Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat small meals regularly. Opt to increase calories when possible. Seek nutrient dense foods. Eat your favorite foods more often.

Answer: Low appetite is a common side effect of cancer treatments. Oftentimes, you may lack the appetite to finish a full meal all at once. You can try to combat this by eating smaller meals throughout the day. Eat about every 2 hours. Have small meals as well as snacks. Ask your doctor for a reasonable calorie count and try to break that down throughout your daily meals. Do not wait until you feel hungry as you might not notice hunger pains if you're feeling nauseous from treatment. Try to prepare meals and snacks ahead of time or have someone do so for you. It can be hard to make something to eat if you're not feeling well. Whenever you have the chance, add more calories to a dish. There are many ways to add a few hundred more calories to an existing meal: Use whole milk and cream over skim or fat free varieties. Use milk instead of water for canned soup and packet sauces. Add grated cheese to pasta, mashed potatoes, eggs, and other dishes. Use extra filling in sandwiches. Buy full fat dairy products. Serve vegetables with a heavy sauce. When trying to gain weight with cancer, you need to do so in a healthy manner. Nutrient dense foods have a lot of nutrients. While they tend to be low calorie, you can mix nutrient-dense foods with other high calorie options to help you gain weight and get necessary calories. Nutrient dense foods include: Fruits and vegetables Whole grains and whole wheats Seafood and lean poultry, like meats, beans, eggs, and nuts. If you're struggling to keep your appetite strong, try to make yourself the kinds of foods you really enjoy. Eating your favorite meals more often can help entice you to eat even if your appetite is poor. Try to cook foods you really enjoy and eat them on a regular basis.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Visit your family doctor for a physical exam. Choose the best medical professional for your diagnosis. Schedule an appointment with a mental health professional. Assemble health records. Bring employment records. Gather report cards and school records. Bring your partner or family member with you. Rule out other disorders. Recognize the possibility of comorbidity with ADHD.

Answer: It's a good idea to have a routine physical that will assess your overall health. Your doctor may also order specific tests, such as a blood test that checks lead levels, a blood test that looks for thyroid disease, and a CT scan or MRI to check brain activity. Different types of doctors can offer different expertise. It may be helpful to visit more than one doctor to get a full diagnosis and treatment plan. A psychiatrist is trained in diagnosing ADHD and is licensed to prescribe medication. This person may not be trained in counseling. A psychologist is trained in diagnosing ADHD and is trained in counseling. This person is not licensed to prescribe medication in most states; however, psychologists in New Mexico, Louisiana, and Illinois can prescribe medication. Your family doctor is familiar with your medical history but may lack the specialized knowledge about ADHD. This person is also not trained in counseling. A psychiatrist or psychologist who specializes in ADHD issues can make the diagnosis for you about ADHD. This person will interview you to get a detailed idea of your past and current life experiences and challenges. Bring your health records to your appointment, as these may indicate certain health conditions that mimic symptoms of ADHD. Talk with your parents or other family members about your family medical history. ADHD can be genetic, so it is helpful for your doctor to know about your family's past medical issues. Many individuals with ADHD experience difficulty at work, including time management, focusing and managing projects. These challenges are often reflected in job performance reviews as well as the number and types of jobs you've held. Bring these records to your appointment. Your ADHD has likely been impacting you for years. You may have gotten poor grades or you may have frequently been in trouble in school. If you can find your old report cards and school records, bring them to your appointment. Go back as far as possible, even to elementary school. If you think your child has ADHD, bring his or her report cards and samples of school work to the appointment. The mental health professional may also request behavior reports from your child's teachers. It can be extremely useful for the therapist to talk with other people about your possible ADHD. It might be hard for you to say that you're constantly restless or that you have trouble concentrating. Many disorders mimic some of the symptoms of ADHD, contributing to misdiagnoses. Some of the conditions that may resemble ADHD include learning disabilities, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, epilepsy, thyroid dysfunction and sleep disorders. Talk with your doctor or mental health professional about whether you have any of these disorders. Comorbidity is the presence of two disorders in one patient. As if having an ADHD diagnosis isn't challenging enough, one out of every five with ADHD is diagnosed with another serious disorder (depression and bipolar disorder are common partners). One-third of children with ADD also have a behavioral disorder (conduct disorder, oppositional defiance disorder). ADHD tends to pair up with learning disabilities and anxiety, too.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Line a baking sheet with foil. Combine the brown sugar and cayenne. Coat the bacon in the sugar/cayenne mixture. Cook your bacon at 400F (204C). Cool your bacon. Crumble your bacon.

Answer: Place foil over a baking sheet. Make sure to cover the sheet completely in foil. In a small mixing bowl, measure out your brown sugar and cayenne. Use a fork or spoon to mix them until they make a uniform mixture. Lay your bacon out on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the sugar/cayenne mixture over the bacon until it's fully coated. Flip it over and coat the other side. Cook the bacon for seven minutes. Then, flip the bacon over and cook it for an additional five minutes. When done, bacon should be dark and crispy. Remove your bacon from the oven and use a spatula to move it to a plate. Let the bacon cool for about 10 to 20 minutes or until it's cold to the touch. Use your fingers to crumble the bacon into tiny pieces. Strive to get the bacon pieces as small as possible, so they look similar to bacon bits.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Refer to your syllabus as needed. Form a study group. Go to your professors with questions. Go to review sessions if they are offered. Use a tutor.

Answer:
It's important you understand the expectations of your course as you're studying. Use the syllabus as your guide if you feel overwhelmed or lost while studying. The syllabus will outline major concepts, grade breakdowns, and so on. For example, say you've been getting frustrated memorizing the years of major scientific breakthroughs for a science course. The syllabus says the goals of the course are to help you gain a better understanding of scientific theory. It's more important for you to understand the overarching theories than know the exact dates. Find peers who are hard workers and do well in the course. Ask them to form a study group. The right study group can really help you stay focused and engaged and gain a better understanding of course material. Choose the right peers. If your study group is made up of friends, studying may turn into socializing fast. Pick good students who are genuinely engaged in class. Bounce off one another's strengths. If a classmate is confused on a subject you're skilled at, and does well in an area that confuses you, they would make a good partner. The two of you can help one another out. There is nothing to be embarrassed about if you have questions. Everyone gets confused sometimes and needs some extra help. If you have questions on a concept or subject, e-mail your professor or go to office hours. They may be able to offer you tips and tricks to better understand the material. Your professor's office hours should be stated on their green sheet, which they handed out at the beginning of the semester. When e-mailing your professor, state your class day and time in the subject header. Professors often teach more than one class. Some teachers have review sessions each week or before an exam. Always make a habit of going if you have time in your schedule. Review sessions can help you gain a better understanding of course materials. They can also be a great place to ask professors or teaching assistants questions. If your teacher does not offer a review session, ask them if they are willing to do it. If enough students are interested in a review session, they may create one. If your campus has tutoring centers, make use of them if you ever need help. You can also look for a private tutor in your area online. A little one-on-one help can go a long way if you're confused about a subject. Not all tutors advertise in the tutoring center on college campuses. Some tutors post their fliers on the school bulletin board, alongside other fliers for housing and textbook sales. If you cannot find any tutors, ask your classmates. Some of them may be willing to help you before or after class, and not all of them will charge a fee.
