Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Fill the metal container with milk. Insert the wand into the jug to steam the milk. Froth the milk without a steamer. Move the wand as the milk increases in volume. Heat the milk to 140 °F (60 °C).

Answer: Remove the soy milk from the refrigerator and measure it into the metal jug. It’s important to use cold milk, because the colder temperature will help incorporate more air bubbles into the milk, resulting in a creamier and frothier latte.  To control the flavor of the latte more carefully, use an original and sugar-free soy milk. You can use any soymilk you like for this recipe, or even almond or coconut milk. Hold the jug at a 45-degree angle and place it under the steam wand. Insert the wand so the tip is just below the surface of the milk. Turn on the steam to froth the milk. Transfer the milk to a microwave-safe container with a lid. Attach the lid and shake the container vigorously to incorporate air into the milk. After about a minute, when the milk has doubled in volume, remove the lid and microwave the milk on high for 30 seconds. As the milk heats up and becomes frothy, it will expand in the jug. As it does, move the jug down so the tip of the wand is always just below the surface of the foam. Ideally, you want the milk to double in volume as you steam it. This is the ideal temperature for steamed milk. Use a thermometer for the most accurate reading, or heat the milk until the jug becomes too hot to handle. Remove the jug and wipe the steam wand with a damp towel.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day. Don’t take medications that can cause liver damage. Avoid medicinal supplements, especially if you have cirrhosis.

Answer: Heavy drinking over a long period of time can cause liver damage. If you have liver disease or cirrhosis, drinking even a small amount can worsen your condition. Tobacco and recreational drugs can also worsen liver damage. If necessary, do your best to stop using tobacco or any other drugs. Getting regular exercise can improve a range of liver disorders. Exercise can help you lose weight if you have fatty liver disease, improve your metabolism if you have cirrhosis, and help control chronic conditions that can worsen liver disease.  Aerobic exercise is especially helpful, so try to jog, run, cycle, or swim for at least 30 minutes a day 5 days per week.  If you’re not already active, talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise routine. If you have liver damage, talk to your doctor before taking any prescription or over the counter medication. For example, acetaminophen, which is the active ingredient in Tylenol and other over the counter medicines for colds and pain, can cause or worsen liver damage. It’s particular vital to avoid potentially harmful medications if you have cirrhosis, or scarred liver tissue. Taking acetaminophen and alcohol together is dangerous, even if you don’t presently have a liver condition. Never take a medicinal herb or supplement without first consulting your doctor. Medicinal herbs and supplements could worsen liver damage or interfere with liver regeneration.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Develop an exercise plan and stick to it. Start lifting weights. Try high intensity interval training. Do some cardio. Allow your body to recover between workouts.

Answer: If you're hoping to increase your testosterone levels, diet isn't the only thing to consider. Exercise is an equally important part of increasing testosterone levels, which is why you should come up with an effective, yet sustainable fitness plan designed to maximize testosterone production.  Specific types of exercise, such as weightlifting, actually cause the body to produce more testosterone. Exercising decreases your chances of being overweight and, as discussed above, being overweight can negatively impact testosterone levels.  If you're not sure where to begin, it may be a good idea to enlist the services of a personal trainer who can develop an exercise plan specifically tailored to your current fitness level, along with your desired outcome. If you want to boost testosterone, you should begin to lift weights, as weight-lifting is the most effective form of exercise for increasing testosterone production. However, for best results, you will need to lift heavier weights with fewer repetitions, and it's probably best to avoid the weight machines altogether. Stick with free weights and follow the advice below:   Lift large muscle groups. Studies show that lifting larger muscle groups, which require complex, compound movements, is much more effective for producing testosterone than working just one or two smaller muscles. For this reason, you should stick with weight exercises such as bench presses, squats, deadlifts, and shoulder presses.  Try to work out with high volume. The type of exercises you perform will mean nothing if you don't have enough volume. You should be doing at least 3 to 4 sets of each compound exercise, using a weight you can only lift 5 times per set. The volume of your workout is determined by this formula: reps x sets x weight = volume. However, when it comes down to a choice between more repetitions or more sets, you should choose more sets every time.  Focus on high intensity. Push yourself hard in the gym - only by pushing yourself to your physical limit will you maximize your testosterone production. Increase intensity by performing each exercise more slowly and by resting for no longer than two minutes between sets High intensity interval training, or HIIT, is another form of exercise which can actively increase testosterone levels, in addition to improving fitness and speeding up the metabolism.  HIIT involves performing an exercise in a short, intense burst then following it up with an easier, recovery exercise. This process is then repeated several times throughout the workout.  This type of exercising can be adapted for most types of exercise - you can perform HIIT on the treadmill, the elliptical, in the swimming pool, etc. Just use the following formula: perform the high-intensity exercise for approximately 30 seconds, then follow it up with approximately 90 seconds of slower recovery exercise. Repeat this 7 more times for best results.  Even 20 minutes of this type of exercise can reap huge rewards - so there's no excuse for not finding the time. While cardio exercise won't have a huge impact on testosterone production, it can still have a positive impact on overall testosterone levels. As a result, you should try to incorporate some running, swimming, spinning or other aerobic exercise into your fitness plan.  Cardio is one of the best ways to burn fat, so incorporating a little running or swimming into your weekly exercise plan will help you to shed any extra pounds. This is good news, as being overweight can negatively impact testosterone. When you're stressed, your body releases a chemical called cortisol which, amongst other things, inhibits testosterone production. Cardio exercise is also a great form of stress-relief so it can reduce your body's cortisol production, thus increasing testosterone. However, cardio should be practiced in moderation - there's no need to become a long-distance runner. In fact, a study conducted by the University of British Columbia found that male runners who ran more than 40 miles (64 km) per weeks had lower levels of testosterone than short-distance runners. Despite the importance of exercise, it is imperative that you give your body the time it needs to recover between workouts. Otherwise, your exercise regime may be having a negative effect on your testosterone levels.  A study conducted by the University of North Carolina found that over-training can decrease men's testosterone levels by up to 40%. Therefore, it is very important that you take at least two days off from intense exercise per week, and that you avoid working the same muscle groups in two consecutive training sessions.  On days when you're not exercising intensely, just try to be more active than usual. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk or bike to work, use a standing desk instead of sitting down all day. These small changes help to keep your body moving, which is good news for testosterone levels.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test the pH level of your drinking water using pH strips. Don’t expect great health benefits. Talk to your doctor.

Answer:
Dip the pH strip into the water but do not swirl it around or stir the water. After about 5 seconds, remove the strip from the water and wait another 5 to 10 seconds. When the pH strip changes colour, compare it to the pH spectrum to determine the pH level of your water.  Generally tap water has a pH level of around 7. Anything below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline.  Those who advocate the health benefits of alkaline water recommend a pH level of around 8.5 - 9.5. If you are hoping to improve your health and wellbeing by ionizing your water, it’s important that you spent some time scrutinizing the health claims. This is especially important if you are thinking of buying an expensive ionizing machine. Advocates of ionized water say the alkaline helps balance the acidity in other food and drink we consume, and claim that it can have marked impact on your focus and energy.  These are difficult things to quantify, however, and scientists say there is little evidence for the claims. Your body has mechanisms to keep your pH level within a narrow range on its own. Whatever pH level food or drink was at when it entered your body, it is 6.8 when it leaves.  There has been scientific studies done in Korea and Japan that argue that alkaline water helps treat and prevent diseases. Some scientists have expressed concern about the lack of clinical evidence to support the claims about ionized water. If you are interested in ionizing water, talk to your doctor for some more advice. If you are on any medication, or you are pregnant, you should always talk to your doctor first.
