Article: Zinc is one of those things people are still debating over the effectiveness of, but recent studies don't seem to think that it does much for you when you have a cold. Zinc can also have the side-effects of a lingering bad taste and nausea. Do NOT use nasal cold remedies that contain zinc, as they have been linked to permanent loss of smell. Antibiotics attack bacteria and not cold viruses. They won't help you get better faster and over-use of antibiotics has led to the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. While for most people, there is nothing wrong with using Echinacea, there does not seem to be any particular benefit to it either. It seems to be unlikely to help make your cold go away sooner. If you have asthma, however, do not use this. Echinacea medications have been known to make asthma symptoms worse.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Don't use zinc. Don't use antibiotics. Don't use Echinacea medication.
Article: A gluteal massage may help to improve the appearance of your rear. Go for a full body massage and ask for them to pay attention to your gluteal muscles. Keep in mind that some massage therapists may not massage this area directly, but they may be willing to massage the areas around your buttocks. Be aware that a massage will not directly affect the size of your butt. It may make the skin glow and give the temporary illusion of tone, but your rear will not get magically bigger overnight. Check with your local spa or a dermatologist to see if they offer microcurrent buttock treatments. This is a method of stimulating the muscle fibers in your buttocks to make them appear more toned and taut. Getting a treatment done is roughly the equivalent of doing 360 squats. Keep in mind this treatment won’t make your butt bigger, but it may help it to appear firmer than before. If you’re very unhappy with the appearance of your butt and you’ve tried everything to get it to the size you want, you might have reached limit of your genetics. Keep in mind that many celebrities have surgery to achieve a certain figure. If you’re striving for a specific look that you haven’t been able to achieve with exercise, diet, and clothing choices, find a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss treatment options. Keep in mind that plastic surgery is not covered by insurance and it can be quite expensive.

Article: Once you have learned how to calculate your net carb intake you need to actually track how much you are consuming to make sure you stick to the Atkins plan. There are a number of different techniques and technologies that can help you to do this. One good option is to download a carb counting app onto your smartphone.  It has the advantages of being portable and something you keep with you all day. Depending on the app you can also track other nutritional information. It will do some of the calculations for you and give you a clear and up-to-date count of your net carb consumption. Another digital option is to download a tracker onto your PC or laptop. Like the app this will do a lot of the calculating for you and is likely to contain a variety of other features to help you monitor what you eat more fully. Using one of these programs can often help you to gain a fuller picture of your diet. Unlike a smartphone app, it is not something you will carry around with you all day, so you won’t be able to keep it completely up-to-date during the day. A nice low tech version is simply to write down your net carb intake by hand as you go through the day. You could buy a special notebook and keep it with you. Jotting down your progress can be a good way to really take ownership of your diet plan and have a sense of achievement as you stick to it.  You won’t get as much analysis and extra information if you write it down yourself. But it could be nice to look back through the notebook after you have completed the diet to remind yourself of your progress.
