To calculate the amount of calcium in your diet, you need to keep track of your food using a food journal. Basically, you write down everything you eat in a day, including the serving size. Then you can calculate the amount of calcium in the foods you ate. For instance, a cup of yogurt has 415 milligrams of calcium. Therefore, if you ate a cup and a half over the course of a day, you consumed 622.5 milligrams of calcium just from yogurt. If you're not 50 yet, you need about 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily. If you're over 50, your need increases to 1,200 milligrams daily. Limit intake to under 2,500 milligrams. While it's acceptable to take more than your daily minimum, you shouldn't get more than 2,500 milligrams of calcium between your diet and your supplements. Your doctor can help you assess whether you need a supplement based on your diet. She can also recommend the right kind of calcium for you and can look at whether a calcium supplement will interact with any of your medications or cause adverse affects for you. Some people are more dependent on calcium. For instance, if you have osteoporosis or at high risk of developing it, you need to be more careful about getting the required amount of calcium every day, as it helps keep your bones healthy.

summary: Calculate the amount of calcium in your diet. Know how much you need. Talk to your doctor about whether you need a supplement. Know your risk.

For the best results, put the beans in a colander or wash basket. This will let you wash the beans under the sink while the water drains.  If you do not have a colander, you can rinse the beans in a bowl, draining the water from the bowl after you wash them. If you have nothing else that will work, you can hold the beans in your hands as you wash them.  Keep a tight grasp so that they do not fall. Turn on cold water from the tap. Set the green beans under the running water. If using a bowl or colander, move the beans around with your hands to make sure that they are evenly washed.  As you run water over the beans, remove visible dirt with your fingers. The water you use to clean the beans should be water that is safe to drink. If it is not safe, use distilled or bottled water instead. You can remove extra bacteria from the beans by drying them with a towel after washing. Use paper towels to gently pat the green beans dry. Once the beans have been washed and dried, you can  trim and prepare them for cooking.

summary: Place beans in a colander. Run water over the beans. Pat dry.

If you don’t absolutely know that he likes you, don’t act upon it. You may ruin a friendship based on rumors that other people have told you or an assumption that you’ve made because you think he likes you. There are some tell-tale signs that he is truly into you.  He consistently asks you out. He persistently tries for body contact. He persists on hanging one-on-one. The longer you wait, the worse it’ll be. His feelings will grow and it will be impossible to maintain any kind of friendship after you tell him the truth. You can pretend all you want that he’ll “get the hint” if you simply avoid him. Well, he won’t. You need to find a time to talk to him. Make it a time when it’s only the two of you, so that he doesn’t get embarrassed in front of a group of people. Write down what you’re going to say before you say it. If you fumble over your words, you’ll make the conversation longer, more awkward, and a worse time than it needs to be. In your plan, you should have some points about why you aren’t interested in him. Don’t attack him with reasons he’s gross—just be honest about why you’re not into him.  You can’t seem to move on from your ex-boyfriend. You just aren’t physically attracted to him. You like someone else. If you have a conversation on the phone or over text, you can still implement all of these into your conversation. The most important part when doing that is being ultimate. Make sure he knows that there is no future chance for the relationship.
summary: Know that he likes you. Don’t procrastinate. Don’t avoid him forever. Make a plan. Talk over the phone.
