Q: Probiotics are bacteria that help maintain the natural balance of microorganisms in the intestines. There are some indications that consuming additional probiotics in supplement form can aid in digestion by bolstering the amount of beneficial bacteria found in the intestines. Probiotics are also in many different types of foods, so if you'd rather not take a supplement, you can get the benefits of probiotics by incorporating probiotic foods into your diet. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate probiotic supplements as a drug, there are certain things that you should look for when choosing a probiotic supplement. Make sure that you can find the following information on the label: genus, species, and strain of the probiotic (such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) number of organisms that will be alive by the use-by date dose company name and contact information The types of different probiotic strains within the supplement are very important. Some people react to certain bacteria strains better than others. For this reason, a probiotic with several different strains should be chosen. Over-the-counter digestive enzymes may aid in digestion by supplementing the body's naturally occurring enzymes. Enzymes break down food into its component parts, allowing the body to absorb it more easily. If these enzymes are effective, they could aid in the efficiency and speed of the digestive process. Digestive enzymes are created by four glands in the human body, primarily the pancreas. Although some alternative healthcare specialists and producers of nutritional supplements argue for the benefits of enzyme supplements, many doctors say more human studies are necessary to determine their potential effects. Some commonly sold supplements are: Lipase. Lipase aids in the digestion and absorption of fat. Papain. Papain is said to be useful in the digestion of proteins. Lactase. Lactase aids in the digestion of lactose, the protein found in dairy products. Individuals who have low natural levels of lactase are considered lactose-intolerant. Bitters are tinctures (often alcoholic) derived from a variety of herbs, bark, and roots, that are thought to aid in digestion. Alcohol can act as a solvent for the botanical extract and helps to preserve it. Taking bitters before, with, or after a meal can aid in speeding digestion. Bitters are not proven to have a positive effect on digestion, and there has been very limited research done on their efficacy.
A: Consider taking probiotic supplements. Take digestive enzyme supplements. Take bitters.

Q: A Startup repair will reinstall essential system files that Windows uses to boot. This could fix the black screen problem you're experiencing. If you time this correctly, you'll enter the Advanced Boot Options menu. If Windows tries to load, you'll have to reboot and try again. If you can't open this menu, you can boot from a Windows 7 installation DVD or USB installation drive and select "Repair computer" from the Setup menu. Your regular keyboard should be selected by default. Logging in as an administrator will give you access to the Command Prompt as well as the other repair options. Depending on what errors Startup Repair encounters, you may be given different options. In many cases, Startup Repair will fix problems without your intervention, and your computer will reboot one or more times. If Startup Repair prompts you to perform a System Restore, click the Restore button and select the most recent restore point. After Startup Repair has finished any of its repairs, try rebooting and loading Windows. If you still are unable to boot into Windows, you may want to consider performing a clean installation. This will delete all of the data on the drive, so use Safe Mode to back up any important files first if possible.
A: Reboot your computer. Rapidly tap F8. Highlight Repair Your Computer and press Enter. Select your keyboard type. Select the user you want to log in as. Click the Startup Repair option. Wait while Startup Repair scans your computer. Follow any prompts for repairing problems. Try logging into Windows.

Q: Turn on or light the grill and leave it to preheat to medium, which is about 350F (177C). You can cook the sweet potatoes on any type of grill you like, including: Gas Wood Charcoal Electric Rinse the sweet potatoes under running water. As you rinse them, use a vegetable brush or clean cloth to scrub the skin and remove dirt. Pat the sweet potatoes dry with a clean towel and place them on a cutting board. Sweet potato skins are thin and packed with nutrients, so there's no need to peel them before grilling. Hold a sweet potato steady with one hand and use a sharp knife to carefully cut it in half lengthwise. Place the halves cut-side down on the cutting board. Cut each half lengthwise into quarters, and each quarter into eighths. Each sweet potato will give you 8 wedges. You can also slice the sweet potato widthwise into quarter-inch (6-mm) medallions instead of wedges if you like. In a small bowl, combine the oil, salt, lime zest, and cayenne pepper. Whisk the ingredients together to combine them into a dressing to season the sweet potato wedges. Add black pepper, to taste, and whisk to incorporate the new addition. The lime zest will help to balance the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. You can substitute lemon zest for the lime zest, or add a tablespoon (15 ml) of lemon or lime juice to the dressing for even more of a citrus taste. Drizzle the dressing over the sweet potatoes. Use a spoon to mix the sweet potatoes around in the bowl and coat them evenly with the dressing. You can season the sweet potatoes with a teaspoon (2 g) of any other herbs or spices you like, including: Cinnamon Ginger Paprika Chili powder Rosemary Thyme Chipotle powder Use a pair of metal or heat-proof tongs to transfer the wedges to the grill. Arrange them diagonally on the rack in a single layer so you get the classic grill marks. Place a heat-proof metal lid or bowl over the wedges to keep in the heat and help them cook faster. Flip the wedges twice as they cook. Continue cooking until the sweet potatoes are tender, can be pierced easily with a fork, and are golden browned. Remove the wedges from the grill with a metal spatula or tongs. Arrange the wedges on a serving platter and finish them with the cilantro and extra salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the wedges with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, salsa, or chipotle mayonnaise. You can use fresh parsley in place of the cilantro.
A:
Preheat the grill. Wash the sweet potatoes. Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges. Make the dressing. Toss the wedges with the dressing. Arrange the wedges on the hot grill. Cover and grill the wedges for 40 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
