lower in phthalate levels, it's best to be aware of the foods that have high levels. Stay away from these foods to reduce your overall exposure: Studies have shown that phthalates were detectable at high levels in beef, poultry and pork. Specifically in poultry, levels were high in the skin. A few studies showed the phthalate level was lower in frozen meat and poultry. High levels of phthalates were detected in fats like butter, margarine, cooking oils and animal fats (like lard). Dairy items like heavy cream, ice cream and cheese had high to very high levels of phthalates. Studies have also shown that phthalates are particularly high in some packaged foods. Try to avoid these foods, especially for children, as you may be surprised at the concentration levels of phthalates. Studies have shown that children get exposed to the highest concentration of phthalates from common packaged goods. Since these chemicals have serious effects on infants and children, its important to avoid these foods. Scientist believe that part of the reason packaged foods in particular are so high in phthalates is that these chemicals are already present in the food in addition to the packaging. The phthalates can be transferred from the packaging to the food itself. Try to avoid packaged and processed foods (like cereals, crackers, and even infant formula). Make your own versions of you and your child's favorite items from scratch at home. Since studies have shown that phthalates are unfortunately found in many foods, the best way to avoid this chemical may be by purchasing and eating 100% organic items. 100% organic foods are strictly monitored by the USDA. The farmers and manufactures have to follow a very specific set of guidelines to make sure foods are not exposed to a variety of different pesticides or chemicals including phthalates. Since many synthetic pesticides that are sprayed onto fruits and vegetables contain phthalates, make sure to look for produce that's labeled 100% organic. Also consider purchasing 100% organic dairy and meat products. Phthalates seem to be attracted to fat and are found in high quantities in dairy products and meat products; however, DEHP, a toxic phthalate, has been found in certified organic dairy products. This may be because, even on small farms, milk is collected from cow's udders using plastic tubing.

summary: Choose foods that are naturally low in phthalates. Avoid foods known to be very high in phthalates. Avoid packaged foods. Choose 100% organic foods.

Summarize the following:
If you consume dietary fiber on a daily basis, your body will be able to push waste through your colon in an efficient manner, preventing it from building up in the small diverticulos sacs that develop. Fruits and vegetables are both very high in dietary fiber, along with beans, whole grains, and brown rice. These foods all have other natural benefits beyond preventing diverticulitis, making them helpful to add to your diet anyway. Don't begin eating fiber until after you've recovered from an episode of diverticulitis. Because the infection that causes diverticulitis is a result of harmful bodily bacteria, some doctors have theorized that eating more healthy bacteria (probiotics) can cleanse your colon and prevent an infection. Probiotics are typically found as live cultures in certain types of yogurt and help to cleanse your stomach and intestines of harmful bacteria, making you feel better when consumed on a regular basis. Water and other fluids, when consumed on a regular basis, have a hugely positive effect on nearly every aspect of your body's functioning. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water per day, as this will cleanse out harmful bacteria and help provide energy to your body . Healthy bowel habits can help prevent diverticulitis. Try to eat at the same times every day, and make sure you're drinking enough water. Also, avoid straining yourself during bowel movements or using enemas and laxatives, unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
summary: Eat a high-fiber diet. Consume more probiotics. Drink fluids regularly. Practice healthy bowel habits.
