When you have a cough, drink tea or warm lemon water with honey. It can help soothe a sore throat and calm your cough. Mix two teaspoons of honey with warm water or tea once in the morning and once before bedtime to help reduce coughing. Honey is widely available at most supermarkets and health food stores. Never give honey to a child younger than one year of age due to the risk of infant botulism, a serious form of food poisoning. Eating warm soup helps reduce inflammation in a sore throat and increases movement of nasal fluids to ease congestion. This is especially true if you have a persistent cough, cold, or fever. You can prepare your own soup or buy a healthy, low-sodium variety from your local grocery store. Heat it to a warm temperature and eat a bowl. Soup should be eaten one to three times daily until your symptoms reduce in severity or are completely cured.  To add a spicy kick that will also aid in clearing your cough, add chopped cayenne pepper or 1 to 2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper powder to your soup. You can drink broth as well. Chicken and vegetable broth are most common. You can make your own or buy some from the store. Be careful because store bought broth can have high levels of sodium. Look for low- or no sodium varieties. Children and infants should be given a bland soup, as this reduces the risk of nausea and vomiting. Pineapples are rich in an enzyme called bromelain which is used in medicine for reducing swelling and inflammation of the air passages, in order to prevent mucus buildup which can lead to congestion and coughing. Eating pineapples can also help prevent respiratory infections that often trigger coughs. Incorporate more fresh pineapple and pineapple juice into your daily diet to get more of bromelain's helpful properties. Do not eat potatoes or soy products with your pineapple. These foods contain substances that may slow down bromelain’s healing properties in the body. Certain foods can slow down the body’s healing process, impair the immune system, and increase inflammation. They may also cause gastroesophageal acid reflux, which can increase the severity of coughs. Lessen or avoid foods that can cause chronic inflammation, such as fried foods, veal, ham, steak, hot dogs, margarine, shortening, lard, refined carbohydrates, white bread, pasta, donuts, soda, and energy drinks. While some foods can cause inflammation, certain foods can also help reduce inflammation to help ease a sore throat. Eat more fruit, such as strawberries, cherries, and oranges. You should also eat more hearty foods, such as almonds, walnuts, salmon, mackerel, sardines, tuna, and olive oil. Consuming whole grains such as millet, oatmeal, brown rice, flaxseed, and quinoa will also help reduce inflammation.  Also try more vegetables such as olives, spinach, kale, and broccoli. Fruits with citric acid may cause acid reflux, aggravating your throat and triggering coughs. Cayenne peppers contain capsaicin, which has antiviral, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties to promote healing. This helps reduce congestion, coughs, and fevers. People who are allergic to latex, bananas, kiwi, chestnuts, or avocado may also have an allergy to cayenne.  Capsaicin should not be used by people with gastric reflux, low blood sugar, or people taking blood-thinning medications. Cayenne may cause nausea and irritation in the throat of young children, so avoid giving cayenne or other peppers to children and infants.

Q: This is a great way to make queso and keep it warm for several hours at a time because you can serve it right from the slow cooker. This recipe makes about six cups. Empty one can of diced tomatoes and green chiles into the slow cooker. Do not drain the can of tomatoes and chiles. Then, add the cream cheese in the slow cooker. Cut the cream cheese into one inch cubes to help it melt evenly and to prevent it from burning. Cook the diced tomatoes and cream cheese for approximately 15 minutes, or until the cream cheese completely melts.  Do not cover the slow cooker. Stir the dip mixture occasionally as the cream cheese melts. First, make sure you cut the cheese into small cubes. Add the cheese to the slow cooker one handful at a time to prevent burning, and stir well after each addition. Continue stirring the cheese in until all of it melts completely. Pour in a little at a time, stirring until the mixture thickens to a dip consistency. The mixture is at a dip consistency when you can stick a chip into it. If you chose to add chili beans, ground beef, or any other ingredient, do it at the end.  The chili beans and ground beef need to be fully cooked before adding them in the queso dip. Feel free to add your own seasoning such as ground cumin, garlic, diced onion, or Worcestershire sauce to add more flavor. Set the slow cooker on low and serve. Keep the slow cooker set on low up to four hours and serve the dip fresh.  The queso dip can be served with tortilla chips or vegetables. If your slow cooker has a warm setting, use that instead of the low setting.
A: Utilize your slow cooker for a rich chili-queso. Combine the cream cheese and half of the diced tomatoes. Turn the slow cooker on high. Stir in the Velveeta. Add the remaining tomatoes and chiles. Add in the rest of your ingredients. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve warm.

Article: Some homeowner’s associations have rules about what kinds of colors can be used to paint houses. If your neighborhood has a homeowner’s association, speak with a representative to find out if there are any restrictions you need to know about before you get started. Some historical homes have terne metal roofs, and these need to be painted with oil-based paint. Galvanized metal roofs are usually painted with acrylic-based paint. Find either oil-based or acrylic-based paint at your local home improvement store. To ensure that you know what kind of metal your roof is made out of and what kind of paint you should use, ask a professional roofer to inspect your home. Try to avoid making your roof the same color as the sides of your house. Instead, choose a neutral color that complements the sides, or a lighter color that gives an accent to your home. If your house is made of brick or stone, it is especially important to make sure your roof complements these materials, as their colors cannot be changed. You can find primers for metal at your local home improvement store. Ask an employee for help if you’re having trouble finding the kind you need.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check with your homeowner’s association for any painting regulations. Choose a paint that’s right for your metal roof. Choose a color that goes with the rest of your house. Purchase a primer designed for metal roofs.
