Problem: Article: Whatever cookware you use should be spacious enough to reheat however much chili you plan on cooking with. Spray slow cookers and nonstick pots and saucepans with cooking spray to keep the reheated chili from sticking when it gets hot. For smaller servings, you can also microwave a single bowl at a time. Only use as much chili as you need to make a given dishrefrigerating and reheating chili multiple times will cause it to lose its freshness faster. Chili thickens as it loses moisture in the refrigerator, so a splash of liquid will help return it to its original consistency. Be careful not to add too much liquid, or you could inadvertently make it soupy. Stir the liquid into the chili thoroughly before you begin heating it. Using tomato sauce or savory chicken stock as opposed to water will keep from diluting the rich flavor of the chili. If you prefer your chili extra thick, skip this step and reheat as usual. Turn on the cooktop to medium-high heat. Keep an eye on the chili as it warms up, stirring once every few minutes. When it begins the bubble continually around the edges, it's ready to serve. Stir the chili from the bottom of the pot to better distribute heat. The chili will be ready to eat when it's warm, but you can also leave it to simmer for about half an hour more to revitalize the individual flavors. Once your chili has been warmed through, ladle up a big bowl and savor it for a second time. This is the simplest way to get more enjoyment out of a batch. Chili keeps well in the refrigerator, so you can keep using it until the last of it is gone. Garnish a bowl of chili with tasty add-ons like cheese, sliced scallions, sour cream or corn chips.
Summary: Transfer the chili to a medium-sized pot or saucepan. Add half a cup of tomato sauce or chicken stock. Heat the chili for 10-12 minutes. Eat reheated chili by itself.

Problem: Article: Applying a heating pad to your pelvis or taking a hot bath can help relax your pelvic muscles and dilate your blood vessels, which can stimulate blood flow and thus speed up your period. Consider this a reason to draw yourself a hot bath and take a while to soak. Your cramps will feel better and your period may run its course faster and you get some much needed me-time, too. Exercising during your period can help alleviate PMS symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and moodiness. Many people find that getting regular physical exercise can also help manage the heaviness and duration of their periods in the long run. In fact, overexercising, or exercising more than your body is used to, can completely change your normal period schedule. Gymnasts and the like often don't get their periods at all because they work out so much. While you shouldn't work out so much your body gets stunted, exercising regularly does have many benefits. Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world, and is used to treat a wide array of physical ailments using pressure points rather than medicine. Getting acupuncture regularly can help regulate the menstrual cycle and alleviate mood swings, menstrual cramps, and other PMS symptoms. It's great for stress, too. However, some believe that it can stop your cycle entirely, so be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin taking this route. New science says that orgasms can limit the duration of your period. How? Orgasms cause muscle spasms that in turn cause the blood from your uterus to flow out faster. If you can get over how it might be a little icky, it's worth a shot. Most people have a higher sex drive during their periods, anyway. Wait till the 3rd day or so (or whenever your period is a bit lighter), lay down some towels, and stick to the missionary position. You may be surprised how much you like it. Though it's less likely, you can get pregnant during your period. Play it safe and use protection.
Summary: Use heat to your advantage. Exercise regularly. Try acupuncture. Have sex.

Problem: Article: The deltoids, or delts, are you outer shoulder muscles. They form a triangle from your shoulder that points down your upper arm, stopping 4-5" down. The deltoids are used to raise your arms in a wing-like motion, where your elbows go outward. Strong deltoids also protect your rotator cuff, the major joint in your shoulder. Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, with a dumbbell in each hand. Raise the dumbbells so that your arms are bent 90 and the weight is near your ears. Your palms should face forward. In one fluid, smooth motion, push your hands up to the sky as if you were surrendering. Slowly return the weight to your ears to complete one rep. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. A good starting weight is 10-15lbs. Let your arms hang by your sides, with feet shoulder width apart. With a dumbbell in each arm, bend your arms 90 at the elbow so that the weights are out in front of your body at roughly waist height. Lift your elbows up and to the sides, as if they were wings. Once your elbow is even with your shoulder, slowly lower them back down. Focus on keeping your lower arm and wrists firm and even with your elbow -- do not let them drop and put stress on your elbow joints. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. You can also keep your arms straight and use kettle bells, which hang from a handle, instead of dumbbells. You can do these with resistance bands as well. Stand on the center of the band with each hand holding an end. With your arms extended at your sides, lift your arms out to the sides, as if they were wings, then return them with control to your sides. Grab a barbell with both hands shoulder width apart. Stand up straight, holding the bar with your hands extended. Pull the bar straight up, along your torso, to your chin. Both elbows should point outwards when the bar is at your chin. Remember to keep your back and torso straight as you lift. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps. You can also do this with cable weights. Set the cable to start from the ground and pull it up just like a barbell. Grab a dumbbell in one hand. With your back straight and your feet firmly planted. Your arm should be fully extended by your side. Raise the weight, arm extended, in front of your body until your elbow is at shoulder height in front of you. Slowly lower the weight back down. Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps with each arm. Do not let the weight rotate to either side, as this can cause joint damage. Do not bend your back or lean to make the exercise easier. The neutral grip means that your palms are both facing inward, towards each other. Grab the pull-up bar along the perpendicular grips, so that your thumb faces you and your pinkies face away. Pull your chest up to the bar so that your chin is even with your hands -- you will be at a roughly 45 angle with the ground. Slowly lower yourself back down, straightening your torso. Start with 3-5 reps, for as many sets as you can muster.
Summary:
Identify your deltoids. Do standing dumbbell presses. Do shoulder flies. Do upright rows. Do front arm raises. Do neutral grip chin-ups.
