Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Combine the ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat. Pour the mixture through a strainer to extract the seeds. Refrigerate the puree.

Answer: Place the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan. You may use fresh raspberries if they’re in season, or frozen raspberries, which are available year round and are picked and frozen at the peak of freshness. Stick with the minimum amount of sugar and lemon juice that the recipe recommends for now. More can be added to taste later if the puree turns out too tart or sweet. If you are using frozen raspberries, allow them to thaw enough to separate from one another or defrost them in the microwave before heating to make puree. Turn on the stove to low-medium or medium heat and begin heating the raspberry mixture. The sugar will begin to melt and combine with the liquid from the raspberries and lemon juice, stewing the fruit. Cook for around 10 minutes or until the raspberries begin to break down and integrate with the liquid, stirring frequently.  Cooking on too high a heat might cause the mixture to scorch. Sugar in particular has a very low burning point. Make sure there is another liquid in the pan to dissolve the sugar so that it doesn’t burn as it melts. Position a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and pour the raspberry mixture over the top. The liquid will run through the strainer while the larger solids will be trapped. Use the back of a spoon to force the remaining fruit through the strainer until only the seeds are left. This method will result in a thick puree that contains some small chunks of the stewed raspberries. Chill the finished puree until it has had time to set up. The puree will thicken on its own as it sits. Take the puree out once it is ready to be used or served. You can also serve it warm as a topping for cakes, custards and ice cream, though it will be slightly thinner than puree that has been refrigerated.  Raspberry puree will stay good in the refrigerator for a week or longer. You also have the option of freezing the puree until you need it.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Avoid making assumptions about her. Recognize that she is an individual. Ask her questions about her feelings, thoughts, and beliefs. Listen actively Pay attention to her body language. Spend time with her socially if that’s an option. Talk to other people who know her to get other perspectives. Try to put yourself in her shoes. Educate yourself about the unique issues women face.

Answer: You’ll have a hard time understanding any person if you assume that you know everything (or anything!) about them. When you’re getting to know a woman, start by letting go of any assumptions about what she is thinking or feeling. Don’t jump to the conclusion that you know anything about her life, preferences, or core beliefs.  For example, if she’s single, don’t assume that she’s lonely and looking for a relationship. Not all women are interested in being with a romantic partner.  It can be hard to recognize your own assumptions. If you find yourself thinking something about a woman in your life, stop and ask yourself: “Why do I think that? Is there any reason for me to believe that about her?” Remember, every woman is a unique and individual person, just like you. She has her own life story, circumstances, and experiences that have shaped who she is. As you get to know her, try thinking of her as a person first before looking at her gender or any preconceived notions of what a woman “should” be like. This doesn’t mean you have to ignore her gender—it’s a big part of most people’s identities, after all. Just recognize that it doesn’t totally define who she is. One of the best ways to get to know and understand any person is to talk to them. If you’re interested in understanding more about a woman, ask her questions. Just don’t make the questions too personal or invasive, especially if you don’t know her very well. For example, you might ask her things like:  “What do you like to do for fun?” “How do you feel about this issue?” “Why did you decide to go into that profession?” “What are some things you hope to accomplish one day?” to what she has to say. Asking questions and making conversation will only help you understand a woman if you really pay attention to what she says. When she speaks, make an effort to listen and make sense of what she’s saying. Then you will know how to handle her. Don’t spend the whole conversation planning what you’re going to say next. Instead, hear her out and then decide how to respond.  If you don’t understand something, try repeating it back to her in your own words or asking for clarification. For example, you might say, “It sounds like you don’t want to vote for Johnson because you don’t like his stance on environmental issues. Is that right?” Listening to someone’s words isn’t the only way to understand them. It’s also important to pay attention to her non-verbal cues, like her facial expressions and posture. When you’re spending time with a woman or conversing with her, watch what her face and body are doing.  For example, if she’s making eye contact, smiling, and letting her arms hang at her sides, she’s probably feeling comfortable and relaxed. If she’s looking at the floor and crossing her arms, she may feel nervous, shy, or preoccupied. Spending time around someone can help you understand them better. If you can hang out with the woman socially, you’ll have a chance to observe how she behaves in different situations and around different people. Depending on how well you know her and how comfortable she is with you, try inviting her to spend time with you one-on-one or in a group.  Make your invitation specific. For example, instead of a vague question like “You want to hang out sometime?” you might try, “I’m going to a trivia night with some friends on Friday. Would you like to come?” For one-on-one time, try asking her to do something low-pressure that will allow you to chat with her and get to know her a bit. For instance, you might invite her to chat over coffee or lunch. If you’re having trouble understanding someone’s behavior, sometimes it can help to talk to her other friends or acquaintances. They might be able to shed light on why she acts, thinks, or talks the way she does. For example, you could say, “You’ve known Sarah for a long time. Why does she get so annoyed whenever the topic of parrots comes up?” Developing a strong sense of empathy is an important part of understanding any person. Try to imagine yourself in her circumstances. Ask yourself what you would think and feel in the same situation. For example, you might think to yourself, “Monica seems really forgetful sometimes, but she’s working double shifts and taking care of a kid at home. She’s probably pretty overwhelmed and tired most of the time.” Even if you live in a society where the genders are legally and socially considered equal, men and women deal with their own unique problems and challenges. To understand individual women, try to look at the big picture and understand what kinds of pressures and biases they deal with that you don’t.  For example, you might read articles, books, or opinion pieces about issues such as the differences in how men and women are treated by medical personnel or the challenges that women face in the workplace. If a woman complains about the challenges and frustrations of being female, resist the urge to get defensive or dismissive. Keep an open mind and try to see things from her perspective.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Get vitamin B to reduce cramping. Incorporate foods rich in iron and vitamin C to promote clotting. Increase your magnesium intake to reduce estrogen. Ingest iron supplements.

Answer:
You need to make sure you are eating the proper nutrients to sustain your health. By eating a healthy, nutrient-rich diet you can help ensure that your menstrual cycle is regular, which may prevent heavy bleeding.  Choose healthy and nutrient-dense foods such as proteins including nuts, iron rich foods like dark green leafy vegetables, and dairy products like yogurt or cheese for calcium.  You may want to follow the Mediterranean diet, which consists of healthy food combinations of  fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and whole grains. It is low in animal fat and high in fish and vegetable oils, which some studies have shown will regulate your menstrual cycle.  Consider healthy oils and seeds such as olive and flaxseed to help relieve menorrhagia. Green beans contain high fiber and are enriched with vitamin B, which prevents abdominal cramps.  B vitamins are essential components in the conversion of excess estrogen within the liver.  It also promotes the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are an essential compound in reducing abnormal blood clots.  Choose breads and grains that are fortified with iron, Vitamin B, fiber and protein.  Vegetables such as green beans contain Vitamin B. Iron plays an essential role in the formation of red blood cells, and an iron deficiency may lead to anemia, which can cause heavy bleeding. Iron and vitamin C have a synergistic effect, with vitamin C being necessary for the effective absorption of iron. Incorporate foods containing both to help with menorrhagia.  Eat vegetables such as broccoli, kale, sweet potatoes, and spinach to help you get iron, calcium, and Vitamin C.  Eat fruits such as oranges and strawberries for Vitamin C. Prunes and dried apricots are a good source of iron. Magnesium is a vital mineral to balance female hormones such as progesterone and estrogen. Increasing your magnesium intake may help level off hormones and reduce heavy bleeding.  As magnesium concentration decreases, your estrogen level increases and results in heavy bleeding.  A good source of magnesium is rich dark chocolates. If you are suffering from anemia, you can try taking iron supplements. This may not only help cure your anemia, but also help reduce your menstrual flow.  Follow packaging instructions for taking iron supplements. You can get iron supplements at most pharmacies and many health food stores.
