In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Although peripheral neuropathy typically begins in the lower limbs, specifically the feet, it also eventually effects the smaller peripheral nerves that innervate the fingers, hands and arms. As such, be vigilant about checking your hands for the above-mentioned potential symptoms and complications of diabetes. Similar to the stocking-like distribution of diabetic foot symptoms, complications in the upper limbs progress in a glove-like pattern (from the hands and then up the arms). Diabetic-related symptoms in the hands can mimic or be misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome or Raynaud's disease (arteries that narrow more than normal when exposed to cold temperatures). It's much easier to check and be aware of your hands on a regular basis compared to your feet because your feet are often encased in socks and shoes. The autonomic system includes the nerves that automatically control your heart rate, bladder, lungs, stomach, intestines, genitals, and eyes. Diabetes (hyperglycemia) can affect these nerves and cause a variety of complications, such as: increased heart rate, hypotension, urinary retention or incontinence, constipation, bloating, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, erectile dysfunction and vaginal dryness. Uncontrolled sweating (or complete lack of sweating) in the feet or other parts of the body is a sign of autonomic neuropathy. Widespread autonomic neuropathy eventually causes organ dysfunction, such as heart disease and kidney failure. Both peripheral and autonomic neuropathies affect the eyes, as does the destruction of small blood vessels due to glucose toxicity. In addition to the concern of infection and potential foot/leg amputation, going blind is often the biggest fear of diabetics. Eye complications related to diabetes include difficulty adapting to low-light conditions, blurry vision, watery eyes and gradual reduced visual acuity leading to blindness. Diabetic retinopathy affects blood vessels in the eye's retina and is the most common cause of vision loss among diabetics. In fact, adult diabetics are 2-5x more likely than those without diabetes to develop cataracts. Diabetic eye disease also increases the risk of developing cataracts (clouding of the lens) and glaucoma (increased pressure and damaged optic nerve).
Summary: Look for similar symptoms in your hands. Check yourself for signs of autonomic neuropathy. Be alert to changes in your vision.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Setting a good example will encourage others to follow suit. Humans take in their surroundings to know what's acceptable and what's not. Do your part to keep your area looking good. Plant trees in your area or local park. Don't litter! Anywhere or anytime. Encourage your local representatives to 'go green' and keep an eye on local parks and recreational areas. Most towns and cities have numerous organizations dedicated to beautifying and bettering the area. Contact friends and family and do your research. If there isn't a group already attacking the issues you're concerned about, start your own. Visit your local library, courthouse, tourist office, and city website for more information. If those turn up nothing, seek out private sources at parks or recycling centers. If you desire action on a community level, take your concerns to different organizations or local committee meetings. Making your voice heard is the first step to seeing progress. Write an article for your local newspaper. Back a candidate for a local political office and work with them to back environmental change. Lots of cities are starting to feel the pressure of "going green." After all, knowledge is power. The more you know, the more you'll know what to do and how to do it more efficiently and effectively. Seek out professionals and resources on the internet to boost your expertise. The internet is full of like-minded people like yourself. They may also know more about this topic and be able to give you some really great ideas. Chat up everyone you meet when on your quest to help our planet.
Summary: Keep your neighborhood beautiful. Join an organization. Speak up. Learn more.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To keep your hair from darkening, mix equal parts pure lemon juice and water or olive oil and spray it into your hair. Diluting the juice with water or olive oil will help keep hair from drying out, though it may also cause the juice to take longer to work. Sit outside in the sun for about an hour and the lemon will help lighten your hair naturally. Follow the lemon with a conditioning treatment, as lemon juice can be drying to your hair. Repeat several times a week until your hair reaches the desired shade. Like lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide can help lighten hair, particularly when exposed to the sun. Fill a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide. Spray the peroxide through your hair. Go outside and let your hair dry in the sun. Apply a conditioning treatment afterward, as hydrogen peroxide can be drying to hair. Repeat weekly until you reach your desired shade. Camomile tea--the same stuff you drink--will give a warm golden glow to your hair when you use it as a rinse. Boil about 16 ounces of water and add about 5 camomile tea bags. Steep the tea bags for 15-20 minutes. Allow the tea to cool. After shampooing and conditioning your hair, pour the tea through your hair, or, alternatively, fill a spray bottle with the tea and spray through your hair. Leave the tea rinse in and let your hair air dry. Repeat each day until your hair is the desired shade. If you prefer a slightly more intensive treatment, you can use a camomile mask on your hair rather than a rinse. Boil about 1 cup of water and add about 4 camomile tea bags. Steep the tea bags for 15-20 minutes. Allow the tea to cool. Mix about 2 tablespoons of plain natural yogurt into the tea (2 tablespoons is best for medium-length hair; if your hair is shorter, use less; if your hair is longer, use more). Apply the mask and cover your hair with a shower cap, saran wrap, or, if you have neither of those, a towel. Leave the mask on for an hour, then shampoo and condition as usual. Repeat once or twice a week until your hair reaches the desired shade. Cinnamon can naturally lighten your hair without any damaging effects. Grind up 3 tablespoons of cinnamon. Freshly ground cinnamon is optimal to use, but if you can't grind your own, you can use commercially ground cinnamon. Mix the cinnamon with a few tablespoons of conditioner. Mix in the cinnamon thoroughly. Spread the mix throughout your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap, saran wrap, or, if you have neither of those, a towel. Leave on for four hours (or overnight). Shampoo and condition the following day like normal. Repeat several times a week until you achieve the desired shade. Honey can naturally lighten your hair without damaging it, and, as a bonus, honey's beneficial to both your hair and scalp. Honey, however, lightens hair more slowly than many other methods. Combine 1/3 cup honey with 1/4 cup conditioner. Mix well. Apply the mixture through your hair. Cover your hair with a shower cap, saran wrap, of, if you have neither, a towel. Leave on for four hours or overnight. Shampoo and condition the following day like normal. Repeat to achieve desired shade.
Summary:
Apply lemon juice and sit in the sun. Apply hydrogen peroxide and sit in the sun. Use a camomile tea rinse. Use a camomile tea mask. Add cinnamon to your conditioner. Add honey to your conditioner.
