Problem: Article: Caffeine is not just found in caffeinated beverages like teas and coffees. Certain foods, like chocolate, as well as many over-the-counter and prescription medications, may contain caffeine. You can also find caffeine in energy drinks, such as Monster Energy Drink and Five Hour Energy Shot, workout supplements, weight loss supplements, and over-the-counter stimulants, such as NoDoz and Vivarine. If you regularly consume caffeinated beverages, make a habit of reading the ingredients list on medications and foods. This way, you can make sure you're not getting too much caffeine. Chocolates may not list caffeine as an ingredient on labels. Try to monitor your caffeine from other sources and, if you've had a lot of caffeine on a particular day, avoid chocolate. Write down how much caffeine you consume each day. This can help you make sure you're not getting too much caffeine. Most healthy adults should have no more than 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, which is about how much is found in four cups of coffee. However, some types of coffee may have more or less caffeine than others, so shoot for a little less than four cups if you're a coffee drinker just to be safe. Keep in mind that some people are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine and adolescents should have no more than 100mg caffeine per day. If you find you need to cut back on caffeine, do so gradually. Caffeine is a stimulant to the central nervous system, so regular consumption can cause mild physical dependence. If you stop intake abruptly, you may experience mild withdrawal symptoms for a few days. Cutting back gradually can increase your likelihood of successfully and comfortably cutting back on caffeine. Start small. For example, strive to drink one less cup of coffee each day for a week. The next week, cut back by another cup. Eventually, you'll be at a healthy level of caffeine consumption. Remember, this is around 400 milligrams a day. If you love the taste of coffee, soda, or other caffeinated beverages, switch to decaf. You can still enjoy the taste you love but you won't run the risk of a caffeine overdose. You can order decaf coffee at your favorite coffee shop. You can also get decaffeinated soda at the supermarket, or see if they have it while you're eating out at a local restaurant. If you like tea, most herbal teas do not contain caffeine.
Summary: Monitor your caffeine intake from unexpected sources. Keep tabs on how much you're drinking. Cut back on caffeine gradually. Switch to decaf.

Problem: Article: The sooner you catch and treat the damage, the better. The longer you wait before treating the damage, the more difficult it will be to repair. In some cases, you may have to resort to more extreme treatments, such as cutting your hair. Your hair care regime includes not only treatments, but also good habits, such as avoiding heat styling. Clarifying shampoo can help smooth and calm your hair when it's dry or crispy. If you can't find a clarifying shampoo, use a gentle shampoo instead, then rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar. Wash your hair no more than twice per week. Skip the hot water and use cool or lukewarm water instead. Don't use a clarifying shampoo if your hair is severely damaged, as this could make the damage even worse. If you're unsure whether to use it or not, ask a stylist. Protein-based conditioners fill the tiny rips and tears in your hair, making it stronger. The repair is not permanent, and only lasts until the next time you wash your hair. The benefit is that your hair is stronger and more resistant to damage. Consider using a leave-in conditioner after you step out of the shower. This will help lock the moisture in and keep your hair hydrated throughout the day. Follow the directions carefully. Don't leave the conditioner in for longer than the recommended time, as this can make your hair brittle. Get your hair damp first, then apply a deep conditioner to it. Pull your hair up into a loose bun, and cover it with a shower cap. Wrap a hot towel around your head, wait 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse the deep conditioner out. Look for ingredients such as keratin, olive oil, protein, or shea butter. If you are in a hurry, apply a deep conditioner to your hair after you rinse the shampoo out. Leave it in for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse it out. You can use hair masks once or twice each week. Heat some olive oil over the stove, then allow it to cool down to room temperature. Apply it to clean, towel-dried hair. Tuck your hair under a shower cap, then wrap a hot towel around your hair. Wait 1 hour, then rinse the oil out with cold water. Use shampoo to remove any residue, if desired. You can do this treatment 1 to 3 times a month. How much olive oil you use depends on how long and thick your hair is. You need enough to completely saturate your hair. For a deep conditioning treatment, leave the oil on overnight. How often you use a treatment depends on the product itself, so read the label carefully. In most cases, you can use them once or twice a week. If you don't see any progress after 3 months, your hair is likely damaged beyond repair. Visit a salon to have the damage cut out. Keep in mind that not all treatments work for everyone. What works for your best friend may not work for you. How short you cut your hair depends on how far up the damage extends. Ideally, you should cut all of the damage off. If your hair is damaged all the way to the roots and you don't want to cut all of your hair off, cut layers into it instead. This will prevent the damage from creeping further up the hair shaft. Make the most of your cut. Go for a chic bob or a cute pixie. If you want something more edgy, try an undercut instead. If you don't want to go too short, you can trim your hair every 4-6 weeks until the damage is gone. This will take longer, but will prevent the ends from fraying, which can increase the damage.
Summary: Start your new hair care regime immediately. Use a clarifying shampoo if your hair is dry or staticky. Strengthen your hair with a protein-based conditioner. Turn a deep conditioner into a hydrating mask. Replenish your hair with a hot oil treatment. Give treatments 3 months before reassessing your hair. Cut the damage off as a last resort.

Problem: Article: This includes the amount of money you will be investing or saving, the length of the term and the proposed interest rates. You may have several different interest rates that you want to compare. Divide the number by 100 and then divide this interest rate by 365, the number of days in a year. This will give you the interest rate to use in the formula. An annual percentage rate of .5 percent or .005, when divided by 365, is equal to .00137 percent, or .0000137. If the principle is $10,000, when multiplied by .0000137, it is equal to $.1370. Rounded up, this account will earn approximately $.14 per day, based on these examples. Multiply the principal, $10,000, by the annual percentage rate of .5 percent or .005 to calculate interest manually. The answer is $50.00. Multiply the daily interest amount of $.1370 by 365 days; the answer is also $50.00.
Summary:
Gather the details needed to calculate interest. Convert the percent interest rate to a decimal. Multiply the principal by the daily interest rate. Check your math.
