Problem: Article: During this transitional state of your life, it's important to take good care of yourself. Spend time with good friends who support you. Listen to soothing music while taking a warm, bubble bath. Spend a leisurely afternoon shopping in your favorite boutique. Hibernate at home with healthy snacks and a good book. It doesn't matter what you do. Simply engage in activities and be around people that pour into your cup rather than taking from it. Be gentle with yourself and indulge in your favorite pastimes. You might think that a pint of ice cream will soothe your woes. An indulgence here or there is fine, but too many indulgences can leave you feeling guilty later. Make a commitment to avoid self-sabotaging behaviors and eat healthy instead. Fuel your body with real, whole foods like lean proteins, veggies, fruits, and whole grains while avoiding processed, sugary, and salty foods. A healthy diet can improve your mood. In some ways, exercise can be one of the best forms of therapy. You start a session feeling somber and down, and 30 minutes later you are bounding with energy and enthusiasm. Take advantage of nature's feel-good chemicals, endorphins, and schedule regular physical activity into your day. Double the benefits by asking a friend to come along when you work out, or joining a group fitness class. Being with others who are in a bright mood can also influence you to feel better. If you notice that no matter how many strides you take to move on, you keep returning to the past, you may need to forgive. Holding on to bitterness or resentments against your boyfriend can keep you from fully recovering after being dumped.  You can reach a place of forgiveness by trying to understand your ex's reasoning. Have you ever been in a bad situation and didn't really know how to get out of it? Have you ever handled a situation badly and ended up hurting someone? This is not to say that what happened to you was right, but allowing yourself to at least empathize with your ex can help you find emotional closure. Another method is to write a letter. You might start by simply outlining the break-up from your point of view. Then, you can move into your thoughts, feelings, and the way you reacted to being dumped. Feel free to express any anger or resentment in the letter. Get it off your chest. Finally, close the letter by telling your ex that you are choosing to forgive and move on (this doesn't mean you are forgetting!). Afterwards, you can burn the letter or shred it to pieces.
Summary: Nurture yourself. Eat well. Stay active. Strive to forgive.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Not all supplements are right for everyone, so you need to make sure it’s safe for you to take garcinia cambogia. Your doctor can help you understand the risks and benefits of taking the supplement, as well as how safe it is for you to use. Unfortunately, garcinia cambogia can interact with certain medications, including antidepressants, cough medicines, and allergy medications. However, it may also reduce the effectiveness of other medications, as well. Additionally, garcinia cambogia may not be appropriate for you if you have liver problems or are pregnant or nursing. Tell your doctor everything you’re taking, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications. They can help you understand the risks and benefits of taking the supplement along with your medicine. Although side effects aren’t common with garcinia cambogia, they can occur. If you think you might be experiencing side effects, it’s best to visit your doctor to rule out other causes and make sure you’re okay. Here are the possible side effects of this supplement:  Dizziness Headache Dry mouth Nausea Diarrhea This may be a sign of a serious disorder called “serotonin syndrome,” which happens when your serotonin levels are too high. Since garcinia cambogia can increase your serotonin levels, it’s possible that it can lead to serotonin syndrome. However, this is more likely to happen if you’re taking an antidepressant along with your supplement, which is inadvisable. See your doctor if you experience any of the following:  Agitation Restlessness Hallucination Abnormal eye movements Loss of coordination Overactive reflexes

SUMMARY: Talk to your doctor before you introduce any supplements into your diet. Check with your doctor if you take medication or have certain medical conditions. See your doctor immediately if you’re experiencing side effects. Seek immediate care if you experience neurological side effects.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The first step is rest — stop all exacerbating activity in order to address your injury, at least for a few days or so. More rest (a few weeks) may be needed depending on the severity of your back injury. For a backache, laying on your back with your knees bent and legs slightly elevated is a good idea because it can take the pressure off the low back joints and provide some pain relief.  Laying on your back for hours at a time is not a good idea, either. Get up at least once an hour to move around even a little bit, and try going for a leisurely walk every day. Avoid excessive sitting (more than 30 minutes at a time) because it puts more pressure on the low back joints and may further irritate them. Cold therapy (ice wrapped in a thin towel or frozen gel packs) should be applied to the injury as soon as possible in order to stop reduce inflammation. Ice should be applied for 10 – 15 minutes every hour, then reduce the frequency as the pain and swelling subside. Compressing the ice against your back will help to further combat the inflammation.  Backaches from joint sprains are usually described as sharp and shooting in nature and they tend to be fairly debilitating. Most range of motion in the affected area is lost, and walking, sitting and sleeping are noticeably impaired. People with spinal joint sprains usually walk hunched over and to the side because the muscles surrounding the affected joints quickly spasm to "guard" the injury. Chiropractors and osteopaths are spinal specialists that focus on establishing normal motion and function of the small spinal joints that connect the vertebrae, called spinal facet joints. Manual joint manipulation, also called an adjustment, can be used to unjam or reposition facet joints that are slightly misaligned, which triggers inflammation and sharp pain, particularly with movement. You can often hear a "popping" sound with a spinal adjustment, similar in concept to when you extend your knuckles. Traction techniques or stretching of your spine may also help.  Although a single spinal adjustment can sometimes completely relieve your back sprain, more than likely it will take three to five treatments to notice significant results. If uneven leg lengths or flat feet is deemed to be the primary cause of your backache, then your doctor or chiropractor may recommend orthotics, which are custom made shoe inserts that support the arches, promote better biomechanics when running or walking, and help alleviate back pain. A facet joint injection involves real-time fluoroscopic (X-ray) guidance of a needle through the back muscles and into the inflamed or irritated spinal joint, followed by a release of an anesthetic and corticosteroid mixture, which quickly relieves both pain and inflammation at the site. Facet joint injections take 20 – 30 minutes to do and the results can last from a few weeks to a few months.  Facet joint injections are limited to three within a six-month time frame. The pain relief benefits from facet joint injections typically begin on the second or third day post treatment. Until that time frame, your backache may get a little worse.
Summary:
Reduce your activity level. Apply ice. See a chiropractor or osteopath. Get a facet joint injection.
