INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Foods like watermelon, cucumber, lettuce, and broths contain a lot of water and relatively few calories. If you eat these foods before your main meal, they may satisfy you enough to prevent you from overeating. You can also try drinking water shortly before your meal. Sometimes your body mistakes thirst for hunger. You may feel hungry if your body is craving nutrients, so it's important to see your doctor regularly and get periodic lab work to check for deficiencies. If you do have a vitamin deficiency, take the recommended supplements every day. If you never allow yourself to enjoy food, you're more likely to give up on your healthy habits altogether. The key is to allow yourself to indulge in small amounts of the foods you crave every so often. Instead of eating until you can't possibly eat any more, try to be more mindful and put the fork down as soon as you stop feeling hungry. Make sure you don't eat too fast, or you might not realize that you have had enough. It's also important to make sure you are actually hungry before you start eating. Try to recognize if you are eating for emotional reasons, or just because you're bored. Once you recognize it, try to replace your snacking with a healthier alternative. Going for a walk can be a great distraction! Try to always be conscious of how much you are eating. Instead of eating your snack out of the bag and losing track of how much you've consumed, place an appropriate portion on a plate and then put the bag away.

SUMMARY: Eat foods that contain a lot of water. Make sure you don't have any vitamin deficiencies. Don't deprive yourself. Stop eating when you feel satisfied. Control your portions.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add water to dilute if you consider this is necessary. Note: This will leave a residue that requires wiping but that's better than having flies annoying you.

SUMMARY: Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle. Shake well to blend. Spray at flies and on surfaces where flies are alighting.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: An organic label means that the food was grown or raised without the use of synthetic chemicals (but there are exceptions). Lots of people confuse sustainable agriculture with organic farming. Both are aimed at using more ecologically sensible practices, but they are judged by a distinct set of standards. Organic farming, especially when carried out on a large, industrial scale, can still damage the environment and threaten public health in a variety of ways: Ecosystems can still be ruined by widespread monoculture; pesticides can still be applied; soils can still be depleted of nutrients and organic matter; pollution can still be created; and exorbitant amounts of fossil fuels can still be spent (and wasted), all under an organic label. Farming a single area so that it produces food indefinitely. In order to move in this direction, a farm has to: avoid irreversible changes to the land (for example, erosion) withdraw no resources from the environment that cannot be replenished (for example, not using more water than can be replaced regularly by rainfall) produce enough income to remain on a farm in face of worldwide farm consolidation and infrastructure development Determine where your resources come from and whether you're taking more than can be replaced, either through natural processes or your own practices. Where are your resources and inputs coming from? Think specifically about water, energy, soil amendments, and feed (if you have livestock). Also think about long-term, capital investments, such as structural building materials, tools, etc. Keep in mind that no farm is an island: complete self-sufficiency is not a requirement of sustainable agriculture. Long-term stability and productivity is. The more renewable and varied your resources are, the longer your farm will last.

SUMMARY: Don't confuse "sustainable" with "organic". Know what sustainability means: Consider the source.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your Braxton Hicks contractions are making you uncomfortable, moving will often make them go away. If you have been walking, taking some time to sit might also stop them. Getting a massage, taking a bath, or just taking some much-needed rest time can help soothe your contractions. Reading, listening to music, or napping can all be helpful. If you can sleep through your contractions, then they are probably not labor contractions. Braxton Hicks are a healthy exercise your uterus does to prepare for labor. They occur naturally, but some pregnant people find them to be triggered by particular activities. You might experience a Braxton Hicks after exercise or strenuous activity. Some are triggered by sex or orgasm. Some people experience Braxton Hicks when they are overtired or dehydrated. Learning your triggers can help you recognize a Braxton Hicks contraction when it comes. Braxton Hicks do not need to be prevented, but they can be a good reminder to drink water and get rest.

SUMMARY:
Take a walk. Relax. Know your triggers.
