In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While pomegranates are more of a shrub than tree if left to grow untrained, you can trim the plant so that it looks like a tree. This is something that many gardeners do. Using gardening shears or clippers, cut the suckers (the smaller branches that help the plant take on its shrub form) growing at the base of the plant so that it takes on more of a tree shape. Do this shortly after the plant has become established. If you don't care whether your plant is tree-like or not, let it grow naturally. You don't really need to prune your pomegranate tree to maintain it, but it is a good idea to cut away dead or dying branches in the spring to help the tree grow well. You can also thin the plant as you see necessary. If you are growing the pom in a container, you will need to prune and train a bit more heavily, in order to keep the pom the size and shape you want it to be. Avoid mold growth by making sure you do not over water the pom. The two other problems some pomegranates face are aphids and the pomegranate butterfly. You can kill aphids by using a spray bought at your local nursery or garden store. You can also use an integrated pest management practice for killing aphids, which may include attracting ladybugs, spraying trees with water to knock aphids down, or even purchasing predatory insects to consume the aphids. The pomegranate butterfly is not very common and should not be a problem. If it is, use a butterfly spray to rid your trees of the larvae.
Summary: Train the plant into tree form, if desired. Remove dead or damaged parts of the plant. Keep the pom healthy.

Lenses come with a number of added features, such as scratch-resistant coatings and color-changing features meant to offer ultraviolet protection. While many of these features do effectively provide what they offer, they are also largely unnecessary. If you have a tight budget, skip the extras and stick with a basic prescription lens. If you purchase your eyeglasses from a department store or popular eyeglasses chain store, you may be able to find coupons in magazines or online. Many carriers cover a portion of the cost for eyeglasses if you buy them at specific places. Depending on your coverage, you could have more or less choice available to you.

One-sentence summary -- Only buy what you need. Shy away from brand names if your budget is low and you don't need to get the latest styles. Look for coupons. Check with your medical insurance.

Q: Once the pork starts to become tender, add the taro wedges to the soup. Continue cooking the soup at a low simmer for 15 minutes, or until the taro softens. If using pork spare ribs, wait until the pork starts to separate from the bone before adding the taro. If using boneless pork belly, test the pork by piercing it with a fork; if you can cut into it with a fork but it still retains solid form, add the taro. If more scum or suds develop at the top of the soup after adding the taro, skim the surface with a spoon before continuing. Pour the tamarind juice into the soup broth and stir to combine. Cook the soup for another 5 minutes at a mild simmer. Doing so allows the flavor of the juice to meld with the broth and other ingredients. If you use a powdered tamarind mix instead of using fresh tamarind juice, add the powder directly to the broth and stir to mix it in. Allow the broth to simmer for 5 minutes, as you would do with tamarind juice. Place the slices radish and sliced eggplant in the soup. Stir to combine, then cook for 5 minutes. When finished, the eggplant should be nearly tender and the radish should slightly soften. Add the string beans to the soup and stir to combine. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. At this point, the pork and all of the vegetables should be soft enough to easily pierce with your fork. Continue to simmer the soup until the meat and vegetables are ready. Place the leaves of water spinach in the soup and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and cover the pot, then allow the soup to sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Since water spinach can be somewhat delicate, allowing it to cook using residual heat instead of direct heat can prevent it from falling apart. When it's ready, the water spinach leaves should be wilted yet whole. Taste the soup broth. Add salt and pepper as needed to balance out the flavors. You can also add extra fish sauce, if desired. You should flavor the soup according to your own tastes, but to make authentic sinigang na baboy, the broth should be both sour and salty. Ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls and enjoy. You can either remove the pork bones before serving the dish to your guests or allow each guest to do so after serving the soup. Sinigang na baboy is frequently served with a side of steamed rice. Consider garnishing it with chopped scallions, lemon wedges, and additional fish sauce, as well.
A: Add the taro. Add the tamarind to the soup. Mix in the radish and eggplant. Stir in the beans. Add the water spinach. Season as needed. Serve.

Problem: Article: aintain a healthy weight. Carrying extra weight on your body can increase your risk of flare-ups. You can limit that risk by managing your weight and staying within a healthy weight for your height. You can determine your healthy weight based on your height or body fat percentage. Eating a balanced diet and exercising can help you manage your weight. If you want to minimize your psoriasis flare-ups, a great way is to eat a healthy balanced diet. Eat plenty of fruits and green, leafy vegetables, especially those that reduce inflammation. These types of food will assist with weight loss (another way to reduce psoriasis flare-ups) and help you feel more healthy in general. Since psoriasis is an anti-inflammatory disease, it's helpful to indulge in foods that have been proven to help reduce inflammation like carrots, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, broccoli, strawberries, mangoes, and blueberries. Avoid foods that increase inflammation, such as processed foods, greasy foods, refined carbohydrates, sugary foods, processed meats, full-fat dairy, and trans fats. Be sure to get enough fiber in your diet, but limit your protein intake. Eating fewer protein-dense foods (like meat and dairy products) can help minimize your psoriasis flare-ups. Adding more fiber will help your digestive tract get rid of many psoriasis-triggering toxins in your intestines. To minimize the amount of unhealthy protein in your diet, try to eat fish (at least twice per week) and eliminate other meats from your diet. High fiber foods include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. While sunburns can cause flare-ups, short periods of time outside can actually help you avoid flare-ups. Sunlight will slow the growth of your skin cells, which makes a flare-up less likely. You should still wear sunscreen when you go outside. If you are prone to sunburn, spend less time outside so that you don't risk a burn. Talk to your doctor if you're taking any medications, however, as you may be more sensitive to sunlight. Eliminating (or at least reducing) how much alcohol you drink could be one of the most significant ways to prevent psoriasis flare-ups. Studies have shown that psoriasis flare-ups are much more common in people who drink heavily, and that eliminating alcohol consumption can reduce the severity and frequency of psoriasis flare-ups. Alcohol can also interact negatively with certain psoriasis drugs (like methotrexate and acitretin), so be sure to discuss your alcohol use with your doctor before beginning any new medication.
Summary:
. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Maximize fiber and minimize protein intakes. Spend 20 minutes a day outdoors. Avoid drinking too much alcohol.
