Problem: Article: Since hiatal hernias cause acid reflux symptoms, the first method of treatment is to prevent reflux, reduce acid production, and increase esophagus clearance. This can be done by reducing risk factors and implementing lifestyle changes. Smoking can make your hiatal hernia symptoms worse. Studies have shown that smoking tobacco relaxes this sphincter, a band of muscles around where the esophagus meets the stomach. The sphincter squeezes to prevent stomach contents from coming back up. Quitting smoking can be challenging. Speak with family, friends, and your doctor if you are seriously considering it. They can motivate and guide you to treatment options such as medications, nicotine patch, nicotine gum, and other healthy choices. Certain types of foods can lead to stomach irritation and increased acid production. In order to prevent and control your symptoms, avoid or limit foods such as: Chocolate Onions and garlic Spicy foods Fatty foods such as fried foods Citrus foods such as oranges Tomato based foods Alcohol Peppermint or spearmint Carbonated beverages like sodas Dairy products, such as milk and ice cream Coffee In addition to avoiding certain foods, there are foods you can eat which may help you prevent further symptoms from your hiatal hernia. Try to include healthier options for your stomach to handle, such as lean meats like skinless chicken, red meat with little visible fat, ground turkey instead of ground beef, and fish. Lean beef cuts include round, chuck, sirloin, or loin. Lean pork cuts include tenderloin or loin chop. You can also improve your diet by: Baking or broil foods instead of frying. Skimming off fat from meat during cooking. Trying not to use too much spicy seasoning. Eating low-fat dairy foods, such as low-fat yogurt instead of ice cream. Steaming your vegetables with water instead of broth. Limiting butter, oils, and cream sauces. Use cooking spray instead of cooking oil when sauteing. Choosing low-fat or nonfat ingredients over full-fat products. There are other food-related concerns that need to be considered when you are dealing with a hiatal hernia. When purchasing food items, always check the content or ingredient lists. If you are unsure if other food products may be triggering symptoms, take note before eating them and compare to it to how you feel after eating them. Also try eating smaller meals throughout the day rather than large meals. This gives your stomach an easier time to digest and produces less acid than larger meals. Do not eat too quickly either as this may give a similar effect. Increased abdominal pressure can put more pressure on the sphincter, leading to acid reflux or hernias. To reduce pressure on your stomach, try not to strain when passing stool. If you do strain or feel more constipated, add more fiber based foods to your diet such as fruits and grains. Try not to lift heavy objects because this puts pressure on your stomach and can aggravate symptoms or cause a hernia. Avoid lying down on your back or side after you eat. Think of it as tipping over a glass of water if you are flat and the sphincter isn't functioning the stomach contents will easily enter into the esophagus causing symptoms. Being upright will help to minimize the risk. If you are overweight or obese, this can cause problems related to your hiatal hernia. Studies have shown that excessive body weight is a risk factor for hiatal hernias. Try walking for about 30 min after meals to help you digest and possibly lose more weight. A study has shown that walking for 30 min after eating reduced weight over a month when compared to walking after waiting an hour after meals As you go along, gradually increase your workouts. Perform more cardio based workouts such as running, jogging, jumping jacks, and biking, to help you burn more fat and calories. If you do this in addition to changing your diet to help your hernia, you are more likely to lose weight.
Summary: Stop smoking. Avoid certain foods. Eat healthier foods. Consider other dietary concerns. Reduce pressure in your stomach. Lose weight.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are many different kinds and grades of steel. Do not use stainless steel, as the metal is difficult to work with and the blade will not be as fine. 01 is a popular carbon steel for blade making because it is easy to douse when hot. Try to get a slab or bar between 1/8 to inch thick. Wood is an easy one to work with, though you can make a handle out of anything you would like. Since this guide is for a full tang knife, pick a material that you can attach with rivets. G10, micarta, and kirinite all are good choices and are waterproof. Using a permanent marker, trace your blade onto the slab. This will be the guide you use when you cut the steel. Be sure to trace the tang as well, because the blade and tang are one connected piece. Make adjustments to the size as necessary once you see the outline on the metal. You will need a hacksaw, an angle grinder with a hard wheel and flap wheel, a vise, a drill, and protective wear also a few other tools you could have are bandsaw and a grizzly or KMG grinder. You will need several replacement blades for the saw.

SUMMARY: Obtain carbon steel. Pick your handle material. Trace your blade. Assemble your tools.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This means adjusting the distribution of your sound through different channels, such as left and right speakers. Most songs don't sound as good when they're played in just one channel (mono). Listen to your song through completely and do a bit of mixing. You might need to adjust the panning and volume. Maybe you've tried recording riffs or segments of your track already, but remember to record your complete track as well. FL Studio has a helpful function if you forget: it remembers MIDI notes from about the previous five minutes, even when not recording. To regain a riff, go to an empty pattern, and then click "Dump Score Log To Selected Channel". Before you export your song, you can go into options and modify the "project info" or metadata that a media player will display. Here, you can change such things as the name your song, the artist's name, comments, and the song's genre. You can save to file forms WAV, MP3, MIDI and OGG. Exporting is done through the File menu in a process called rendering. Pull down the menu and select the file type and quality you'd like to save your project as. You won't be able to play back saved projects in the FL Studio Demo version. To open saved projects fully, you'll have to register FL Studio and plugins. The only other limitation of the demo version is that you might also hear some static, white noise, or silence using some of the plugins. That said, the demo version is still very functional and a great way to learn FL Studio.
Summary:
Pan the different parts when you're finished. Record. Change your song's metadata. Export your song once you are satisfied with it.
