Problem: Article: Invest in a small scanner that you can run your old receipts through. Create a center of operations near your computer or laptop, then dedicate a chunk of time each week or month to scanning and uploading your receipts to a digital interface. Don't toss out any paper receipts until you've successfully scanned them to your computer or laptop. If you don't have a scanner on hand, download a scanning app to your phone, instead. Use this app to scan an image of the receipt as soon as you receive it. Some great apps on the market are Scannable, Scanner Pro, CamScanner, and Genius. For easier access and retrieval, try to convert all of your scans into a PDF file format. Create digital folders with clear, efficient headings. If you have a chronological filing system, create folders labeled by month or year. If you have an alphabetical filing system, consider making folders based on a letter. Within these large folders, create more specific subfolders that can help you organize and categorize your receipts in more detail. For instance, if you use a categorical filing system, label one of your folders as "Groceries." Within this folder, create subfolders that correlate to different stores. If you use a chronological filing system, you could have a folder labeled "2020," then have subfolders labeled as January, February, and so on. Think of an efficient shorthand that will make it simple for you to find and reference the receipt later on. If you prefer a chronological filing system, list the year, followed by the specific date. If you like categorical filing, you could label the receipt with the store name and the date of the purchase. Experiment with different label names until you find a system that works best for you and your household. For instance, you could label individual files like: "Jan_04_2019" or you could try something like "Supermarket_Jan_04." If you prefer a categorical or alphabetical filing system, you could label your folders as "Albertson Grocery Run 1/14" or something similar. Some computers let you label and tag files by color. If your computer or laptop has this feature, try using it to better sort your receipts. For instance, you could label your grocery receipts with a green tag and your gas receipts with a blue tag. Take an empty USB stick and insert it into your computer or laptop. Use your cursor to copy and paste your receipt files from the computer to the storage stick. Try to update this storage stick every few months so you have an up-to-date back-up of your receipts. An external hard drive could work for this, too.
Summary: Scan your old receipts so you can recycle the slips. Sort your scans into digital folders and subfolders. Label your files by date so you can access them quickly. Create a back-up on your computer to protect and secure your scans.

Problem: Article: To lower your cholesterol naturally, as well as keep your metabolism balanced, add more astringent foods to your diet. Astringent foods are foods such as dried beans, i.e., lentils and garbanzo beans, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, apples, and pears. Bitter foods will also help you keep your cholesterol in balance. Add bitter foods, such as leafy greens, i.e., spinach, chard, mustard greens, and kale, to your diet. These greens help cleanse the bowel, which prevents bad cholesterol from accumulating in the body. Try to avoid sweet grains, like wheat, pasta, rice, bread, and sweet milk products. Replace these sweet grains with healthier grains, like barley, oats, and quinoa. Also, limit your intake of sour foods, such as yogurt, cheese, tomatoes, vinegar, and lemons. Try to avoid fried foods, junk food, and sugary candy and sweets, as well.
Summary: Add more astringent foods to your diet. Eat bitter foods. Avoid salty, sweet, and sour foods.

Problem: Article: Bend your knees to about a 45 degree angle and lower your weight at your hips. Your head should come to a stop at around chest level or slightly lower. Unlike the exercise-focused variation, the version of the duck walk designed for use on stage keeps you in a more vertical position so that you can continue playing or singing. Chuck Berry did his signature duck walk quite low. This made it look impressive and memorable, and also a bit humorous. Angus Young from AC/DC, another notable representative of the move, tended to stay in an upright stance, making it look more like a game of hopscotch. Lift your non-dominant leg and extend it straight out in front of you at an angle with the floor. Keep your dominant leg planted for better stability and balance. Once again, your entire foot should be flat on the floor, with more of your weight hovering over your heel. Since the "rock and roll" style duck walk is done on one leg, it can be harder to balance and may tire you out faster. Try switching up which leg you use from time to time until you can do it on both sides. From this skewed-leg position, take a small hop off your grounded foot. You don't need to try to jump too high or far: only move forward a couple inches at a time. Hop along in this manner on one foot to accentuate your performance. Let your extended leg hover just over the ground, or touch down with your heel if you need to correct your balance. Make your hops small and controlled. Your head shouldn't bob up and down too much while you're traveling forward. If you want your duck walk to look more like Chuck Berry's, flare your non-hopping leg up and down a little with each hop. Straighten your back and keep your chest up. This will allow you to create enough room to play the guitar, saxophone or another instrument while duck walking. A more elevated body position also won't require you to use your hands to help preserve your balance, freeing them up for groovy solos. Practice while holding or actually playing your instrument to see if you can pull off the two tasks simultaneously.
Summary: Squat down at a slight angle. Stand on one foot. Use small hops to travel forward. Focus on your upper body.

Problem: Article: In addition to clove oil, you can also use clove in its whole herbal form. Take one to three whole pieces of clove and place them on the tooth right next to the painful one in your mouth. Wait a few minutes for the clove pieces to soften, then gently bite down on them, releasing the clove oils. Leave them in the area for 20 minutes. Afterwards, rinse your mouth out with a warm salt water solution. The cloves can taste really strong and cause tingling in your mouth. This is normal. The taste should disappear in your mouth about 10 minutes. You can buy whole cloves at most grocery stores. In addition to its whole form, you can also use ground clove as well. Measure out teaspoon of ground cloves into a bowl. Mix in teaspoon of olive oil and stir together until mixed. Take a cotton swab and dip it into the mixture, then apply the clove infused oil to the painful tooth and the surrounding gum. Leave it on the tooth for 20 minutes. After this, rinse your mouth out with warm salt water. You can also just add a pinch of the ground clove directly in your mouth on the area of your painful tooth. Your saliva will mix with the clove and help your tooth. You can buy ground cloves in the baking section of most grocery stores. Clove infused water can also help your tooth pain. Put 10 to 15 whole pieces of clove in a pot of water. Let it simmer on the stove for 15 minutes. Remove it from the heat and let it sit until it cools to room temperature. Strain the cloves out and pour the infused water into a cup. Rinse your mouth with it, swishing it around your teeth for a minute or so. Spit the rinse into a sink. You can use the remaining mouth rinse for days after you make it. Keep it in a sealed bottle and use it every time you feel pain in your teeth. It will also help kill bacteria and leave your mouth feeling refreshed. If the taste is too much, you can add sage or thyme to the mixture.
Summary:
Try fresh whole cloves. Use ground cloves. Make a clove-infused mouth rinse.
