Q: Your mother was on to something when she hounded you about standing up straight.  Standing and sitting with improved posture can noticeably reduce the appearance of a bulge in your belly, even before you factor in fat-reduction and muscle-toning strategies.  Most of us have attempted to “suck in our gut” at some point, but that is of course not sustainable.  Proper posture, however, is sustainable.  It can be learned and it can be made permanent. Visit How to Stand Up Straight for some simple posture strategies and exercises. It turns out that you can place a little bit of the blame for your bulging belly on our caveman ancestors.  Part of the “fight or flight” reflex that helped protect our predecessors from sabre-tooth tigers triggers a release of cortisol, which signals the body to store fat in the abdominal area — saving it as energy for tough times to come.  One of the best ways to reduce cortisol levels, it turns out, is to reduce our overall stress (basically, reducing that "fight or flight" response).  In turn, this should help reduce the amount of fat stored in the abdominal area. Check out How to Relieve Stress for a wide range of strategies for recognizing, addressing, and reducing your stress levels. A lack of sufficient sleep also causes stress on the body, and results in increased cortisol levels, which again trigger fat storage.  Getting the amount of sleep that is right for your body should help reduce your cortisol levels, and therefore in turn your fat storage mechanism. Most adults need somewhere between seven to nine hours of sleep per day, but everyone’s precise needs are different.  How to Be a Morning Person offers some useful tips for determining how much sleep you need — and how to help make sure you get it. In addition to an excess of abdominal fat, bloating can be a major (if often temporary) culprit for causing a less-than-flat stomach.  Making some changes in diet and habits can help reduce your experiences of bloating.  Excess salt intake is a common cause of bloating, because it facilitates water retention in the body.  Skipping the salt shaker is a good idea, but the vast majority of most people’s sodium intake comes from prepared and packaged foods.  Read labels and menu boards for sodium content, and work to remain at or below recommended daily levels. Carbonated drinks not only tend to provide empty calories with no nutritional value, the carbonation itself can cause bloating — just another reason to skip the soda. Bloating can sometimes be caused by digestive issues, and dairy products containing probiotics can help some people address this problem.  Look for products like yogurt and kefir that contain “live and active cultures.” Consider that constipation can cause bloating and the feeling of a fat tummy. Exercise is one way to help relieve constipation. Despite what some people assume, drinking lots of water does not cause “water-weight gain.”  Rather, drinking water helps flush out the system and limit bloating.  The traditional advice has typically been that an adult should drink eight, 8-ounce glasses (two litres) of water per day. You should drink more water when you're exercising or on a hot day. We often don't feel thirsty even when our bodies need fluid, so it's a good idea to drink water regularly throughout the day. Drinking a glass of water before a meal can also help fill you up faster, thereby reducing your calorie intake.
A: Practice good posture. Work to reduce your stress level. Get more sleep. Battle bloating. Drink more water.

Article: This larger dish should be large enough so the smaller dish can sit in it comfortably. It should also have taller sides than the smaller dish so it doesn't overflow when you add water. For an 8 in (20 cm) x 8 in (20 cm) bowl, a 9 in (23 cm) x 13 in (33 cm) would be large enough. Keep an eye on the water level as the milk bakes. If water is evaporating, use a pitcher to add more so it stays at the desired level. If you feel unsteady transferring a dish full of water to the oven without spilling it, you can put the dishes in the oven without the water. Then use a pitcher to fill the dish. If you don’t use the dulce de leche right away, you can store it in the refrigerator. Store the mixture in an airtight container or jar and place it in the refrigerator. It should last 3 weeks if properly stored.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish. Bake the milk at 425 °F (218 °C) for 90 minutes. Refrigerate the dulce de leche for up to 3 weeks.

Problem: Article: Since you're shifting your body weight , this gives you a strong base so that you don't topple over. Your feet should be about the same distance apart as your shoulders, and they should be parallel to each other. Point your toes forward. Swing your hips from left to right. Repeat this motion until you have a good feel for the movement. This is just so you understand the basic movement that you'll be doing. This is a preparatory step for learning the booty shake. Increase your range of motion as you sway side-to-side and twist back-and-forth. Twist your hips forward and backward. As you are twisting, release your butt cheeks. Do not squeeze them together. Twist quickly, and you should feel your butt cheeks smack against each other or jiggle. This is an isolated movement, so only your pelvis should be moving. Do not bend your back. Instead of twisting as much as you were before in the previous step, lessen it so that you are still twisting but about half as much. However, continue to twist at the same fast rate as before that made your butt jiggle.  It shouldn't look like you're twisting even though you are. Your knees should be just about locked as you do this. With your feet still at about shoulder width apart, bend over at about a 90 degree angle. Then, continue to twist with the same limited range of motion as before. Continue to shake or twist quickly and repeat for as long as you want. Don't let your arms dangle. You don't want them looking like silly string as you shake. Bend them at about a 90 degree angle.
Summary: Stand with your legs shoulder width apart. Sway from side to side. Twist from side to side. Lessen the twisting range of motion. Bend over.

Q: In “The Strike,” Festivus dinner consisted of meatloaf on a bed of lettuce. Make this as the main entree to celebrate festivus dinner correctly. Dan O’Keefe’s family always had either turkey, ham, beef stew, or lamb chops for Festivus dinner. You can also celebrate Festivus by serving one of these foods. Also, serve some pecan pie for dessert. If you aren’t feeling meatloaf, turkey, ham, beef stew, or lamb chops, you can also serve any food eaten in the Seinfeld series for Festivus.  Make it easy on yourself and go pick up some food from Arby’s. Choose from many different foods, including shrimp, pizza, risotto, bagels, home-made sausages, egg rolls and more. Serve a soup such as wild mushroom or crab bisque and make sure to quote the “No soup for you!” line at least a few times over the course of the meal.
