Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat lots of protein. Eat a lot of calories. Drink plenty of water. Sleep well.

Answer: Protein is the main muscle builder in your food, so eat plenty, but not so much that you cut out carbohydrates, fat and other body fuels. Protein should be the foundation of each of your meals when you're trying to build muscle.  Choose hormone-free meat whenever possible. Eat lean beef, chicken, pork, fish, and other healthy protein sources, like eggs and tofu. Protein supplements, like  creatine, can help muscle building as well. When your goal is to get bigger pecs and abs, you need a lot of fuel. That means eating five meals a day, not three, while you're in intense workout mode. You'll probably find it easy to eat this much when you're working out all the time. Be sure to stock up on healthy food so you never end up going hungry.  Don't eat a lot of empty calories from refined carbohydrates, sugar and trans fats. Stay away from snack food and fast food. Instead, eat wholesome, high-calorie foods that fill you up and nourish your body. Get plenty of fruits and vegetables with every meal. Eat beans, brown rice, yogurt, whole grains, nuts, avocados, olive oil, and other nutritious foods. It's important to stay hydrated when you're working out and eating a lot of calories. Aim for 10 glasses of water a day, rather than the commonly recommended 8. Resting is just as important as working out when it comes to building muscle. Get 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night, and on your rest days, do no more than a light walk, jog or another low-intensity activity.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Consider your reasoning. Focus on kindness, not on being "right. Assess your own prejudices. Learn about different kinds of prejudice. Interact with those different than you. Don't be afraid to ask.

Answer: Why is this important to you? What are your beliefs about being politically correct? You may wish to write it down, or simply make a list in your head. Exploring your reason will help you commit to a decision and discover your priorities.   You won't automatically gain points for being "correct." This isn't a math test. You are allowed to say whatever you want to say. Similarly, other people are allowed to voice disagreement, and free speech won't protect you from the consequences of your words. Your voice is your choice. No one is an angel. You will slip up sometimes, and that's normal. What's most important is that you make an effort, apologize if you hurt someone, and listen to others. " The phrase "politically correct" is misleading, because the spirit of what you're doing is being respectful and kind, not on imposing rules. Recognize that words can hurt, and can tie into countless other hurts that people may have experienced. Focus less on yourself and your own word use, and more on the impact your words have on others.   The goal isn't to censor people, it's to encourage people to be kind. The goal isn't to be right, but to not be a jerk, especially to people who have faced more than their fair share of hardship and jerks.  Instead of asking "am I politically correct?" ask "am I being caring and respectful towards others?"  Recognize that free speech goes both ways. Your professor has the right to go on a racist tirade online... and you have the right to screenshot that tirade, post it on social media, and say "she should be fired." Just like people have the right to be horrible jerks, you have the right to respond to that. It's not that people are "too sensitive." It's more about being nice. After all, there's a difference between "don't step on his foot because he's a sensitive, whiny crybaby" and "watch your step because it hurts him when you step on his foot, and his foot is broken because people keep treading on it, so he could really use a break." Consider any conscious or unconscious prejudices you may hold. This can also include stereotypes you believe about groups of people. If you are aware of any negative feelings or stereotypes you hold towards individuals or groups, it will help you adjust your language and behavior towards your goal of being a respectful person.   There are a few ways to assess your own prejudices. What do you think when you hear an ethnic last name? What is your first instinct if you learn someone is gay or transgender? Being honest about your initial reactions can help you identify your prejudices.  Besides acknowledging your prejudices, one excellent tool to identify any negative feelings you might need to work on is the Implicit Association Test (IAT). You can find this psychological test online to determine your prejudices. Understanding the prejudice in your society and around the world can help open your eyes. Learning about the struggles of others different than you can help you reevaluate your own preconceived notions. Education is an excellent way to overcome prejudices, understand those different than us, and become politically correct.   Individuals and groups are discriminated against for many different reasons including race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, culture, and socio-economic status. If you're unsure of these groups, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has information on groups who experience discrimination. Taking a course at a university or doing some research online can help you learn more about prejudice. Stepping outside of your comfort zone is an important step for gaining awareness. Being politically correct doesn't just mean being mindful of what you say. It also means learning about those different from you and respecting those differences. Reach out, interact, talk, and befriend those who have a different background than you.  Find coworkers or classmates who are different from you. Ask those people from a different ethnicity, religion, sexuality, or country to go to lunch. If you're not that close, just start a conversation with them. You can talk about your differences, but you may be surprised how much you have in common. Find culturally diverse events and experiences. Developing your thoughts and understanding that all people are equal through interactive learning will foster a respectful attitude. Especially if you are a member of a privileged group, you may not understand the lived experiences of oppressed groups. This can be counteracted by asking questions and listening closely to the answers.   Check a search engine to see if any writers have answered your question online. Keep your questions respectful and not too personal. "What pronouns should I use when referring to you?" and "Do you know of any good online resources where I can learn more about transgender issues?" are both reasonable questions. "What do your genitals look like?" is a very private question that should only be asked if you want to have sex with them, or you are a doctor and you need to know for medical reasons..


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Check to see if your TSH reading is in the normal range. Interpret the possible meanings of a high TSH reading. Look out for signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Evaluate the possible meaning of a very low TSH reading. Take note of signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Use your TSH value to monitor ongoing thyroid treatment.

Answer:
The first thyroid test that is generally taken by physicians is the TSH. TSH stands for "Thyroid Stimulating Hormone," which is created by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid to create and release hormones T4 and T3.  TSH can be thought of as the metaphorical "engine" of the thyroid gland, in that it determines the amount of thyroid hormone that is synthesized and then released from the thyroid into the body. A normal value for TSH is between 0.4 – 4.0 mIU/L.  If your TSH is in this range, that is a good sign; however, a normal TSH value does not completely rule out thyroid problems. TSH values on the high end of normal can indicate potential thyroid problems that are evolving. Most thyroid problems require two or more tests to detect and diagnose, given the complex interplay of the various hormones that contribute to thyroid function. Your doctor may order more tests, even if your TSH is normal, if he still suspects that you may have a thyroid problem. TSH tells the thyroid to produce more T4 and T3, which are the hormones released from the thyroid (at the command of TSH) to act throughout the body. If your thyroid is underactive, then it is not releasing enough much T4 and T3, and so your pituitary gland will release more TSH to try and compensate.   Thus, a high TSH may be a sign of hypothyroidism (a condition in which your thyroid gland is producing insufficient amounts of hormones). You will need further testing, however, to further investigate and to confirm such a diagnosis. In addition to a high TSH reading, hypothyroidism also presents with many clinical indications. Tell your doctor if you are experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms, which may be suspicious for hypothyroidism:  Increased cold sensitivity Fatigue Unexplained weight gain Unusually dry skin Constipation Muscle aches and stiffness Joint pain and swelling Depression and/or other mood changes A slower than normal heart rate Thinning hair Changes to your menstrual cycle Slowed thinking or speaking On the other hand, if you have a very low TSH reading, it may be your body's response for your pituitary to produce less TSH due to an excess of thyroid hormone in the body (T3 and T4). As such, a low TSH may be an indication of hyperthyroidism (excess production of thyroid hormone).  Again, further blood tests will be required to confirm such a diagnosis. A TSH reading alone can point your physician down a certain path, but in itself it is usually not diagnostic. Hyperthyroidism presents with many clinical indications, in addition to a low TSH reading. Tell your doctor if you are experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms that may be indicative of hyperthyroidism:  A faster than normal heart rate Unexplained weight loss Increased appetite Sweating A tremor, often in your hands Anxiety, irritability, and/or other mood changes Fatigue More frequent bowel movements An enlarged thyroid gland (which can be felt in your neck, and is called a "goiter") Trouble sleeping Eyes that bulge or protrude more than they normally do (this sign is present in a certain type of hyperthyroidism called Grave's disease — specifically, the eye abnormality is called "Grave's ophthalmopathy") If you have been diagnosed with a thyroid disorder and are receiving ongoing treatment for it, your doctor will likely advise that you receive regular TSH tests to check in on and confirm the effectiveness of your treatment. Ongoing monitoring can also ensure that your TSH level is within the target range.  The treatment for hypothyroid and hyperthyroid conditions are very different. The target range for thyroid treatment is normally a TSH between 0.4.–4.0 mIU/L, although this may vary depending upon the type of thyroid disorder you have. You will likely receive more frequent monitoring at the start of your treatment, until you settle into a routine where your TSH becomes quite consistent (at which point less frequent monitoring may be appropriate, usually about once every 12 months).
