Doing so will help you evaluate which foods are causing you particular digestive problems. Different foods are triggers for different people, but pay special attention to common gas-causing foods such as beans, peas, whole grains, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, asparagus, and onions. If dairy products are causing you problems, try replacing regular dairy products with lactose-free milk or other calcium-rich foods. You may also try consuming dairy products with active cultures such as yogurt or kefir. These cultures aid in digestion. Avoid consuming fried or fatty foods or artificial sweeteners. Consider adding a fermented food such as kimchee or sauerkraut to your diet. The beneficial bacteria in these foods can aid in digestion. Keep in mind that you won't want to eliminate all gas-causing foods from your diet. Consuming adequate fiber and a variety of nutrient-rich foods is vital during pregnancy and helps prevent constipation, which is another big problem in pregnancy. Noting which foods cause you the greatest problems, however, will help you plan your diet. You may opt, for example, to avoid problem foods when out in public or before an important meeting. Staying hydrated will help you eliminate constipation, which can cause additional gas and bloating. Drink from a glass without using a straw to ensure you avoid sucking in excess air. Minimize your consumption of carbonated drinks to avoid ingesting gas bubbles. While you need to consume additional food overall during pregnancy, your slower digestive system may not be able to tolerate as much food at one time as it used to. Smaller, more frequent meals will help you ensure your digestive system does not become overloaded. A majority of gas is produced when bacteria in your large intestine break down food that has not been digested thoroughly by the enzymes in your stomach. Breaking down your food by chewing will lessen the load on your intestinal bacteria and reduce your gas production. Although foods that contain fiber may cause you to produce more gas, they will also help to ensure that you have regular bowel movements, which may help with gas. Maintaining good bowel health during pregnancy is also important to avoid constipation. Make sure to include some god sources of fiber in your diet, like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Aim for 25 to 30 grams of fiber every day to help prevent constipation and promote regular bowel movements.

Summary: Keep a food diary to track the foods you eat daily. Drink plenty of water. Eat smaller meals more frequently. Eat slowly and chew your food thoroughly. Get 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily for regular bowel movements.

Deep conditioners all have the same goal: to repair chronically dry/damaged hair. Therefore, there aren't too many 'types' of deep conditioners to choose from, just different brands. Find a deep conditioner that meets your hair and budget needs. Rinse through your hair with warm or cool water (the colder the better). You can choose to shampoo your hair first if you would like, but all you really need to do is to get all of your hair wet. When you're finished wring it out, removing as much extra water as you can. Scoop some of the conditioner out of the container with your hands, and apply a thick coating to your entire head. Focus most of the conditioner on the ends of your hair, but feel free to spread it all the way to your roots. Be sure to separate any large chunks of hair so that each strand gets a thorough coating. Apply a shower cap to your head to keep your hair off your clothes/away from your face. Follow the directions for your specific conditioner, and leave it to cure. Typically, it should take between 20-30 minutes for the conditioner to work its magic. If you want an added boost, you can set your hairdryer on 'warm' and heat up the conditioner as it sets. Remove the shower cap, and turn your water on as cold as you can handle it. Spend 3-5 minutes rinsing out all of the deep conditioner, being careful not to leave any extra to set in your hair. When your hair no longer feels 'slimy', you've likely removed all of the conditioner. At this point you are free to dry and style your hair as you wish.

Summary: Choose a deep conditioner. Wet your hair. Apply the deep conditioner. Wait for it to set. Wash out the deep conditioner.

Nuts and bolts should regularly be examined to ensure that they are not loose. It's important to check that the nuts that attach your wheels to the axl are securely fastened. These nuts should be tightened to the point where they can no longer turn (but not hinder the ability for wheels to move). You should tighten these bolts with a Phillips Head Screwdriver or a Socket Wrench. These are the metal pieces that keep your wheels in place and they are secured by the kingpin bolt. Turn your board upside down, and adjust the nut in the middle of each truck counter clockwise with a half of a quarter turn to tighten it. The tighter your kingpin bolt, the more security you will have when skating. If you are a beginner, keep those trucks tightly bolted. If you are unsure about how to adjust your trucks by maneuvering the kingpin bolt, visit your local skate shop with your board, and ask them to show you. Whether you're a professional skater or a novice to the sport, protective gear is essential if you want to skate safely. Wearing a helmet might not earn you cool points, but it will keep you safe and even protect you from getting a concussion if you fall and land on your head. It's best to protect all areas that are exposed, including your head, knees, and wrists. Wrist pads, gloves, knee pads, and helmets are a good place to start if you want to purchase protective gear. They won't stop you from skids and falls, but they will protect exposed parts and prevent more serious injuries. Helmets should have a buckle strap and fit around your head snugly. Be sure to get a helmet that is specifically made for skateboarders.

Summary: Safety check your board before riding it. Adjust the trucks. Wear protective gear.

Toe dislocations are a relatively common consequence of foot trauma, whether it's accidental (such as stubbing your toe) or intentional (such as kicking a soccer ball). A dislocated toe is certainly painful and looks misaligned, but it doesn't usually involve a fracture. Realigning the dislocated toe with some sort of manual procedure or adjustment (practiced by medical doctors, podiatrists and chiropractors), is the most appropriate treatment. Pain relief often follows immediately after treatment. Dislocations don't often spontaneously realign without intervention from a health professional. The longer a joint is dislocated, the greater the chance of permanent ligament and/or tendon damage, so getting treatment soon after injury is important. Once your toe joint is realigned again, it's important to support it with a splint or strong medical tape because the ligaments and tendons that keep the joint straight may be temporarily stretched or weakened. As a consequence, the newly straightened toe may be somewhat unstable for a few days until the connective tissues can strengthen. Consider making your own splint with popsicle sticks and trainer's tape. Shortly after your dislocated toe has been realigned and stabilized, you should strengthen it with specific exercises. Towel curls (using your toes to crumple up or pick up a towel from the floor) and marble pick-ups (picking up marbles from the floor with your toes) work well for strengthening the tendons and muscles of your toes and foot. Talk to your doctor before beginning a toe exercise routine, especially if you have other medical conditions such as arthritis or diabetes. If these exercises do not work well or are painful to perform, see a physical therapist or podiatrist for more personalized assistance.
Summary: Get your toe realigned. Support your toe until it heals. Strengthen your toe with exercises.
