INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Minor hyperhidrosis can often be treated using over the counter antiperspirant deodorants. Deodorants that say "antiperspirant" on the label are engineered to prevent your body from producing sweat and can be effective if your sweating issues are manageable. Antiperspirant deodorants contain aluminum based compounds that temporarily block sweat producing pores, reducing the amount of sweat that leaves your skin. Most antiperspirants also help manage the smell created by bacteria in your sweat, reducing issues with body odor. Feet are a common focal point for people with primary hyperhidrosis, and the excess sweating on your feet can cause both odor and medical complications for your feet. Try using shoes and socks made from natural materials, as they will not seal the moisture into your foot and will allow your feet to breath. Rotate your shoes so they have a chance to dry between times you wear them to prevent fungal infections like athlete's foot. Change your socks periodically throughout the day if you find that you have sweat through them. Try wearing socks made out of merino wool or polypro that such moisture away from the feet. Excessive sweating can lead to social anxiety caused by visible sweat stains and concerns over body odor. If your hyperhidrosis is affected by your stress or anxiety levels, this can make the problem worse. Exercising good hygiene habits can help reduce your stress, thereby possibly reducing your symptoms. Bathe daily to prevent body odor from becoming an issue. Make sure to dry yourself completely after you bathe. Use and antibacterial soap to control control the bugs that inhabit your sweaty skin and cause odor. Make sure that you dry off completely before you put on antiperspirant. Wear light fitting clothing fitting clothing including cotton and silk. If you are exercising make sure that you bring extra clothes. Avoid wearing heavy clothes that trap sweat.

SUMMARY: Use an antiperspirant. Change your shoes and socks often. Maintain good hygiene habits.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Snails can eat their way out of cardboard and they tend to be escape artists, so you will need something sturdy. Wooden boxes work well. Be sure that they are made of decay and termite resistant material. Discarded oil drums are a cheap and workable option as well. Glass or plastic containers work too. If you're working with just a few snails, a plastic tupperware container would work. For a few more, consider an aquarium. Snails houses need ventilation so that your little friends can breathe. If you are hatching baby snails, consider a wire mesh top so that they can't escape. If you are fattening up fully grown snails, you can bore holes in the lid of your container as long as they are smaller than your snails. It's a good idea to bring the structure up to waist-height so that it's easy to work in. If you're planning to keep the snail house outside, legs will help keep predators out as well. You can use concrete blocks stacked on top of each other for easy legs. You should also place the snailery away from very direct, hot sunlight so that they can easily stay moist. Don't put them under a vent, because this can cause them to dry out. Put at least 2 inches of potting compost in the bottom of the container. Give the little critters a shelter, such as tupperware container tipped on its side or a half-buried terracotta pot. Don't use soil directly from your garden, because it could contain other organisms as well. Assuming you haven't planted anything in your container, an intensive system will require you to regularly provide food for your snails. You can give them weeds, vegetable peelings, and pieces of fruit. Avoid plants with hairy leaves and anything that produces poisons. If any food goes uneaten and starts to rot, remove it from the container. Good fruits for snails include mangos, bananas, pears, eggplant, figs, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Snails need protein, which they can get from sweet potatoes and plantains. Household leftovers such as rice and beans are fine, but be sure that they do not contain salt. The lids of jars or plastic containers work well. Tap water often contains chlorine, which isn't good for snails. Give them rain water or water from a bottle.

SUMMARY: Choose your structure. Put holes in the lid of your container. Place your structure on legs. Furnish your snail house. Supply your snails with food. Provide a shallow container of water.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It is normal to feel extremely tired following a surgery, especially if you had a major operation or a general anesthetic. Spend time in bed and do only as much as you feel up to doing during these first few days. Pushing yourself too early may be detrimental to your recovery. Avoid any heavy lifting or rigorous exercise during this time. Ask your doctor how long you should rest right after your surgery. This will vary depending on the type of procedure. As a general rule, it is important to get your body moving as much as possible once you start recovering from surgery. Movement will encourage blood flow and strengthen your muscles, making it easier for your body to heal. Ask your doctor how much you are allowed to exercise while you recover and what activities you should avoid. Moderate walking is usually the best exercise to begin with while you are healing. If you spend time recovering in a hospital, asking a nurse or orderly for help walking if necessary. If you are not yet steady on your feet, you may benefit from using a walker or cane to help you keep your balance. High-impact sports, heavy lifting, and rigorous exercise can all cause strain to your body that may delay your healing after surgery. Listen to your doctor's instructions about recovery time and restricted activities. Depending on the surgery you have, you may have to avoid strenuous activity for several weeks or months until your body is fully healed. With major surgeries, your doctor will generally provide you with a specific diet to follow after your operation. Follow any directions or meal plans your doctor gives you very closely while you heal. Eating foods or ingredients that irritate your stomach or cause swelling may hinder your recovery. Processed foods are likely to cause inflammation and stomach irritation. Foods like fatty fish, walnuts, almonds, flax seeds, leafy green vegetables, and turmeric can help reduce inflammation in your body. Many post-surgery diets are high in fiber to prevent constipation, which can cause you to strain and in turn hurt the site of your surgical wound. Lean protein like chicken or fish will help repair body tissue and boost your energy after surgery.

SUMMARY:
Rest for the first few days after your operation. Move around as soon as you can, with your doctor's permission. Avoid strenuous activity while you heal. Follow your doctor's diet recommendations to avoid complications.
