INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Olive oil, when ingested, has powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce scar tissues. When cooking, use olive oil in place of butter or vegetable oil for grilling or sauteing. This is a healthy, easy way to incorporate olive oil in your diet. While olive oil is healthy, it is also high calorie. Make sure you only use a tablespoon or two when cooking. Use it in place of butter and not in addition to butter. Another way to incorporate olive oil into your day-to-day diet is to use it in salad dressings. Vinaigrettes are fairly easy to make yourself. Basic vinaigrettes include one part vinegar and two parts olive oil. You can add salt and pepper to taste. You can add a variety of ingredients to vinaigrette depending on the taste you desire. Mustard powder, garlic, and other herbs can be used for a saltier taste. Fruits, honey, and apple cider vinegar can be used for a sweeter taste. Consuming olive oil can help your skin. Due to the high levels of monounsaturated fat, a healthy fat necessary to the body's development, olive oil can also help prevent heart disease and diabetes. You should aim to incorporate monounsaturated fats into your general diet. Other foods high in monounsaturated fats include avocados, nuts, and canola oil.

SUMMARY: Use olive oil when cooking. Make vinaigrettes using olive oil. Keep your diet high in monounsaturated fats.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The earlier you get your dog to the vet, the greater the odds of survival. Unfortunately, many dog owners fail to recognize the symptoms or wait too long to see a vet; when they finally take action, their dogs are in the late stages of the disease and tend to die from dehydration. To diagnose parvo, your veterinarian may perform the Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) test. This test checks your dog's stool for evidence of parvo. It can be done in your veterinarian's office. The ELISA test gives rapid results, but it may not be completely accurate. Be aware that false negative results do occur. On the other hand, a test to confirm parvo may not really be necessary. The parvo virus causes severe illness. Since the condition is managed with supportive care rather than cured, it is not always necessary to run diagnostic tests. The treatment will likely be the same with or without a definite diagnosis. Proving it beyond doubt would not change the treatment given and could divert limited financial resources away from vital treatment. The ELISA test alone can sometimes fail to diagnose parvo. Your veterinarian may also perform a Hemagglutination Test, a blood count, and/or a direct fecal smear. The results of these tests, together with the ELISA test, will reveal the presence of parvo in your dog. There is no cure for the parvo virus; however, your veterinarian can recommend supportive therapies and practical measures that will increase your dog's odds of survival. These might include: Hospitalization Anti-vomiting medication Intravenous fluids Probiotics Vitamin therapy

SUMMARY: Take your dog to a veterinarian immediately. Consider for an ELISA-Antigen test. Do additional tests. Follow your veterinarian's suggestions for treatment.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Lower quality models generally have a shorter life expectancy, so buying one of these used is less than ideal. Beyond that, trusted brands develop their reputation through the strength of their products, so it's more likely one of these will hold up better than a no-name brand. Some highly regarded models include: AFG, Gold's Gym, Horizon, Landice, Life Span, Livestrong, NordicTrack, PaceMaster, Precor, Proform, Sole, and Vision. If you find it difficult to choose the best brands to hunt for, you might ask a person at your gym who is knowledgeable about treadmills. History matters a great deal when buying a used treadmill. Don't hesitate to ask questions about its usage, how well it runs, and features the seller liked and disliked. After all, even with a good deal, it's likely you'll be investing a good chunk of money in this purchase. Generally, ask questions to find out how much the treadmill has been used. The less it's been used, the better, as this means there will be less wear and tear on the machine. Since you'll be running on the treadmill for exercise, it only makes sense to give it a test run before you buy it. But first, be sure to ask sellers if they'd mind you giving it a spin. If a seller refuses you a test run, this is a huge red flag and you may want to consider buying a different machine. Avoid hopping on and hopping off the treadmill. This won't give you an adequate experience. Give it at least 5 to 10 minutes to see how to it feels. Look the treadmill over from top to bottom and front to back. Pay close attention to anything that looks broken, cracked, or worn out. This could be evidence that the treadmill was dropped or mishandled, which could harm its internal performance. The most important feature when looking for wear and tear is the belt. If you notice fraying, tears, or if it looks worn out, seriously consider a different model. Cosmetic damage, like a chipped cup holder, won't effect the performance of your machine very much, but you could use it to help negotiate the price even lower.

SUMMARY:
Prioritize highly rated models from trusted brands. Learn the history of the machine. Test out the treadmill. Locate wear and tear.
