INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Though you are studying last minute and may be trying to cram as much information in your brain as you can, you should still try to take short study breaks. During your study breaks, you should do some exercise to keep your energy levels up and to improve your concentration. Even doing 5-10 minutes of exercise during your study break can help you stay fit and mentally prepared for more studying in the future. For example, you may do a quick jog around the block during your study break or go for a quick walk around campus. You may also do push ups or sit ups during your study break to stay motivated and alert. You should try to only drink water while you are studying, as this will ensure you stay hydrated and healthy. If you do drink coffee, you should only drink a small amount during the day and make sure you are drinking enough water to compensate for the caffeine. You should also try to have healthy, energizing snacks while you study so you can stay focused and not become too wired or too lethargic. Go for healthy sources of sugar, like fruit, as well as healthy sources of protein, like nuts, to help you stay focused. Avoid eating and drinking items high in processed sugar and fat, as these products will only make you more tired and distracted. Go for healthier options so your body has the energy it needs to stay focused and study. To study effectively at the last minute, you should create a distraction free zone in your room or general area. This may mean keeping your door closed so everyone in your home knows you are trying to focus on studying and can leave you alone. You may also keep the doors and windows closed to block out any distracting noises around you.  If you are studying in a public place, like the library, you may use noise cancelling headphones to stay focused. You may also turn off your cellphone or put it on mute so it is not a distraction to you. You may also find it helpful to turn off your wi-fi connection to avoid going on social media and getting distracted. Doing this can help you focus and not get sucked into using your time on social media instead of on your study notes.

SUMMARY: Exercise on your study breaks. Drink water. Have healthy snacks. Block out any distractions.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you're using a gas grill, turn the burners to high. If you're using a charcoal grill, fill a chimney with briquettes and light them. Dump the briquettes onto the grill once they're hot and lightly covered with ash. If you'd like your salmon to have a smoked flavor, add a handful of soaked woodchips to the grill. Take a paper towel and pat each side of the salmon with it to remove moisture. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil into a small dish and dip a pastry brush into it. Brush each side of the salmon with the oil.  If you don't have olive oil, use vegetable, canola, or coconut oil, since these can withstand the high heat of the grill. The oil will prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill grate. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of a salmon fillet. You can transfer the fish to a serving platter once the fish reaches 145 °F (63 °C) and let it rest a few minutes while you get side dishes ready. Store leftover grilled salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.

SUMMARY: Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Pat the salmon dry and brush it with olive oil. Remove the salmon once it reaches 145 °F (63 °C) and rest it for 3 minutes.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's the series of curving lines in the far-right side of the task bar.  You may first have to click the ^ to the left of the volume or battery icon to see the Wi-Fi option. On Windows 7, the Wi-Fi icon looks like a series of increasingly tall bars. If you set up the router with a specific name, it should appear here. If you didn't set up a specific name, you should see the router's brand (e.g., "Linksys") and model number. It's in the bottom-right side of the Wi-Fi network's name area. You'll do this in the text box below the "Enter the network's security key" heading. If you didn't add a password to your network when setting up the router, the password (called a "Security Key") is on the back or bottom of the router unit. As long as the password is correct, your Windows computer will be reconnected to the wireless network.

SUMMARY: Click . Click your router's network name. Click Connect. Enter the network's password. Click Next.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Although your body requires sodium in small amounts, consuming too much sodium is bad for you and can lead to hypertension, heart disease and stroke. If you suffer from high blood pressure, take steps to reduce your sodium intake:  Do not add salt to foods when cooking but use other spices instead (cumin, lemon pepper, fresh herbs). Rinse canned foods to remove sodium. Buy foods that are labeled “low sodium” or “sodium free.” Avoid processed foods, such as crackers, fried items, and baked goods, that often are high in sodium. Also avoid eating fast food and ask for reduced sodium when ordering in restaurants. A high fiber diet may help reduce your risk of hypertension. Fortunately, it’s easy to get fiber from the healthy foods you’re likely already eating. Incorporate more whole grains, fresh veggies, and fruit with the skin on it into your diet. This will help you consume at least 25 grams of fiber each day.  Make sure you get at least six to eight servings of whole grains every day. Switch refined grains to whole grains, such as brown rice and whole wheat pasta and bread. Potassium-rich foods should be a part of your hypertension management diet. Foods you should add include sweet potatoes, tomatoes, kidney beans, orange juice, bananas, peas, potatoes, dried fruits, melon and cantaloupe. Keep your target potassium levels moderate (around 2,000 to 4,000 mg a day). Dark chocolate may help lower blood pressure, though it might not work the same for everyone. Eat dark chocolate whenever you’re craving a treat. Choose a bar that has at least 70% cocoa.  Eat a half an ounce of dark chocolate that has at least 70% of cocoa per day.  Because dark chocolate is high in calories, be sure not to overindulge. Besides being bad for blood pressure, caffeine and alcohol also have other negative health effects to you and your baby during pregnancy. Thus, you should avoid both, especially if you suffer from high blood pressure.  Drinking caffeine during pregnancy has been linked to declined placental blood flow and a risk of miscarriage. Although more studies are needed to confirm the effects of caffeine, it is best to switch to decaf during your pregnancy.  High alcohol consumption is known to raise blood pressure and it is also known to have negative effects on your unborn baby. Before drinking any alcohol, even just one glass of wine, consult your doctor. A clinical study demonstrated that systolic blood pressure can be lowered by adding these foods to your diet.  Add low-fat or fat-free dairy products (such as milk, cottage cheese, yogurt) to your diet. If you are lactose intolerant, try a milk alternative, such as almond, coconut, or hemp milk.  You can also try soy milk, but you may want to limit soy products during pregnancy since it may increase estrogen levels in your fetus.  Go easy on the amount of cheese you eat (even low-fat) due to their high sodium content.

SUMMARY:
Avoid salt and high-sodium foods, which increase your risk. Consume more whole grains and fresh produce to get fiber. Eat potassium-rich foods to help lower your blood pressure. Indulge with dark chocolate. Avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks. Add soy and low-fat milk products to help lower your blood pressure.
