In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This will help reduce swelling and dry up or draw out any infection that might be present in the gum boil. Fill half a tumbler or glass with lukewarm water and add half a teaspoon of standard table salt. Mix until the salt is dissolved. It doesn't matter if some remains in the bottom of the glass. Use the saltwater as you would your usual mouthwash, but be careful to keep a special emphasis on the infected site when you're rinsing. Do not swallow the saltwater. Continue washing with the salt washes once or twice a day for a week to help heal the boil. This will reduce chances of it coming back. At the same time, be sure to maintain a good dental hygiene routine. This method is recommended by oral health professionals and is clinically proven to be effective, but is not a replacement for a visit to your dentist. Applying essential oils topically to a gum boil can help reduce the levels of bacteria present and improve the overall tissue health. Combined, these factors can lead to the dissipation of a gum boil without needing to seek professional help. Simply add a few drops of the essential oil to a glass of water and rinse your mouth thoroughly. Some good essential oils to choose are spearmint or peppermint oils. Be sure not to swallow the essential oil mixture. Remember that this is a recommended home remedy and has not been proven effective with scientific evidence. Consuming raw onions can be a very effective home remedy for treating gum boils. Onions contain relatively high levels of sulfur, which can help heat up and dry up existing boils in your mouth. This is a home remedy and may be less effective than other solutions that have been verified by medical professionals. If you don't like the taste of raw onions, try eating them on other things like in salads or on sandwiches where the flavor is masked. Don't cook the onions as this can reduce the amount of sulfur present in the vegetable.
Summary: Use a salt mouthwash. Apply essential oils. Eat raw onions.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be planted immediately before your jump. Keep the rest of your body relaxed. Be careful that your knees don't point inwards in a "knock knee" or Valgus position. They should be positioned over the second toe. Let your arms hang loosely at your sides while you crouch into the half-squat. They'll provide a lot of momentum when you jump, so don't keep them in front of you or above you before you jump. You don't need to spend lots of time meditating on your jumps before doing them, but it helps to visualize the steps you'll take. Visualize the push-off and see yourself leaping in the air toward (or over) your target. You'll be focused on the series of steps and tasks you're about to complete, ensuring a successful jump. As soon as you've crouched into a half-squat, immediately spring up into a high jump. Push off from the balls of your feet. Extend your hips, knees, and ankles as far and as quickly as you can. Gradually bring your arms behind your back while keeping them at your sides. When you start to jump up, powerfully swing your arms forward and up into the air. This should help propel you up and provide momentum. Exhale when you're doing the motion, like when you lift weights. Land on the balls of your feet rather than on your toes. Make sure to land with your knees bent and slightly aligned forward. Both of your legs should equally accept the weight of your landing. This will absorb the shock of hitting the ground and prevent knee injury.

One-sentence summary -- Position your foot. Pay attention to your arms. Visualize your jumps. Spring upward into a jump. Swing your arms while you jump. Control your landing.

Problem: Article: Before you start running track, go to the doctor and get a physical to make sure that it's safe for you to run. During the physical, you'll fill out information about your medical history and be examined physically by the doctor. You may have the opportunity to get a physical done at school. If not, make an appointment with your primary care physician. You'll need to get a few different things to wear and use at practices and meets. Get some athletic clothes, such as gym shorts, athletic leggings, moisture-wicking shirts, moisture-wicking socks, and sports bras, that make working out comfortable. Be sure to get some running shoes that have proper support to prevent injuries, a water bottle, and a water-resistant duffel bag to keep everything in. It would be a good idea to keep a sweatshirt and sweatpants in your duffel bag to wear while you warm up. If you prefer sprinting shorter distances to jogging long ones, then sprinting events might be for you. The sprinting events in track include the 100m (110yd) dash, the 200m (220yd) dash, and the 400m (440yd), each of which you can run on your own or in a relay with 3 other people. In a relay race, the first runner in a team of 4 starts with a baton and passes it to the next person immediately after they've finished running the required distance. Then, the second person runs the same required distance and passes it to the third team member and the cycle continues. The 4th team member crosses the finish line with the baton. In track, there are several different longer races that your school or running program may or may not offer. Typically there is a 800m (0.50mi) race, 1,600m (0.99mi) race, and a 3,200m (2.0mi), but the options vary by school and track type. Consider doing one or more of these events if you feel stronger and faster as a distance runner. Especially at the collegiate level, there are farther distance options, sometimes as long as 10,000m (6.2mi)! If you consider yourself agile and athletic but not necessarily a runner, then a jumping event might be a good fit for you. While practicing for these events, you'll probably do a mixture of different exercises, including cross training, weight lifting, sprinting, and jumping drills. Consider trying one of the following jumping events: Long jump Triple jump High jump If you can't decide between running and jumping events, hurdling events incorporate both types of movement. Typically, you can do the 100m (110yd) hurdles, 400m (440yd) hurdles, or both. Either way, you'll have 10 evenly-spaced hurdles set up on the track in your lane that you have to jump over on your way to the finish line. You can do up to 4 events, so if you love both running and jumping, you could do a running event, a jumping event, a hurdling event, and you'd still be able to do one more. For the most part, throwing practice consists of throwing drills and weight lifting. Consider focusing on throwing events if this kind of workout sounds more appealing to you than running-focused workouts. There are several different throwing events that you can try, including: Shot put Javelin Discus
Summary:
Get a sports physical. Get athletic clothes, shoes, and equipment. Try sprinting if you can run fast. Go for middle or long distance events if you have endurance. Try jumping events if you can jump high and/or far. Try hurdling events if you love both running and jumping. Attempt throwing events if you're strong but don't prefer to run.
