Problem: Article: The single best way to treat any disease is to prevent it. Anyone over six months old should get the flu shot, which specifically targets the influenza virus. This is especially important for anyone at risk of complications from the flu and those who are in contact with those who are especially at risk. This includes those ages 65 or older, young children, women who are pregnant, those with depressed immune systems (such as those undergoing chemotherapy), or those with chronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes. If you are a parent or caretaker for a person with the risk factors just described, or a health care worker, it is important you get the flu shot too to protect these people.   Flu season is October to May, with its peak December to February.. Around this time, flu shots, which are vaccines, are available at most pharmacies. Most insurances cover this cost. Get the vaccine few weeks before the season starts. The vaccine takes a good two weeks to fully kick in, by helping you develop antibodies to the flu so you can fight it off; however, getting it early will help you not contract it during the two weeks you are susceptible to the flu. You can also get the flu shot if you're currently experiencing mild flu-like symptoms. Some people believe that flu symptoms are a contraindication for the flu shot, or a reason you shouldn't get it, but this is a common misconception. The vaccine is only effective for one flu season, so you must get it every year. It also only covers some strains of the flu.  Also worth noting is that flu vaccine manufacturers in partnership with doctors basically have to guess which flu strains will be prominent that year and make the vaccine to include those strains. Some years they are wrong, and the vaccine is not effective because it didn't contain the strains that end up being prevalent that season. Other than the flu shot, you can get the flu vaccine as a nasal spray. This could be easier for some people, but should be avoided by others. You should not take the nasal spray vaccine if:  You are younger than two or older than 49 You have heart disease You have lung disease or asthma You have kidney disease or diabetes You've had previous problems with your immune system You are pregnant You have active respiratory symptoms like running nose, cough, etc. There are some complications that can arise if you receive either vaccine. Before getting either vaccine, talk to your doctor if:  You are allergic to, or have previously had an allergic to, flu shots or eggs in the past. There is a different flu shot for those with an egg allergy. If you have a moderate to severe illness with a fever. You should wait until you recover before getting the vaccine. You have the rare nerve disorder, Guillain-Barré syndrome, in which your immune system attacks your peripheral nervous system. If you have multiple sclerosis. Despite all the good that flu vaccines do, there are some side effects of the flu shot. These can include:  Soreness and swelling at the injection site Headaches Fever Nausea Mild flu like symptoms
Summary: Get a flu shot. Try the nasal spray vaccine. Understand the complications. Be aware of the potential side effects of the vaccine.

Problem: Article: Two types of thickeners using fat and flour are a beurre manié or a roux. Thickening with flour and fat give sauces and gravies a smoother texture than thickening with flour and water, and a beurre manié has a smooth, rich taste.  Mix together 4 tablespoons (32 g) each of all-purpose flour and room temperature, softened butter in a small bowl. Use a fork to mash together the flour and butter until they form a paste. Form this paste into small, tablespoon sized balls for easy use. If you don’t need to use them right away, freeze these balls in an airtight container, and bring them to room temperature before use. The sauce should be almost finished cooking, as you don’t want the beurre manié to cook for too long. Whisk it into your sauce thoroughly, and allow the sauce to simmer for an additional minute or two before taking it off of the heat. This will ensure the taste of your sauce is smooth, without any residual starchy flavor from the flour. A roux is an excellent way to make thick stews, gravy, gumbo, or cheese sauce. Use two tablespoons (16 g) of butter and all-purpose flour. Roux also uses an equal ratio of flour to butter. Cooking the flour in the butter will help remove the pasty taste of the flour.  Heat the butter over medium heat in a saucepan, until it’s melted. Add just a little bit of oil to the pan to keep the butter from burning. Once the butter has melted, gradually add in the flour, whisking constantly until it’s combined and smooth. At this stage, decide how dark you want your roux to be. A darker roux has a darker brown coloring and a nuttier flavor. For a dark roux, continue cooking and stirring constantly until you start to smell a nutty aroma, and your roux is a caramel color. Take your roux off the heat. Gradually whisk your roux into your sauce. Cook the sauce over medium to medium-low heat for 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally with a spoon or whisk, to give it a smooth, velvety texture. Some bubbling is fine, but do not keep the sauce at a boil. Though butter often works best, you can use a combination of other fats and flour to create a similar thickening effect.  For gravies or stews, consider using meat drippings instead of butter. If you want a vegan option, you can use a plant-based oil, like olive oil, or a premade vegan butter in place of butter.
Summary: Make a beurre manié. Add your beurre manié to a sauce. Create a roux. Use an alternative to butter.

Problem: Article: The oil our faces naturally produce is called sebum. It's a beneficial oil that protects our skin and keeps it flexible and healthy. Washing it away too frequently results in your pores producing more oil to make up for what was lost. This overproduction is what leads to the appearance of oily skin. To prevent this from happening:  Wash your face (with oil) just once a day. If you need to remove oil in between washings, use blotting paper instead of washing your face. Moisturize your face after washing it. If your face gets too dry, your pores will produce oil to make up for it. It may take a few days of using this new routine for your face to balance out. Using soaps and facial cleansers in an attempt to get rid of your face's oil will cause your pores to produce extra to make up for it. Wean yourself off of your soap-based facial cleansers, especially those containing harsh cleaning agents like sodium laurel sulfate.  It's better to wash your face with plain water than to use a facial cleanser. Use the oil cleansing method when your face needs a deep cleansing. If you're worried about acne, use tea tree oil and other natural methods instead of resorting to harsh cleansers, which tend to irritate acne more. Choosing your makeup wisely is a big part of oil control. Caking on the makeup isn't going to solve the problem, so use it sparingly. Go for matte foundation and mineral powders to help absorb the oil and keep your face from looking shiny. While more research is needed, some evidence suggests that what you eat can play a role in the development of excess oil and acne. In particular, foods that encourage your body to produce insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) may also cause an increase in sebum.  Foods that increase IGF-1 levels include dairy products, like milk and cheese, and foods with a high glycemic index (GI), like breads, cereals, pastas, refined grains, potatoes, melons, pineapples, pumpkins, and snack foods.  On the other hand, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may help clear your complexion. These include fatty fish, pastured eggs, soy products, spinach, nuts, and wild rice.
Summary:
Wash your face less often. Don't use drying products. Use makeup that won't cause your face to produce more oil. Watch what you eat.
