In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're thinking about doing a water fast, consult your healthcare provider. Though fasting may offer health benefits for some people, others should avoid it. Be sure to discuss your medications and medical conditions with your doctor to determine if water fasting is safe for you. They will likely perform a physical exam and possibly do some blood tests. If you take medication, you will have to discuss with your doctor whether to continue to take your medication while fasting, or if any dose changes need to occur. It's best to fast only with a doctor's supervision and input, especially if you're fasting over 3 days or have any medical conditions. Find a doctor who is trained in fasting and have them guide you and monitor your condition during the fast. Ask your primary doctor to supervise you or suggest another professional who can. After 2-3 days of water fasting you may experience dizziness if you stand up too quickly. Avoid this by getting up slowly and doing some deep breathing before standing. If you do get dizzy, immediately sit or lie down until it passes. You can also try putting your head between your knees. If you become so dizzy that you lose consciousness, stop fasting and see your doctor. It's not uncommon to feel some dizziness, a little weakness, nausea, or occasional skipped heartbeats while fasting. However, stop fasting and seek medical attention if you lose consciousness, feel confused, have more heart palpitations than one or two a day, have severe stomach discomfort or headache, or any other symptom that feels alarming to you. You may experience a drop in stamina and energy during this time. Don't overexert yourself. Maintain healthy sleep patterns. Fasting is all about rest - physical, emotional, sensory and physiological. If you feel like napping, nap. Read uplifting material. Listen to your body and don't push yourself physically. If you feel tired and "out of it," do not operate a vehicle. Your energy may fluctuate between feeling weak and tired and feeling energetic. Even when you have lots of energy, don't exert yourself. Instead, try gentle, restorative yoga. Yoga is a calming way of stretching your muscles and getting some light exercise. Yoga and light stretching may feel good to some people, and be too vigorous for others. Listen to your body and only do what feels comfortable.
Summary: Visit your doctor before water fasting. Fast under supervision of a trained professional. Avoid dizziness. Differentiate normal from abnormal side effects. Get plenty of rest during your water fast. Avoid intense exercise during this time.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When their heart is struggling, it tends to make the cat lethargic. This is because even a slight increase in activity, such as walking or going up stairs, places increased demands on the circulatory system. Heart failure in cats can be caused by value issues, heart muscle problems, electrical conduction problems, hyperthyroidism, and congenital problems. If the circulation is inadequate, then the cat feels light-headed, dizzy, and weak. This causes the cat to learn it's best not to move around much, so it tends to rest instead. Another early warning sign of heart disease is if the cat breathes more quickly, even at rest. This is known as an increased respiratory rate. The cat breathes more quickly because of fluid accumulation in the lungs, which makes it hard for your cat to absorb oxygen. In order to get enough oxygen, the cat has to take more breaths. If you are suspicious about your cat breathing quickly, watch it while it's resting and count the number of breaths taken in one minute. Repeat this several times to be certain that you are getting a true figure. You will need to take this information to your vet, since it's normal for cats to hyperventilate at the vet's office, making it hard to take an accurate reading. The normal respiratory rate in the cat is between 20-30 breaths a minute. More than 35-40 breaths a minute at rest is considered high, and over 40 requires a vet's attention. Another sign of trouble is mouth breathing or panting. It is unusual for a cat to breathe through its mouth unless it is very stressed or has been playing vigorously. Mouth-breathing is your cat's attempt to get more oxygen because not enough is getting absorbed. If the cat is short of air, it may adopt the "air hunger" position. The cat crouches on its belly with its head and neck extended in a straight line. The elbows are held away from the chest in order to expand the chest as much as possible with each breath. Many cats with heart disease have poor appetites. When the cat swallows, it has to stop breathing. If the cat is having trouble breathing, then it won't stop breathing long enough to eat.
Summary: Notice if your cat seems lethargic. Feel for an abnormally high respiratory rate. Look for panting. Watch out for the "air hunger" position. Know that a poor appetite is a cause for concern.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Once you've made the decision to buy a new dryer, the next step is to find one that fits within your price range. Research your options, looking at the least expensive models first, then work your way up from there. Finding a dryer similar to the one you've been using can be a good place to start. Appliances vary in price from affordable basic units to more deluxe styles equipped with a host of sophisticated features. Come up with a budget that you'd be willing and able to spend, and stick that number to make the most economical purchase possible. Now may be a good time to invest in features that your previous model lacked. Newer appliances boast customizable settings, higher loading capacities and even energy efficient drying modes that can all make your life easier, especially if you're used to dealing with an unreliable unit. These types of added conveniences usually justify a slightly higher price point. While you're shopping around, size up different models to make sure they'll fit comfortably in the space you have. Choose from various colors and finishes and settle on one that you like. Assuming you're only replacing your dryer, you'll want to pick out one that's consistent with the look of your current washer. Both appliances should be roughly the same size so that you can place them close together without creating an obstruction. Sticking to the same color scheme and general construction will also keep mismatched units from being so obvious. It's important to choose appliances with similar capacitiesthe dryer should be able to hold the washing machine's maximum load size. If you have the space, consider buying a washer/dryer combo. That way, your appliances will match, and you can be sure that they'll both stay in good working order for years to come.
Summary:
Compare the prices of newer models. Look for a dryer that suits your needs. Match your new dryer with your washing machine.
