Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Collect the petals. Dry petals with pressure. Check the petals. Dry petals in the microwave. Check the sunflower petals after the first 20 seconds. Dry the plates and switch out the paper towels in between batches.

Answer: Choose a sunflower with bright, undamaged petals and pluck these petals off one by one using your fingers. Try not to damage the petals as you pull them off. Place the petals in a single layer between two sheets of blotting paper, parchment paper, or paper towels (blotting paper is the best option). Place the sheets between two pieces of cardboard. Set a heavy book on top, and let the petals dry for several weeks. You can also simply place the paper towels or blotting paper between pages in a heavy book. After two or three weeks, remove the cardboard and blotting paper carefully and pick the petals up gently. If the petals still feel moist, lay out new blotting paper and continue pressing them for another week or so before checking them again. Lay out two sheets of paper towel on a microwave-safe plate. Arrange the petals in a single layer on top of these paper towels, then place another two sheets of clean paper towels on top of the petals. Microwave the petals on high power for 20 to 40 seconds or until the petals completely dry out. The paper towels will wick away the moisture released by the sunflower petals as you microwave them. If they still fill damp, continue microwaving them in 10 second intervals until they feel dry. Do not let the petals become crisp, though. You could also let the paper towels sit out for a few minutes to let them dry instead of using new paper towels. You should let the petals rest on your paper towels for several hours before you use them, which helps with preservation.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test your tolerance to specific products. Stick to small servings of dairy. Increase dairy consumption gradually. Consume dairy with meals. Get products that are lactose-reduced. Include the lactose enzyme in your meal. Try taking probiotics.

Answer: Start by going dairy-free for several days. Then choose a day to attempt consuming one specific dairy product (for instance, eat cheese that day but no other dairy). Keep track of your symptoms. This way you can determine if there are certain products that do not upset your stomach. Very few people have such severe intolerance that they cannot eat dairy at all.  Swiss, cheddar, and other hard cheeses have lower lactose and might cause fewer symptoms than soft cheese like ricotta and brie. Some people who are lactose intolerant can eat yogurt without a problem because of the bacteria cultures in it.  Low-fat and fat-free ice cream, hard cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt contain less lactose per serving than milk. Some people who cannot drink milk can tolerate these other products in moderation. Do not overwhelm your body with lactose. Try to limit drinking milk to 4 ounces at a time (118 ml) or less. Drink low-fat or fat-free milk instead of whole milk. It’s likely that you can have some amount of dairy, and just have to discover your limit. Start with a very small serving of one dairy product, and if you do not have any symptoms, then try a larger serving the next day. With trial and error, you can determine what you can eat, and how much of it, without symptoms. There’s no “cure” for lactose intolerance, but you may be able to make symptoms tolerable or even non-existent. Eliminate dairy products from your diet, and then begin to introduce them slowly. You may be able to help your body acclimate to increasing levels of dairy. You’re less likely to get symptoms if you have dairy with other food. Taking dairy with meals makes it easier for your body to digest everything, and will likely cause fewer symptoms for you than just having dairy on its own. Because lactose intolerance is so prevalent, many grocery stores carry lactose-reduced or lactose-free products. These generally do not taste any different than regular dairy products. Lactose-free products shouldn’t cause you any stomach upset; whether or not you get symptoms from lactose-reduced products depends on your body and how much lactose is still in the product. Lactaid is a brand that sells many different types of lactose-free dairy products, such as milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, and eggnog. Lactase is the enzyme that breaks down lactose in your body (most people are lactose intolerant because their body doesn’t have enough lactase). You can get tablets or drops from your drug store, usually over-the-counter, which contain lactase. These products come in different forms. Some you take as a tablet before eating lactose; others are liquids or powders that you add to dairy products.  SureLac and Lactaid are some examples, but there are more. Some brands of milk even contain the lactase enzyme to minimize the lactose in milk; look for this on the label. Using these products can be helpful if you’re unsure of the lactose content of a meal, like if you’re eating at a restaurant.  These products don’t help everyone who is lactose intolerant. Some people are lactose intolerant for a different reason than lactase deficiency. In their natural state, probiotics are tiny organisms that live in your gut and help you digest food and keep your intestines healthy. You can also get probiotics in capsule form from your pharmacy (usually over-the-counter). Taking probiotics may help ease diarrhea and symptoms of lactose intolerance, and can be tried if other treatments don’t work. Probiotics are considered generally safe, but you should still check with your doctor before taking them to make sure they won’t interfere with any other health conditions or medications you take.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush gently. Brush and floss after every meal.

Answer:
Most brands of toothpaste make a special toothpaste for sensitive teeth. These contain a chemical, potassium nitrate, which helps reduce sensitivity by protecting the nerves in your gums. Most of these toothpastes use a synthetic form of potassium nitrate, although some natural toothpaste brands such as Tom’s of Maine use a natural form. Both forms of potassium nitrate are safe to use. Follow the directions on the toothpaste tube for proper usage. The bristles on toothbrushes can range from soft to firm. The softer the bristles, the more gentle it will be on your teeth and gums when you brush your teeth. Choose a toothbrush that has soft bristles. If you have a habit of brushing hard on your teeth, this will be especially painful for you in the first few days after you get your braces. Be gentle on your teeth, slowly and carefully brushing in a circular motion. Take your time when brushing and when opening your mouth wide. When you have braces, you need to brush and floss after every time you eat, even when you are out of the house. Without this attentive care to your teeth, you risk getting cavities, swollen gums or other tooth problems. During the time you wear braces, your teeth need extra care. Carry a travel toothbrush, a mini tube of toothpaste and a small packet of floss with you when you are away from home so that you are always prepared to brush after eating.
