Problem: Article: One of the more common preventable cause of cramped muscles is dehydration. You should especially aim to drink water before, during, and after exercise. However, simply not drinking enough water throughout the day can also lead to muscle cramps. Try to drink 16 24 ounces of water at least an hour before working out. This will ensure that your body is sufficiently hydrated for exercise. Keep water within reach during your workout. Follow your exercise with drinking more water. You may also choose to drink a sports drink with electrolytes. Muscle cramps can be caused by unbalanced electrolytes, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium. If you're experiencing muscle cramps, try changing up your diet. It's not a good idea to self-treat with supplements. You should talk to a doctor before trying any nutritional supplements as, in excess, such pills can be harmful. The best means to work on balancing your electrolytes is to eat a balanced diet. Eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, especially leafy greens like lettuce and spinach. Eating bananas can also help as they're high in potassium. In addition, make sure you are eating at least a few hours before you exercise. Some prescription medications can cause muscle cramps as a side effect. If your cramps started shortly after trying a new medication, that might be the cause. Check the bottle for a listing of side effects. If the cramping persists, talk to your doctor about switching doses or types of your medications.
Summary: Drink more water. Change your eating habits. Check your existing medications.

Problem: Article: Putting the bar just anywhere isn't ideal. Look for a place that has the perfect amount of space, ambiance, room to store tools and ingredients, and will be large enough to work in and entertain guests. Use a counter top, dresser top, or any other flat and level surface for your bar. Start small. You can always build a bigger and better bar as you need. Different alcohol types will require different storage methods. Exposure to oxygen and sunlight should be kept to a minimum. You will need to acquire a refrigerator that is an appropriate size for the bar you have planned. You could also create space in a refrigerator you already own. Opened white wine bottles need to be kept cold to prevent flavor from altering. However, don't refrigerate red wine as this will alter the flavor. Most beers taste better cold, so keep beer chilled by storing it in the fridge. Some liqueurs should be refrigerated, but many are fine to store at room temperature. Champagne is nearly always kept chilled. Any older stock you have that is lower in alcohol content should be refrigerated to preserve flavor. Most highly alcoholic liquors do not require refrigeration. It might be tempting to purchase the highest quality alcohol and liquor, but it's not always necessary to do so. Some liquors are used mainly in mixed drinks, so their flavor isn't as critical as other liquors that are enjoyed alone, without mixing. Lower cost can mean lower quality ingredients, different taste, and different distillation techniques than more expensive brands. Higher cost does not always entail a better taste! All alcohol will have the same intoxicating effect, regardless of price. There are many different varieties of alcohol to choose from and the choice isn't always an easy one. However, there are some standards you can use to help narrow the selection process down. Select varieties that you personally enjoy. Keep in mind the tastes of your guests and try to select for them. When starting your bar, don't go overboard. Purchase only what you will actually use. Start out with ingredients for your favorite cocktails. You can always add more ingredients to your bar later on.
Summary: Find a good location for your bar in your home. Find or create proper storage space for your alcohol. Find a balance between quality and price. Select which types of alcohol to purchase.

Problem: Article: Since you're taking the time to research and draw your family tree, pick out nice drawing materials so that the information is presented well. Art supply stores sell individual sheets of large paper. Choose one that is sturdy and attractive, such as watercolor paper. A more convenient option might be a piece of posterboard. This type of paper is also sold by the individual sheet, and it comes in a variety of colors. You can find it at drugstores. Plan to draw the family tree in pencil and trace over it with a nice ink pen or marker. Some family trees are drawn in the shape of actual trees that have a branch for each "branch" of the family. Others are more like family diagrams; the end effect is tree-like, but the family names aren't actually superimposed on a tree drawing. Use the style that was assigned to you in class or simply choose the one you prefer.
Summary: Choose paper and a drawing utensil. Decide what form your tree will take.

Problem: Article: As you can see, treating GI stasis in rabbits is intensive and extensive. It is much easier to prevent GI stasis than to treat it. One of the best ways to prevent GI stasis is to feed your rabbit a high-fiber diet. Hay is an excellent source of fiber, so make sure your rabbit has unlimited access to fresh, high quality hay. The freshest hay will likely be at your local feed store. The fresher the hay, the more nutrients it will have. Your rabbit can also get a lot of fiber from fresh vegetables, such as leafy greens, celery, and green peppers. The pellets you feed your rabbit should be at least 18 to 20% fiber. In addition to fiber, water is essential to keeping food moving smoothly your rabbit's GI tract. An easy way to get your rabbit to drink more water is to put it in a bowl instead of a sipper bottle. Refill the bowl often to make sure your rabbit has enough water to drink at all times. Place the water in a sipper bottle if you will not be home enough to frequently refill a water bowl. Stress can cause GI stasis, so you should try to identify and remove the stressors in your rabbit's environment. Overcrowding is an example of a stressor. If you have more than one rabbit, you may need to separate them to relieve the overcrowding. Excessive heat can also be stressful to your rabbit. If his pen is by a window that gets a lot of direct sun, move his pen to an area of the room that gets less sun. Enriching your rabbit's environment with different toys and digging material can keep him busy and help him feel less stressed when you are not around to play with him. If you make any changes to your rabbit's diet or daily routine, make them gradually. Rapid changes can increase a rabbit's stress. Regular veterinary check-ups would help your veterinarian detect and treat underlying diseases that could eventually lead to GI stasis. For example, your veterinarian can check your rabbit's incisors and molars to see if their growth is affecting your rabbit's ability to chew his food. Regular veterinary visits may be costly, but may actually be inexpensive compared to the cost of treating GI stasis.
Summary:
Feed your rabbit a high-fiber diet. Increase your rabbit's water intake. Decrease your rabbit's stress. Take your rabbit to your veterinarian regularly.
