Problem: Article: Cervical mucus that is thin may be more favorable to the male Y-chromosome. Guaifenesin, which is generally found in cough syrups, can also help thin cervical mucus. Taking guaifenesin during ovulation may increase your chances of having a baby boy. Talk to your doctor before taking guaifenesin to ensure it is safe for you to use. Check the labeling to ensure that the product only has guaifenesin and not additional ingredients for the symptoms of a cold. Reducing the acidity in a woman's cervical fluid can also increase the chances of conceiving a baby boy. Eat alkaline foods such as spinach or beets in the weeks prior to ovulation to optimize your chances of having a boy. Examples of high-alkaline foods include: Buttermilk Coconut, olive, flax, and sesame oils Avocado Banana Sour cherries Figs Lima and soybeans Almonds and almond butter Beets Yams Asparagus Leafy greens Broccoli There is some evidence that women who consume more potassium and sodium may be more likely to conceive boys. Increase your potassium and sodium intakes within reason in the weeks before ovulation. Foods that provide potassium and sodium include: Bananas Breakfast cereal Canned beans Leafy greens Oranges and grapefruits Sweet potatoes and winter squash Plain yogurt Cheese Caffeine may make Y-chromosome sperm more active. Have your significant other drink a cup of coffee or soda before you have sex. This may increase your chances of conceiving a boy. Weight loss may increase your risk of having a girl. Instead of doing intense cardio, reach for some weights. This can increase your muscle mass and add healthy weight, both of which may help you conceive a baby boy. Ask your doctor if you are healthy enough to lift weights. Then, meet with a certified fitness trainer to develop the best strength-training program to build muscle. Tight underwear or pants may affect your partner's sperm production because they keep the scrotum too warm. Having your partner wear boxer shorts and looser pants may increase your chances of conceiving a boy.
Summary: Thin cervical mucus with guaifenesin. Follow a high-alkaline or "boy" diet. Consume more potassium and sodium. Drink some coffee. Lift weights. Wear loose-fitting garments.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Do not let your chickens roam the backyard at night. Many nocturnal predators, like raccoons, may prey on the chickens at night. Before bed, always secure your chickens in their coop to keep them safe. Be very careful about storing food. The scent of chicken feed can attract predators to your coop.

SUMMARY: Keep your chickens in a secured location at night. Take precautions with food. Be vigilant about cleaning the coop.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Training does not just refer to practicing and sparring - it extends, for example, to obtaining an adequate amount of sleep. Olympians sleep an average of 8 hours every night, so aim to sleep this same amount. In addition, consider taking a 30-minute nap in the early afternoon to refuel your energy levels. Observe your current dietary habits and consider whether there are changes you could make to reach your goals.

Consult a nutritionist to create a balanced diet plan that is tailored to your specific needs and health concerns. While sparring and practicing taekwondo techniques are important parts of training to become an Olympic fighter, you will also want to spend time in the weight room and working on core strength and flexibility. These are areas you must be well-rounded in in order to compete at an elite level. Consider signing up for a yoga class - you will get both physical and mental benefits that could complement your training. Aside from physical practice, Olympic athletes prepare psychologically for matches. Pick a mantra that motivates you before you step on the mat, read inspirational quotes or books, and, most importantly, develop a routine that you do not stray from. Successful Olympic athletes create and stick to a physical and mental preparation routine that will be reassuring when in a new setting for a match. Visualize your routine. Imagine all of the sensory input you will be getting, like the cheers of the crowd, the approach of your opponent, or the impact of your attack. This will motivate you as well as allow you to anticipate some of the surprise elements of the big day, which otherwise could work to your disadvantage. Family, friends, and teammates can boost your energy when training is not going as expected and can also be your #1 source of support when you win a tournament. Keep them informed of your progress by checking in with them regularly. Taekwondo is a full-physical sport that requires a tremendous amount of effort, dedication, and self-discipline. Remind yourself every time you step on the mat that your goal is to become an Olympic fighter and that this is a sport you are passionate about. You could even develop a motivating mantra that you repeat to yourself prior to any sparring matches.
