INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Combine 1 ounces of baking soda with 4c (950mL) of water. This will be your cleaning solution. Make sure the baking soda dissolves into the water before you begin. Locate the water cup on your steamer and empty out any remaining water. Pour your cleaning solution into the water cup and return it to the steamer machine. The water cup is usually located on the steamer base. You may want to perform this cleaning activity outside (or in the garage) to avoid making a mess on the floor of your home. Once the cleaning solution is in the water cup of the steamer, you'll need to let it stay in there for 3-4 hours while it does its job. Sit the steamer on a solid surface during this time so it won't tip over or spill the cleaner. Be sure not to run the steamer (or even turn the machine on) while the cleaner is inside the machine, as this could potentially damage items it comes into contact with. Remove the water cup from the steamer and dump out any remaining cleaning solution. Rinse out the water cup to make sure it's fully clean and doesn't have any residue left inside. Be sure to dump the cleaning solution out in the sink or shower. Don't dump it outside as this could ruin your grass. Once you have completed the cleansing process, pour water back into the water cup and turn the machine on. Let the machine run so that some of the water comes out and filters out the rest of the machine. Repeat this process several times, or until the water being rinsed out doesn't look dirty anymore. If your rinsing water continues to look dirty as you pour it out, you may need to repeat the process with the cleaning solution another time.

SUMMARY: Make a cleaning mixture. Pour the cleaning solution into the machine. Let the solution sit for several hours. Dump out the cleaning solution. Flush with clean water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most stir-fries already call for ginger in their recipes, so replacing it with ginger paste is an easy alternative. Mix 2 tablespoons (30ml) of the paste into a wok filled with vegetables. For more ginger flavor, marinate the meat in the paste as well. The zest of ginger will help remove the fishy aftertaste. Spread the paste on top of steamed fish or use it as a dipping sauce. Alternatively, you can serve the paste alone as a palate cleanser after the meal is finished. Add the paste into gingerbread mix in place of fresh ginger to spice up your cookies. Additionally, adding ginger paste to apple crisp or pie will make a spicy sweet dish you're sure to enjoy. Mix in 3 tablespoons (44ml) of the paste to the filling. Heat up 1 cup (240mL) of water to a boil. Put in 1 tablespoon (15mL) of ginger paste and stir. Strain the liquid into a mug with honey and lemon juice. Make cold tea by adding 1 tablespoon (15ml) to a 1 qt (.95 L) pitcher of water and refrigerate overnight. Instead of using ginger beer, use soda water. Drop in a cube of ginger paste and fresh lime for a strong and fragrant flavor. For a more intense ginger flavor, use ginger ale instead of soda water.
Summary: Add ginger paste to your stir-fry vegetables. Spread the paste on steamed fish. Spice up desserts with ginger paste. Steep the paste in water to make ginger tea. Mix frozen ginger paste into a Moscow Mule.

When feeling nauseous, sit still in a chair or sofa to prevent yourself from moving in any direction. Motions are detected by various parts of your body, including the inner ear, eyes, muscles, and joints. When these differing parts are not transmitting the same motions to the brain, or when they are not synced, you can start feeling nauseous. Some people find that hanging their head between their knees helps as well. Right after you eat, the food you just ate has not been digested yet. If you lie down before digestion happens, food from the stomach can enter your esophagus and give you a nauseous feeling. It can eventually lead to acid reflux and vomiting. After eating a meal, it is good habit to walk for 30 minutes to help digestion. Nausea can be caused by air quality factors, such as stuffiness or air irritants. Stuffiness can be caused by a poorly ventilated room where dust builds up, leading to blockage of the respiratory system through your nose, lungs, and throat. In addition, cooking smells may irritate you, causing nausea if the area is not properly ventilated. Cold, fresh air can be beneficial relief from these situations. Get outside quickly for fresh air. If you can't, a fan or air conditioning may have a similar effect. Also try opening a window or using a kitchen air vent when cooking to let the smells out. Deep breathing exercises along with peppermint aromatherapy helps reduce nausea and vomiting. Studies have shown that inhaling peppermint oil not only reduced the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting, but also decreased anti-nausea medication use. You can purchase oils in many grocery, drug, and health stores. You can use the oils to: Sniff from the peppermint oil bottle or use a few drops on a cotton ball, place it in a cup, and inhale. Massage the oil around your abdominal area or chest so you can breathe it in. Mix the oil with water and add it to a spray bottle for home and car use. Add five to 10 drops into a bath before taking it. For those recovering from surgery-induced nausea, studies have shown that deep controlled breathing reduces the occurrence of nausea. To perform these techniques, find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Take a normal breath followed by a deep breath. Breathe in slowly through your nose, allowing your chest and lower belly to rise as you fill your lungs. Let your abdomen expand fully. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. You can also breathe out through your nose, if that feels more natural. Try using guided imagery with deep breathing. As you sit comfortably with your eyes closed, blend deep breathing with helpful imagery and perhaps a focus word or phrase that helps you relax. The image can be a vacation spot, a room at home, or some other safe or pleasant place. This can help some people block out nausea and the urge to vomit. For those patients who suffer from chemotherapy-induced nausea, studies have shown improvement from music therapy sessions. Music therapy involves specially trained health professionals, called music therapists, using music to help relieve symptoms. These professionals use different methods with each person, depending on that person's needs and abilities. This method can also lower heart rate and blood pressure, relieve stress, and give a sense of well-being.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A lack of sleep can cause excess stress, which can affect blood pressure levels during your exam. Aim to get at least 8 to 9 hours of healthy, restful sleep the night before your exam. Try to do something to relax before bed, like taking a warm bath. Avoid electronic screens in the hours leading up to bedtime, as the blue light can stimulate brain activity that makes sleeping difficult. If you're having trouble sleeping for more than 20 minutes, get up and read a book until you begin to feel sleepy. While regular physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, exercising before your exam can actually lead to inaccurate cholesterol readings. Try to avoid working out within the 24 hours leading up to your exam. Avoiding food or caffeine in the morning of the exam can help. Your blood pressure and any other exams or blood work required can be negatively affected by food and stimulants. As stated, coffee can skew blood pressure readings so do not indulge in any caffeine intake until after exams are complete. Fasting at least four hours before blood tests can yield better results. Try to schedule an exam early in the morning and have a healthy meal the night before. Then, skip breakfast and go straight to your exam. If you're not eating or drinking coffee, producing a urine sample might prove difficult. Try having a glass of water before you leave for the exam. You'll likely end up needing to urinate around the time you arrive for the exam and a urine sample is usually requested early on.

SUMMARY:
Sleep well the night before. Do not exercise before the exam. Skip breakfast and coffee. Have a glass of water.
