Problem: Article: Pseudomonas usually produce mild symptoms in healthy people with strong immune systems. These infections may be water-borne. There have been reports of:  Eye infections in people who use extended-wear contact lenses. To avoid this, change your contact lens solution instead of topping it up. Do not wear your contacts for longer than recommended by your doctor or the manufacturer's instructions. Ear infections in children after swimming in contaminated water. This can occur if the pool does not have enough chlorine to adequately disinfect it. Skin rashes after using a contaminated hot tub. This rash generally manifests as itchy red bumps or blistered filled with fluid around the hair follicles. It may be worse in areas where your skin was covered by a bathing suit. Signs and symptoms of pseudomonas depend on where the infection occurs.  Blood infections are characterized by fever, chills, fatigue, muscle and joint pains, and are extremely serious.  Lung infections (pneumonia) include symptoms like chills, fever, a productive cough, difficulty breathing.  Skin infections may cause an itchy rash, bleeding ulcers, and/or headache.  Ear infections may present with swelling, ear pain, itching inside the ear, discharge from the ear, and difficulty hearing.  Eye infections caused by pseudomonas may include the following symptoms: inflammation, pus, swelling, redness, pain in the eye, and impaired vision. The doctor will likely want to look at the rash and may take a sample of the bacteria to send to the lab to confirm the diagnosis. This may be done in two ways:  Swabbing the infection on your skin Taking a biopsy. Doing a biopsy is rare. If you are otherwise healthy, treatment may not be necessary. Your immune system may clear the infection itself. However, your doctor may suggest:  Anti-itch medications if you have an itchy rash Antibiotics if you have a serious infection. The doctor may be more likely to prescribe antibiotics if you have an infection in your eye.
Summary: Recognize a mild case of Pseudomonas. Know symptoms of different pseudomonas infections. Go to the doctor for a diagnosis. Discuss treatment options with your doctor.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your friend is complaining about how they look, do not automatically compliment them and tell them how great they look. Although you are trying to help, your words will not help your friend feel better about their appearance. This approach may backfire and make your friend feel like you do not understand them.  Instead of trying to cheer your friend up, listen to them and acknowledge their feelings.  For example, if your friend says, “My hair looks ugly today,” you could say, “Yeah. Bad hair days happen to all of us.” That response is better than telling your friend that their hair looks great. Helping an insecure friend can be overwhelming and take a toll on you. If you are a minor, encourage your friend to speak to a counselor, trusted adult, or a parent. If you are an adult, suggest that your friend seek the help of a professional therapist.  It is never too soon to suggest that your friend seek some outside help. You may say, “Hey, have you ever tried talking to someone about how you feel. I think it could really help you.” Your friend will need to see a counselor if they are engaging in self-harm, abusing drugs or alcohol, has an eating disorder, or seems to be depressed. . You probably think your friend is wonderful and has no reason to be insecure. However, that does not change how your friend feels. Always acknowledge your friend's feelings. Let your friend know if you have experienced anything similar.  You may say, “I understand that” or “I know how hard that can be.” Your job is to support your friend and show them that you understand and accept them.

SUMMARY: Validate their feelings. Suggest other resources. Show empathy

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This matters. The math is really simple here, actually. You have to burn more calories than you take in. It's a simple equation. Sometimes people make weight loss too difficult.  It takes a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose a pound. So, if you burn 500 extra calories a day, you're on track to lose 1 pound per week. That might not sound like a lot, but over a year, it is. Your basal metabolism will burn some calories (that means what you burn just from living and moving). You can calculate your basal metabolism using online calculators. You can find calorie calculators online that will provide a detailed estimate. Don't lose weight by guessing.  Indoor rowing, burpees, and jumping rope are all big calorie burners. Experts say that cardio exercises burn more calories than strength training does. Rowing, running, walking, or riding a bicycle are all cardio activities.   Switch up the intensity of the workout. Cardio is a great weight loss technique because it requires the body to use fat as its first fuel burning source. You should aim to do 60 minutes of exercise a day about five or six days out of the week. However, don't think you can exercise without monitoring your diet and lose weight fast. Both play a key role.  Take enough steps. Buy a Fitbit to track your steps, and try to get in 10,000 steps a day.Take the stairs when you could take the elevator. Walk to work, instead of driving. Spend some time in the garden. Little things will add up.   Strive for consistency. It's key. You can't exercise once in a blue moon and think that will matter. Build exercise into your daily life. Drink coffee before you exercise. A cup of coffee before your workout will give you a boost of energy that will make you work harder, and burn more. But skip the sweeteners and cream. Kettlebells are bowling-ball size weights that are made out of cast iron. They're used for strength training. They're great for your core, and they provide a full body workout.   Swinging a kettlebell can burn 400 calories in 20 minutes. Kettlebells range from 2 to 100 pounds. Start with one that works for you.   The overarm swing is one good way to use a kettlebell. Battling ropes can burn a lot of calories, and it's a common fitness technique found at gyms. You can burn as many as 10.3 calories per minute with rope battles. You hold a thick rope in each hand and perform different motions with it. Switch up the exercises in quick intervals. You'll lose weight faster that way than standing in the same place on a treadmill.  Circuit training sessions often contain exercises like mountain climbers, squats, bicycle crunches, and lunges.   Because you are constantly switching exercises, circuit training is less boring for many people. You will burn 30 percent more calories with a circuit training workout than other types of workouts.
Summary:
Burn calories and track them. Know how many calories different exercises burn. Go for cardio. Exercise 60 minutes a day. Use kettlebells. Use ropes. Try circuit training.
