Problem: Article: The bulk of orthodontic brace pain will happen in the first 24 to 72 hours after braces are put on your teeth. During the first few days, eat very soft foods that don't require much chewing until you are more accustomed to eating with braces. Foods like soups, applesauce and mashed potatoes are good choices. Ice cream will give your mouth relief by offering numbing comfort. You can also suck on ice cubes. Put an ice cube in your mouth next to the area that is experiencing the most discomfort. The frozen cube will help numb your mouth and reduce any inflammation that may be occurring.A lot of braces are heat-reactive, which means eating hot foods causes the braces to tighten, causing you pain. Alternately, you can freeze a baby teething ring and chew or rest it in your mouth. This will also provide some relief. Do not chew the ice or ice cubes; hard foods can damage brackets and weaken their hold on your teeth. You could also try drinking icy cold water. Acidic foods and drinks that contain citrus, for example, can aggravate mouth sores or other discomfort in your mouth. Avoid these to eliminate the possibility of further irritating your mouth. Do not eat certain kinds of foods so that your braces do not break, causing some irritation and additional cost. Hard and sticky foods, such as chips, jerky, nuts and taffy, can be damaging to your braces. Do not chew on other hard objects, such as pens, pencils or ice cubes.
Summary: Eat soft foods for the first few days. Eat cold or frozen foods like ice cream. Avoid acidic drinks and foods. Avoid hard or sticky foods.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best way to learn this complicated choreography is by tackling just a little bit at a time. It's easiest to separate the dance based on the movements of the song, so you have musical cues dividing each segment. These sections will most likely be: The intro The verses The pre-chorus The chorus If you're watching a video on YouTube, click the Settings button in the right hand corner of the video, click Speed, and choose 0.5. Start the video at the beginning and pause it each time you see the dancer do a new move. Pause the video and replay the move, copying the dancer slowly. If you're watching a tutorial on a site other than YouTube, search online to see how to play the video at a slower speed. Pause and replay each move until you've got it down. If it helps, you can first focus on the arm movements in a certain move, then add in the legs. Once you've got it down, replay the video from the beginning and go through all the moves together, then move on. Replaying from the beginning might be frustrating when you want to learn new moves right away, but it will help you with timing and making your transitions nice and smooth. You might want to go through the moves as fast as possible, but that will only frustrate you. Be patient and remember that the only way to get to the level of a K-pop star is through lots of practice! When you reach the last move in the intro, go through it all one more time at half speed. Then, speed it up to 0.75 speed (three-quarters as fast as the original). Don't worry about hitting each move perfectly right now; just focus on getting them down roughly, getting familiar with the feel and flow of each movement. Now that you've got the intro down, move the video on to the first verse. Use the same process to learn each new move, pausing and replaying at half speed until you know all of the movements. Once you've learned the first verse, scroll the video back to the beginning and play it at three-quarters speed. Do all the moves that you know, again focusing more on flow and general placement than total precision. Don't overwhelm yourself! K-pop dances are pretty complicated, so take it nice and slow and work on learning just a couple parts per day. Move through the song in order, and do your best not to take any days off, since it can be easy to forget the steps once you've gotten out of practice. Before you start a new section the next day, go over all the parts you've learned so far to keep them fresh.

SUMMARY: Divide the dance up into small, manageable sections. Practice each move in the intro with the video on half speed. Walk your way through the intro, focusing on your arms, then your legs. Speed up the intro once you get it down at half speed. Repeat the process with the next part of the video. Practice from the beginning each time you learn a new part. Aim to learn one to two parts of the dance per day.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Dark leaves on a snake plant indicate that it is healthy and well-nourished. Leaves that have a yellowish tinge on the outer edge of the leaves or leaves that are pale and floppy could indicate that the plant is dying. Don't re-pot your plant until it's healthy so it can adjust to its new home and survive the transfer. A pale sansevieria doesn't necessarily mean that the plant will die. It may just need some water and care and you can bring it back to life! Sansevieria are very susceptible to rotting out, especially if they sit in water for too long. Choose a pot that has good drainage, like a terra cotta pot or a pot made with another porous material so your snake plant isn't at risk of rotting. Porous materials include terra cotta, clay, timber, paper pulp, and other natural materials that allow moisture to move through them. Snake plants don't require too much water, and their roots can actually be damaged if they're allowed to soak in soil that is full of moisture. To allow for good drainage and a healthy root system, choose a free-draining soil mix or even a soilless potting mixture. Place your sansevieria into the potting mixture and cover it with enough to hold it secure in the pot. Many potting mixes that you can purchase from gardening stores are designed to help control moisture and improve drainage. Check the packaging for information on the potting mix. Use a soilless potting medium like vermiculite, peat moss, or perlite. When you're ready to re-pot your snake plant, take a firm hold of the base of the leaves, where they connect to the soil. Gently slide the plant out of its pot. Don't shake any dirt loose from the roots. Be careful not to yank or jerk the plant or you could separate the leaves from the roots and kill the plant. Move the plant to its new pot and add enough soil or soilless mixture to support the plant and keep it upright. Add more soil mixture if the sansevieria leans to one side or is unstable in the pot. Hold the snake plant in an upright position while you add soil to the pot. Pack the soil down by patting it with your hand to add support to the plant.
Summary:
Look for dark green leaves to make sure your sansevieria is healthy. Get a pot made out of a porous material. Choose a potting mix that allows for good drainage. Grasp the sansevieria at the base of the leaves and pull it from the pot it came in. Place the snake plant into its new pot and add soil to cover the roots.
