Consult with the instructions that came with your pan to see how often, if at all, you should season your pan. Rinse and dry the pan completely. Rub a teaspoon of oil on the inside of the pan with a paper towel. Put the pan in an oven preheated at 300°F (149°C) for one hour. Once the pan has cooled, wipe off the oil with paper towels.  If your pan has a nonstick coating, it may wear off with use over time. Seasoning your pan can make it last longer. For example, you may want to completely season your pan semiannually. Rub it with a small amount of oil every time before you use it. Allow the pan to cool naturally after it’s been heated. Don’t run your pan under cold water while it’s hot, or vice versa. Sudden temperature changes can cause nonstick cookware to warp, preventing heat from evenly distributing in the future. Hang your pans to store them, if possible, with decent space in between. If you must stack them, do so away from hard corners and sharp objects. Put a paper towel in between your pan and other cookware. Padding your pan with a paper towel will help you to take the pan out without scraping it against other cookware.

Q: There are many varieties of the hibiscus flower, but the hibiscus sabdariffa variety is the one that gives you the best flavor. The calyx is the green, trumpet-shaped part at the base of the flower, which will eventually turn red and brittle.  The hibiscus must be pesticide-free if you are using it for tea. It does not have to be pesticide-free if you are using it for general crafts. You can try using this method for the actual flowers too, but you will need to adjust the drying time. Timing is everything here. Find hibiscus flowers that are in bloom, then wait for them to fall. Locate the red calyx, then pick it after 24 to 48 hours. This will ensure that it is ripe. The calyx should pop off of its stem easily. If you have to pull it off, it is not ripe yet. Try again the next day. Cut the calyx from the stem of the flower first. Next, cut a shallow slit down the length of the calyx. Pry open the calyx with your fingers, then pop the seed pod out. Try to keep the calyx intact. Don't throw the seed pods away! Allow the seed pods to dry for 1 week, then crack them open and plant the seeds. Preheat the dehydrator between 95 to 115 °F (35 to 46 °C). Spread the calyxes on the tray in a single layer. Allow the calyxes to dry completely before taking them out of the dehydrator. This will take about 1 to 4 hours. Each dehydrator is different, so follow the instructions on your model carefully. Pour 2 cups (475 milliliters) of hot water over 1 tablespoon (15 grams) of dried hibiscus calyxes. Allow the tea to steep for 10 minutes before removing the calyxes. Flavor the tea as desired with lemon juice, sugar, or honey. Serve the tea hot or iced. If you want a stronger tea, use more hibiscus calyxes and increase the brewing time. If hibiscus tea isn't for you, you can add the dehydrated calyx to homemade potpourri. You can try using it in homemade candles or soap as well, but it would be a good idea to crumble it up first so that it isn't as bulky. Alternatively, you can string whole calyxes onto thread and make a pretty garland for your room.
A: Look for an organic hibiscus sabdariffa and locate the calyx. Pick the calyxes 24 to 48 hours after the flower has bloomed. Cut the seed pod away from the calyx. Dry the calyx using a dehydrator. Use the calyx to brew hibiscus tea. Use the calyx to make potpourri.

Article: A diet high in omega-3s can increase BDNF levels and improve brain function. Incorporate one to two servings of oily fish, like salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines, into your diet each week. Other foods high in omega-3s are flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, spinach, Brussels sprouts, purslane, meats from grass-fed animals, and omega-3 enriched eggs. Fasting for 12 hours has been shown to increase BDNF. However, fasting does not have to be hard. Fasting for 12 hours can be as simple as skipping your bedtime snack and not eating until breakfast the next morning. Essentially, you do this every night. If you want to challenge yourself, then try fasting for 16 hours once or twice a month. Curcumin or turmeric, which is found in curry, has been shown to increase levels of BDNF. Try to incorporate these spices into your meals once a week. For example, incorporate a teaspoon (5 ml) of curcumin into your fish, chicken, and vegetable dishes once or twice per week. Blueberries contain an antioxidant known as anthocyanin. Anthocyanin has been shown to increase an individual’s BDNF if taken regularly. Try to eat a handful of blueberries at least five times a week, if not every day. Supplements are a great way to get your daily value of omega-3s and other vitamins that you would normally get from eating healthy foods. If you do not like fish or curcumin, for example, then take the supplement versions. Make sure to follow the instructions on the bottle to take the correct dosage.  Green tea and resveratrol supplements have also been shown to increase levels of BDNF.  Nootropic drugs are supplements that aim to improve memory, creativity, and other brain functions. They may also increase BDNF levels.  You can also take DHA dietary supplements. DHA is a type of omega-3 that can help improve brain function. Foods high in processed sugar and HFCS have been shown to decrease levels of BDNF. Additionally, processed foods have also been shown to decrease levels of BDNF. Try to avoid eating these foods as much as you can.  For example, you can replace processed sugar with more natural sugars like honey, maple syrup, or agave. Instead of eating pre-packaged meals, cook with fresh ingredients as much as you can. If you do not have time to cook your own meals, then look into getting a crockpot.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Eat more foods high in omega-3s. Try intermittent fasting. Incorporate curcumin into your diet. Increase your intake of blueberries. Use supplements. Avoid foods high in sugar and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).
