In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Eating fermented foods like sauerkraut and pickles can help increase orexin production. Fermented foods contain lactic acid, and the production of lactic acid can block glucose production, which decreases orexin production. So eating more fermented foods can actually help increase orexin production. When you eat sugar and carbs, your body converts them into glucose. Research suggests that increased glucose levels actually prevent the production of orexin. By eating less sugar and carbs you give your body the chance to produce more orexin, which can potentially increase your energy or promote weight loss. You can reduce your carb intake by staying away from starchy foods like potatoes and carrots, as well as bread and pasta. Stay away from foods that are high in sugar. A lot of processed foods have added sugar, so make sure you check the nutrition facts. Fruit also has a bit of naturally occurring sugar, so you should cut back on those, too. Intermittent fasting during the day can actually make your body producing more orexin. Start fasting for 16-20 hours per day. Then, at the end of each day, eat a large nutritious meal. If intermittent fasting makes you feel worse, go back to your normal eating schedule and look for other dietary changes you can make to increase your orexin levels. If your doctor determines your orexin levels are low, they may prescribe certain medications to help your body increase its production of orexin. If your orexin levels are low because of narcolepsy, your doctor might prescribe 400 mg modafinil per day. Follow your doctor's instructions exactly, because modafinil is a controlled substance and overdosing is easy. Your doctor may also prescribe Orexin-A to help increase your orexin levels. How the drug is administered will depend on your levels, but it will likely be through the nose or in the form of an injection your doctor will give you in the office. Taking omega 3 supplements might help increase orexin levels in people who don't have narcolepsy. You can also try Lactobacillus probiotics, which can increase the production of lactic acid in your body and therefore may increase your orexin levels. You can find medically uncertain or unproven ways to increase orexin levels all over the internet. Most are harmless, but may also be unhelpful. It's always best to consult your doctor first. If you're considering taking omega 3 supplements, talk to your doctor. They can tell you what dosage you should take.
Summary: Consume more fermented foods. Eat less sugar and carbs. Try intermittent fasting to increase your orexin levels. Talk to your doctor about taking medication. Consider other potential ways to increase orexin levels.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Shoes with good treads will help support your feet as you walk down stairs. Wearing high heels, slippers with soft soles or socks are more likely to allow for slips down stairs. If your ankles are weak, make sure you also include ankle support when walking down stairs. A turned ankle may result in a fall. Keep your feet turned slightly out for better stability. It's easy to step on long, flowing skirts or pants when walking up and down stairs. This will usually result in a fall. For best outcome, avoid wearing clothes of this nature when walking on stairs. If you find yourself wearing these clothes in a situation where walking down stairs can't be avoided, be careful to gather the excess material in one hand as you walk. Hold carefully to the stair rail with your other hand. Wearing clothes that are overly long prevents you from seeing your feet. Not visually knowing where your feet are on the stairs raises the risk of falling. Skirts which don't allow for free movement of the knees and legs can also be a hazard. When skirts are too tight, people can't properly walk from stair to stair. If you must wear tight skirts, walk up and down stairs by putting both feet on each stair, rather than alternating stairs. Another way to navigate stairs in a very tight skirt is to push the skirt as far up the thigh as you politely can. This allows your knees more leeway, and aids in walking up and down stairs more safely.
Summary: Wear footwear when walking down stairs. Avoid clothing that drags on the floor. Don't wear tight skirts.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Plants that thrive well in rain gardens are hardy and healthy. Your rain garden will be most low-maintenance with regional plants because they will be adapted to the climate and local rainfall fluctuations. The best place to purchase native plants is at locally-owned plant nurseries. Younger plants will not thrive as well with high quantities of waters, so avoid buying seeds or seedlings. Their root systems are not developed enough to handle the downpour. Perennial plants last for several years, so plants at least one or two years old will have established root systems. Ask your local nursery for specifically mature plants to avoid receiving seedlings. Choose plants that can handle lots of downpour. You can find native wetland plants via the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) by visiting: http://wetland-plants.usace.army.mil/nwpl_static/index.html. You can also check local gardening magazines or your city's plant nursery to ask which wetland plants thrive in your climate. Plants with dense root systems hold rain gardens together best. Shrubs generally have developed root systems that soak up excess water and prevent land erosion. Look for shrubs best adapted to your soil conditions. Most shrubs prefer well-draining soil to clays. Shrubs grow best in moist but not oversaturated conditions. Add several shrubs to rain gardens with especially excessive runoffs.
Summary:
Choose plants native to your area. Purchase perennial plants that have already matured. Look for plants that thrive well in wetlands. Add shrubs for erosion protection.
