Drinking fluids can help keep you hydrated so that your blood will pump through your body and help keep your blood pressure up. Water is always a good way to stay hydrated. You can also drink sports drinks that contain sodium and potassium. Avoid drinking alcohol because it will dehydrate you. Salt can help keep your blood pressure elevated by helping with the retention of fluids. Talk to your doctor about adding salt to your diet. Never add salt to your diet if you have hypotension without a doctor’s recommendation. Anemia, which can be caused by a lack of red blood cells, can lead to low blood pressure. Low B12, especially in elderly and very thin people, can cause hypotension. Certain B vitamins can help you produce red blood cells and increase your blood pressure. Consider increasing your intake of foods full of vitamin B12 and folate.  B12 can be found in meats, such as beef liver, grass-fed beef, sardines, tuna, salmon, shellfish, and lamb. You can also find it in dairy products, like cottage cheese, eggs, and raw milk.  B12 can also be given in monthly shots or taken in supplement form. However, the uptake time of B12 found in supplements is very slow. Folate can be found in beans and lentils. Green vegetables also have folate. Try spinach and other dark leafy greens, asparagus, lettuce, and broccoli. You can also find folate in avocados and cauliflower. Eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the day can help reduce dizziness and keep your blood pressure level. Make your meals low in carbohydrates. Don’t try to do too much after the meals. Rest and take it easy so your blood pressure doesn’t drop.

Summary: Stay hydrated. Increase the amount of salt in your diet. Add more B vitamins to your diet. Eat small, low carb meals.


Ask yourself whether you seek something serious or something casual. Do you want a hookup situation, or a steady girlfriend, or a long-term partner? Think about where you are in life, and what your goals are beyond these two girls. It can be easy to let your judgment be clouded by passion. It may help to take a step back from the girls in order to understand what you're really after. Maybe you need to focus on your career right now. Maybe you need a certain stability or casualness that only one of these girls can provide. What do you need? Think about what they have in common, and try to understand how they're different. Consider what each of these girls offers, and envision how each of them makes you feel. If you're going to choose, you need to fully understand your choices.  Consider which girl you have better conversations with. Consider who is the most fun, and who inspires you to try new things. Perhaps you enjoy being with one girl more than the other. Think about which girl you can trust. Maybe one girl is a lot of fun, but you can't see yourself building a relationship with her. You may need to consider whether you want something more stable or something more exciting. Determine whether you communicate better with one girl or the other. Communication is incredibly important in any relationship, and you may want to choose the girl with whom you can speak most truthfully. Perhaps one girl makes you feel strong, capable, and worthy, while the other girl belittles you and makes you feel like a stranger to yourself. Maybe one lady makes you feel happy and carefree, while the other only stresses you out. Look for the changes in your own personality when you spend time with each of these girls. Consider which aspects of yourself you want to feed. If you can't bring yourself to give a definitive "Yes!" to either girl, then perhaps you shouldn't be getting serious with either of them. You don't need to force a serious relationship, of course, but it's important to understand why you're having so much trouble choosing. Maybe neither girl is looking for an exclusive relationship, or maybe one of the girls isn't even interested in you! This doesn't mean that you should "play" the girls at the same time; only that the situation might be simpler or stranger than you think. Try talking to the girls (individually) to better understand what they're looking for. Don't be afraid to think outside the box. There are many ways to make relationships work. The important thing is that everyone's on the same page, and that you aren't hurting anyone's feelings.

Summary: Consider what you're looking for. Analyze your relationship with each girl. Notice how each girl makes you feel about yourself. Be honest with yourself. Look for alternative options.


There are several types of polishes, but cream polishes work best to moisturize and add shine to your boots. Find a leather cream polish in the same color as your boot or a neutral polish that isn’t colored.  Only cowboy boots with a finish should be polished. Don’t polish suede, naked or nude finished leather, patent or microsuede leather. The advantage of using a colored polish is that it can restore color to faded boots. Just like with the conditioner, add a dollop of polish to a clean white cloth and rub it into your boots. Add another thin layer if you want more shine. Follow the directions on the package to either wipe away excess polish or let it set into the boot. Don’t wear the boots until they're dry to the touch.

Summary: Find a cream polish the same color as your boots. Add a thin layer of polish to your boots. Clean off the polish.


If you experience difficulty sleeping, heavy breathing, loud snoring, or heavy drooling, you may have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes your breath to become shallow and thin during sleep.  Some behaviors and conditions can increase your risk of sleep apnea. These include smoking, high blood pressure, and people at high risk for heart failure or stroke. Your doctor can determine if you have sleep apnea by running various sleep monitoring tests and learning about your sleep history. Drooling is also a symptom of a blocked airway. Visit an ear, nose, and throat doctor to find out if a blocked airway is affecting your ability to breathe through your nose while sleeping. If you are overweight, you have a heightened chance of experiencing sleep apnea. More than half of the 12 million people in the U.S. that experience sleep apnea are overweight. Alter your diet and exercise regularly to reach a healthy weight and decrease your neck girth for easier breathing. Sleep apnea is treated a number of different ways in addition to weight loss recommendations. Those diagnosed with sleep apnea should avoid alcohol, sleeping pills, and sleep deprivation. Simple nasal sprays and saline solution rinses can help clear nasal passages as well. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the first treatment that people who are suffering from sleep apnea undergo. CPAP outlines that patients must wear a mask that forces air through the nose and mouth while sleeping. The idea is to have the right amount of air pressure filtering through the air passages to prevent the upper airway tissues from collapsing as you sleep. These devices prevent the tongue from collapsing into the throat airway and can advance the lower jaw to open an airway further. People who have obstructive tissue such as a deviated septum, enlarged tonsils, or an over-sized tongue can be good candidates for various surgical procedures.   Somnoplasty uses radio frequency to constrict the soft palate at the back of the throat and open the airway. 'Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty' (surgical procedure), or UPPP/UP3, can remove soft tissue in the back of the throat surgically to open the airway.  Nasal surgery consists of several procedures that can fix obstructions or deformities like deviated septums.  A tonsillectomy can remove oversized tonsils that are obstructing your airway.  Mandibular/maxillary advancement surgery consists of moving the jawbone forward to create space in the throat. This is a rather intense procedure that is reserved for only the worst cases of sleep apnea.
Summary: Find out if you are experiencing sleep apnea. Find out if you are at risk for a blocked airway. Lose weight. Treat sleep apnea conservatively. Undergo mechanical therapy for sleep apnea. Use a mandibular advancement device. Resort to surgery.
