Q: In the U.S. and many other countries, nutritional supplements aren't regulated by the government like other drugs are. This means you must take care to evaluate the brand of supplements you're taking.  Focus on major brands that have strong reputations in the industry, particularly pharmaceutical companies that manufacture prescription drugs as well as nutritional supplements. Read information and articles about the manufacturer from reputable, unbiased sources. You also can search the internet for any complaints, recalls, or other customer satisfaction incidents that may have occurred. If you are allergic to shellfish but still want to try glucosamine supplements, look for specific manufacturers such as Schiff or Weider Nutrition Group which contain lower levels of shrimp allergens and may be safe for consumption by people who are allergic. Given the lack of regulation of nutritional supplements, rely on someone with education and experience about the brands and types of supplements available to help you choose the right ones.  If your doctor knows of a particular brand that has been used by many patients – particularly patients similar to you – they can recommend that brand based on experience and tell you more about the benefits you're likely to achieve, as well as your potential side effects. Keep in mind that your doctor is likely to recommend a brand-name product that may be more expensive than other supplements that are available. They aren't trying to make you spend more money – they are recommending a brand that typically is more trusted by healthcare professionals. Glucosamine generally is available alone, as glucosamine hydrochloride, or as glucosamine sulfate. Discuss which is best to take with your doctor.  For example, glucosamine hydrochloride is recommended to treat bone disease, while glucosamine sulfate is recommended for high cholesterol. Health care professionals specifically advise against using certain types of glucosamine for specific conditions. For example, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons advises against glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.  If you do decide to take glucosamine sulfate or glucosamine hydrochloride for knee osteoarthritis, it is recommended that you take relatively low doses of 300-500 milligrams three times a day, and only take it for 12 weeks at the most. With higher quality, you are more likely to notice benefits. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t regulate for content, purity, labeling, or claims, so you’re best off if you and your doctor choose a supplement that has been verified by a third party, such as The United States Pharmacopeia (USP).  If you take the supplements for a month or two and notice an improvement in your pain or joint function, ask your doctor about switching to a different brand to see if those benefits continue. Allow two months before you decide glucosamine isn't doing anything for you and discontinue taking the supplements. Take extra caution switching brands if you're allergic to shellfish, or have other medical conditions. You may want to consult your doctor before you move to a cheaper manufacturer.
A: Research manufacturers thoroughly. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for a recommendation. Choose the correct type of glucosamine for your particular condition. Opt for a third-party verified product.

Q: Tumble drying clothing is a great way to remove wrinkles. Put the setting on medium, and dry the clothing for about 15 minutes.  Hang the clothes up right after removing them from the dryer so that wrinkles don't come back. Or wear them right away. If you leave the clothes in the dryer for a long time after the cycle ends or toss them into a clothes basket, the wrinkles will probably return. Put a couple ice cubes into the dryer or mist the clothing with water before drying them. The ice cubes will melt, and turn into steam, which will help remove the wrinkles from the clothing. Or you could put a damp sock into the dryer with the wrinkled clothing. Many people have found this method will remove wrinkles fast. Start the shower, and put the water on hot. Close your bathroom door so the steam can't get out.
A: Put the clothing in a clothes dryer with an ice cube. Try putting the wrinkled clothing in the shower.

Q: Take a shower once a day using soap all over the body. Shampoo should be applied to your hair at least once a week. This shower should be in addition to any showers you take after gym class or any sports you participate in. Even if you don’t believe you will be participating in any strenuous activity, apply deodorant each morning. They make sprays, gels, and solids in a variety of scents! For boys, that means shaving or trimming the face consistently to avoid an unkempt beard. (If you haven't had the need to shave yet, you can skip this step!) For girls, that means shaving or waxing the underarms and legs. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth before you go to bed and in the morning after breakfast (or when you wake up, if you don’t eat breakfast). You should always use a toothpaste that contains fluoride, and don’t forget to floss!
A: Shower daily. Use deodorant every day. Tend to unwanted body hair. Brush your teeth twice a day.

Q: If you don't have any cooking spray, you can also simply rub some butter inside the mug. You are using a larger mug because the eggs will expand while being cooked. Keep beating them until the yolks are all broken and mixed in with the whites. There should be no streaks or swirls. Your eggs likely will not be set all the way. This is fine, because you still need to add some toppings and stir them up a bit. Some of the fillings, such as shredded cheese, can be used fresh, but others, such as sausage or bacon, need to be cooked first.  You can use things like diced bacon, chopped scallions, or shredded cheese. You can make the filling just one ingredient, or play around with different combinations. For more ideas on toppings, click here. How long you microwave the eggs for depends on the strength of your microwave. They are ready when they are puffy and all liquid has been absorbed. You can eat it straight out of the mug, or you can eat it on a plate. To get the omelet out, run a knife around the edges of the omelet in the mug, then dump it out onto a plate.
A:
Spray the inside of a 12 to 16-ounce (350 to 475 milliliters) microwave-safe mug with non-stick cooking spray. Add the eggs, salt, and pepper into the mug and beat them together with a fork. Microwave for 1 minute. Add any fillings, if desired. Give the eggs a quick stir and microwave them for another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the omelet.
