Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Exercise lightly. Avoid unpasteurized dairy products and raw meat. Refrain from using tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs. Avoid radiation and poisons. Reduce your stress level. Again, limit your caffeine intake. Explore the possibility of taking progesterone.

Answer: It's very beneficial to you and your baby to get moderate exercise everyday, but avoid over-exerting yourself. Extreme exercise may increase your risk of miscarriage because it heightens your body temperature and reduces the blood flow available to the fetus. Avoid contact sports that might cause you to jolt or fall and potentially injure the baby. Infections caused by these products include listeria and toxoplasmosis, which can increase your risk of miscarriage. Although rare, these infections can be avoided by simply making sure that all of your meat is cooked (this means no raw sushi!) and that your dairy products are pasteurized. As with any pregnancy, drugs should be avoided completely while attempting to conceive and especially once you know you are pregnant. In addition to being extremely unhealthy for you and your baby, using these drugs can also increase your risk of miscarriage. Do not get x-rays of any kind during your pregnancy. Stay away from materials such as arsenic, lead, formaldehyde, benzene, and ethylene oxide, as these may harm your baby. When you are stressed out, your body has a more difficult time fighting off sickness and keeping you healthy. Try to keep calm throughout your pregnancy by practicing any techniques that may help you relieve stress. For some this may be deep breathing, meditation, visualization, maintaining a yoga practice, or even painting or gardening. Do not drink more than two cups of coffee per day or ingest more than about 200mg of caffeine per day. A female sex hormone, progesterone causes secretory changes in the uterus lining that are necessary for a fertilized egg to thrive. Some miscarriages may be a result of inadequate progesterone secretion. During the first trimester of pregnancy, progesterone may help reduce the risk of miscarriage. Ask your doctor if progesterone is an appropriate option for you to consider.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Protect your knee from further damage. Immobilize your knee. Compress your knee. Elevate your knee.

Answer: Limit the amount of moving around you do right after the injury occurs. Injured ligaments should be well rested to promote faster healing and to avoid further injury. Make sure to avoid placing any excessive pressure on your MCL, as this could cause further complications. Another way to avoid damaging your knee further is to avoid exposing your knee to hot temperatures for at least 48 hours after the injury occurs. Hot temperatures could cause your knee to swell up and become even more tender. Your doctor may recommend that you wear a knee brace for a period of time (the length of time depends on how badly the knee was injured). A brace can help to keep your knee stable, which in turn can keep further damage from occurring. Use an ice compress to do this. Cold temperatures can help to numb the area so you feel less pain, while also restricting the flow of blood to the area, which can help to bring the swelling down. Do not place an ice pack or ice directly against your skin; make sure to wrap it in a hand towel first to avoid damaging your skin. Hold the ice pack against your knee for 15 to 20 minutes, then let your knee rest. You can repeat this process throughout the day. You should elevate your knee above the level of your heart; doing this can help to keep the amount of swelling that occurs to a minimum. Continue to elevate your knee as much as possible for at least 48 to 72 hours after the injury occurs. You can use a pillow to prop up your leg.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take wider corners when turning. Wear a helmet and safety gear. Practice in an empty area when starting out. Keep the bike chain tight.

Answer:
Because the pedals are always moving on a fixed gear, turning can feel very different than when riding freewheel bike. Don't take corners too tightly or your pedals may end up scraping against the ground or you might topple over. Slow down significantly when going around corners and take them wider than you normally would on a freewheel bike. Purchase bike safety gear at a bike store, department store, or online. A helmet will protect your head if you fall off of the bike. If you are just learning how to ride a bike, you should also consider wearing additional protective gear like knee pads, elbow pads, and a mouthguard. Make sure that the helmet fits snugly, but is not too tight on your head. Ensure that your bike has reflectors if you plan on riding it when it gets dark out. Many areas require you to have a front light and rear reflector while riding at night. Even if you have experience riding a freewheel bike, riding a fixed gear feels completely different. For that reason, you should practice riding it in an area that's free of obstacles until you're confident enough to ride it in other places.\ If you notice that the bike chain is drooping or loose, it could make it harder to ride the bike and could damage the chain. You can tighten the chain by unscrewing and repositioning the rear wheel further back. Check your bike chain periodically to make sure that it's tight. Professionals at the bike shop will also be able to replace or tighten your chain.
