Q: If you have developed a URI, keep yourself at home for at least two or three days (you may need to stay at home longer depending on your symptoms). Keep in mind that every time you cough, sneeze, or even talk, you run the risk of infecting someone else. Because URIs are very contagious, it is important to cover your mouth and nose whenever you sneeze or cough; however, you should not do this with your hand. If possible, sneeze or cough into a tissue or the crook of your arm. The reason you should avoid coughing into your hands is because you use your hands for a variety of activities, including touching objects that others may touch, which means that you are very likely to infect others. If you do cough or sneeze into your hands, wash them with warm water and soap. Viruses and bacteria can be easily transmitted by touching an object that an uninfected individual also touches. Because of this, it is important to clean any objects that you touch while you are sick. You can use a 70% alcohol disinfectant to do this. These objects include: Remote controls, keyboards, telephones, refrigerator door, stair railings, and door knobs.
A: Stay at home when you know you have become infected. Cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing. Clean objects that you or other infected individuals touch.

Q: Move one of the oven racks into the center position so your fish can cook thoroughly. Turn the oven onto 400 °F (204 °C) and let it preheat completely or else the fish won’t have an even cook. Lay the fish flat on its side on the baking pan. If you’re making multiple fish, then leave about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) between them so you have space to add aromatics. Fill in the space around the fish with sliced lemons and red onion so they can cook down and infuse flavors into the meat. You don’t need to use lemon and onion if you don’t want to, but it can add a lot of flavor to the dish. Put the baking pan in your oven on the center rack, and leave it alone for at least 15 minutes.  Check the internal temperature of the fish with a meat thermometer to make sure it’s at or above 145 °F (63 °C), or else it’s not safe to eat. Remove the fish from the oven once it’s done cooking and the meat flakes apart easily. The cooking time for each fish will vary depending on its size and thickness. Transfer one of the tilapia along with some of the cooked onions onto a serving plate with a fresh wedge of lemon. You can eat the skin and the meat of the tilapia. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
A: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Place the fish in a baking tray with sliced lemons and red onions. Bake the fish uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Serve the tilapia whole while it’s still hot.

Q: One of the first methods to managing and decreasing hunger during work hours is making sure that you eat regular and consistent meals. Skipping meals or waiting too long between meals may increase your hunger.  Studies have shown that regular and consistent meal consumption in addition to a small snack daily lead to decreased hunger throughout the day. It's important to eat a minimum of 3 meals daily. However, depending on your schedule and office hours, you may need to eat more meals or include a few snacks during the day. Do not skip meals and do not leave more than 4-5 hours of time in between meals without having a planned snack. One of the best foods to fight hunger during your work day is protein. Always include a source of protein at each meal and snack.  Many studies have showed that higher protein diets and higher protein meals keep you feeling more satisfied during your actual meal and for many hours after you're done eating.  Including a source of protein at each meal and snack can help spread out this hunger-fighting nutrient throughout your entire day. Plan to include 1 or 2 servings (about 3-4 oz) of protein at each meal. If you're concerned about calories or watching your waistline, go for leaner sources of protein which are naturally lower in calories and fat. Try: poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean beef, seafood or legumes. Another important nutrient that can help keep hunger at bay while you're at the office is fiber. Make each of your meals full of fiber to help manage your appetite.  Studies have shown that those people with higher fiber diets are more satisfied during the day and tend to eat less overall.  Fiber provides physical bulk to meals and takes longer to digest. Women should aim for 25 grams of fiber daily and men should plan on getting about 38 grams daily.  Include one or two high fiber foods at each meal and snack. This will help you meet your daily goal but also keep this filling nutrient spread out during the day. Foods that are high in fiber include: fruits, vegetables, starchy vegetables and whole grains. Meals and snacks that are high in protein and fiber include: Greek yogurt with nuts and fruit, whole grain wrap filled with lean deli meat and cheese with a small fruit salad, a large spinach salad with raw vegetables and grilled salmon or whole wheat pasta tossed with grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. Another neat trick to manage hunger throughout the day is by drinking enough water. If you typically feel hungry frequently or have difficulty managing your appetite, water may be the answer.  If you're not getting enough fluids daily or are even just mildly dehydrated, your brain and body may interpret "thirst" as feelings of hunger. You may feel hungry and feel like you need to snack or eat more, when you just need more fluids.  To ensure you're not making this mistake, make sure you're drinking adequate fluids each day. Aim for at least 8 glasses, but even up to 13 glasses daily.  Also stick to calorie-free, decaf beverages. These are the best. Try: water, flavored water, sparkling water, decaf coffee and tea.
A: Eat 3-6 meals daily. Always eat protein. Make your meals high fiber. Drink a lot of water.

Q: Buildup of grime and dirt can, over time, cause your steamer machine to function less effectively. If you simply take a few moments to wipe down the outside of the steamer with a damp washrag, this can help prevent future damage and extend the life of your steamer.  Try to remember to wipe down the exterior of the steamer after every use for best results. You should also wipe the steamer down if it has been stored for a long period of time without being used. After you use the steamer, you should rinse the machine out with fresh water. This will help prevent sediment buildup on the inside of the steam cleaner and keep your machine fresh for longer. Do this after each time you use the steamer to make sure your machine stays as clean as possible. Whenever you aren’t using the steamer, you should store it in a cool, dry place to prevent any mildew or mold from forming. You should try to cover the steamer with plastic so that the amount of dust that settles on the machine is minimal. Storing your steamer properly will help prolong the life of your machine.
A:
Wipe down the outside regularly. Rinse the steamer with fresh water after each use. Store the steamer properly.
