Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Detangle your hair gently as needed. Get regular trims. Wear protective hairstyles. Take vitamins that support hair growth. Care for your overall health.

Answer: Detangling can be a challenge with kinky or curly hair, and using harsh methods can cause breakage and inhibit growth. Moisturize your hair and then carefully remove any tangles with a wide-toothed comb, boar bristle brush, or your fingers. Finger-combing is the gentlest method of detangling hair, so this may be the best option if you have fragile 4B or 4C hair. Always start detangling at the ends of your hair, and work your way up toward the roots. Try detangling your hair once a week, and adjust how frequently you detangle depending on your hair's needs. The ends of your hair are susceptible to dryness and breakage. Once the ends start to break, the damage can easily travel up the shaft of the hair and inhibit growth. Get your hair trimmed once every other month to keep the ends healthy and prevent any damage from spreading. While tight weaves and braids can damage your hair and scalp, other hairstyles can protect your hair from damage and promote growth. Use gentle styles that are easy to maintain, like box braids, Marley braids, cornrows, or twists. Avoid using rubber bands to tie up your hair, since these can cause breakage. Use gentle fabric hair ties instead. There are a variety of supplements on the market that can help strengthen your hair and promote optimal growth rates. Before you start taking any supplement, talk to your doctor about the possible risks and benefits. Biotin (vitamin B-7) is the vitamin most commonly recommended for promoting hair growth. However, other supplements may also be helpful, such as: Vitamin D B-complex vitamins Vitamin E Vitamin A You need a healthy body to grow healthy hair. You can maximize your hair growth potential and keep your hair strong by getting proper nutrition and minimizing stress on your body and mind. Do your best to: Eat a balanced diet rich in leafy greens, lean protein, healthy fats, and dietary fiber. Stay hydrated. Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night. Get at least half an hour of physical activity each day. Engage in stress-relieving activities, like yoga, mindful meditation, or hobbies you enjoy.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take your silver jewelry to a jeweler if you need it resized. Consider that silver jewelry repair may take longer and cost more than gold. Look for a jeweler who has a laser welding machine.

Answer: Resizing silver jewelry is much more difficult and time consuming than resizing gold. When melting down the silver to resize it, it gets very dirty through oxidization. A jeweler will be able to make sure the piece returns to its previous shiny state after resizing. Keep in mind that if you have a silver ring with a stone in it, some jewelers may tell you it can't be resized without taking the whole ring apart. Silver conducts heat through the entire ring, making it difficult to resize when there is a stone setting on the piece. Even though the silver itself is less valuable per ounce compared to gold, it is time consuming to repair. A jeweler might price the work at a high rate simply because of how long it is going to take them to repair the piece and then polish it back to its normal coloring. Laser welding is the safest way to resize and work on silver, as it won't harm the metal the way traditional torch welding will. Laser welding will allow a jeweler to resize a silver ring with a stone on it, for example, when the same couldn't be done with traditional torch welding. A laser welding machine can cost upwards of $20,000, so smaller, independent jewelers might be less likely to own or have access to one.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Separate physical measurements from believing. Replace proof with trust. Stop trying to control everything.

Answer: Think of knowing God not by measurable events, but through an intangible presence in everything you do. God is Spirit, experienced intuitively, somewhat like experiencing love, air and gravity, and unfathomable love and grace. Knowing of God has more to do with the heart (core beliefs) than with objects. The belief you form through faith and in a Higher Power than yourself, does not just happen. You do not wake up one morning, brush your teeth, and say, "today I am going to believe in God. Today I am going to have faith". Something has to happen for you to need and to seek out that faith. If you approach faith from this premise, then you will see that believing in God is about reflecting on the impact He has on you and on others. You'll find that believing is not by material means but by personal development of spiritual faith, since God is generally viewed as a living spirit, not having a decaying body, He can be measured by intangible things, like acknowledging His presence, our beliefs, plus our ways and reactions. Think about all the things you believe in. You may believe that a team is the best team in your sport, for example. But what is this based on? Do you favor them because they have superior statistics and more championships? Chances are you favor them because of the specific impact they have on you as a fan. Your appreciation for them is based on something inside you, individual, and immeasurable. Having faith involves taking a choice. This means deciding to trust without absolute certainty. Chances are you make decisions on faith every day. If you've ever ordered food from a restaurant, you've taken a step of faith. That particular restaurant may have a high customer rating and stellar health score, but chances are you haven't witnessed firsthand your food being made. You have to trust that the chefs have washed their hands and prepared your food properly/safely. Seeing isn't always believing. There are still things science can't measure, yet people still believe in them. For example, astronomers cannot actually see black holes in outer space, because by definition they absorb materials and the light that is necessary for us to observe them. But by observing the behavior of matter and the orbits of stars around a black hole, we can predict that one is present. God is also non-viewable but has knowable qualities and observable influence, that draws people to Him. Think of a time a family member has been sick and gotten better. Did you ever pray or hope to something higher for their recovery? Maybe this event is like an orbiting star, and God is like gravity that is exerting His pull on all things. Probably across all religions that have a concept of God, this belief is constant: God created all things. Because God is the creator, only He is in full control. Relinquishing control of certain aspects of your life does not mean you are powerless. Don't think of God as a puppeteer pulling your strings, but as a parent keeping you safe. You still choose the course of your life, but life may not turn out the way you plan or wish. In times like this, it's important to remember that God is there to help you. Knowing that you are not in control of everything can be empowering. Recovery programs like Alcoholics Anonymous are founded on the premise that people are not fully in control, and that belief in a higher power restores balance by yielding one's broken ego. Once we accept that we cannot control everything, we learn to accept things we can control. Consider the Serenity Prayer: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." There are many things you can change but things you can't. You may believe that there are higher powers that shape your life's outcome. This is a great starting place for discovering faith in God.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Stay hydrated. Cut back on oxalate-rich foods. Avoid salt and animal protein. Eat foods rich in calcium. Take magnesium-potassium citrate supplements. Ask your doctor before taking any supplements. Incorporate antioxidants into your diet. Change your usual sleeping position. Practice healthy weight-management techniques. Talk to your doctor about medications to prevent kidney stones.

Answer:
Drink plenty of water and other clear fluids throughout the day. This can help you produce enough urine to flush out the crystals that can build up in your kidneys and form stones. For most people, drinking 3 litres (13c) to 4 litres (17c) every day is enough. If you're not sure whether you're drinking enough water, talk to your doctor. They can do tests to find out if you are producing a healthy amount of urine. Foods with oxalate in them can contribute to the formation of certain kinds of kidney stones, such as calcium oxalate stones. Try to avoid common foods containing oxalate, such as: Rhubarb Beets Spinach Swiss chard Sweet potatoes Chocolate Tea Black pepper Soy Nuts If you have a history of kidney stones, sticking to a diet that is low in sodium and meat can help. Both salt and animal products can cause substances to accumulate in your urine that may trigger the formation of stones. Try to eat no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. Depending on your history, your doctor may recommend reducing your sodium intake even more, to around 1,500 mg per day. Limit your meat intake each day to a piece no larger than a deck of playing cards. Although too much calcium in your urine can lead to kidney stones, it's still important to get calcium in your diet. To avoid getting too much calcium while still meeting your dietary requirements, opt for foods with calcium in them rather than using calcium supplements. Foods with a high calcium content include many green vegetables (such as collard greens, broccoli, and kale), dairy products (like milk, yogurt, and cheese), and certain kinds of seafood (such as canned fish with bones). Your body absorbs calcium more easily if you take it with vitamin D. Look for foods and drinks fortified with both calcium and vitamin D (such as some juices and dairy products). If you're not sure how much dietary calcium you should be getting, ask your doctor. They can recommend a good amount based on factors like your age, sex, and overall health. These supplements can help reduce the buildup of substances in your urine that cause kidney stones. Ask your doctor if they recommend magnesium and potassium citrate supplements for you. Talk to your doctor about the best dosage of these supplements. Urologists usually recommend a total of 1,600 mg of potassium citrate and 500 mg of magnesium citrate per day. Some supplements can contribute to kidney stones. For example, high doses of vitamin C and vitamin D can lead to kidney stones. Show your doctor any supplements you are or plan on taking to make sure they won't cause a recurrence of kidney stones. If your doctor approves a supplement, ask them for the correct amount you should be taking. A supplement may be healthy in small amounts but harmful in large doses. The best way to do this is to eat plenty of colorful fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants can reduce your risk of developing kidney stones by reducing the amount of calcium oxalate in your urine. Good sources of antioxidants include berries, apples, citrus fruits, artichokes, kale, bell peppers, and fruit juices (such as pomegranate juice). Take care to avoid antioxidant sources that are also oxalate-rich, such as sweet potatoes and nuts. You can find a list of more antioxidant-rich foods here: https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/antioxidants Sleeping in the same position all the time may contribute to the formation of kidney stones, especially if you sleep on your side. Stones tend to form on the side where you usually sleep. If you have a tendency to get kidney stones on one side of your body, try sleeping on the other side for a while. If you currently have a kidney stone and you are waiting for it to pass, sleeping on the side with the stone in it may actually help. Once the stone is out, switch to sleeping on your other side. Maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent the formation of kidney stones. If you struggle with your weight, talk to your doctor or a dietitian about the best approach for losing weight and keeping it off. Kidney stones are linked to insulin resistance. If you are overweight, losing weight can help your body metabolize insulin more effectively. Depending on the type of kidney stones you tend to get, your doctor may be able to prescribe something to prevent new stones from forming. Some of the common preventative medications include: Medications containing thiazide or phosphate to prevent the formation of calcium stones. Allopurinol to prevent uric acid stones. Antibiotics to prevent struvite stones.
