Article: Some of the foods you should avoid include bananas, tomato sauce, beet greens, clams, prunes, avocado, oranges, as well as cooked broccoli and cooked spinach. Avoid brown rice and pasta as well as other whole grains (like bran). Instead, substitute white rice and bread as these are lower in potassium. You can also incorporate fruits like berries and grapes; for vegetables, you can enjoy kale, cauliflower, and corn. Lean proteins are compatible with a low potassium diet as long you eat them in smaller portions. If you prepare chicken, turkey, and pork, keep your consumption limited to fist-sized helpings. Many packaged foods will add potassium chloride as a substitute for salt. This is an especially dangerous ingredient to consume if you are trying to lower your potassium levels. If you buy frozen dinners or canned tomato sauces, make sure you check the ingredient list to ensure it is not included. Leaching is not effective at completely removing potassium from high potassium foods and it should only be used occasionally. However, if you are craving a food that is particularly high in potassium, you can use this method to help reduce your total intake of potassium. You can apply this method for potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and winter squash.  Peel and place the vegetable in cold water so they won’t darken. Slice vegetables so they are 1/8 inch thick. Then rinse in warm water for a few seconds. Soak vegetables for a minimum of two hours in warm water. The amount of water used for soaking should be ten times greater than the amount of vegetables. If soaking longer, change the water every four hours. Rinse vegetables under warm water again for a few seconds. Cook vegetable with five times the amount of water to the amount of vegetables.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Eliminate foods that are high in potassium. Incorporate low-potassium foods into your diet. Eat more lean proteins. Avoid packaged foods. Leach out potassium from food.

Problem: Article: Bend over at the waist, keeping your knees loose. Exhale completely. Now inhale deeply as you slowly rise to a standing position.  Once your lungs are filled with air, hold your breath for 10 seconds and exhale slowly. Do this at least 5 times. This helps lungs adapt to storing more oxygen and allows good gaseous exchange without getting breathless. Another exercise involves controlling your muscles. Take a deep breathe, then close your eyes and hold it. The less you move, the longer you can hold your breathe for. Try to count to 100 in your head. This may be difficult at first, so just hold your breath for as long as you can, then gradually increase your time. Hold your breath for 5 seconds and then exhale slowly. This helps to increase your lungs' muscle strength. This also increases your inhaling capacity by allowing the alveoli (respiratory sacs) to coil and recoil. The best way for you to breathe is in through your nose with your mouth closed. This is important, because this will warm and moisturize the air you are breathing in. Cold, dry air can trigger a COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or asthma attack. Purse your lips as you breathe out.
Summary: Stand with your feet apart while you breathe deeply. Practice holding your breath. Inhale for five seconds. Practice controlled breathing while exercising.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Drawing connections between a reading and something that is familiar to you can also help you to retain more of the information. Try to draw connections between your existing knowledge and new concepts as you read. For example, if you are reading about a new concept in a biology textbook, try to relate it to a concept that you already understand. Another way to improve your reading comprehension is to look up words that are unfamiliar to you. If you do not understand a word, then it can make an entire sentence confusing. Take a moment to look up new words as you read. Try keeping a vocabulary journal where you record and define any words that are unfamiliar to you. You can also improve your reading comprehension by reading a text in smaller chunks and giving yourself breaks. For example, you could follow the Pomodoro system suggestion to take a quick break every 25 minutes. Set a timer for 25 minutes, read until it goes off, and then take a five minute break.  Another option is to set a goal for how many pages you want to read. You could set a goal to read 10 pages and then give yourself a five minute break after you have done that. Try getting up and walking around or stretching for a few minutes during your breaks. You can also check your social media profile, watch a short video, or look up something that has been on your mind. Reading out loud is an effective strategy for teaching literacy skills to children. Children can understand more complex stories and information when they hear it than when they read it silently. Reading out loud is also extremely helpful for editing your writing. Therefore, reading a text out loud may help you to make connections, understand a difficult text, and retain more of what you read. You don’t have to read the entire text out loud, but reading certain passages out loud may be helpful. For example, if a passage is confusing, or if you are having trouble staying focused, then reading out loud for a few paragraphs may help.

SUMMARY: Connect the reading to something familiar. Define new words as you read. Complete the reading in small chunks. Try reading out loud.

Throughout your day, walk rather than ride or drive when you can. If you drive somewhere, park at the far end of the parking lot and walk to the building to get some extra steps in. For example, you could walk around the building when you're waiting for an appointment, rather than sitting in a waiting room flipping through a two-year-old magazine. Typically if you tell the receptionist you're going for a walk, they'll let you know about how long it will be. Getting at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night can help lower your stress levels and improve the functioning of your immune system. You'll also likely find that your productivity during the day will improve, since you'll think more clearly and find it easier to concentrate. While you sleep, your brain releases chemicals that affect your heart rate, blood pressure, metabolism, and digestion. Alcohol and caffeine can wreak havoc on any diet and exercise plan. They are also diuretics that can cause dehydration and other physical problems, particularly if you consume significant quantities on a regular basis.  If you exercise regularly, eat well, and get plenty of sleep, you'll likely find that you don't need as much caffeine to get through the day. Sleep gives your body a chance to renew all systems and repair any damage done throughout the day. Too much screen time negatively affects both your physical and mental health. Try to go one day a week without turning on electronic devices or watching television. If you can't do it for a whole day, at least try to give yourself a few hours to unplug. You might also set aside 30 minutes to an hour each day to unplug. Put on some soft music and read a book or meditate.
