Problem: Article: If you smoke, then the number one thing you can do to prevent CAD or CHD is to quit. Smoking puts added stress on the heart, increases blood pressure, and leads to other cardiovascular complications. Those who smoke a pack a day are at twice the risk of a heart attack as non-smokers. About 20% of all heart disease-related deaths in the U.S. stem from smoking. In fact, you can check your blood pressure once a day from the comfort of your home. Talk to your doctor about the device that he or she thinks would be best for you. Most of the at-home blood pressure devices involve you putting the device on your wrist, holding your wrist out in front of you at heart level, and then checking your blood pressure reading. Ask your doctor what your normal, resting blood pressure is. This will give you a standard to compare your daily readings to. Because coronary heart disease is a cardiovascular (aka heart) issue, you should do cardiovascular exercises to strengthen your heart. Cardio exercises include running, walking briskly, swimming, biking, or any other exercise that elevates your heartbeat. You should try to exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Speak with your doctor before beginning any exercise regiment to make sure it's appropriate for your health and fitness levels. She can usually even recommend options that are tailored to your specific needs. The healthy diet should consist of heart-healthy foods that also keep your weight and cholesterol at a healthy level. A balanced diet should consist of:  High quantities of fruits and vegetables containing balanced daily intakes of vitamins and minerals Lean proteins such as fish and skinless chicken Whole grain products, including wheat bread, brown rice, and quinoa. Low-fat dairy products such as yogurt. Less than 3 grams of salt a day to reduce your chances of developing high blood pressure In particular, you should get fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3 reduces the risk of inflammation in the body, which in turn reduces your chances of getting inflamed blood vessels that can lead to heart disease. Fish that contain omega-3 fatty acids include: Salmon, tuna, mackerel, trout, and herring If you are concerned about your heart’s health, you should stay away from foods with high amounts of saturated fats or trans fats. These raise your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol levels and can clog your arteries and lead to heart diseases.  Sources of saturated fat include red meats, ice cream, butter, cheese, sour cream, and products made with lard. Deep-fried products are usually loaded with saturated fats. Trans fats are usually found in fried and processed foods. Shortening that is made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil is another common source of trans fats.  Consume fats from fish and olives. These fats are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help lower your risk of heart attack and heart disease. You should also avoid eating more than an egg a day, especially if you have difficulty controlling your cholesterol levels. Although eggs are usually healthy in moderation, eating too many of them may increase your risk of heart failure or heart disease. When you do eat eggs, don't load them down with fats such as cheese or butter.
Summary: Quit smoking. Get your blood pressure checked regularly. Exercise regularly. Maintain a healthy diet. Eat fish at least twice a week. Avoid excessively fatty foods.

Problem: Article: When you're trying to get a man in the mood after initial introductions, try playing a game together. Go to a tennis court and play a round. Play a card or board game. Try competitive video games. Competition can spike testosterone levels in both men and women, leading to higher sexual arousal. Pomegranate juice has been shown to boost men's sex drives in a few studies. If you're interested in seducing a man, try offering him a cocktail using pomegranate juice. If he doesn't drink, offer him plain pomegranate juice as a beverage. If you're trying to set a romantic or sexual scene, consider a new hairstyle. Men might not notice right away that you've changed your hair, but they will notice you're looking more put together. This can be attractive.  Much like planning an outfit, pick something you feel good about rather than catering explicitly to a man's interests. While a guy might say he prefers long, layered hair, if you feel sexiest with a short bob that will be conveyed in how you act with your new style.  Talk to a hair stylist about what style and color would be most flattering for you. Talk to one another about sexual fantasies. These do not have to be fantasies you intend to engage in, but just sharing secret desires can enhance both of your sex drives.  Talk about scenes from movies or television shows you found arousing. You can even try watching some of these films together to get you both in the mood. A fun game to play can be "Never Have I Ever," but a sexy version. In this game, you both take turns say something sexual you've never done but have always been curious about. This can be a fun predecessor to physical contact.
Summary: Try playing a game together. Use pomegranate. Get a haircut. Share fantasies.

Problem: Article: Playing telephone in teams can add a fun competitive edge to the game.  Teams will each play the game in same manner, with one person starting the game off and the players whispering it down the line.  However, one player is chosen to whisper the same word to both teams.  The goal is to see which team can end the game with the word being closest to the original.  Words that are closer will generally sound more alike or be a variation of the original word. Words that are farther apart from the original will generally have wildly different sounds and meanings. For example, you may start with the word "benevolence".  One team ends the game thinking that the word was "beneficent", while the other team got "detriment".  In this case, the team who said "beneficent" would be closer to the original word and win the round. In this version, players are required to make changes.  Even if you hear the phrase correctly, you must add one or two differences.  This will result in huge changes to the original phrase the game started with. For example: If you started out with "Mary had two white cats," the next person might say: "Mary had two black dogs." The third person might say: "Mary had one black-and-white dog." If you are finding that your team is able to keep the word or phrase close to the original, you can try making the game harder.  Try picking new words or phrases that are more difficult to hear correctly.  Keep some of these tips in mind when trying to make the game of telephone a bit more difficult:  Pick longer words or phrases.  The more you say, the harder it will be to pass on to the next person.  You might try using "Squirreled" or "Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?". Pick words that aren't often used.  For example, "magnanimous" isn't said often and may cause players to mishear it. Use random words that don't have context.  For example using “tower, nose, zircon” would make it much more difficult to guess what was said without the context that normal phrases would have.
Summary:
Play in teams. Try the “rumor” variation. Increase the difficulty.
