Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Talk to your doctor before taking any dietary supplement. Take 100 to 250 mg of nicotinamide riboside (NR) per day. Try taking pterostilbene or resveratrol supplements. Start taking vitamin D supplements.

Answer: Your body converts vitamin B3 into NAD, so supplements intended to boost NAD levels usually contain B-group vitamins. However, too much vitamin B can damage your liver and cause other harmful effects. Furthermore, dietary supplements can negatively interact with some medications, so you need to discuss your diet and any medications you take with your doctor before starting one.  Ask your doctor, "Should I be concerned about getting enough nutrients from my diet? Would a dietary supplement negatively interact with any of my medications? Do you recommend I make any changes to my diet?" A negative drug interaction can cause harmful side effects or make your medication ineffective. NR is a type of vitamin B3 and is gaining credibility in the scientific community as an effective way to increase NAD levels. You can find over-the-counter NR supplements online, at pharmacies, and at health stores. Try taking 100 to 250 mg with a glass of water before your first meal of the day. While 100 to 250 mg is a recommended dose, it’s best to ask your doctor about proper dosing. Some NR supplements also contain pterostilbene or resveratrol, which might enhance your body’s ability to use NAD. They’re also available as supplements on their own. Be sure to discuss proper dosages with your doctor and ask them if taking a dietary supplement is right for you. Vitamin D is important for a variety of bodily functions, and it might boost NAD levels. While you can get vitamin D from milk, fortified cereals, and direct sunlight, you could also ask your doctor about taking a daily supplement to reach your daily recommended amount of Vitamin D. While the daily recommended amount of Vitamin D for adults is 800 IU, you could need more or less depending on your age, diet, and daily exposure to sunlight. Keep it mind it’s better to get B-group vitamins, vitamin D, and other essential nutrients from healthy foods instead of dietary supplements.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use a VoIP service to call using your computer. Use email or instant messaging for a quick and easy way to get in touch.

Answer: VoIP, which stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, works much the same way as a telephone, but it uses an internet connection instead of a phone line or cell service. To use a VoIP, you'll have to download the program offered by the service you choose, and the other party may need to install the same program. You'll also need a microphone and a speaker or headset, and some VoIP services require you to use a special phone that plugs into your computer.  The main advantage of VoIP is that you can make calls for free or for a low monthly fee. However, the call quality may not be as high as calling from a traditional phone. Also, there may be an additional charge if you use the service to call a cell phone or land line. Popular VoIP services include Vonage, Google Voice, and Skype. Depending on where you live, it can sometimes be hard to get in touch with someone in Saudi Arabia, due to the differences in time zones and their Sunday-Thursday work week. If you're having trouble finding the time to meet up for a phone call, try sending them a message or an e-mail instead. That way, they'll be able to respond at their leisure.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ask for feedback. Take productive breaks. Know when to back off from pressure. Treat everyone with respect.

Answer: If you're a coach or manager, asking for feedback from your teammates can help them feel like they have a say in how things are run and the team as a whole. Let them know that their opinions are important and matter. Say that you're willing to talk or read comments that they have. Have a comment box so that people can remain anonymous in their feedback if they choose. If your team is constantly pushing and working hard, take some breaks when necessary. This might be a 10-15 minute break or a day off depending on what your team needs. If teammates appear burned out or less productive, allow them a break to help them re-energize and come back stronger. Athletes often need time to rest and repair their muscles, especially when they train hard. Being an effective manager or coach often means pushing your team beyond what they think they can do. However, there comes a point when the pressure becomes excessive and takes a toll. If you're a coach or manager, recognize when your team is under too much stress and back off. They may become less engaged or enthusiastic or their performance may suffer. Read their cues or listen to feedback and back off a bit.  For example, if your team is less engaged after you tell them to increase productivity, try a different motivational approach. Do team stress-relieving activities on occasion. For example, if everyone has been working hard on fixing the bugs in a new video game you're developing, give them a few hours to play their old favorite games as a way to relieve tension and clear their minds. Interact with each team member and the group as a whole with respect. It's difficult to have high morale when people feel like they aren't being treated fairly, kindly, or as if they matter. Make a point to interact respectfully at all times with your team.  For example, even if there's conflict, avoid raising your voice or making unfounded accusations. Don't gossip about your teammates or spread rumors, which can lead to hurt feelings.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Contact a contractor for an estimate if you want help from a professional. Consider doing the renovations yourself if you want to save money. Set a reasonable budget for your renovations. Sketch out a floor plan for your ideal bedroom. Consider removing a wall to combine rooms and expand your space. Refinish or replace the floors for a relatively inexpensive update. Pick a set or multiple pieces of furniture that fit your desired style.

Answer:
For remodels that include an addition to the room, removing walls, or other structural changes to the home, it’s best to set up an appointment with a professional contractor in your area. Normally, the contractor will come to your home, talk about the remodel with you, and survey the room to see what they’re working with. Then, they’ll give you an estimate for the cost of work and materials.  When talking to a contractor, be as specific as possible about what you’d like the room to look like. If you have inspiration pictures, show them. Keep in mind that while using a contractor is more expensive, they can save you time and ensure that the work is done properly. For some big renovations, like refinishing floors, removing trim, or even taking out small, non-load-bearing walls, it’s possible to do the project by yourself. Before you take on any project, make sure you have the proper tools and understand the risks.  Do-it-yourself renovations can be a very stressful learning experience, and your project might not turn out exactly as you planned. If you start doing a project and find that you’re in over your head, don’t be afraid to contact a professional for help or advice. For an average remodel, plan to spend about $110 per 1 foot (0.30 m) squared. If you’re going to be re-doing a closet or expanding the room, be sure to include that area in your calculations.  If you’re doing a remodel that requires a lot of demolition, or you plan to add new flooring, add an additional $15-$30 per 1 foot (0.30 m) squared. The price will depend on what kind of flooring you’re using or how you’re doing the demolition. Keep in mind that doing demolition and renovations yourself will save you money. Then, you can hire a professional to do the parts of the renovation that you cannot do on your own. Once you’ve decided on the style and know how much space you’ll have, make a general drawing of the room that you can refer back to throughout the renovations. Include the places where you’d like to put furniture, mark any doors, and note where there are windows. Your sketch doesn’t have to be detailed or even to scale. You should just have a general idea of where you’d like to put everything. If there’s a smaller room adjacent to your bedroom that you rarely use, you might want to take out the wall to incorporate the space from that room into the bedroom. Make sure the wall isn’t load-bearing, and double check that removing it will provide the amount of space that you’re looking for.  This is also a great method for adding a larger closet or ensuite bathroom to your bedroom. Keep in mind that removing a bedroom or bathroom can negatively affect the value of your home. Before committing to combining 2 bedrooms, talk to an appraiser to see how the value of your home could change. If you don’t want to remove a wall, then you could add a door between 2 adjacent rooms, such as a sliding barn door or pocket door. This will keep the rooms separate while providing more space. If you already have hardwood floors or have hardwood under carpeting, consider making it a focal point to your room. Changing from carpet to wood can change the entire feel of the room. Making the switch from carpet to hardwood normally has a high return on investment, but it’s important to do each step correctly to ensure that the flooring will last a long time.  If you currently have older carpeting in your room, you might consider replacing it with new carpeting for a fresh look. Try to pick a neutral color that will match your desired theme. Compared to expanding the room or purchasing new furniture, replacing the floors can be pretty cheap and give the room a whole new look. If replacing the floors is not an option, then purchase a large area rug to cover them. Once the room is remodeled, you can add furniture to the bedroom. For totally new furniture, plan to purchase a bed frame, mattress, nightstand, and a dresser. You can purchase these in a matching set, or find a mix of pieces from different stores.  If you don’t have a lot of closet space, you might consider getting an extra dresser or an armoire to hold your clothes. For mismatched furniture, search at places like antique stores and flea markets for unique pieces.
