INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You have probably heard the famous saying that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” and it’s true! That is because when you wake up, you likely haven’t eaten for 8 to 10 hours. Your blood sugar is low, and so are your energy levels. You need to “break” the “fast” within one hour of waking up. A healthy breakfast will jump start your metabolism and your day, but waiting too long to eat can actually slow you down. Typical breakfast choices (such as a bagel with cream cheese or toast with jam) can give you some quick energy, but they will spike your blood sugar and leave you to crash. This can lead to insulin resistance, plus it will leave you feeling hungry again soon. Stay away from white bread and sweets in the morning.  You'll want to stay away from donuts, waffles, pancakes, and white toast. Opt for 100% whole wheat toast instead. Watch out for added sugar in oatmeal or breakfast cereals. Refrain from adding sugar (or sweetened creamer) to your coffee. To really get your metabolism started in the morning, you must also include a serving of healthy fats. This can be as simple as adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to your brown rice porridge, cooking your omelet in clarified butter, or enjoying a spoonful of peanut butter. Add some healthy fat to your meal to rev your metabolism and feel full. However, keep in mind that there may already be fat in your breakfast from things like yogurt, milk, and breakfast sausage. Not only does breakfast help jump start your metabolism and help give you energy all day, but the heartier your breakfast is, the better! A recent study shows that getting 22 to 55% of your total calories at breakfast may help you stay slim, whereas getting 0 to 11% of your calories from breakfast may lead to weight gain. So fill up your plate and get full at breakfast.

SUMMARY: Eat breakfast within one hour of waking. Avoid simple carbohydrates. Eat healthy fats. Fill up your plate.

One of the worst things you can do when dealing with people who are less intelligent than you is to let them know that you think they are stupid. This will only make them angry, which means they will not be listening to you. If you want to communicate effectively with people, never tell them you think they are stupid (or insult them in any other way). If you get frustrated with someone who just doesn't seem to understand something, try asking them what you can do to help them understand, instead of insulting them for their lack of abilities. For example, you could say, "I see you're struggling to understand this math problem. How can I help?" Everyone is good at something, so try to hone in on other people's talents. A person may be less intelligent than you, but have better people skills or be a faster typist. Recognizing that all of these skills are important and valuable will help you appreciate others more. Encourage the person by pointing out their strengths and complimenting them, even if they are struggling with other things. For example, you could say, "I know you're having a hard time getting used to the computer system, but you did a great job interacting with the customers today." No matter what you think of other people, you should always treat them as you would want to be treated. Being kind and respectful, regardless of how you feel about someone, will make it much easier to get along.  If you're having trouble being empathetic, take a moment to try to see the world through the other person's eyes. This may help you recognize their unique talents and appreciate how hard it is to deal with people who are more intelligent. Don't start arguments, even if you truly believe the other person is wrong. This will most likely be futile and will just frustrate you. If you feel the need to express your point of view, consider saying something like, "I think ________, but your idea is interesting too," instead of, "You're wrong. The right way to do this is ________." Sometimes it's best not to say anything about another person's lack of intelligence, even if you are forced to work with them. Be sure to carefully consider whether reporting the situation will benefit you in any way.  If you work with the person, be sure to think about how your boss might react to your comments before you report them. If you determine that any negative reaction is worth the risk, be sure to approach the situation by talking about specific facts, rather than your own opinions of the person. If you go to the school with the person and have to work with him on a project, treat the conversation with your teacher the same way you would if you were an employee talking to your boss — stick to the facts. You could say something like, "I noticed that X is having a lot of trouble operating the computer system, and it's really slowing down the team. The team completes 15 tasks on average while X completes only six or seven. I think they could benefit from more training, or possibly being assigned to a different task."

One-sentence summary -- Don't call the person out. Look for their strengths. Be empathetic. Think carefully before reporting them at a workplace.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wash several mint leaves under running water.  Slice the mint into narrow ribbons to allow the flavor to steep better and to make for smaller pieces in the drink.  Mint is available in most supermarkets and is also hardy enough to be grown in many gardens. Adding mint to the cucumber water will make it sweeter without adding sugar. Lemons, limes and oranges all add strong flavor to water without adding calories.  If serving immediately, slice the fruit in half and squeeze the juice into the prepared cucumber water.  Slices of fruit may be left with the cucumbers to steep for a longer period.  Remember to wash the fruit, particularly if you are allowing slices to steep. Be aware that the fruit may contain seeds which could fall into the drink. Citrus is also an important source of Vitamin C which is necessary to strengthen bones and muscles. Remove the cap of the strawberry with a paring knife and wash the berries to remove dirt or other impurities.  Slice strawberries lengthwise and allow them to steep with the cucumbers.  Strawberries are an important source of potassium which can help lower blood pressure.    Strawberries will be most flavorful when they are in season.  Look for dark red berries that still have their caps. Pineapple chunks will add a tangy acidic flavor to your cucumber water.  Slice fresh or canned pineapple into chunks and keep them in the freezer for a quick additive. Add ½ cup of frozen pineapple to a pitcher of cucumber water Fill half the pitcher with seltzer water for the initial steep and add the remaining chilled water just prior to serving for maximum flavor and bubbles.  Club soda or other carbonated waters can give the sensation of drinking soda without adding the calories or sugar of commercially available drinks. If calories are a consideration, remember to check the label of the sparkling water to be sure you aren’t accidentally adding more than just bubbles. Remember that sparkling water will go flat over time, so it is better to chill it before opening it rather than after.

SUMMARY:
Include mint in the water. Infuse the water with citrus. Include sliced strawberries. Add frozen pineapple. Use sparkling water in place of still water. Finished.
