Article: Gastritis affects the absorption of key vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, flavonoids, and magnesium, so it's important that you eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in them so you're giving your body what it needs to be healthy. Focus on eating fruits and vegetables that are high in flavonoids, antioxidants, vitamin B, and calcium, such as: Antioxidant-rich foods: Blueberries, cherries, tomatoes, squash, bell peppers Foods rich in Vitamin B and calcium: Almonds, beans, whole grains, spinach, kale Foods with flavonoids that inhibit H. pylori: Apples, celery, cranberries Gastritis can be aggravated by eating heavily processed, fried, or very spicy foods. If you can, cook your own food from fresh ingredients, and avoid: Acidic beverages like coffee, sodas, or citrus-based juices Refined foods, such as pasta, white bread and sugar Trans fats, which are often found in things such as cookies, cakes, and other commercially-baked foods Processed foods such as breakfast cereals, chips, frozen meals, or meat products like bacon and sausage Fried foods Heavily spiced foods Lean meats, fish, and tofu are good sources of protein that will help you to maintain digestive health without adding fats that can irritate your gastritis. Choose lean sources of protein such as: Chicken breast Flank steak, sirloin tip, top round, tenderloin, top loin, rump roast, and extra lean ground beef Wild game Venison, bison, elk, squab, wild duck, pheasant, and rabbit

Article: Before you buy a computer for your parents, you should carefully consider their computing needs. Ask your parents what their specific needs are prior to shopping for a computer. Some users may run specialized software that can require additional memory and processing power. Most users need a computer for more general operations that include email, browsing the Internet, editing and storing photographs, listening to music, watching DVDs or streaming video, and playing games online. Try saying, "Dad, what will you want to use the computer for? Will you want it for typing, or do you need it to search for things online?" Talk to your parents about how comfortable they are using a computer. Different adults have different comfort levels and experience with computers. This should be considered when choosing a computer. For example, parents who are new to computers might do better with a touchscreen model or a system that has intuitive navigation and applications. Experienced users, on the other hand, can handle more complicated setups and operating systems. Try asking, "Mom, what do you usually use the computer for?" If asking doesn't work, you can try observing them using a computer, either at home or in a store, to gauge their comfort level. If your parents have physical needs, such as needing to be in a comfortable chair while computing, then a standard desktop could be a good choice for them. Buying a desktop for your parents means you can help them set up a comfortable space that can be modified to meet any physical needs they might have. Comfort-related benefits of a desktop to consider include: Larger screen size Easy use of ergonomic mouse and keyboard Comfortable setup in a designated space Where your parents plan on accessing their computer is an important factor to consider when purchasing a computer. For example, if your mother wants to be able to take her computer to a local coffee shop several days a week, then a desktop wouldn't be a good choice. If your father plans on accessing the Internet in multiple rooms around the house, then a laptop with wireless capabilities would be a good fit for him.

Think about what your parents will use the computer for. Figure out how comfortable your parents are with computers. Think about ergonomics, especially for the elderly. Ask your parents where they will use the computer.
Article: It's best to transplant cabbage to its outdoor location about two to three weeks prior to the last frost. Check the long-range weather forecast for your area to determine this date. When you know when the date for the last expected frost, schedule a date a couple weeks in advance of that to transplant your cabbage. For fall plantings, set the plants out 6-8 weeks before the average first frost date of the year. There are a few things that cabbages need to thrive, and sunlight is one of them. When choosing an outdoor location for your cabbage, look for somewhere that gets at least six hours of full sun each day. Avoid planting cabbages in the same garden beds as cauliflower, strawberries, broccoli, and tomatoes. Cabbages will thrive in gardens close to cucumbers and beans. Cabbage loves fertile soil, so mix the soil in your seedbed with equal parts aged compost or manure. Water the bed so the soil is moist before transplanting the seedlings. The ideal pH for cabbage is between 6.5 and 7.5. You can test the pH of your soil with test strips, which are available at most department, garden, and hardware stores. If you need to lower the pH, add more compost or manure to make the soil more acidic. To increase the pH, add pulverized limestone to the bed. Plant the seedlings at the same depth they were in the pots, about a inch (1.3 cm) deep. Space them 12 to 24 inches (30 to 61 cm) apart, and in rows that are about 24 inches (61 cm) apart. For the best results, pick a cloudy day to transplant the cabbage seedlings. This will help prevent shock to the fragile plants. Add a 1-inch (2.5-cm) layer of mulch to the top of the soil. This will help keep the soil moist as the seedlings grow, protect the plants from pests, and help regulate the temperature of the soil. The ideal mulch for cabbage includes ground leaves, finely ground bark, or compost. Cabbage plants will need about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) of water each week. If you aren't getting enough rain, water the soil enough to keep it moist as the cabbages grow. Continue watering the cabbages until the plants approach maturity. At that time, stop watering them to prevent split heads. When the cabbages start to grow new leaves and develop heads, amend the soil with fertilizer. This will happen about three weeks after transplanting, and at this time, the cabbages will need nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Good fertilizers for a cabbage patch include fish emulsions, liquid fertilizers, blood meal, and cottonseed meal.
