INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If fiber is affecting your health or making you uncomfortable, it may be ideal to consume less fiber than what's recommended for an average, healthy person.  The total fiber intake recommended for women is: 25 g daily. The total fiber intake recommended for men is: 38 g daily.  Keep track of how much fiber you eat throughout the day. You may find it easy to use a food journaling app to help you accurately calculate fiber each day. Fiber is found in a wide range of foods including grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Limiting the fiber in each meal or snack can help cut down on your overall consumption and may alleviate GI symptoms.  Choose lower fiber fruits or remove fibrous parts of fruits. For example: eat applesauce instead of an apple, because the skin of the apple contains a large amount of fiber, or drink six ounces of 100% juice daily. Fruits that are lower in fiber include: canned fruit, cooked fruit, and fruit without the skin or peel. Choose lower fiber vegetables or remove fibrous parts. For example: take the skin off your potato or remove the seeds from your zucchini. Vegetables that are lower in fiber include: canned vegetables, well-cooked and very soft vegetables, vegetables without seeds, and 100% vegetable juice. Choose lower fiber grains. For example: avoid 100% whole grain foods since these are higher in fiber. Choose lower fiber grains like: white rice, white bread, cream of wheat or cream of rice, or plain pasta. There are two types of fiber — soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber is sometimes called "roughage," as it's main function is speed the process of digestion.  Insoluble fiber may stimulate bowls more than desired causing diarrhea in those who are susceptible or have a chronic health condition.  Insoluble fiber is found in the following foods: whole grains, vegetables and wheat bran.  Soluble fiber absorbs water, makes stools easier to pass and may slow digestion slightly. This type of fiber is more gentle and may be more appropriate for some people.  Although insoluble fiber may have negative side effects for some, in general, it's a healthy addition to your diet and can help prevent constipation. Many food companies now add fiber into different foods to help increase fiber intake. Fiber may be added to foods that typically have little to no fiber and should be avoided by those minimizing fiber in their diets. Examples of foods to limit include:  Orange juice with pulp and added fiber. Artificial sweeteners with added fiber. Yogurts with added fiber. Soy milk with added fiber. Granola bars or bread that have additional added fiber (these may be lower in fiber prior to processing additional added fiber). There are a variety of fiber supplements that are available to help people increase their fiber intake. However, these should be discontinued immediately if fiber is posing a problem for you or your health.  Discontinue the use of any stool softeners or laxatives that contain added fiber. Do not take oral gummies or fiber capsules. Do not add extra powdered fiber or psyllium husk to foods or beverages. Writing up a meal plan can help you plan out all the meals and snacks you eat in a day and provide a framework for you to follow throughout the week.  Calculate how much fiber is in each meal or snack and what your total daily intake will be. A meal plan will allow you to change things up, make substitutions or swaps so that you don't go over your target fiber goal each day. Take some of your free time to plan your meals and snacks for one week. Include all meals and snacks you typically eat everyday. Repeat this exercise every week or as needed.

SUMMARY: Consume less than the recommended amounts of fiber daily. Minimize fiber in meals and snacks. Limit insoluble fiber. Minimize fiber-fortified foods. Discontinue fiber supplements. Write up a meal plan.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Place a large cast iron skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Give the pan 1 or 2 minutes to heat up.  If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any nonstick frying pan should work adequately well. Ideally, you should not add any oil to this pan before or after it heats up. If you need to add some type of nonstick coating, apply a light layer of nonstick cooking spray to the surface before heating the pan. Place three dough patties on the hot skillet. Cook the dough for 1 minute, flip, then continue cooking for another minute.  Arrange the dough patties on the skillet with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between them. You should cook the dough patties until they brown and blister on both sides. This should be a quick process as long as the pan is adequately hot. Remove the sopes from the pan and allow them to cool for 30 to 60 seconds, or until they are cool enough to handle safely. Do not wait for the sopes to cool completely. If they cool too much, you won't be able to shape them. Use your fingers to pinch around the outer edge of each sope, forming a 1/4 to 1/2 inch (0.6 to 1.25 cm) rim around the entire circumference.  You should form this raised edge on the side of the sope cooked first to help protect your fingers from the hot dough. While not strictly necessary, you could also pinch a smaller ring around the center of each patty. Doing so may help prevent the sope from falling apart after you fill it. After shaping your first three sopes, continue shaping the remaining nine dough patties in the same manner.  Work with only three patties at once. If you try to do too many, the patties may burn or cool too quickly. Set aside the shaped sopes while working on the flat patties. Try to keep them warm.

SUMMARY: Heat a cast iron skillet. Lightly cook the dough patties. Cool slightly. Pinch the edges. Repeat with the remaining dough.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A room with a skylight or at least a large window is ideal for your newborn’s room.  A well-lit space will allow your newborn to get used to the night/day cycle, thereby minimizing the length of time it takes your baby to sleep according to a regular schedule. If you walk around the house with your shoes on, start taking them off at the front door.  Swap out synthetic candles containing benzene for beeswax candles.  Introduce some house plants to your home.  Air the house out by opening the windows for about 24 hours (weather permitting). To give your newborn really clean air, buy an air filter for your baby’s room. There are many ways to set up your newborn’s room.  For instance, you and your partner might put the crib and other furniture together, paint the room, and/or hang a mobile. Preparing for a newborn’s arrival often means that you don’t have time to clean the house.  After the newborn arrives, you and your partner often don’t have energy to clean.  If you can afford it, hire someone to clean your house during the month or so prior to the baby’s arrival and for the first three months after their arrival.

SUMMARY: Choose a room with windows. Take steps to eliminate indoor air pollution. Help your partner set up the baby's room. Consider hiring a house cleaner.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All inkjet printers are specifically calibrated for use with certain types of paper media. Using products other than those recommended by the manufacturer will often lead to color saturation issues that can negatively impact the quality of photos and images. Directions for performing scheduled maintenance can be found in the user's manual included with the printer at the time of purchase. Tasks, such as head cleaning and printer alignment, typically can be implemented from the device's control panel.  Adhere to the recommended maintenance on an inkjet printer, as directed by the manufacturer. Blocked nozzles and clogged printer heads are a common source of issues with inkjet printers and can compromise print quality. Turn off the device when not in use. Leaving the device turned on exposes the printer heads to dust particles and debris, which can degrade the quality of images printed from an inkjet printer. Confirm that the latest device drivers and firmware updates are installed on the printer. These updates usually can be downloaded free of charge from the printer manufacturer's website. Save high-quality photo ink cartridges for use only when printing images and graphics to reduce wear and tear on the print heads. Ink cartridges tend to be fragile and can damage easily.

SUMMARY:
Use the highest quality photo-grade paper recommended by the manufacturer. Follow the inkjet printer maintenance and care instructions as directed by the manufacturer.
