Answer: Even if you haven't hit any fertility roadblocks, a basic pre-conception physical is a good idea.  Some pre-existing health conditions can be aggravated or significantly worsened by pregnancy. Your doctor will probably conduct a pelvic exam and order some basic blood tests.  Some disorders you'll want to catch before pregnancy include:  Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which can interfere with ovulation. Endometriosis, which can generally inhibit fertility. Diabetes: If you can catch and manage diabetes before conceiving, you'll be able to avoid birth defects commonly associated with the disease. Thyroid disease:  Like diabetes, thyroid disease is relatively non-threatening to your pregnancy as long as it's diagnosed and well-managed. Studies demonstrate that clinically obese women have a harder time conceiving and they may also have more problems during pregnancy. However, being underweight can also negatively affect your ability to become pregnant. Talk to your doctor about what would be a healthy weight for you and work on losing or gaining weight before you try to become pregnant. Women who are clinically underweight (with a BMI under 18.5) might stop menstruating altogether, which can make it even harder to conceive. Starting before you get pregnant will build up the necessary nutrients in your system for a developing embryo.  For example, taking folic acid supplements before trying to conceive may reduce the risk of spina bifida and other neural tube defects. Choose a prenatal vitamin or ask your doctor to prescribe one. Taking folic acid supplements has also been shown to have a positive impact on fertility, so start taking folic acid supplement daily before you plan to become pregnant. A healthy diet can help to boost your fertility and improve your chances of conception. Eat a diet that includes lean proteins, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Some good choices include:  Lean proteins: skinless chicken breast, lean ground beef, tofu, and beans Whole grains: brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, and oatmeal Fruits: apples, oranges, grapes, blueberries, strawberries, and melon Vegetables: broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, cabbage, and kale Men should take a multi-vitamin that contains vitamin E and vitamin C, eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and avoid excessive alcohol, caffeine, fat, and sugar intake. Men should also make sure they get plenty of selenium (55mcg per day), as selenium is suspected to increase fertility particularly in men. .  Not only is lighting up while you're pregnant a bad idea, it can hinder your chances of conceiving in the first place.  Giving up an addiction while you're pregnant can be extra stressful, so save yourself some suffering by quitting beforehand. Keep in mind that second-hand smoke can also affect your odds of conceiving. Avoid spending time around smokers to reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke. Even having 1 drink per day can decrease your fertility. To ensure that you have the best possible chance of conceiving, do not drink alcohol at all. If you do have a drink in moderation while you are trying to conceive, make sure that you do not exceed one drink. Having more than two drinks significantly decreases a woman’s fertility. Your partner should also limit their alcohol intake since alcohol can decrease sperm counts and it may also affect the quality of the sperm. This includes caffeine from food, such as chocolate, and drinks, such as coffee, tea, and cola. Women who drink more than 3 cups of a caffeinated beverage daily are significantly less likely to get pregnant compared to women who consume 2 cups or less.  1 cup (240 mL) of coffee has about 100mg of caffeine, so do not drink more than 2 cups (580 mL) of coffee daily. Tea and cola have less caffeine, but this can still add up if you drink too much. Limit yourself to no more than 2 caffeinated beverages daily to ensure that you are not exceeding your daily limit. Once your body is prepared for conception, stop using your birth control. If you are taking hormonal birth control it may take 2 to 3 months before you start ovulating normally again and you are able to become pregnant. However, if you are only using a barrier method of birth control, then you may become pregnant right away. If you have an intra-uterine device (IUD), then you will need to see your gynecologist to have it removed before you can get pregnant again. If it's a struggle for either you or your partner to get interested in sex, you might find it difficult to conceive.  A qualified reproductive medicine professional or sex therapist can help you overcome these issues as a couple. Try not to let infertility to strain your relationship.  The pressure to conceive, as well as invasive and emotionally stressful fertility treatments, can actually lead to sexual dysfunction and make getting pregnant even harder.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Move equipment away from locations that attract insects or rodents. Place the equipment nearby running water. Arrange the regular removal of food waste, peelings and scraps. Maintain an uncluttered environment at all times.

Answer: If you have had infestation problems in the past, make sure the equipment is far away from the source and clear of waste that may attract other insects. This can help to drain wastes away from the area and avoid contamination. Set a schedule to dump the debris whether or not the removal container is full. Keep all areas that are not in use free of dishes, waste and personal belongings. The walls, floors, ceiling and appliances should be free of clutter for easy cleaning.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Prepare the salt. Have the basil leaves ready to add. Layer the basil leaves into the crock. Fill to within 5cm or 2 inches from the top. Store. To use, simply remove the leaves needed and restore any removed salt layer.

Answer: Sprinkle 1cm or half an inch of salt into the base of a clean and dry crock, jar or ceramic storage container with lid. Make sure they're clean and dry. Sprinkle a light layer of salt over each layer of basil leaves. Continue this way until all the leaves have been added. About every 10 or so layers, press down gently to slightly firm but not crush the layers of leaves. Press firmly but gently. Finish by pouring in a lot more salt to compact everything down. Shake and jolt the crock a bit to help ease the salt into all the cracks and crevices between the layers. Place the crock in a cool and dry spot. The pantry is often ideal, or a cellar. Leave as long as you like. Shake the salt off the leaves then cook with them as usual.
