In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Skin cancers can cause your skin to change color, making it darker, more yellow, or more red. If your skin changes color, make an appointment with your primary care physician or dermatologist. You may also notice more hair growing or itchy skin. If you have moles, you should watch for any changes in their appearance. Another symptom of cancer is an unusual lump or body area that thickens. Observe any sore that doesn't heal, or white patches in your mouth or on your tongue. If you have constipation that doesn't seem to go away, diarrhea, or any change in the size of your stool, they may indicate colon cancer. Signs of prostate or bladder cancer can include: Painful urination Needing to urinate more or less than usual Unusual bleeding or discharge If you've lost weight, but haven't been dieting, you have unexplained weight loss. Losing more than 10 pounds is an early sign of cancer of the pancreas, stomach, esophagus, or lung. You may also have trouble swallowing or might have indigestion after you eat. These are symptoms of esophageal, throat, or stomach cancer. Some of the earliest symptoms of cancer might seem like symptoms of the common cold, with some key differences. You may notice cough, fatigue, fever or unexplained pain (like severe headache). Unlike common illnesses, you won't feel better after resting, the cough won't go away, and you may not have any sign of infection despite having a fever. Pain might be one of the earliest symptoms of cancer you experience. Fever is usually a symptom once the cancer has progressed. Don't assume that because you've noticed several symptoms, you definitely have cancer. Cancer symptoms can vary a great deal and can be non-specific. This means that many similar symptoms can indicate a number of other health problems ranging in severity. For example, fatigue can mean many things, only one of which is cancer. Instead, fatigue might just be one symptom of a different condition that you're experiencing. This is why a proper medical diagnosis is important.
Summary: Look for changes in your skin. Monitor bowel or bladder changes. Determine if you've lost weight. Watch for common illness symptoms. Avoid self-diagnosing.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The best way you can discourage people from littering is by setting a good example. Don't throw your litter on the ground, pick up litter you see and dispose of it in the trash when you see it, and don't throw any litter (including cigarette butts) out of your car. You can also check to make sure that any trash cans you own have a securely fitting lid. A huge source of litter comes from the trash cans that we set out to be collected. If the lid doesn't fit securely and the trash can gets knocked over, the litter will be blown all around the neighborhood. If you see a friend or family member littering, explain to them how that one piece of garbage can have a huge environmental impact. Explain how litter that you throw on the ground may not seem like much, but that litter is usually blown around until it ends up in a stream, river, or the ocean. In addition, litter can harm or even kill many animals who might ingest or get caught in litter. Try to remind people that even if they don't see what goes on, litter that is thrown on the ground will, at some point, become the problem of another human or animal. It may be tempting to go point out that littering is bad, but you may provoke someone into a physical confrontation if you catch them on a bad day. If you want to do something about the littering, go pick up the trash they left and dispose of it yourself. Unfortunately, some people don't really care about the environmental consequences, but they probably care about spending money. Talking about the potential fines and even jail time that a person can face if caught littering might give people a reason to dispose of their garbage properly. Every state in the US has created strict laws about littering. If you are caught littering, you will probably have to pay a fine that can range from $20 up to $3,000, and you could even face jail time depending on the situation. Be sure to warn people that when they litter, they are breaking the law. On this webpage you can find out what the penalties are for littering in your state. Many people don't realize that the state often spends millions of tax dollars in order to clean up litter. If there was less litter to clean up, the state would be able to spend people's tax dollars on improving other things, like public transport and education. Explaining this to people could help discourage them from continuing to litter. You can find out about how much your state spends on litter prevention programs by doing an internet search. For example, using the search terms, "litter prevention program" plus the name of your state.
Summary: Set an example. Remind people of the environmental consequences of littering. Don't confront strangers about littering. Explain the laws your state may have about littering. Remind people that taxpayer money goes toward cleaning up litter.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dental professionals recommend oral irrigation as a great way to really clean teeth and gums. Brushing and flossing will not get under the gums where the bacteria have set up housekeeping. Oral irrigators get what tooth brushes and floss don't, so plaque and tartar never come back. Oral irrigators flood the mouth with a jet of water under pressure to flush offending food particles and bacteria from the mouth. They can remove any debris leftover after brushing. They also give you a good gum massage, which improves blood circulation and prevents inflammation. Oral irrigators, such as Oral Breeze or WaterPik can now be found that attach to your shower-head or your bathroom sink faucet and are very easy to use. Oral irrigators should never be used as a replacement for flossing. If your diet is heavy on sweet sodas, candy, and other sources of sugar, try cutting back on these foods to decrease the buildup of plaque on your teeth. Even fruit juices have enough sugar to cause plaque to grow, and starchy foods like pizza create the same problem. When you do eat or drink sugar, follow it with a glass of water. Swish the water around in your mouth before swallowing to clean off the sugar. Consider brushing your teeth after a sugar or starch heavy meal, even if it means brushing three times a day instead of two. Carry a toothbrush in your car, office or bag so you can use it each time you feel a film start to form on your teeth. Be aware that brushing your teeth immediately after meals can potentially help to erode the natural enamel on your teeth, so make sure you only do this after eating meals that will contribute to bacteria buildup. There are some foods that have high acid contents. These acids wear away the enamel of your teeth and promote the growth of bacteria, putting you at higher risk of forming gingivitis. Some foods and drinks that are high in acid are: Citrus juices and fruits Alcohol with a high phosphorus content Certain types of meats, like corned beef or turkey Some cheeses, like parmesan, are also high in acid content
Summary:
Use oral irrigators. Avoid eating sweets. Brush after meals. Eliminate acidic foods and drinks.
