Answer: Macular degeneration is a common age-related condition. As you get older, the risk of developing AMD increases. At least one-third of adults over the age of 75 have some level of AMD. If one or both of your parents developed macular degeneration, then chances are you might develop the same condition when you hit the 60-year-old mark. However, remember that genes aren't everything and how you take care of yourself matters, too. In general, women and Caucasians are more at risk of developing macular degeneration. Smokers are at high risk of developing this eye condition. There have been several studies that have linked smoking to the deterioration of the macula. Cigarette smoke is linked with damage to the retina. If you're a smoker (especially if you're female or Caucasian), macular degeneration is something you need to be conscious of, even if the symptoms aren't present. Knowing your overall health can be a major factor for developing AMD. Those afflicted with conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes are at risk.  Even non-diabetics whose diet is comprised of carbohydrates high on the glycemic index tend to develop macular degeneration later on in life. Remember that one sign of wet macular degeneration is leaking of blood from the retinal vessels. This will worsen when you have clogged arteries due to plaque deposits. How frequently are you exposed to fluorescent lighting? There is concern that the UV radiation from fluorescent lighting may increase your risk of eye disease. In addition, if you live in an area in which your eyes are often exposed to sunlight, this may also increase your risk.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat by themselves. Serve with other fruits of the grill. Decorate entrees and appetizers. Turn it into a salad. Make a salsa. Puree the tomatoes

Answer: These are plenty delicious as their own dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan or Asiago right away, so it melts over the tomatoes. Top with sprigs of fresh basil, Italian parsley, or pine nuts toasted for five minutes in a dry pan. Tomatoes are close comrades with steak, mushrooms, chicken, and other grilled vegetables. Lay out a platter, or skewer onto kabobs. Grilled tomatoes turn even simple dishes into smoky, caramelized love. They make a perfect crostini topping, or you could try them on Italian pasta salad or mushroom risotto. Chop grilled tomatoes coarsely. Complement the caramelized sugars with salty ingredients, such as capers and feta. Mix with grilled asparagus and red onion, or add a fresh taste with arugula and snap peas. Roast jalapeño peppers with the tomatoes, then remove the stem and seeds. Coarsely chop peppers and tomatoes alongside garlic, cilantro, and white onion. Toss in apple cider vinegar, a sprinkle of salt, and a pinch of cumin. . Squeeze off the skins and puree. Store this simple paste and use it as a base for sauces, salsas, and soups.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Drink lots of water. Urinate as soon as you feel the urge. Take special care after sexual activity. Wear loose clothing on the lower half of your body. Maintain a high-fiber diet.

Answer:
Keeping hydrated is the easiest way to prevent a UTI, and it's also important for your overall health. Drink at least 6 to 8 8  fl oz (240 mL) glasses of water every day to help “flush out” your system and prevent UTIs. The longer urine is in your bladder, the more bacteria can grow. Women should always wipe with toilet paper from front to back, especially after a bowel movement. This prevents bacterial contamination from feces. Women, especially, should always urinate after sex to stop bacteria from moving into the urethra. Birth control methods that use spermicide increase the risk of UTIs. However, using non-oral contraceptives without spermicide increases the risk of unwanted pregnancy. A good compromise is to switch to oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices or contraceptive rings, if possible. The goal is to keep your genital area as dry as possible. Loose, preferably cotton, pants and underwear let air pass better than nylon underwear or tight jeans. No conclusive research exists yet on the connection between high-fiber diets and UTIs. However, high-fiber diets will decrease the chances of constipation, which is a common cause of UTIs. Many people prevent UTIs by eating diets full of beans, lentils, whole grains, and root vegetables.
