Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know how you react to your medication. Avoid cold and flu medications that include ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. Decode the medication's packaging. Be wary of "nighttime" formulas in general.

Answer: Even though symptom guidelines are a pretty good indicator of how you will react to a medication, observe your body's actual response to what you're putting into your body. For example, Benadryl makes some people sleepy, but leaves other people feeling unnaturally wired. You might have to read the small print on the packaging to see what's really in your medication, but avoid these drugs, specifically, if you're trying to get a good night's sleep. Although these decongestants make it easier for you to breathe, they are also light stimulants that might keep you awake, if breathing clearly. Over-the-counter medications often make claims on their packaging that are geared more toward advertising for sales than informing for treatment. It's good to know what the difference between "non-drowsy," "nighttime" and "daytime" really is. "Non-drowsy" medication simply means that there are no ingredients that are meant to induce sleep. This does not, however, mean that the medication is specially formulated to keep you awake or prevent you from getting drowsy. Don't assume that non-drowsy formulas will leave you unaffected: for example many such formulas include pseudoephedrine. "Nighttime" or "PM" medication has compounds that are intended to make you sleepy. Be careful about mixing or doubling up on your medications; if your "nighttime" medications already treats fevers or pain, don't add extra drugs on top of them to target those symptoms. "Daytime" or "AM" medication may be synonymous with "non-drowsy" formulas, or may have caffeine in them to increase alertness. Read the packaging carefully to see what you're getting. Don't assume that "daytime" medications are merely formulas that aren't specifically designed to make you drowsy; if you take one before bedtime, it may well keep you awake. Although nighttime formulas may well get you to sleep quickly, the quality of sleep you get from such medications isn't healing, restorative sleep. Furthermore, the alcohol used in such medications may dehydrate you as you sleep, actually setting your body back in terms of its healing process. Some nighttime medications can become habitual; prolonged reliance on these products to get to sleep can disturb healthy sleeping habits.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find the best interest rate and lowest fees. Make sure to review your good faith estimate before making any commitments.

Answer: It is standard practice for a buyer to shop around for the best interest rate for a mortgage, but for closing costs purposes it is also important to shop around for the lowest fees. Lenders charge a number of fees at closing, but the amount each lender charges for each item can vary. At the time you are qualified for a home loan (a mortgage), your lender is required to provide you with a good faith estimate of your closing costs. This estimate contains the fees that the lender will charge you at your closing. Compare different lender's fees and choose the lender that has the right mix of a low interest rate and low fees. You can often negotiate some of the fees that the lender will charge, so be sure to ask your lender representative if you can get a better deal.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Know that cavities are holes in your teeth. Remember that a cavity is permanent damage. Manage underlying causes.

Answer: These can be visible, but they may not be. These holes in your teeth are caused by tooth decay. Untreated, they can cause a great deal as pain as well as damage to your teeth, bones, gums, and even make you very ill. If they become infected, you will need to seek medical attention to prevent abscesses and the spread of infection. While there are ways to treat cavities, there is not a way to restore the natural tooth substance. A dentist can drill out the damaged areas and fill them with a safe material. You won't get that part of your tooth back. Poor oral hygiene, poor diet, and bad habits such as smoking can all contribute to tooth decay. By limiting or eliminating these problems, you can help to reduce tooth decay. This will help to prevent cavities, as well as promote good oral health overall.
