Q: You may want to keep track of foods and beverages that cause you any problems. Write down the foods you eat and see how you feel about 1 hour of eating. If the food you ate an hour ago is bothering you, you should eliminate that from your diet. Commonly reported hyperacidity triggers include: Citrus fruit Caffeinated beverages Chocolate Tomatoes Garlic, onions Alcohol Note: Most of these foods have not been studied enough to make a definitive claim. It's more important to find out what triggers your symptoms than to avoid this exact list. If your bed allows for it, raise the head of it by 6 to 8 inches. Gravity will keep the acid in your stomach. Don't just pile up pillows, though. These tend to bend your neck and body in such a way that increases the pressure. It will make the hyperacidity worse. If you're carrying extra weight, losing weight may reduce some of the pressure on your lower esophageal sphincter, keeping stomach acid from leaking through. However, you may not need to lose weight, so check with your doctor before attempting to do so. Then, eat a healthy diet based on fresh produce and lean protein and exercise for 30 minutes per day. Decrease the amount of food you eat at any one time. This may reduce the amount of stress and pressure on your stomach. Switching to smaller plates and bowls may help because it tricks your mind into thinking you're eating more food than you really are. Chew each bite several times, then swallow before taking another bite. This helps your stomach digest food more easily and quickly, leaving less food in the stomach adding pressure on the LES. You can also slow yourself down by putting your fork down between bites. Pressure will increase the discomfort of hyperacidity. You can experience excess pressure because of hiatal hernias (when the upper part of the stomach moves above the diaphragm), pregnancy, constipation, or being overweight. Don't wear clothes that constrict your stomach or abdomen.
A: Avoid foods and drinks that trigger your symptoms. Raise the head of your bed if symptoms interfere with sleep. Ask your doctor if you could benefit from losing weight. Eat smaller meals so you don't get too full. Eat slowly to improve your digestion. Check that your stomach isn't under undue pressure.

Article: The pork will need to be thick enough for you to leave the thermometer probe inserted throughout cooking, so some cuts of pork may not be appropriate for a continuous read thermometer. Anything one inch or thicker should be fine. Thin cuts of pork are not well suited for leaving a thermometer inserted throughout cooking. Ribs and bacon may be too thin to use a thermometer. A continuous read thermometer is meant to stay in the pork throughout its cooking time, but you'll want to do any preparations, brines, and the like before inserting it. You can insert the thermometer first, but it may get in the way of your preparations. According to the USDA, pork needs to be cooked to between 145F (63C) and 160F (71C) in order to be safe to eat. However, you can take the pork out of the oven a few degrees prior to the 145 mark to avoid overcooking. The internal temperature of the pork will continue to rise once you take it out, regardless of whether you cooked it in the oven or a slow cooker. Never eat pork that hasn't had its internal temperature brought up to at least 145F (63C). With ground pork, 160F (71C) should be treated as the lowest number, rather than 140F (60C). Although you may remove the pork a few degrees before it reached the recommended temperature, heat from the outside portions of the meat will continue to spread into the middle, raising the temperature even out of the oven. Let a thick cut of pork (1 inch (2.5cm) or bigger) rest for 15 minutes before eating, but thinner ones will take less time. Keep an eye on the thermometer to ensure it passes the 145F (63C) mark before serving. If it doesn't, keep cooking it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Make sure the pork is at least 1 inch (2.5cm) thick. Prepare the pork to be cooked. Wait until the thermometer reads at least 140F (60C). Take the pork out of the oven and let it sit.

Problem: Article: After you've been replaced or rejected, you may start to feel negatively about yourself. You may start to believe you're not worthy of relationships, but you are. Learning to accept yourself again may take some time and may be challenging, but you can do it. Give yourself a break for any mistakes you've made. Everyone makes mistakes, and you can learn and move on from them. This knowledge can enrich your future relationships. Avoid calling yourself names. That's not going to help you move forward. Even though you've been replaced or rejected, you will be okay with time. Remember that now you have more time to focus on yourself and find better relationships. Your ex might have moved on quickly, but this just shows they're not capable of being alone. Prove to yourself that you're capable of being alone by: Focusing on your unique abilities and qualities. Starting a new hobby. Participating in sports or other active pursuits. Focusing on your education or your job. To help heal from your sense of being replaced, spend time with other people. Reconnecting with others and trying to find somewhere else where you belong will help you get over the loss of your other friends. If you're not sure where to meet new people, you can try: Volunteering. Joining a sports team. Talking to someone new at work or at school. Joining a gym. Being replaced or rejected never feels good.

By accepting this, you can focus your energy on yourself and creating better relationships.
Summary: Accept yourself. Stay positive. Meet new people. Accept that exclusion is a part of life.

Q: You can do this by using your toothbrush to brush your tongue. The point nearest to the front of your tongue that makes you gag is where you should concentrate. Don't stick your fingers in your mouth. You might induce vomiting. Yes, you'll gag, and it will be unpleasant, but it won't last long. Spend about ten seconds brushing that area (and gagging). Then call it a night. Repeat the process over the next few nights in the exact same spot. Your gag should gradually decrease each time you do it. Once you can touch your toothbrush to the original starting point without gagging, it's time to move the toothbrush farther back. Try brushing to inch (6mm12mm) behind where your gag used to begin. Repeat the process as you did in the first spot. Do this each time you make progress desensitizing small areas in front. Keep moving it farther back until you've reached the farthest visible point of your tongue. Eventually, the toothbrush will come into contact with your soft palate, if it hasn't already. Be persistent. This process takes about a month to complete. Afterward, you should be able to have a doctor swab the back of your throat without gagging. You might have to repeat the process from time to time, as your reflex might return if you don't. A good way to keep yourself desensitized is to brush your tongue regularly. Not only will it help quell the gag reflex, it'll also give you fresher breath!
A:
Find out where your gag reflex starts. Brush your tongue right where your gag begins. Increase the brushing area. Move the brush farther back. Desensitize everyday.
