In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you have problems with your liver or your kidneys, for example if you have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease you may be told to lower your protein intake. When your body processes food, the wast product urea is formed. If you have problems with your kidneys the urea may not be passed as it should. A build-up of such waste products can be very damaging for your health.  By lowering the amount of protein you consume you are decreasing your kidneys' workload. But remember that protein is an essential part of your diet and you should only switch to a low protein diet when advised and under the supervision of a doctor. The first step to eating less protein is getting a clear understanding of where and how you consume protein in the first place. We consume two types of protein, high-value protein and low-value protein. Animal protein is high-value protein. It's important that you consume enough of this in order to keep your body healthy. This type of protein typically produces less waste than low-value protein due to the balance of amino acids.  Chicken, turkey, fish, red meat, eggs, and pork are high-value protein foods. Dairy is also a high-value protein, but dairy products also contain a high amount of phosphorous. Because of this, you may be required to lower the amount of dairy products you consume. Vegetable and plant proteins are known as low-value protein because they have less of the essential amino acids that high-value proteins contain. Examples of this kind of protein include cereals, bread, nuts, pasta, rice, noodles and dried beans.  Sometimes high-value proteins, rich in amino acids, are known as complete proteins and low-value proteins as incomplete proteins.  Always check the labels on food packaging to learn about the protein content. Once you know the main sources of protein and their respective values you can begin to analyse your diet and discover where and how you consume protein. If you have a problem with your liver or kidney that has required you to lower your protein, you should always carry out this evaluation with a dietician or doctor who can advise you on finding the right balance. You can use online tools to get a rough idea.  You should never completely cut protein from your diet. The amount you need to reduce your intake by will depend on your particular condition. The amounts you need to consume will change over time so you need to keep in close contact with your doctor to ensure your diet is helping your condition.  The diet still has to meet your everyday nutrition needs, so it's not just a case of cutting things out haphazardly. How much protein you need to eat if you have a diagnosed liver or kidney problem will be determined exactly by your doctor and dietician. It will vary from case to case, but for kidney problems you may be told to consume just 200ml of milk, as well as one serving of protein, each day. This serving could be equivalent to 25g of meat (including chicken and turkey), 40g of fish, 1 egg, 25g of cheese, 25g of soya, or 75g of tofu, lentils or chick peas.  For male adults (19-50) without kidney problems, the recommendation is 55.5g daily. For women of the same age it is 45g. Males between 11 and 14 normally need 42.1g and females slightly less, 41.2g. 15-18 year old males should get 55.2g daily, and females 45g.
Summary: Understand why you might need to eat less protein. Determine high-value protein foods. Identify low-value protein foods. Evaluate your normal diet. Know the recommended levels of consumption.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: There are four types of tears that you may get when you have a child. First degree tears are thin tears of the skin. Second degree tears are tears that involve the skin and muscle. These are the least serious types of tears. Third degree tears go down through the perineal muscles and into the anal canal. Fourth degree tears go into the anal canal and rectum. Any vaginal tear from childbirth needs stitches. The doctor will place minor stitches along the tear for first and second tears. Third and fourth degree tears need more involved stitching. Each layer of skin and muscle needs to be sewed separately. For third and fourth degree tears, the doctor will focus on stitching together the muscles that support the anus and rectum. No matter the degree of the tear, you should keep the area clean. This can help reduce bacteria and help prevent infection. Wash your vaginal and perineal area multiple times each day. Pat the area dry with a clean towel. Make sure to dry from the front to the back so you don't get bacteria from the rectum in your vagina. An easy one to do is to squeeze the muscles that make you urinate. Hold it for up to 5 minutes before releasing. Repeat this 10 times throughout the day.
Summary: Determine the type of tear you have. Get stitches. Keep the area clean. Do Kegel exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can also purchase old shirts at a thrift store if you don’t have any that need to be refashioned. The more worn the fabric is, the better it will work. High-low shirts tend to be drapey and hang loosely over the stomach and hips. They can even be layered over tank tops. Baseball shirts or those with a similar hem are even easier to convert.
Summary:
Find an old t-shirt or button down shirt in your closet. Choose a shirt that is loose. Opt for a shirt that has a flap in front and back.
