INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can use whatever fruit and vegetables that you'd like to paint with, but those with interesting shapes usually offer the most options. Visit your local grocery store or farmer's market, and examine the produce to see which ones most appeal to you. Starfruit is an ideal option for painting because of its star shape. Chinese cabbage can create rose-like shapes when they're cut. Broccoli and cauliflower work well for painting because of their florets. Mushrooms come in a variety of shapes that allow for creativity. Apples, pears, bananas, strawberries, raspberries, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, corn cobs, green beans, oranges, lemons, and limes are other good options. When you've chosen the fruit and vegetables that you plan to use, wash them with water to remove any dirt. Pat the produce dry with a clean towel. If any of the fruits and vegetables are particularly dirty, use a vegetable scrub brush to clean them more effectively.

SUMMARY: Choose fruit and vegetables with interesting shapes. Wash and dry all of the produce.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The diaphragm is a muscle that sits like an upside-down bowl just beneath your ribs, contracting and relaxing to move air through your lungs. Deep "belly breathing" that visibly moves your abdomen in and out helps strengthen this muscle and improve your endurance. If your belly stays flat and your chest pumps up and down, you're taking shallow "chest breaths," and will fatigue sooner. This will help ensure that you are getting enough oxygen to your body, and is the best way to prevent muscle and lung fatigue. It also helps increase endurance by getting proper oxygen circulation to your muscles. Your mouth is wider than your nostrils, allowing you to take deeper breaths of air. Allow air to enter through both your mouth and your nose. Most experienced runners coordinate their breath with their steps, such as the popular "inhale for three steps, exhale for two" (or simply "32"). This helps you breathe more consistently. You may also be forced to switch to a different pattern (such as "21") at higher speeds, which helps you keep track of the intensity of your run. There are several popular alternatives to these patterns, such as "2-2" or "2-3." Experiment with different breathing patterns to find the right one for you. You should be able to form full sentences while running without huffing and puffing.

SUMMARY:
Breathe with your diaphragm. Take longer breaths. Keep your mouth open. Find a breathing pattern. Use the "talk test" to determine if you are breathing enough.
