INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Stick to short-sleeved items like t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, and moisture-wicking activewear until you've built up an immunity to the heat. Pieces with loosely-woven materials and more relaxed fits are also preferable, as they'll allow your skin to breathe. Whatever you wear, it's important that it be properly ventilated to release heat rather than trapping it close to your body. Choose light-colored garments over darker ones. Lighter colors reflect the sun's rays, which cuts down on how much heat they hold, whereas dark colors absorb it. Load up on foods that contain beneficial electrolytes and key vitamins and minerals before and after venturing outdoors. Fruits and vegetables like bananas, spinach, avocados and beans are all good choices. Just as it's so important to stay hydrated, proper nutrition is also a critical part of taking care of your body. Don't shy away from salty foods. These cause you to retain water, which is useful for combating dehydration. Protein-rich offerings like lean meats, fish, eggs and nuts will satisfy your hunger for longer without filling you up too much. Some of the most common warning signs of heat-related illness include dizziness, nausea, overwhelming fatigue and an accelerated heart rate. If you become aware of any of these warning signs, stop what you're doing immediately and find someplace to escape the heat. A cool shower (not ice colda drastic change of temperature can be a shock to the body) will help return your body to a normal temperature. Heat exhaustion can be fatal when ignored. Practice good judgment and avoid taking unnecessary chances with your wellbeing.

SUMMARY: Wear lightweight clothing. Replace lost nutrients with food. Recognize the symptoms of heat exhaustion.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Pomade is a hair product made of water-soluble solution. It helps hair achieve a clean shine and is a popular choice for holding undercut hair for men in place. Pomade is a suitable product for slicking undercut hair back or to the side. Styling wax is a hair product that gives your hair a smooth, soft texture but also creates definition. Styling wax might feel tacky in the hair and is thicker than gel, pomade, and other hair products. One potential styling combination is to slick your undercut hair back with styling wax, then blasting it with a hair dryer for twenty to thirty seconds to achieve more volume. Hairstyling cream (sometimes called "styling cream") is the best choice for styling undercut hair for men that is curly or frizzy. In undercut hair for men, styling cream provides a natural shine and creates the impression that the undercut hair is thicker. It also has moisturizing properties to keep your hair healthy. Hairstyling cream allows the undercut hair more movement than styling wax or pomade, and is a good choice when you want you wish to give the hair more freedom. Hair gel offers the hair only limited movement. Hair gel is good for styling undercut hair with definition, shine, and texture. If, for instance, you want to style undercut hair into a spiked or other vertically-oriented shape, hair gel is your best bet. Hair gel tends to be thinner in consistency than pomade and often has a range of holding strengths, from "lightweight" to ''heavyweight." Gels are easier to wash out of the hair than pomades and waxes. If the recipient of the undercut has wavy hair, use a wide-toothed comb to manipulate it. If they have straight hair, use a conventional comb. You can comb the hair to the side or slick it straight back. Men may want to wear the undercut with or without facial hair. An undercut looks great with a long beard, a short beard, or no beard at all. Getting your undercut with a nicely trimmed beard, though, can give you a more classic look.

SUMMARY: Choose a pomade. Choose styling wax. Use a hairstyling cream. Try a hair gel. Comb the undercut. Wear the undercut with or without facial hair.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As your cat ages, they will have an increasing level of susceptibility to UTI infection. This is due to changes in your cat's urinary tract and liver function. Young cats under 7 years of age have a low risk of urinary infections. This is because they are excellent at concentrating their urine, and strong urine is a natural disinfectant that inhibits bacterial growth. If you see signs of blood in a young cat's urine, it is likely that he has a problem not caused by infection, but by crystals, stones, or inflammation from an unknown source that has irritated the bladder lining. There is a distinct risk that crystals will clump together and form a blockage in the urethra the tube the cat urinates out of. If this happens, it is an emergency that needs immediate veterinary attention. Older cats over 7 years of age are at an increased risk of infection. Older cats have a reduced ability to concentrate urine, and as the cat ages he is quite likely to produce dilute urine because of a reduction in kidney function. This weak urine is not a very potent disinfectant and urinary infections become more likely. Again, it is important to treat these infections before they ascend into the kidney and cause significant damage leading to scar tissue formation. Although dilute urine is risk factor for UTI, once your cat has a UTI, regular, steady urination will help him flush his bladder out. Bacteria produce waste products and chemicals that can irritate the bladder lining, causing inflammation. Regular hydration can dilute these factors and limit the amount of time they spend in contact with the bladder wall, helping reduce inflammation and soreness. To increase your cat's water intake, switch him form a dry to a wet food. This automatically increases the amount of fluid he takes in. Also, provide plenty of wide drinking bowls. Cats seem to prefer drinking from wide containers where their whiskers don't touch the side. Some cats will drink more if provided with flowing water such as that from a cat drinking fountain. Other cats dislike the chlorine and chemicals in tap water and are much happier when offered bottled water to drink. Some veterinarians recommend cranberry capsules to reduce the risk of a UTI. The cranberry extract contain proanthocyanidins, which may make it more difficult for bacteria to adhere to the bladder wall. Consult your vet before starting any supplement in your cat. Your vet will approve the supplement and instruct you on an appropriate dose. Do not be tempted to increase the amounts of these supplements, because there is a risk of reducing the urinary pH too much and the extreme acidity could irritate the bladder lining.

SUMMARY:
Understand age's effect on UTI risk. Encourage your cat to drink to flush his bladder. Feed your cat cranberry capsules or ascorbic acid to acidify urine.
