INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Having a cup of coffee or can of soda every day may help minimize your risk of developing Parkinson's. Make sure to stay within recommended daily allowances for caffeine so that you don't develop other health problems. Choose any beverage with caffeine, as there is no evidence that one type of caffeine is better than others. For example, you could have coffee, tea, cola, or energy drinks. Some foods even have natural caffeine. These include: protein bars, coffee-flavored ice cream or yogurt, and chocolate. Consume less than 400 milligrams of caffeine daily. This is about four cups of brewed coffee, 10 cans of soda, or two "energy shot" drinks. If you are drinking soda in order to get caffeine, consider limiting how much you drink. Sodas are often packed with sugar and won't promote good health if you drink them too often. In addition to having coffee or tea, green tea may also prevent Parkinson's. Green tea has compounds called green tea polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, that may eliminate free radicals in your system. Be sure to read labels when drinking green tea. Some products have caffeine while others don't. Remember that green tea counts towards your daily hydration totals. Eating more peppersred, green, yellow, and orangemay lower your risk for developing Parkinson's. Incorporate peppers into daily meals and have them as snacks, both of which may help you stave off Parkinson's when combined with other dietary and lifestyle choices. Be aware that doctors are still unsure if raw or cooked peppers are better for decreasing your risk. Try having some peppers at each meal and make sure you vary the colors to get the most nutrients. For example, you could have an omelet with peppers at breakfast, a salad with diced peppers for lunch, and stuffed peppers for dinner. Have some pepper strips dipped in hummus or light ranch dressing for a snack. In addition to eating peppers, having fresh and raw vegetables at every meal may decrease your Parkinson's risk. This is because low levels of the B vitamin folate, which is also called folic acid, may increase your risk for the disease. You can easily get folic acid by incorporating lots of vegetables in your diet. Some of the best sources of folate are: Spinach Endive Romaine lettuce Asparagus Mustard greens Collard greens Okra Cabbage Oxidative stress, which is a result of free radicals in the body, may contribute to Parkinson's. Getting rid of free radicals by eating foods with lots of antioxidants may also help prevent Parkinson's. Some great sources of antioxidants include: Artichokes Kale Potatoes Berries Pears Apples Grapes Eggs Kidney beans Lentils Pecans Walnuts Dark chocolate Red wine Fava beans Antioxidants can scavenge free radicals and may reduce your risk of developing Parkinson's. Eating a healthy and nutritious diet can help you get antioxidants, but consider taking antioxidant supplements to help boost free radical elimination. Take supplements for Vitamins C and E. Consider getting mixed supplement that has multiple forms of Vitamin E to avoid possible side effects of this compound. Another antioxidant that may help is Omega-3 fatty acid. Try Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which is also present in foods such as organ meats, sardines, and mackerel. Make sure to stay within recommended daily limits of any antioxidant to avoid toxicity. Reading product labels can alert you not only recommended daily values and how much is in the specific supplement. Ask a pharmacist any questions you might have. Eating iron is important to staying healthy, but it's important to consume it within recommended levels. Too much iron may put your body into oxidative stress, which is when your body releases toxic free radicals into your system. In turn, this can contribute to the degeneration of brain cells that are often found in Parkinson's patients. Get no more than 8 mg iron daily if you are a man. Women over the age of 51 should also not have more than 8 mg iron every day. Women between the ages of 18 and 50 should have 18 mg iron as a part of their daily diet. For example, one cup of fortified breakfast cereals has 18 mg, 3 ounces of pan fried beef liver has 5mg, and cup of boiled and drained spinach has 3mg. Like iron, too much manganese can lead to oxidative stress, which can contribute to Parkinson's. Make sure to stay within adequate intake margins of manganese to help prevent Parkinson's. Recognize that there is no dietary allowance for manganese. Instead, there is adequate intake (AI) use. Eat less than 1.6 mg if you are a man and 2.3 mg if you are a woman. Sources of manganese include nuts, legumes, seeds, teas, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.

SUMMARY: Drink caffeine. Sip green tea. Enjoy more peppers. Be sure to eat lots of fresh, raw vegetables. Boost antioxidant consumption. Take antioxidant supplements. Limit your iron intake. Reduce manganese consumption.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fortunately, gender stereotypes are becoming a thing of the past, so your guy is free to choose how he wants to express his manhood. Let him decide what behaviors and physical attributes he thinks are "manly," and appreciate him for who he is. For instance, some guys might feel like a beard makes them look more manly, but others may prefer a clean-shaven look. Similarly, it's okay if your guy wants to take good care of his skin or prefers ballroom dancing over sports. While you might feel like you're always right, chances are your guy feels the same way about himself. Don't worry about winning arguments or getting your way. Instead, communicate with your guy so you both have a chance to speak your mind. Then, find a compromise that works for both of you. To show him you're listening, paraphrase what he said back to him. You might say, "It sounds like you're worried about the budget," or "I hear you saying that you need more time to relax." Both you and your guy should use kind language when talking to each other. Don't call each other names, hurl insults, or yell at each other, even if you're having a disagreement. Instead, stay calm and keep your language civil. If you're having trouble being calm, take a break to give yourself time to let off steam. Say, "I need to step out for a few minutes. Let's continue this discussion when we've both calmed down." You and your guy likely have different interests. You might be tempted to pressure him into doing things that you like, which is totally normal. However, stick to activities that both of you like as often as possible. This will make him feel respected and helps you both have fun together. For instance, let's say you enjoy romcoms (romantic comedies) and he hates them. When picking a movie, choose a genre you both enjoy, like a summer blockbuster. It's common for people to enjoy the chase when they're dating. If you're too available, it can make your guy feel like he's lost the thrill of the hunt. Keep yourself busy by enjoying your time with others. This will give your guy more pleasure when he finally gets time alone with you. For instance, you might make plans with your best friend on Friday so that your Saturday date night is more exciting. Both you and your guy need space to enjoy your own hobbies and be your own person. Encourage your guy to pursue his interests, and use that time to follow your own goals. This will help your guy feel like a manly man, while you'll also feel fulfilled and happy. For example, you and your guy might agree to spend 1 weeknight each week and 1 Saturday a month pursuing your personal goals. If you have kids, decide how you'll cover childcare. For instance, you might alternate which nights you have time to yourself.

SUMMARY:
Respect how he defines his manhood. Listen to his perspective when you have a disagreement. Speak to him with respect and expect the same from him. Choose activities that you both enjoy when planning dates. Spend time with friends and family so he feels like he's chasing you. Nurture your mutual independence so he doesn't feel restricted.
