INPUT ARTICLE: Article: By dehydrating your food, you take all of the liquids out. Once fully dehydrated, it’s very difficult for bacteria to form, creating a food that can last for weeks or months without refrigeration. The content of the food, including fiber content and calories, stays the same with dehydrating (except for a loss of Vitamin C in some foods because of its solubility). With a food dehydrator, available at some grocery stores and at many places online, you can preserve fruits, vegetables, and meats.  If you don’t want to buy a dehydrator, you can also get the same effect from a low-temperature oven. Use the oven on the lowest possible setting, place your food on a non-stick pan, and use a small fan to keep the air circulating and prevent any moisture buildup. The process takes all of the liquid out of the foods, preserving it in a new, chewier form. Once dehydrated, you can store these foods without refrigeration for weeks. Dehydrating is particularly good for backpacking trips or other times when you need to carry your food with you. . Smoked meats have been a way for people to preserve food for thousands of years. The kinds of wood for the fire and the spices you put on the meat itself can create an array of delicious flavors on the meat. There are two kinds of smoking – hot and cold. The differences are as follows:  When you smoke meat using the “hot” method, you are cooking it at a low temperature (150 degrees Fahrenheit and up) for a long time. The “cold” method, on the other hand, is at less than 100 °F (37.8 °C) and is not really meant to cook the meat at all, but rather to seal the meat enough so that bacteria cannot grow in it. This method works particularly well if you’re planning to cook the meat at some other point in the future. . Like smoking, curing is a process that has been around for thousands of years. The process involves using salt to leach the water out of meat, essentially dehydrating it. There are two main ways of curing meats:  Dry curing involves rubbing the meat with salt and sodium nitrite and other spices of your choosing. The meat is then typically hung to dry. For safety, it’s best to purchase a prepared mixture of salt and nitrate -- the amount should be about 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of meat, but follow any directions on the mix that dictate amounts.  Wet curing or brining also uses salt, but in a liquid solution. Meat is placed into a “brine” made of water, salt, sodium nitrite, and other spices to cure. The typical mixture is about 1 ¼ cups of kosher salt per gallon of water.

SUMMARY: Try dehydrating your food. Smoke meats Cure meats


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Mix 2 tsp (10 ml) of isabgol in 8 oz (240 ml) of warm water, along with 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of freshly-squeezed lemon juice. Prepare the mixture before a meal and drink it immediately.  Similarly, you can drink the same mixture as soon as you wake up in the morning. The bulk produced by isabgol makes you feel fuller, so it is easier to eat less during a meal. Isabgol is also a colon cleanser, so it can help clean out any waste products clogging up your digestive system and slowing down your metabolism. Eat an isabgol wafer once a day immediately after a meal to help your heart health.  Alternatively, you could take the isabgol as soon as you wake up in the morning for similar results. The fiber content in isabgol is believed t help reduce cholesterol in your system. Since the supplement is also low in fat, it does not contribute anything harmful to cholesterol problems. Theoretically, isabgol coats the walls of your intestines and helps prevent the blood from absorbing cholesterol from other foods you eat. As a result, the cholesterol levels in your blood drop. Dissolve 1 to 2 tsp (5 to 10 ml) of powdered isabgol into 8 oz (240 ml) of milk or water after every meal. Do this on a regular basis.  When your digestive system processes isabgol, a thick, gel-like substance forms and coats the walls of your intestines. This coating slows down the breakdown and absorption rate of glucose. Since your body will be absorbing glucose more evenly and slowly, your blood sugar is less likely to spike.  When you have diabetes, you should avoid having isabgol with curds. Due to the imbalances in your body, the isabgol is more likely to cause constipation when taken with curds if you have diabetes.

SUMMARY: Lose weight by drinking it with lemon water. Keep your heart healthy. Battle diabetes by regularly consuming isabgol.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A flat surface is required to get an accurate measurement. You can put the shoe down on the floor, a table, or desk. Typically, a desk or table is ideal because it can be difficult to measure when you need to get down to floor level. A ruler or tape measure will ensure that you are getting an accurate measurement. It doesn’t matter if you use a tape measure or ruler. It just needs to be long enough to measure the heel of the shoe. Take your ruler or tape measure and put the end of it just above the heel cap. Then, extend the ruler upwards, so that it reaches up towards the top of the shoe. End your measurement at the highest point on the back of the heel.  Whatever length you get between heel cap and the highest point on your heel is the heel height. Above the heel cap is where the actual heel begins, but you can also measure the heel cap if you want to know how it factors into the overall heel height. If you use the Imperial System and live in a country that does as well, your heel height will typically be measured in inches. If you live in a country that uses the Metric System, your heel height will be measured in centimeters. If needed, you can easily convert the unit of measurement by using an online tool. For example, type “inches to centimeters” into Google and use one of the converter tools available.

SUMMARY:
Put your shoe on a flat surface. Get a tape measure or ruler. Measure from the top of the heel cap. Use inches or centimeters to measure heel height.
