Q: Since salt causes fluid to stay in your body and increases the size of your edema, avoid processed foods, meats, soups, and snack foods. Instead, opt for whole grains, unsalted snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, or fresh meat. Check the nutritional label and limit yourself to the recommended portion size for your meal. If possible, opt for low-sodium items so you don't consume as much salt. Rather than using salt to season your food, opt for different herbs, spices, or even lemon juice to add new flavors to your dishes. If you're going out to eat, ask them to prepare your food without salt and get condiments on the side. Even though edema is caused by fluid buildup, water helps flush the affected area and removes excess fluid. Try to have about 8 glasses of water spread throughout the day that are 8 fluid ounces (240ml) each. Do your best to avoid drinks that have caffeine or sugar since they can dehydrate you more. Many sports drinks have a high sodium content, so avoid having them. Limit the amount of alcohol or smoking of any kind since it stresses your body and can make you feel more dehydrated. Wait until your edema goes down or heals completely before you start drinking or smoking again, or else you may feel more pain or increase the size of the swollen area. Smoking and drinking can limit the nutrients getting to the edema and may cause it to get worse. Aim to be active for around 45 days each week for at least 30 minutes at a time. Try walking, jogging slowly, swimming, or lifting light weights since they won't stress your body out as much. As you get more comfortable with light exercises, try increasing the intensity or weight you're using to help relieve pain even more. Light exercise allows oxygen and nutrients to reach the affected area so it's able to heal faster. If you feel a lot of pain from your edema, talk to your doctor about what exercises will work best for you. Rub a moisturizing cream or lotion into the affected area 23 times each day so your skin doesn't dry out. Be mindful of the activities you're doing so you don't hurt yourself or get injured where you have swelling. If possible, try to keep the area covered with clothing so you're less likely to cut or scrape it. If you have dry skin, you're more prone to injury and it may take longer for you to recover.
A: Switch to a reduced-sodium diet to help control your fluid retention. Drink water throughout the day so you stay hydrated. Avoid drinking and smoking while you have edema. Incorporate light exercise into your daily routine to improve blood flow. Keep the swollen area protected and moisturized so you don't get injured.

Article: Add a pea-sized amount of toothpaste to your nail brush. Work the toothpaste into the brush bristles for a more even application. Choose a whitening toothpaste. It's okay to add more toothpaste if you want. Just as you did when you cleaned your nails with the brush, scrub under your nails to apply the toothpaste. Make sure that a thin layer of toothpaste remains under your nail. The toothpaste needs time for the whitening action to work. After the three minutes, wash the toothpaste from your fingernails. Squeeze the juice from two lemons, or use a container of lemon juice. Do not add water to your lemon juice. You will just need enough lemon juice to soak your fingertips. You can find pre-squeezed lemon juice in the grocery store. Leave your fingertips in the bowl to give the lemon juice time to whiten your nails. After the ten minutes, rinse your hands in clean water. Pour two tablespoons (30 milliliters) of baking soda into a bowl. Add enough warm water to make a thick paste. If you accidentally put in too much water, it's ok to add some more baking soda to thicken the paste. Smooth the paste under your fingernails. Allow it to sit for five minutes before washing it off with warm water. Use soap and water to clean away any remaining residue from the whitening treatments. After you dry your hands, apply a moisturizing hand cream.

Q: Depending on the laws where you live, you may need to apply for a license from your local government. To find out if you need a license, inquire with your local law enforcement or animal control office. In some cities or states, any breeder with more than 5 or 10 intact female dogs and who sells puppies will need a license. In many places, breeders of hunting dogs are exempt from licensing. A whelping box is a large box where your female dog will birth and nurse its puppies. Your whelping box should be 2 feet (0.61m) high, 4 feet (1.2m), and 4 feet (1.2m) wide. Your female lab and her puppies will spend the first three weeks after birth in the box. Afterwards, the puppies and mother dog will be able to move into a cage or similar enclosure. In addition to a whelping box, you'll need cages to house your grown dogs, juveniles, and any other dogs you plan to keep as breeding stock. Grown dogs will need cages that are 42 inches (107 cm) long and 30 inches (76 cm) high. Juveniles and younger dogs will fit in smaller cages, but make sure to move them into large cages when they are mature. The dogs should be able to easily stand up, turn around, and lay stretched out in their cages. If they can't, the cages are too small. Collect towels and sheets from friends or family. If you can't get enough, you can purchase new towels or sheets to use as bedding. Then, spread them out in your whelping box and cages. This will turn the whelping box and cage into a comfortable place for your dogs. . In addition to cages, your dogs -- mature and juvenile -- will need access to open space. As a result, you should create two or three at least 20 by 40 foot (6 by 12 m) fenced areas in your yard. This way, you'll be able to have dogs of different sexes and ages outside at one time. When your puppies are 6-8 weeks old, you need to take them to the vet for an examination and their first set of puppy shots. If you don't take them to the vet for vaccination, you could put them at risk of contracting dangerous illnesses. Ultimately, a responsible breeder will stay in touch with their vet throughout the breeding process.
