Article: Some people only drink milk or coffee in the morning, but adding at least one glass of water will help to increase your hydration in the morning. You can keep a water bottle beside your bed if that makes it easier to remember to drink it. Water bottles are cheap to buy and can be carried to work, to school, or whenever you are away from the house for several hours. Some have marks for reading how many milliliters or fluid ounces of liquid you have, so that you can keep track of how much you have been drinking.  A common recommendation is to drink at least 8 eight ounce glasses of fluid daily, and more if you are exercising or out in the hot weather. However, men need an average of 13 eight ounce glasses of fluid and women need an average of 9 eight ounce glasses of fluid every day.  Or, you can also divide your body weight in half and drink that amount of water in ounces. For example, if you weigh 160 pounds, then you would need to drink 80 ounces of water per day. When you are thirsty, your body signals that it already has a lack of fluid. To stay hydrated, you should drink water often enough to keep this from happening. As you age, your thirst receptors will become less effective at sensing your body's need for hydration, so it is a good idea to get into the habit of sipping water throughout the day. In addition to drinking before you get thirsty, you should also check your urine as an indication of whether you are staying hydrated enough. People who are consuming adequate fluids will have plenty of clear, light yellow urine. On the other hand, those who are dehydrated will have less urine that is a darker yellow as it is more concentrated. Caffeine and alcohol make your body lose its fluids more rapidly, and sugar in drinks, even orange juice, is not ideal for hydration purposes. Instead, aim to drink more water. Even though water may be less tasty or appealing at the outset, it is better for your body's overall health.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Drink some water when you first get up in the morning. Carry water on you at all times. Drink water before you get thirsty. Monitor your urine as a sign of your hydration status. Limit caffeinated, alcoholic, and sugary drinks.
Article: The best way to prevent getting vaginal thrush, also known as a yeast infection, is to clean your vaginal area on a regular basis. Washing it once a day while showering or bathing can keep it clean but not dried out or irritated. Using irritating products in your vaginal area can cause the skin to get inflamed and more prone to infection. For example, products that have a lot of perfumes, such as heavily-scented moisturizers or cleaners, can irritate the vaginal area.  Avoid using heavily-scented soaps, shower gels, douches, or deodorants in your vaginal area. You should also avoid using latex products in your vaginal area if you have a sensitivity to them. To keep your vaginal area healthy, it's a good idea to wear underwear made of breathable material and to make sure that the underwear is not too tight. This allows for air circulation that can help to minimize fungal development.  Underwear made of cotton or silk are good choices.  There is special underwear made for people with eczema that can work well for preventing thrush. These can be purchased from online retailers. You can also go without underwear while you're at home, though you should use a towel or blanket to cover the area where you sit. Many people use probiotic supplements and the live cultures in yogurt as a preventative treatment for yeast infections. Since medical researchers are still looking into the effectiveness of these supplements, talk to your doctor about whether they’re right for you.  Always talk to your doctor about probiotics and yogurt while taking antibiotics. L. acidophilus is the probiotic supplement that is most commonly used to prevent vaginal thrush. It is typically available at health food stores and from online retailers. If you are eating yogurt to minimize your risk of a thrush infection, be sure that it is labeled as having "live cultures." This will ensure that is has the good bacteria that you want. There are some risk factors that can increase your likeliness of getting thrush. If you have 1 or more of the risk factors you should be especially careful about keeping your vaginal area clean and cared for. The risk factors include:  A previous yeast infection. Your menstrual cycle. Pregnancy. A compromised immune system. Uncontrolled diabetes. Taking antibiotics. Intercourse without proper lubrication.

Keep your vaginal area clean. Avoid using potential irritants. Wear underwear that is made of breathable, natural fabrics. Talk to your doctor about whether to eat probiotics and yogurt. Be cautious if you have risk factors for getting vaginal thrush.
Article: Just about any spicy materials will keep rabbits away. Always dilute them in soapy water to minimize harm, and so they will stick to the plant. Here are appropriate amounts to add to 1 gallon (4 liters) water:  Five to eight cloves crushed garlic 1–2 tsp (5–10 mL) crushed red pepper A few grinds of black pepper A mixture of the above may work best of all. Rabbits dislike the smell of raw eggs, although they may get used to it over time. Shake the egg in a spray bottle with a wide nozzle and spray it onto the plants or around the border to your garden. This may attract other pests, such as ants. These are available from gardening supply stores, for sprinkling on the soil around plants. Made from ground animal parts, they may keep rabbits away. These break down quickly when wet, so they are more effective in dry conditions.  Blood meal adds nitrogen to the soil, promoting green, leafy growth. Apply only during the growing season, and never to legumes.  Bone meal adds phosphorus to the soil, promoting root health. This is usually not necessary in home garden soil, and may even be detrimental if phosphorus is already high. Do not apply to Protea plants. Spraying predator urine around a garden can keep rabbits and other prey animals away. How effective this is varies greatly depending on predator species, rabbit species, diet of the predator, and other difficult-to-find variables. Unfortunately, research on this topic is limited, but coyote and fox urine are the most commonly used options. You may wish to research the company before buying the product, to find out whether the urinating animals were humanely treated. Most of these products use similar ingredients to those described above. Check the label for information on weather resistance, since this is the main advantage over home solutions. This is usually an unreliable solution, and requires either replacing all tasty plants or planting a barrier around the entire garden. Some plants will still be eaten by young rabbits, or certain rabbit species.  Ideally, get specific advice from a local university extension, to find plants that grow in your climate and deter rabbit species in your area. Yarrow, foxglove, digitalis, lilac, elderberry, and yucca have all been described as rabbit-proof plants — but again, this is no guarantee.

Use other spicy materials. Consider raw eggs. Try blood meal or bonemeal. Purchase predator urine. Try commercial organic products. Plant rabbit-resistant plants.
