In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While splashing water on your face may feel great, it can spread infection and cause greater eye discomfort after surgery. Depending on the surgery, the length of time to avoid getting water in the eye can vary. For example, after LASIK surgery, you should use goggles while showering for about a week. Speak to your doctor for specific guidance.  This does not necessarily apply to all surgeries, so check with your doctor. After retinal surgery, for instance, it is probably okay to get a little water in your eye one day after surgery. Be very gentle whenever you dry your face. Instead of splashing water to wash your face, wet a washcloth and rinse your face with light pressure. Showers can be tricky right after surgery, as you need to avoid letting water drip down into your eye (except in the case of retinal surgery). Until your doctor gives your the green light, it may be easier to take baths in water that reaches up to the neck. To wash your hair, tilt your head back so your hair gets wet while your face remains dry. You should avoid putting any foreign substance on the skin around the eye until cleared by your doctor. This includes not only makeup, but also oils and lotions you may use regularly on your face. Eye irritations from these products can progress to infection that might endanger eye health. Of course, you can wear lipstick or lip gloss, but avoid any sort of makeup that could come into contact with your eye. After surgery, your eyes will not be able to adapt to light quickly. Bright light exposure may result in extreme light sensitivity and pain. Because of this vulnerability, protect your eyes from anything that might strain them. Wear sunglasses when you go out during the day for as long as instructed by your surgeon. This usually lasts from about 3 days to a week, though it will vary depending on the type of surgery. Follow your doctor's instructions. In some cases, your surgeon will advise you to wear a shield over your eye while sleeping for a few days to two weeks after surgery. This is to prevent you from squishing the eye or rubbing it while sleeping. For at least the first week after surgery, treat such irritants as potential causes of infection. Wear protective glasses if there's a risk dust particles getting in your eyes. Smokers should try to quit for at least the week, but wear protective glasses and avoid the smoke as much as possible if exposed to smoke. Your eye might itch after surgery, but resist the temptation to rub it. Rubbing your eye could disturb fragile incisions and the surface of the eye. You could also transfer bacteria from your hands.  Your doctor will likely provide eye protection, like a patch of gauze or protective glasses. You can remove the protection to administer any prescribed eye drops.  Make sure that you wear protection for as long as your surgeon advises. When you sleep, take care to not apply pressure to the eye and make sure to maintain any special positioning recommended by your doctor. Wash your hands whenever there's risk of exposure to bacteria: outdoors, bathroom, traveling, etc. Don't surround yourself with too many people for the first few days after surgery; staying home may reduce your exposure to ill contacts. Reporting symptoms after surgery and attending scheduled follow-up appointments is the best way to contain potential problems. If common post-procedure symptoms occur but linger, you should still inform your doctor. If possible, record the time that the symptoms began. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience the following severe symptoms:  Cataract surgery: Increased pain, vision loss or flashes/floaters.  LASIK surgery: Increased pain or worsening vision in the days after the surgery.  Retinal detachment surgery: You may still experience flashes of light, but they should  gradually disappear. If you experience new flashes of light, increased floaters or visual field loss, contact your doctor immediately. All surgeries: excessive pain, bloody discharge, or vision loss. To maintain your good health after surgery, eat balanced meals of lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and raw juices. Stay well hydrated to speed up the healing process. The Institute of Medicine recommends 13 cups (3 liters) of water per day for men, and 9 cups (2.2 liters) for women. While not a replacement for a balanced diet, multivitamins can help round out your diet. In particular, vitamin C helps facilitate healing; vitamin E, lutein, and zeaxanthin protect new tissue from free radicals that can damage the body; and vitamin A is important for vision.  The following are the FDA's recommended daily values for vitamins:  Vitamin C: 90 mg for men; 75 mg for women; +35 mg for smokers Vitamin E: 15 mg of natural vitamin E or 30 mg of synthetic vitamin E Lutein and Zeaxanthin: 6 mg Depending on the surgery and your personal recovery, your doctor will give you specific instructions on screen time. For example, you shouldn't look at any screens for at least 24 hours after Lasik surgery. Speak to your doctor about screen limitations based on your surgery and recovery.
Summary: Avoid getting water in the affected eye. Adjust your washing routine. Avoid cosmetic products around the eyes. Protect your eyes from direct sunlight. Wear a shield over your eye when you sleep. Avoid dust and smoke. Do not rub your eyes. Be wary of bacteria. Report severe symptoms to your doctor immediately. Take care of yourself. Take restorative vitamins. Limit computer screen exposure.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: When you swear-off sugar, treat it as an opportunity to explore other flavors. You might not know what you were missing while you were adding sugar to everything! Try some sugar substitutes to introduce new flavors to your food. Common sugar replacements are cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and apple sauce. Try to avoid artificial sugar substitutes like Sweet’n’Low as much as you can. These are sugar-free, but don’t have a good effect on weight-loss or other health goals.
Summary: Replace sugar with other spices and flavorings.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Since plasma TVs use more power and generate more heat than LCD TVs, it is best to turn the screen off before cleaning. Let the screen remain off for 15-20 minutes. This will allow ample time for the unit to cool before you clean the screen.  Failure to do this may cause your cleaning solution to evaporate before it has had enough time to remove any dust, dirt, or contaminants on your screen. You could use a microfiber cleaning cloth or a soft, clean cotton rag. Rub it gently in a circular motion across the TV screen to remove all signs of dust. This should be enough to remove most dirt and dust from your TV screen.  Avoid rubbing the screen with wood-based products (e.g., paper towels, toilet paper, tissues) because they can scratch the screen. If stubborn dirty spots persist after wiping the screen dry, you can dampen your cleaning cloth. Spray 2-3 squirts of the cleaning solution on the soft cloth. Do not spray the cleaning product directly onto the screen, or it may saturate the surface and damage the screen. Don’t use a stronger chemical cleaner (e.g., ammonia or benzene), as these substances will cloud and dim the displayed image. You can find isopropyl-alcohol based screen cleaners at most PC-supply or electronics stores. Try to find a cleaner designed to clean television or computer screens. Once your cloth is dampened, use it to wipe away any hard-to-clean fingerprints or smudges on the surface of your plasma screen. If the moistened cloth is not cleaning sufficiently, you can spray additional small amounts of cleaner on the cloth. However, don’t saturate the screen with liquid cleaner or you may damage the plasma.  At no time do you want the cloth wet enough that it causes the solution to drip or run down the screen! After wiping the screen clean with a damp cloth, run a dry cloth over it to soak up any residual moisture. This will prevent your plasma screen from being damaged by the liquid. Once the screen is dry, you can plug the set back in and resume watching TV.
Summary:
Turn off the plasma display and let it cool before cleaning it. Wipe the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and smudges. Spray an alcohol-based screen cleaner onto a clean cloth. Swab the screen with the dampened cloth to remove stubborn dust. Dry the screen with a separate clean, dry cloth.
