INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you’re having an irregular period or a difficult time getting pregnant, visit your regular doctor or your OB/GYN. There are many reasons this can occur, so have a physical examination to rule out other causes than thin uterine lining. If a thin endometrium is your problem, your doctor will be the best person to help you decide on treatment. It’s important to determine the cause of your thin endometrium to best treat the condition. The first step to increase uterine lining is usually to manipulate your hormones using estrogen therapy. Your doctor may prescribe you a method of birth control that contains estrogen, or give you estrogen in the form of a pill, patch, gel, cream, or spray. Taking estrogen can increase your risk for blood clots, heart disease, and some cancers. Discuss your health history and family history with your doctor. Your uterine lining needs good blood flow to grow, so restricted arteries can cause a thin endometrium. Talk to your doctor about whether you can take a medication that expands your blood vessels, called a vasodilator, to improve blood flow to your uterus. People with certain medical conditions should not take vasodilators, and these medications can cause side effects like fast heartbeat, fluid retention, headache, chest pain, and nausea. Discuss your health history with your doctor before starting any medication. Taking vitamin E may improve blood flow to the uterine lining and improve endometrial thickness. Eat foods rich in vitamin E, and talk to your doctor about taking a vitamin E supplement – sometimes called tocopherol. The recommended daily intake of vitamin E is 15mg for women; ask your doctor about higher doses to increase uterine lining –  600mg  were given to women in studies. Foods high in vitamin E include:  Almonds, pine nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, and peanut butter Raw seeds like pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame Swiss chard, kale, and spinach Mustard greens, turnip greens, and parsley Avocado, broccoli, tomato, and olives Mango, papaya, and kiwi Wheat germ oil, safflower oil, and corn oil Iron deficiency can cause a thin uterine lining. Ask your doctor to do a blood test to check your iron levels. If your levels are low, you may need to eat more iron-rich foods or take a supplement.   Meat and fish are the best sources of iron. Vegans and vegetarians are at higher risk of iron deficiency. Make sure to eat iron-rich grains and vegetables, such as quinoa, lentils, spinach, and tofu. There is good scientific evidence that taking an l-arginine supplement helps people with heart trouble and leg pain due to clogged arteries. Because of its ability to expand arteries and improve blood flow, taking l-arginine may help to increase uterine lining. You can get these supplements at your pharmacy or health food store. There is no set dosing limit for l-arginine, but it can be taken anywhere in the range of 0.5-15mg for different ailments. Studies have used 6 g/day to treat thin uterine lining. Talk to your doctor about dosing and whether this supplement is right for you.

SUMMARY: Visit your doctor. Try estrogen therapy. Take a vasodilator medication. Increase your Vitamin E. Check the levels of iron in your blood. Take an l-arginine supplement.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In Daniel, Book 10, the Prophet went on a second, 3-week fast. To quote the Bible, Daniel "ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine." The second fast is basically the same as the first fast, but the text specifically names three things to avoid:  Wine All sweeteners (including honey) All leavened bread. If you feel more energetic and healthier, it is likely that you will want to keep up healthier eating habits. While reintroducing many of the items you've not had during the fast is inevitable, you may want to do so with greater consciousness for quality and portion size. And some things, like fried food and sugar are best kept to a new minimum.

SUMMARY: Move to stage two. Assess how you feel after the two stages.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can figure this out by picking lots, rolling a pair of dice, guessing numbers, or simply by age. For example, the youngest person could hold the ball first.  Don't get too worked up over who gets to go first. Sometimes, it's actually better to go last, because then you'll have a chance to get to the really good gifts! Make the game more challenging by having the players wear gloves or mittens. The ball holder could also wear a blindfold. You really need a set of dice for this game because the entire goal is to roll a set of 2 matching numbers in order to pass the ball. If you can't get a pair of dice, then use just 1 die and pick a number to be the passing number.  For example, if you have just 1 die, then you could settle on 6 for being the passing number. Don't blindfold the dice roller! They need to see what they are rolling, after all! This needs to happen at the same time. The goal for the ball holder is to unroll as many layers on the ball as possible until the person with the dice rolls a set of matching numbers.  For example, the person with the dice can roll a set of 1s, or a set of 2, or a set of 3s, and so forth. If you're using just 1 die, then keep rolling it until you hit the passing number you settled on. This game will probably have several rounds, so consider giving the ball holder a basket or a goodie bag to store all of their items in. If you used multiple sheets of plastic wrap per item layer, have the ball holder crumple them up and set them aside. The person who just finished rolling the dice should now have the ball, while the person to their right should now have the dice. If you used 1 continuous sheet of plastic wrap for the ball, you might want to cut or tear it off at some point. This way, it won't get in the way. You get to keep whatever gifts you unwrapped. The faster you unwrap, the more gifts you'll get!

SUMMARY: Gather in a circle and decide who gets to hold the ball first. Give a pair of dice to the right of the ball holder. Have the person unwrap the ball while the person tries to roll doubles. Allow the ball holder to gather their unwrapped items. Pass the ball and the dice to the right. Repeat the process until you reach the middle of the ball.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your left foot should be flat on the ground while you should only touch the ground with the toes of your right foot. Slide and bring up your right foot. Lift it about half a foot (15 cm) in the air, with your knee lifted up a bit. The position of your left foot should remain the same. Drag your left foot back about the distance of its own length while your right foot remains lifted in the air. Plant your right foot on the ground while lifting your left foot back to its toes. This will make it easier to lift your left foot in the next step. Now just repeat the same motion with alternate legs. Slide and bring your left foot up. Lift it about half a foot (.3 meters) in the air, with your knee lifted up a bit. Your right foot should remain in the same position. Drag your right foot back about the distance of its own length while your left foot remains lifted in the air. Plant your left foot on the ground while lifting your right foot back to its toes. This will make it easier to lift your right foot in the next step. Keep sliding one foot up while moving the other back until you've mastered the incredible "Running Man" dance move.
