INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you find yourself in a situation where your accelerator pedal is stuck, your first reaction may be to panic. Panic can be dangerous to you and the other drivers on the road, so it's important that you take a dep breath and stay calm. Take deep, controlled breaths to help slow your heart rate. If possible, breath in through your nose and out through your mouth until you feel in control. When driving, you usually should maintain a general level of awareness of everything going on around you, but it becomes extremely important if you find yourself with a stuck open throttle. You will need to find a way to get your vehicle off the road without putting yourself or others at any additional risk. This means quickly looking all around you to ensure you are aware of everything going on in your environment. Use your mirrors to identify other cars around so you can find the shortest route to the breakdown lane without risking an accident. Look for pedestrians on the side of the road or in upcoming crosswalks. Consider the type of road you are on. Are there breakdown lanes? Are there guard rails that may prevent you from pulling over right away? The issue with your accelerator may be with the pedal assembly. If this is the case, sliding your toe beneath the pedal and lifting it upward may bring your vehicle back to an idle and allow you to safely pull over. Keep your eyes on the road and both hands on the wheel as you attempt to lift the pedal with your right foot. Do not attempt to use your left foot, as you may need to transition to braking quickly. You will be able to do so with your right foot faster if your left hasn't gotten in the way. If the pedal comes up freely without affecting the RPMs of the vehicle, the gas pedal assembly is not the issue. If you are going slowly enough, you may be able to overcome the acceleration caused by your open throttle by firmly pressing down on the brake with your right foot. Be careful, your vehicle may respond differently than it normally does under braking as a result of the engine attempting to power the wheels forward. At high speeds, simply pressing the brake likely won't bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Be aware that some vehicles may pull to the left of right under hard braking. Keep both hands on the wheel as you attempt to stop a slow moving vehicle by applying the brake. The emergency or parking brake was not actually designed to stop a vehicle in motion, but rather to keep a vehicle from moving once it is stopped. As a result, the brake may fail if you attempt to engage it while moving, and the vehicle is likely to move erratically if you engage it. The emergency brake should only be used to stop a vehicle in an emergency that includes total brake failure. Using the emergency brake can cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

SUMMARY: Remain calm. Be aware of your surroundings. Attempt to lift the accelerator pedal with your toe. Press firmly on the brake with your right foot. Do not use the emergency or parking brake.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you get stressed out due to working too much, having family troubles or experiencing some kind of trauma, the body reacts by releasing a hormone called cortisol. In addition to causing a host of health issues, cortisol causes you to gain fat around the middle of your body, leading to love handles. You can probably think of dozens of things that are stressing you out right now. To get rid of the handles, you've got to get rid of the stress! Figure out what's putting strain on your system and take measures to improve your situation. See if you can reduce the activity in your schedule so you're a little less busy. Having back to back activities from morning until night causes a lot of stress. If you're experiencing a stress caused by a situation that's out of your control, work on handling the stress in healthy ways through meditation, yoga, running, journaling, or another activity that calms your mind. Staying up too late is hard on your body and mind, and results in cortisol overproduction and weight gain around the middle. Getting better sleep is often an overlooked key to weight loss, but it can make a big difference. Start sleeping 7 - 8 hours per night, every night. Going to bed at the same time each night and waking up at the same time in the morning puts your body on a consistent schedule and helps eliminate stress. Stop using bright screens thirty minutes before you go to sleep. If you have trouble sleeping, make sure your sleeping environment is sufficiently dark and quiet. Leave your electronic devices in another room when you go to bed so you won't be tempted to check email during the night. Dehydration is another stressor on the body. Many of us are dehydrated without realizing it. Start drinking several liters of water a day, and more on hot days or when you exercise, to make sure your body is sufficiently hydrated. Drink a big glass of water first thing in the morning, before you have your morning caffeine. Buy a liter-sized water bottle and plan to drink two bottles' worth every day. This helps prevent a blood sugar spike, too many of which can lead to weight gain around the middle. If you want to get ride of your love handles, eat regular, small meals, stopping around 8:00 at night. Giving your body a break from eating from evening til morning, then eating a good breakfast followed by a healthy lunch and dinner, is the best way to lose those love handles. Alcohol leads to blood sugar swings, which are hard on the system and lead to the storage of belly fat. Stay away from sugary alcohol drinks altogether. When you do drink, choose a low sugar drink, such as wine, and limit yourself to a drink or two no more than twice a week. One serving of alcohol is equal to five ounces of wine, twelve ounces of beer, or 1.5 ounces of liquor. Two or fewer servings a day are recommended for men while one or fewer a day is recommended for women.

SUMMARY: Relieve your stress. Get better sleep. Drink more water. Eat regular meals. Don't drink too much alcohol.
