Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Take time to enjoy life. Maintain your social life. Exercise often and eat well. Join a support group.

Answer: You should plan your everyday life so that you don't forget to take advantage of free time. It is important to take the time to enjoy yourself as this will help you cope better with the situation. Make time to be by yourself or go out with friends. Go see a movie with friends, create special hours of ‘alone time’, or get a massage every once in a while. Despite the fact that you are taking care of someone else, you should still keep your social life active. Keep in contact with friends, maintain your romantic relationship, and visit family when you have the chance. Having a good network of friends and family will help you to get through the tough days that will come along. Mental and physical health are linked. When your body is healthy, your mind and emotions can also be healthy. Get regular exercise and eat well-balanced meals. Exercising can also be a great way to lower stress or remove yourself from a tense situation. If you find yourself struggling to maintain your patience, go on a run or for a long walk. Yoga is great way to exercise both the mind and body. Enroll in a local yoga class and practice finding your inner calm. A support group is place where you get an opportunity to meet multitude of people who in various capacities are associated with people struggling with schizophrenia. It is a place where you can expect to be accepted as you are, where you can be extended unconditional support and where your situation is completely understood without any tagged-on stigma. Encourage your loved one to join a support group. On top of offering assistance to family members, support groups also help people with schizophrenia develop personal strengths and resilience, both of which are needed to combat this illness.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Cut down on portion sizes. Cut out 500 calories daily. Fill up on fruits and vegetables. Go for lean protein. Add in 100% whole grains. Drink enough clear fluids each day. Limit snacks and treats.

Answer: One of the things you may need to change about your diet is how much you eat per meal.  Large portions may mean too many calories and weight gain.  Cut back on portions to help you gradually lose weight.  Many health professionals will tell you to eat until you're "satisfied" not full.  This is a hard area to detect, but with some practice you can stop eating at just the right time. Satisfied is a lack of hunger, a slight disinterest in your meal and a feeling that the food you've eaten will hold you for a few hours. Full feels like a slight to large stretching sensation in your stomach, the thought that those last few bites were too much or you've had second portions. Eat your meal slowly.  Taking your time with your meal will help your brain and stomach communicate that you're satisfied and help you stop before you're full.  Schedule meals so that you have an appetite, but are not starving, when you do eat. Starting a meal when you are super hungry, or have been starving yourself all day, may lead to overeating. In addition to eating smaller portions, you'll need to be mindful of your total calorie intake.  Too many calories daily causes weight gain.  It's typically recommended to cut out about 500 calories daily.  This coincides with your goal to lose weight gradually.  A 500 calorie deficit each day will result in about 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss each week.  You can either cut out 500 calories from your food or burn off 500 calories with exercise.  The best is to do a combination of both.  Try keeping a food journal or using a food journaling app on your smart phone.  This may make it easier to track your foods and total calories each day. Both fruits and vegetables are low calorie foods that can help support a slow and gradual weight loss.  The USDA recommends that you make half of your plate fruit or vegetables.  These highly nutritious foods can bulk up your meals without adding too many calories to your day.  You may feel satisfied on a lower calorie amount due to the higher fruit and vegetable content. Try to include at least 1 to 2 servings of these foods per meal.  Aim for 1/2 cup (170 grams) or 1 small piece of fruit or 1 cup (340 grams) of vegetables or 2 cups (28 grams) of leafy greens.. It's important to include protein every day for a balanced diet.  However, studies have shown that lean protein aids in weight loss and helps maintain your weight long-term.  Protein is an essential nutrient in your diet.  Studies have also shown that it's very satisfying and satiating to your body.  You may feel less hunger throughout the day when you eat regular servings of protein.  Go for lean sources of protein.  They are typically lower in calories and fat and will support your desire to lose weight slowly.  Also stick to appropriate portion sizes of protein.  Measure out 3-4 oz of protein or about 1/2 cup. Lean protein sources include:  eggs, poultry, seafood, lean pork, legumes, tofu and lean beef. Many diets avoid grains and other carb-rich foods.  However, including a serving or 2 of 100% whole grains can still allow you to lose weight gradually.  Whole grains are minimally processed and contain every part of the grain:  the germ, bran and endosperm.  These parts together make grains higher in fiber, protein and other nutrients.  Examples of whole grains include:  brown rice, quinoa, oats, 100% whole wheat bread.  Stick to the appropriate portion size of 1 oz or 1/2 cup of grains per serving. This amounts to one slice of bread, half of a bun, and half a cup or 125 milliliters of rice, pasta, or quinoa. Try to limit or avoid more refined or processed grains since these are less nutritious.  Items like white bread, white rice or plain pasta are more refined. Water is another essential nutrient to your diet.  Being adequately hydrated helps keep your body healthy, but it can also support gradual weight loss.  Water is involved in a variety of functions in your body including lubricating joints, maintaining blood pressure and protecting organs.  In addition, being adequately hydrated can help you feel more satisfied throughout the day. Try to stick to no or low-calorie, decaffeinated beverages.  Try water, flavored water, unsweetened decaf coffee and tea. Most health professionals will recommend getting a minimum of 8 glasses of water daily.  However, depending on your age, gender and activity level, you may need up to 13 glasses daily. Whenever you're trying to lose weight, you should try to limit any excess foods and snacks.  Although they can be a part of your diet, they should only be included occasionally.  Snacks can provide you with a boost of energy and an extra shot of nutrition.  However if you snack when you're bored, stressed or just craving certain foods, this may lead to some weight gain over time. Make snacks count.  Only snack if you're truly hungry.  In addition, only snack if your next meal is more than an hour away.  If you're feeling hungry, but dinner is in 30 minutes, drink some water and wait until dinner to eat. Also limit the calorie content of snacks.  Keeping snacks to 100-150 calories per snack can help make sure you stick to your total calorie intake and support your weight loss.  Appropriate snack examples can include:  3 oz or 85 grams beef jerky, an apple with a cheese stick, about 10 almonds, or 1/2 cup or 113 grams of cottage cheese.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Set a budget. Choose a metal setting that complements the stone. Be aware of potential fakes. Only work with reputable dealers. Save by buying loose, wholesale sapphires. Shop online and in stores. Shop around at various jewelers.

Answer:
Know how much you can afford to spend before falling in love with a sapphire out of your price range. Sapphires can range in price from $50 per carat to more than $10,000 per carat, with the most expensive sapphire sold on record costing $135,000 per carat. The price of a sapphire is determined mostly by quality, and a large, low-quality sapphire can be a lot cheaper than a small yet very high-quality sapphire. For sapphires, color is king.  Cut has the biggest impact on a stone's brilliance (how much light comes to the eye). Transparency and clarity (the number of inclusions) are also important in determining value. Settings made of cool tones metals like silver and white gold usually complements blue sapphires best. Padparadscha sapphires can look great in yellow gold settings, though, and pink sapphires look good in both silver and gold settings. Less reputable sellers may try to sell unwitting buyers a cheaper stone that looks like sapphire instead of a sapphire. Tanzanite, blue spinel, and blue tourmaline are among the stones that some may try to pass off as being true sapphires. National chains are often a good place to start because their business practices are more closely scrutinized than those of individual stores. If you do look at the selection offered by local jewelers and individual sellers, make sure that you ask to see the official certification of any sapphire you consider buying. A legitimate jeweler will be able to present you with certification from the GIA or independent, official gemstone societies. Retailers drive the price of sapphires up, since they need to charge beyond the price they paid for the stones to make a profit. Retail wholesalers, however, can sell you loose stones at close to wholesale prices. Buying loose stones and having them set separately can also cost less than buying pre-set stones, and loose stones allow you more chance to customize the piece of jewelry. Both settings have pros and cons. Shopping for sapphires online often proves cheaper than buying sapphire jewelry in store. On the other hand, shopping for sapphires in person allows you to examine the quality of the stone and the validity of the certificate with your own eyes before making a purchase. Each jeweler will have a slightly different stock of sapphires. As a result, you may be able to find two similar designs at different prices. As with anything else, shopping at multiple stores—both online and in person—improves your odds of finding the best quality sapphire for your budget.
