Summarize the following:
The most important thing you can do to help your mild stomach issues is to know what's causing them. Keep a journal for a month – write down everything you eat, what time, and in what amounts. Also record what symptoms you have, how severe they are on a scale of 1 – 10, what time they occur, and how long they last. Look for patterns.  If your symptoms occur when you eat dairy, you might be lactose intolerant.  If grains and carbohydrates cause you stomach upset, you may have a gluten sensitivity or, more rarely but more seriously, celiac disease. You can get this diagnosed at your doctor's office. Many cases of upset stomach are caused by foodborne illnesses. The CDC estimates that there are 9.4 million cases of foodborne illness each year in the US, if not more, as people often think they just have the flu or a stomach virus. Avoid foodborne illnesses by washing your hands after using the bathroom and before preparing food or eating. Make sure all foods are cooked to the proper internal temperature and fresh foods (like fruits and vegetables) are rinsed thoroughly.  Poultry and ground meats should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F (74˚C). Whole meats (like steaks) and fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145˚F (62.8°C). F Foods should be stored at under 41˚F (5˚C) or above 135˚F (57˚C) to avoid the rapid growth of bacteria. Limit how much air you swallow when you eat by eating slowly and eating smaller portions. Chew your food slowly and completely before swallowing. Try to eat multiple small meals throughout the day instead of two to three big meals. Don't chew gum or drink carbonated beverages — these cause you to swallow a lot of air and can contribute to stomach discomfort. Staying hydrated is important for keeping your bowel function healthy and regular. Drink at least 8 cups of water, juice, tea, or milk (unless you're lactose intolerant) every day. Not getting enough sleep affects more than your mood and your mind, and sleep deprivation can contribute to upset stomach and diarrhea. Poor sleep also worsens stress and can cause weight gain, both of which can contribute to stomach issues. Try to get 8-10 hours of restful sleep every night.  Set a specific wake time and bedtime. Practice good sleep hygiene by only using your bedroom for sleeping, and keeping the room cool and dark to help you fall and stay asleep. Get exercise during the day, and try not to nap. Exercise plays a protective role against colon cancer and constipation and can help reduce stress, which helps to keep your bowel function more regular. Start slowly and gradually increase how much you exercise, and if exercise is new to you talk to your doctor about a workout program. Aim to work up to exercising for at least 30 minutes 5 days per week. Consuming NSAIDs for stomach pain can exacerbate your problem instead of relieving it. NSAIDs have been known to cause or worsen stomach ulcers, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and upset stomach. If you have stomach problems, talk to your doctor about which pain relievers you should use. Common NSAIDs include (note that these can be over-the-counter, and appear in many medications like cold medicines):  Aspirin Ibuprofen (Motrin) Indomethacin (Indocin) Naproxen (Naprosyn) Celecoxib (Celebrex) . Smoking causes changes in your stomach tissue, increases your risk of developing ulcers, and can contribute to other causes of stomach upset. Try using the START acronym to stop smoking:  S = Set a date to stop smoking. T = Tell loved ones that you intend to quit. A = Anticipate that there will be challenges. R = Remove tobacco from your home, car, and workspace. T = Talk to your doctor for support and advice on quitting. . The stress hormone cortisol negatively affects numerous body systems – including your digestive tract – and stress can contribute to ulcers, nausea, diarrhea, and other stomach issues. Try yoga, meditation, deep breathing, taking a walk – anything that helps you relax. If you have a stressful lifestyle due to work or family, practice mindfulness meditation or learn stress management skills. Maintaining a calm, peaceful demeanor will help to improve your pain and health. Don't exercise right before or right after eating.

summary: Keep a food journal. Follow food safety rules to prevent foodborne illnesses. Eat smaller portions to relieve stomach discomfort. Drink 8–10 cups (1.9–2.4 L) of fluids a day. Get enough sleep every night. Exercise regularly to keep your digestive tract healthy. Avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Quit smoking Decrease your stress level


Summarize the following:
If you have either, a fine piece of steel wool or a copper pad work well for removing rust. However, you can also get good results from non-metal abrasive products (e.g. Brillo, SOS, etc.). If the rust is stubborn, add a little water and some mild dish-washing soap as you scrub. Normally, it's a bad idea to try to clean a cast iron pan the same way you'd clean other metal cookware, since this can remove the protective layer of seasoning. However, if your pan has rust, this has already occurred, so it's best to clean the rust from the pan and re-season later. If the rust appears to be thin and light, you can often get away with using mild abrasives you probably already have in your kitchen. For example, to use baking soda as an abrasive, sprinkle a small amount onto the surface of the pan along with some water. Stir the baking soda with the water to make a rough paste, then use a rag to scrub the paste into the rusty spots of the pan. Once you've scrubbed the rusty areas, let the paste sit for a few minutes, then rinse it off with tap water. If any rust remains, repeat as needed or switch to a different abrasive. Another easy DIY abrasive uses salt and water. This method works almost exactly like the baking soda one above: make a rough paste of salt and water in the pan, then scrub it into the rusty spots with a rag. Because the salt crystals are a little larger and rougher than particles of baking soda, the paste will be slightly more abrasive. However, salt is still considered fairly gentle. In some cases, simple abrasives won't remove rust on their own. In these cases, harsher chemical cleaners can help. For example, lower-priced toilet bowl cleaners containing roughly 20% hydrochloric acid (HCl) tend to well. HCl completely dissolves rust into a wet powder. In this state, it can easily be removed — consult the product's packaging for disposal instructions.  HCl is a strong acid, so working with it requires great care to prevent chemical burns. Protect your skin, hands, and eyes — wear gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and safety goggles or other eye protection (which can usually be purchased for fairly cheap at universities with chemistry departments). Always use good ventilation and avoid breathing the product's fumes. Strong acids can irritate the throat and lungs, especially in people with asthmatic or lung conditions. Beware: HCl will dull coated or plated screws and polished, shiny iron or steel, and such. After cleaning, give the pan a thorough rinsing to remove any loosened rust or cleaning products. If you used HCl, consult the product's packaging for disposal instructions instead. When the pan is clean, dry with a clean rag or paper towel. Be sure to get all the water out — missing even a little can cause rust to re-form.  After drying with a towel, try heating the pan on the stove over medium heat for about five minutes. This will remove any last traces of water, leaving you with a completely dry pan. Use care when handling the hot pan. After removing rust, it is highly recommended that you season your pan. This is an easy process that essentially gives the cast iron a protective layer of fat which prevents future rusting and also keeps food from sticking as it cooks. See the section below for information on seasoning your pan.
summary: Scrub the rust with an abrasive pad. For mild rust, try scrubbing with baking soda. Make a salt scrub. For bad rust, use a heavy-duty cleaner. Rinse the pan and dry thoroughly. For pans with severe rust, use professional-quality abrasion.
