INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Dry skin is less obvious when you have a daily moisturizing routine.  Look for a glycerin-based moisturizer for intensely dry feet. Avoid walking around after moisturizing your feet. This can cause your feet to pick up dust or dirt and also cause you to slip on tile or wood floors. To avoid possible exposure to nail bed fungus or athlete's foot, never go barefoot in public showers, at public pools, or in locker rooms. After using, wipe pedicure tools with a disinfectant cleanser and store in a clean, dry place. Consider purchasing a pedicure kit or case with zipper closure. This ensures that your pedicure supplies stay together and protected from contaminants. In order to keep your feet looking perfect for summer, do a daily spot check for damage to polish.  Apply a thin coat to areas where polish has been scuffed or chipped. If the chip is deep and affects the uniformity of the surface, buff lightly to smooth rough edges then apply polish over the chip. If this doesn't work, remove polish and repaint the nail. Set aside time once a week to exfoliate feet, apply a moisturizing foot mask, and push back cuticles. This prevents any build-up of dry skin and keeps feet sandal ready.

SUMMARY: Moisturize daily. Wear flip flops. Disinfect clippers and pedicure tools. Touch up or reapply chipped polish. Exfoliate and tend cuticles weekly.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Soaking your nails will probably not take any of the gel nails off by itself. But once you have soaked your nails, it will be easier to remove them with whatever acetone-free method you choose. If you choose to file off the gel nails after soaking, be sure that your nails are totally dry before you start. This will make the filing much easier.
Summary: Remove the gel nails by peeling or filing.

After you pound off the floor from your back handspring, your arms should pop up over your head. This is called the set, the move that helps you transition into the full twisting layout with the best form and speed possible. In the hollowed-out position, your arms should be at your sides and your toes should be pointed. Remember that, just as in doing a regular back layout, you need to focus on achieving as much height as possible so you have time to complete the skill with your legs straight. This will help you maintain your balance as you begin to twist. Your core (abdominal area) should be tight throughout this process. Right when you start to see the ceiling, you should take your lead arm (whichever arm you're twisting towards), and drop it behind you, as if you were elbowing a person behind you. Take your other arm and bring it toward that arm, following the same direction you're twisting towards, as if you were passing a heavy ball you were holding with both hands to the person to the left of you. This will help your entire body complete the turn. Then, open and lift your arms, remembering to keep your entire body straight. Extend your knees and ankles and continue to keep your core tight. Once you have completed the rotation and are turned in the direction that you began the twist from, land on both feet and lift your arms up to complete the full-twisting layout. If you're not quite there and have only made it halfway around, then you can land in the opposite direction that you started from, doing the half twisting layout instead. If you're having trouble reaching this point, you can work on improving your half-twist, even turning your body halfway after you land to get used to the sensation of making a full turn in the air.

One-sentence summary -- Bring your arms up to your ears and set high into the air. Keep your toes pointed and initiate a flip in a hollowed-out position. Keep your arms to either side of your face. Begin to wrap. Keep your arms in this position until you start you see the ground. Stick your landing.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Slowing down your breathing by exhaling for longer than you inhale and taking deep breaths has been shown to not only stimulate your vagus nerve, but also reduce anxiety and promote calmness. Aim to take 6 10-second breaths per minute for 5 minutes to increase vagal activity.  Deeply breathe in with your diaphragm so that your stomach expands outward. Try breathing in for 5 seconds and then slowly exhaling for 5 seconds. If you’re having trouble performing deep breathing exercises, try looking up helpful videos online or downloading an app that will guide you in your breathing. Studies have shown that regularly performing yoga increases the activity of your parasympathetic nervous system, which includes greater stimulation of your vagus nerve. For best results, perform at least 90 minutes of yoga each week consistently.  If you’re a beginner, start out with some relatively easy yoga poses, such as the cat pose, cow pose, bridge pose, and the aptly named easy pose. Similar slow exercises, such as tai chi and qi gong, have also been shown to have a stimulating effect on the vagus nerve. Don’t try to do yoga that is overly difficult for you to do. Remember, yoga should be relaxing as well as physically engaging. Exercise that significantly increases your heart rate, such as jogging, walking, or weightlifting, has a number of positive effects on your mental health, including vagus nerve stimulation. Aim to perform this exercise at least every other day to receive consistent positive results.  Try to engage in exercises that you enjoy doing; this will help ensure that you’re able to do them consistently. Regular exercise also increases brain growth and can help reverse cognitive decline. . Progressive muscle relaxation is an effective way to reduce anxiety. Starting with your toes, squeeze the muscles in both feet to tense them, hold for 10 seconds, then release. Do this for each muscle group in your body until you reach the top of your head. Then, relax for as long as you like.  Find a quiet, comfortable spot to perform a progressive muscle relaxation. Remember to breathe as you perform this exercise. Although your sympathetic nervous system will be initially heightened after being exposed to the cold, once your body becomes acclimated your parasympathetic nervous system will generate a response, including by stimulating the vagus nerve. Try splashing cold water on your face or ending your showers with 1 minute of cold water to increase vagal activity.  Over time, you may find it helpful to take showers only using cold water. Simply spending some time underdressed in cold weather (e.g., wearing a t-shirt during a snowfall) can also stimulate your vagus nerve. For those suffering from epilepsy or from depression that doesn’t respond to therapy or medication, there are devices (called programmable pulse generator devices) that doctors can implant under the skin that stimulate the vagus nerve with electrical impulses that may be particularly useful. Talk to your doctor to determine whether this type of device is right for you.  This form of vagus nerve stimulation is generally considered safe for most people. Some side effects may include voice changes, throat pain, cough, headache, chest pain, or tingling on the skin. As of September 2018, noninvasive devices that stimulate the vagus nerve and that don’t require surgery are available in Europe, but have not yet been made available in the United States.

SUMMARY:
Perform slow, deep breathing exercises. Do yoga for 90 minutes every week. Engage in moderate to intense exercise 4 times a week. Perform progressive muscle relaxation Expose your body to cold water, weather, or beverages. Undergo surgery to implant a device that stimulates your vagus nerve electrically.
