Sometimes, depression can make someone feel isolated, alone, or withdrawn from others. Spending time with people you care about is one of the easiest ways to reduce stress and feel better and more balanced in your mood. Spend time with friends and family in person as much as you can. While technology makes texting or emailing easy, you’ll benefit more from seeing someone face-to-face.  Have a weekly get-together with friends or family over dinner. Meet your friends for a workout class or for coffee. You may find that socializing wears you out more quickly when you're depressed. It is okay to rest and have alone time afterward, just make sure that you are socializing regularly and not isolating yourself. Exercise is a great way to beat stress, feel energized, and balance your mood. In some studies, exercise is just as effective as medication in treating mild to moderate depression. Schedule your exercise during a part of the day when your energy is highest. This may be first thing in the morning or during your lunch break. If you don’t like going to the gym, focus on other physical activities that you enjoy.   For example, take a morning walk with your dog or start attending karate classes.  Don’t be afraid to start small. Even 10 minutes each day is better than nothing. Feeling relaxed can help you cope with the symptoms of depression, deal with stress, and increase your feelings of well-being. Spending time relaxing can help you work through stress and help to stabilize your moods. Aim to do a relaxing activity for 30 minutes each day. Watching TV doesn’t count! Find relaxation methods that feel good to you. Try  daily yoga, qi gong, tai chi, and meditation. Feeling depressed can make you isolate yourself and withdraw from activities you enjoy. Do something you enjoy or try a new hobby and stick with it, even when you dread leaving the house. Doing something you enjoy can help boost your mood and increase your self-esteem. Creating something (like woodwork or sewing) can bring satisfaction.  Try painting, planting a garden, or learning a new language. If you feel like skipping the activity, try telling yourself you will just go for 20 or 30 minutes and then you can leave if you're still not feeling it. You may find that, once you get over the hump of getting out, you will enjoy yourself and want to stay. The foods you put into your body can affect how you feel. Avoid substances such as tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, as these can affect your mood. Focus on eating several small meals throughout the day in order to maintain your energy levels. Pay attention to your nutrition to make sure you are eating healthy, balanced meals that contribute to your health, not take away from it. If you struggle with eating healthfully or have dietary restrictions, consider working with a dietician to help you eat better.

Q: When you learn that you’ll be chairing an upcoming meeting, one of the first things you should do is to spend a little time talking to the people who will be attending (especially high-ranking or important people). Ask them if there’s anything they’d specifically like to discuss at the meeting. Take note of their answers and use them to guide you when you write your agenda. Asking your attendees about what they’d like to discuss is a smart move not only because it makes it easier to write an agenda, but also because it engages them in the meeting process before it’s even begun. People are more likely to attend and pay attention during meetings if they know that issues important to them will be addressed. A meeting agenda can be a valuable tool not just for a meeting’s chairperson, but also for the guests in attendance. Agendas contain valuable information about the meeting like when it will be, where it will take place, and who will be in attendance. Most importantly, they also outline all of the intended topics of discussion, allowing everyone to prepare. Send your meeting out in advance of the meeting itself — the more important your meeting is, the earlier you should send it. One thing that your agenda should definitely contain is an approximate time limit for each topic of discussion. Having a rough schedule outlined beforehand makes it much easier to keep your meeting on-track. Though some items on your agenda may run long (and others may run short), a schedule makes it much easier to keep track of these items and adjust accordingly. The people who attend your meeting may not be up-to-speed on all of the topics you plan to discuss — some may not have attended past meetings, while others may have simply forgotten. As the meeting chair, it’s a good idea to know the history of discussion thus far. Try talking to people who attended previous important meetings to learn any important unfinished business that you should address in your meeting. You may also want to request the minutes of past meetings from an official record-keeper to help direct your planning. The minutes from previous meetings can be an important resource to you as chair. These summarize the discussions and decisions that occurred during past meetings, making it relatively quick and easy to get up-to-speed. You may even want to distribute important meeting minutes to your attendees with your agenda. On the day of your meeting, you’ll want to ensure that the room or place you intend to meet in is clean, presentable, and ready to accommodate your attendees. You’ll want to make certain that any technological components of the meeting (like presentations, projectors, displays, etc.) are functioning properly and are completely ready to go — technical snafus can waste valuable time and put your meeting off track. If you're using an electronic presentation (like PowerPoint, etc.), take a moment to familiarize yourself with the remote control or clicker you'll be using to cycle through your slides. You don't want to waste time fumbling with your controls when you could be discussing important issues.
A: Discuss the upcoming meeting with your attendees. Write and distribute an agenda. Research the discussion topics and any previous meetings. Get your meeting space ready ahead of time.

Article: E. coli predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tracts in adults. It causes either watery diarrhea or, in more severe cases, bloody diarrhea that can lead to other complications such as kidney failure. E. coli infections occur most frequently while traveling to areas of the world with poorer hygiene than we have here in North America. It is transmitted via fecal contamination of food, water, etc. Symptoms of an E. coli infection include:  Abdominal pain Nausea and/or vomiting Diarrhea Fever Abdominal cramps It is important to understand that E. coli infections are not able to be "cured" (and the bacteria cannot be "killed") with typical medical drugs such as antibiotics or even antidiarrheals. Rather, the treatment offered by medical professionals is "supportive," meaning it consists of rest, fluids, and medications for symptom management such as pain and/or nausea.  This is counter-intuitive for many people, who often expect medical drugs as a "cure" for illnesses such as an E. coli infection. Antidiarrheal medications are not helpful because they delay the passage of the infection and a worsening of symptoms. Your best bet, counter-intuitive as it may seem, is to allow the diarrhea to continue to get rid of the infection as soon as possible.  Antibiotics are also not recommended — they have been shown to worsen the illness, because when the bacteria are killed they release more toxins, resulting in greater damage. Because antibiotics are not advised in E. coli infections, it will be up to your immune system to kill off the infection. Fortunately, your immune system is very capable of doing this, given adequate time and proper support. Rest, follow your doctor's instructions, and allow your immune system to do its job! Talk to your doctor about the supportive measures you can take to get through the infection. It will be important to stay hydrated as you will be losing lots of fluids while you are sick.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Recognize the symptoms. Do not take anit-diarrheals and antibiotics. Kill the bacteria naturally with your immune system.
