Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Provide your child with the appropriate equipment for their physical activities. Teach your child safe practices to avoid injury. Monitor your child at the playground.

Answer: Among the most common injuries to children are those involving bikes and skateboards. Most occur from not using proper gear.  Protect your child from skateboarding, bike riding, scooter riding and in-line skating injuries with knee and elbow pads and wrist guards (and, of course, helmets). Elbow pads can prevent 82% of elbow injuries, and knee pads can prevent 32% of knee injuries.  Choose the proper bike size for your child. A child should be able to straddle the bike with both feet on the ground. If the bike is too large, your child won't be able to comfortably use the brakes.  Buy durable in-line skates with proper ankle supports. From bike riding to jumping on a trampoline, place your child in position to participate safely in physical activities. Whatever the activity, ensure that your child begins slowly and is in control while learning safety rules.  Encourage your child to master the proper technique of skateboarding before trying tricks. Practice on level ground. About a third of skateboard injuries happen in the first few weeks of skateboarding. Encourage your child to crouch down whenever they think they might take a skateboard spill so that there will be a shorter distance to fall.  Only allow one person per skateboard. This will help prevent more injuries, as having more than one person on a skateboard is dangerous. If all people are not at the same level of balance, the skateboard can flip and serious injury can occur to all persons riding the same skateboard.  Begin bike riding on soft surfaces. A closely cut lawn works and will cushion a fall. Beware of trampolines. Experts suggest that trampolines should never be used as play equipment Make a rule that no more than one child can be on a trampoline.  Many broken bones are due to children colliding while jumping. Not all injuries are as serious, but can still affect them physically for a period of time. Do not take this risk.  Teach your child to ice skate by using a milk crate as a "crutch" for the child. The child holds onto the milk crate and pushes it across the ice while skating. Each year around 200,000 children are injured in playgrounds in America. Don't assume that because the playground is designed for children, it's safe. Always supervise your child to prevent her from doing anything too dangerous.  Stand beneath your child if your child is playing on the monkey bars or slide. Falls from monkey bars and slides are one of the main causes of fractured arms in playgrounds. Always be ready to catch them.  Be careful if you are sliding down a slide with your toddler. If the child's foot gets stuck, your weight pressing on the child from behind can cause a broken shin bone.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find out if it is legal to keep chickens in your area. Make sure that you can house the new chickens. Decide if you want to take a chance on more roosters. Obtain a rooster. Start breeding in the spring. Decide between incubating the eggs yourself, or allowing the hen to raise her chicks.

Answer: Some places have strict laws on keeping chickens whilst other places has ruled on keeping roosters and the amount of chickens you have. To avoid a fine it is best to check your local laws and regulations in your area. Many people don’t take into account that when you breed chickens, you will end up with significantly more chickens than you started with. Ensure that your chicken coop is ready for the new additions to your flock. Keep spare coops and equipment around so you're prepared to separate roosters or bullies of the flock. Sometimes you just won't have enough room to keep all chickens in one coop or you might get a few more roosters than hens that are aggressive towards each over. Breeding chickens will result in about 50% male chicks. Male chickens will not contribute to your egg production, eat larger amounts of food, and will significantly increase the noise level of your flock. Be aware that breeding chickens will always result in having to deal with roosters.[citation needed] In order to fertilize your hen’s eggs, you will need a rooster in prime breeding condition. The rooster does not need to be the same breed as your hens in order to mate. You should have 1 rooster for every 10 hens.  Try to find a rooster from a good breeding stock. His eye color should be even, and his feet should be free from deformities. The rooster’s comb should look like a standard comb for his breed. Be prepared for noise. Roosters are loud animals, and many cities and suburban areas have laws against owning roosters due to the noise. Make sure that you can legally own a rooster. If you cannot, you will need to purchase fertilized eggs to hatch. Some breeds can be fairly aggressive. Make sure that you pick a rooster that is even-tempered, especially if you have children. Although you can breed chickens throughout most of the year, chickens bred in the Spring tend to be stronger. Chickens born in the Spring will begin producing eggs in Autumn. You do not need to do anything special in order to breed your chickens, just introduce the rooster to your flock and let nature take its course.  Make sure both your hens and your rooster are eating quality food. This will ensure that their reproductive systems are as strong as possible. If you are breeding second generation or third generation chickens, be very wary of inbreeding issues. Try to tag your chickens so that you know which ones are related to the rooster. You can keep the rooster separate and only allow in the hens that you want to breed. You may also consider getting a new rooster each year. If you rely on your hens for egg-laying, letting the hen raise the egg will result in about 3 months of lost egg production (21 days to set and hatch her clutch, and another 2 months to raise her babies before she starts laying again). You will also need a “broody” hen, which means she is willing to sit on the egg for the entire incubation period.  Most chickens have had the broody trait bred out to keep them productive. Some of the broodiest breeds include: Silkies, Serama, Brahma, Jersey Giant, New Hampshire Red, Sussex, and others. If you have a large number of eggs to incubate, or are incubating to sell, it may be worthwhile to invest in an incubator.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor before making any changes. Take vitamins and supplements. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to select reliable products. Eat a healthy diet. Consume more dairy products. Stop smoking. Reduce your stress.

Answer:
Your doctor can provide direction, specific to your body and your situation, that can help you choose the best way to increase your progesterone levels. Your doctor is your best resource to understanding the changes or problems you are experiencing. Discuss supplements and lifestyle adjustments with your doctor to be sure that is the best option for you. Vitamin C, vitamin E, l-arginine, vitamin B6, selenium, and beta carotene have all been shown to increase progesterone levels. While natural sources of these supplements are part of a healthy diet, the vitamin or supplement content found in natural sources is not enough to make a difference in increasing your progesterone levels. Consider using manufactured products that contain higher concentrations of vitamins and supplements. Studies have shown the following amounts to be beneficial in increasing progesterone levels:  Consume 750mg of Vitamin C per day (increased progesterone levels by as much as 77%).  Consume 600mg of Vitamin E per day (Increased progesterone in 67% of patients studied) .  Take 6gm per day of L-arginine (improved serum progesterone in 71% of patients) .  Take 200mg to 800mg per day of vitamin B6 (reduces blood levels of estrogen and improves concentrations of progesterone) .  Add selenium to your daily vitamin doses (consuming selenium at any dose was shown to improve progesterone levels) .  Consume more beta-carotene (studies in animals showed improvement in progesterone levels and fertility) . Losing weight, avoiding large meals, eating a high protein and low carbohydrate diet, decreasing saturated fat intake, and increasing consumption of unsaturated fats, are recommended to improve your levels of progesterone.  Studies in overweight women show that losing as little as 5% of your body weight improves your progesterone levels.  In an animal study, the amount of available food was controlled during early pregnancy, resulting in higher levels of hormones needed to support pregnancy in the group that was not allowed to over eat.  Dietary changes that included higher amounts of protein and lower amounts of carbohydrates were positively correlated to improving progesterone levels in the women studied.  One animal study showed significant increases in progesterone when the diet was higher in omega 3 and omega 6 products contained in flaxseed, combined with a lower intake of saturated fats. While dairy products contain only small amounts of progesterone, research has shown a significant increase in progesterone levels in men when they consumed three servings per day of high-fat dairy products. The nicotine found in cigarettes can interfere with the way your ovaries naturally produce hormones, which disrupts processes involved with normal cyclic functioning. Cigarette smoking also adds to the risk of serious, and possibly life-threatening, adverse events when combined with products that contain estrogen or progesterone. Stress only adds to the complications that are already at work as you are trying to provide a healthy hormonal balance.  Use relaxation techniques that help you to breathe more deeply and stretch your muscles to reduce tension.  Take time out for a massage, and routinely take part in activities you enjoy.  Take care of your body by getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and participate in physical activity on a regular basis.
