Problem: Article: Buying a pair of reading glasses is a simple solution to help make reading fine print easier. Difficulty reading up close, or Presbyopia, is commonly experienced by aging individuals, and easily remedied by having reading glasses on hand to look at mail, restaurant menus, recipes, and other common things. Check for reading glasses, which normally retail for about $10, at drug stores and department stores. If you plan to use your reading glasses on a regular basis, visit your ophthalmologist for a prescription. Inexpensive reading glasses can cause eye fatigue when worn for too long. Handheld magnifiers are portable and can be beneficial for reading fine print in stores, restaurants, other establishments, or at home. Opt for a model with lower magnification, given that larger magnification limits the area of visibility (e.g. 3x as opposed to 6x magnification). Handheld magnifiers range in price from approximately $5-$150. There are numerous magnifier apps available for both iPhones and Androids. These apps use your phone's camera to zoom in on and magnify whatever it is focused on. The quality of these magnifiers relies heavily on the quality of your phone's camera; some also use your phone's flashlight feature to illuminate the view. The Smart Magnifier app for Android, for example, uses your phone's camera, auto-focus, and LED flash to magnify whatever you want to focus on. When presented with a document to sign, never hesitate to bring it home, or to a more quiet, comfortable setting, so that you can review it thoroughly. Conditions in a store or office may not be ideal for you to read the fine print in a text properly, or to take the necessary time to review it. Taking the document home will also allow you to have a second person review it, if necessary. Never let a salesperson or representative pressure you into signing or purchasing something without thoroughly reviewing the fine print. It is your right to know the exact details of what you are entering into.
Summary: Buy reading glasses. Get a portable magnifier. Download a magnifier phone app. Secure the time and space to read the small print thoroughly.

Problem: Article: It is best to use un-scented soap; this way, you can add your own fragrance to it. If you want to use fragranced soap, make sure that all scraps have the same smell, otherwise you might end up with an unfortunate-smelling combination.  If you really want to combine different scents, make sure that they go well together, such as lemon and lavender. Avoid using soap with added moisturizer. This tends to make it harder to set up. How you do this is up to you. If you don't mind putting in a little bit of elbow grease, you can use a cheese grater. You can also use a blender or food processor; break the soap up into smaller pieces first, however. During this time, the soap water will thicken. If possible, give the soap water a stir every so often. Don't be alarmed if the soap starts to cloud up after a couple of hours. This is normal.
Summary: Gather 8 to 10 ounces (226.8 to 283.5 grams) of soap. Grate the soap into small flakes. Let the soap water sit off-heat for 12 to 24 hours.

Problem: Article: Cotton is a breathable material that will prevent extra moisture from collecting. If you love satin and lace underwear, consider changing it out for cotton while you're on antibiotics. If you must wear pretty lingerie, make sure it has a cotton liner. Tight pants, pantyhose or elastic undergarments, or materials that don't allow air to circulate around the vaginal area, can cause the area to stay moist - perfect conditions for the growth of yeast. Change out of these clothing to stay dry and help prevent an infection.  Wear looser styles as opposed to skinny jeans. Choose a dress or a skirt when possible. Wear loose workout clothing instead of tight workout pants. Change out of a swimsuit and into dry clothes as soon as you can after swimming. The same goes for sweaty gym clothes after a workout. Semen has a different pH than the inside of the vagina, so having sex without a condom can throw things out of balance. If you're willing to change things up while you're on antibiotics, consider using condoms for awhile.
Summary: Wear cotton underwear. Avoid wearing tight, sweaty, or wet clothing. Use condoms during sex.

Problem: Article: If you don't have time or don't want to spend time exercising regularly, try increasing your daily lifestyle activities.  These are exercises you already do and increasing them can help you burn more calories throughout the day.  Think about your day and see if you can find additional ways to add in more steps or to move more.  A little planning can help you find a few ways to add in activity or find an extra few minutes to be active. Try adding in activity like:  taking the stairs over the elevator, parking far away from your destination and standing or walk in place during TV commercials. Make a rule to walk to your destinations if they are under 1 mile (if safe and appropriate for you).  Skip taking the bus or driving. Going to the gym, doing high intensity aerobic classes or spending money on expensive equipment isn't possible or comfortable for everyone.  Walking is an activity that most healthy people can do that can help burn calories and increase your cardiovascular fitness.  If you walk 30 minutes on five days of the week, you'll be meeting the minimum guidelines for physical activity (150 minutes per week).  If you don't have time for a full 30 mins, try breaking up your walk into three 10 minute increments. You don't have to spend hours in the gym or purchase expensive equipment to include strength training.  Even light weight resistance training can help increase muscle mass and muscle tone.  Again, you can break up your strength training routine into 10 minute increments if it fits better into your schedule. Try including exercises that are easy to do at home and require no extra equipment.  Exercises can include:  sit ups, push ups, tricep dips, lunges or side leg lifts. Sometimes people think exercise just means running on a treadmill, but there are tons of ways to get exercise, inside and outside the gym. Try a new machine at the gym, or go for a long bike ride or a challenging hike. Try jumping rope or playing hopscotch with your kids or younger siblings.   Put on some upbeat music and dance around your house. This is a fun way to get your heart rate up and get some exercise. Make walking fun by taking an interesting tour or visiting a local museum. Or try skipping instead of walking or running. Play a sport.  Try joining a local soccer, tennis or basketball team for a fun and exciting way to be active.
Summary:
Add in more lifestyle activity. Go for a 30 minute walk. Add in 20 minutes of strength training. Think outside the box.
