Problem: Article: Sorbitol, a sweetener used in most sugar-free gum, is an ingredient in lots of laxatives. If you're suffering from a bout of constipation and want to get things moving, chew a couple pieces of sugar-free gum. Don't use this as a long-term solution. High levels of sorbitol can cause stomach irritation and other digestive problems. Coconut water is increasingly popular as an after-workout drink, and it has natural laxative effects, as well as diuretic properties and other positive health benefits. Drink one bottle of coconut water to help relieve symptoms, or drink the milk of one raw coconut. Don't overdo it. Too much coconut water can have the opposite effect, giving you very loose stools. If you're suffering from constipation, take a tablespoon of all-natural extra virgin olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice in the morning on an empty stomach. Olive oil is a common home remedy used to promote digestion and lubricate stool.  Similarly, flax oil and orange juice is a common, but unverified, home remedy for constipation.  In general, doctors do not recommend using mineral oil or castor oil for constipation remedies. Mineral oil can cause problems such as vitamin deficiencies, and castor oil can lead to long-term constipation. The benefits of drinking warm lemon water in the morning are somewhat hard to pin down, but this is an increasingly popular home tonic thought to have any number of weight-loss, skin care, and cold-prevention properties. It's true though that lemon juice stimulates liver function, helping you digest food more thoroughly, making your stools easier to pass. Drink one cup of warm water with a tablespoon of lemon juice added first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. For added nutritional benefit and taste, add a small amount of raw honey and some turmeric powder. All-natural yoghurt, fermented kombucha drinks, and naturally-fermented sauerkraut are all excellent sources of probiotic bacteria, which are commonly used to treat digestive issues, including constipation and diarrhea. If you've been constipation as a result of viral infection or other illnesses, foods containing probiotics can be a solution.  While the research regarding probiotic cultures and constipation is somewhat mixed, and probiotics are typically used to treat diarrhea, it's true that intestinal flora is an essential part of overall digestive health. Some favor the prebiotic approach over the probiotic approach because if you feed your existing probiotics, you encourage growth of the good bacteria—as opposed to ingesting good bacteria from another source (typically cows).  With prebiotics you are establishing your own stable healthy gut, and don’t have to rely on feeding it new bacteria.  You create a situation of competitive exclusion whereby the bad bacteria is less able to find food to eat because the good bacteria is growing faster, outnumbering the bad bacteria and out-eating the bad bacteria. For a lot of people, a morning cup of coffee is a quick way to get things moving. The stimulant properties of caffeine do stimulate your intestinal muscles, making it somewhat easier to have a bowel movement. Drink a cup of coffee or some caffeinated tea in the morning to temporarily and quickly relieve constipation. Don't use this as a long-term solution to your morning toilet routine. Coffee is a diuretic, which means it draws water out of your stools and makes them more difficult to pass. Limit your caffeine in-take as much as possible. Available in most groceries stores, a few ounces of natural aloe vera juice every couple of hours can help to relieve constipation. Dried aloe vera is also commonly available in capsule form at natural food stores for use as a constipation treatment. Dandelions do have a purpose. Tea made from dandelion root is a common and effective constipation remedy, rich in phytonutrients. Dandelion root is used in a variety of natural herbal blends available commercially, for things as diverse as constipation relief, liver function, kidney function, and other digestive issues. It also tastes great and is widely available.
Summary: Chew sugar-free gum. Drink some coconut water. Swallow a tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice. Drink warm lemon water. Try some live cultures. Drink a small amount of caffeine, temporarily. Drink a cup of aloe vera juice. Drink dandelion tea.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wear a long-sleeve shirt when operating a chainsaw. You should also wear safety gloves, safety goggles, ear protection, a hard-hat helmet, and chainsaw chaps. Each of these items is important: they protect you from injury while operating a chainsaw. Chainsaw chaps are heavy aprons or pants made of layers of protective fabric, to be used when operating a chainsaw. You can purchase chaps online or at a hardware store. Make sure there is nothing in the area where the top of the tree is going to fall. Clear away any items such as dog houses, bird houses, fences or children's play equipment near the area where the branches will fall. If you are cutting down a whole tree, make sure you have a clear escape route so you can move safely out of the way as the tree topples. Not all trees can be topped without professional help. If there are immovable objects in harm's way, (large structures, for instance, or power lines), consult a tree-care professional. Make sure you're standing comfortably.  Lay the chainsaw on a flat surface (such as the ground). Place your left hand on the handlebar and your right hand on the starter-rope handle. Pull the starter rope gently until you feel resistance. Then pull the rope toward you several times until the engine starts. (Consult the manufacturer's instructions for advice on using the choke mechanism.) Once the engine is running, briefly pull the throttle trigger to rev the engine (to make sure it will successfully accelerate). Then carefully lift up the chainsaw. Make sure you have secure footing when starting a chainsaw. If you need to use something like a ladder to top a tree, it's not recommended you do so alone unless you have extensive experience operating a chainsaw. Stick to topping shorter trees where the branches can be reached when standing on the ground. A Humboldt cut is a three-step process for cutting down a tree (or part of a tree). First cut into the trunk just above the highest branch you want to retain. Place the chainsaw against the side of the tree toward which you want the top to fall. Make a horizontal cut into the tree. Stop cutting when you're about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through the tree's diameter. (In other words, stop cutting well before the chain reaches the center of the trunk.) After making your first cut, move your chainsaw down several inches. Angle the chainsaw upward and make a diagonal cut that connects with your first cut (again stopping about 1/3 of the way through the trunk). You're cutting a small, horizontal wedge out of the trunk.  A small chunk of the tree will fall to the ground after you make this second cut, leaving a gash in the tree's side.
Summary:
Put on safety gear. Clear the surrounding area. Start your chainsaw. Start with a horizontal cut. Add a second cut below the first one.
