article: If your diet is high in salt, it can contribute to swollen feet. When you have too much salt, your body holds on to it, and in the process, also holds on to extra water, which can contribute to swelling.  In addition to the feet and ankles, your face and hands can also be puffy when eating a high-salt diet. Most processed foods (such as canned foods, frozen dinners, and salad dressings) are high in salt (sodium), so buy more fresh produce and meats from the grocery store and prepare them at home.  Store-bought products especially high in sodium include canned tomato and pasta sauces, soups, salsas, crackers, pickled veggies, lunch meat, and even cheeses. Check the label for the sodium content, and look for words like "low-sodium." Even some fresh meats may be injected with salt and water.  Compare brands. Some brands will have less salt than others.  Your dietary sodium intake should be between 1,500 mg and 2,300 mg per day, depending on your gender and size. Because weight can contribute to swelling, losing weight can help with swelling in your legs. Try changing up your diet so you're eating more fruits and vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains, while slowing down on empty sugar calories. Incorporating a diet change with an increase in exercise can speed up the process. When you have tight clothing around your thighs, it can limit circulation. Therefore, try to skip garters and other types of clothing that may restrict circulation. Wearing compression stockings can help decrease the fluid in your legs. Basically, it wraps around your leg, giving it the support it needs to keep fluid from pooling there. You can find compression stockings online, at medical supply stores, and sometimes at your pharmacy. If you're having trouble with swollen feet, you probably need a new pair of shoes to help with your treatment. Change to shoes that grip your heel, provide enough room to wiggle your toes, and have good arch support. The best time to try on shoes is in the afternoon, as your feet will be the most swollen then; that way, you can get shoes that fit you all the time, even when your feet swell more. If your shoes are too tight, they can cut down on blood flow, as well as cause other problems with your feet, such as light sprains. Work on you legs by rubbing up from your feet towards the top of you body; you just need to work on your ankles and calves. Don't rub so hard that you cause yourself pain, but do it firmly. This type of massage can help reduce fluid near your ankles and feet.

article: Acupressure is a therapy developed over 5,000 years ago in Asia that is important in Chinese medicine. It uses specific finger placement and pressure along pivotal points on the body. Acupressure most commonly uses the fingers, especially the thumbs, to massage, rub, and stimulate the pressure points. However, elbows, knees, legs, and feet can also be used.  The points are thought to be arranged along channels, called meridians. According to Asian medical philosophy, stimulating these areas can release tension and increase blood flow.  The popular massage technique of Shiatsu massage is a form of Asian Bodywork Therapy from Japan. Like a massage, acupressure is thought to cause deep relaxation and a decrease in muscle tension. The technique is also used to relieve pain. People use acupressure to help with nausea and vomiting, headaches, back and neck pain, fatigue, mental and physical stress, and even addiction. It is believed that acupressure and other Asian body therapies correct imbalances and blockages of the flow of vital energies through our bodies.  Many Western spas and massage services have started offering acupressure massage. While many people are skeptical of acupressure's efficacy, many doctors, practitioners, and advocates of holistic health believe in the positive effects of acupressure. For example, researchers at the UCLA Center for East-West Medicine study the scientific basis of acupressure while providing explanations and practical applications of the techniques.  Licensed acupressurists attend formal training programs, either at special acupressure and acupuncture schools, or through massage therapy programs. These programs include study of anatomy and physiology, acupressure points and meridians, Chinese medicine theory, technique and protocol, and clinical studies. To become a licensed acupressurist generally requires up to 500 hours of schooling, less if a person already has a massage therapy license. There are hundreds of pressure points through our bodies. Some of the common ones are:  Hoku/Hegu/Large Intestine 4, which is the webbing between your thumb and forefinger. Liver 3, which is the soft flesh between your big toe and your second toe. Sanyinjiao/Spleen 6, which is on the lower calf. Many pressure points are called by multiple names, and sometimes designated by an abbreviation and number, like LI4 or SP6. Acupressure has been attributed to helping pregnant women with morning sickness and nausea, with alleviating back pain, with pain management during labor, and with naturally inducing labor. Though acupressure is safe to use during pregnancy, always use caution. You may want to contact your physician, a doula who practices acupressure, or a licensed acupuncturist or acupressurist before trying it on yourself. All pressure points connected to inducing labor should be avoided on a pregnant woman until after 40 weeks. There is a risk of applying pressure to the points that induce labor too early causing problems.

Use a car. Talk to mutual friends about other options. Venture into the outdoors. Look for another indoor space. Be aware of the risks."

Know their schedules, and plan for a time when they will be away for a least a few hours. Make sure that there's a large enough window before you get too excited. Listen for talk of date nights, weekend events, and movie plans. These are usually good for about 3-5 hours of parental absence during which you can plot your own secret rendezvous. If they ever go out of town and leave you in charge, you’ve hit the jackpot. This is probably the easiest option.  If your parents won't let you go over to a partner's house, you can always lie and claim to go to a friends house or out shopping, however, this could cause more trouble in the long run. You never know when a perfect opportunity is going to appear. If you and your partner are raring to go, you should be ready to jump on the chances that you get. Having sex in a car is doable as long as you can find a secluded place to park. This option might be a bit cramped, but it certainly can be done. If you live in a rural area, try pulling over on a country road. Business parks are usually fairly deserted on weekends and after hours. You can also try to hide in plain sight with lots of other cars around in a big parking lot.  Try to avoid parking near buildings or businesses. Otherwise, make sure to look out for security cameras, and make sure to read any signs that indicate you're not supposed to be there. You don't want to draw the attention of police or security guards! Keep in mind that many public places are closely monitored at night, when people have less reason to come and go. If this is your only option, try to do it during the day if you want to avoid suspicion from police, park rangers, and security guards. You might be able to arrange for some privacy at a social gathering or the house of someone whose parents are less uptight than yours. It’s a long shot, but totally worth looking into. Remote natural settings like parks and forests are usually good places to get some alone time. Pack a picnic with food, drinks, and blankets, and hike around together in search of secluded spots. Make sure to pick a place that is safe and private.  If you know of a good spot already, feel free to take your romantic liaison there. Perhaps there is a "make-out point" near your community; maybe you know about an old treehouse in the woods, or a quiet place where no one goes. Make sure that your partner is up for roughing it. Not everyone is comfortable with the great outdoors. Make your intentions clear beforehand. Book a cheap motel room, if you can afford it. Take your partner to an unused or low-traffic room at school, at work, or at another community building. Perhaps you have the key to a storage room at your school or at your work, or maybe you know about a corner in the church basement that no one ever checks. Try to think outside the box! It is illegal to have sex in many outdoor and public spaces. It is illegal to have sex with a minor (younger than age 16, 17, or 18 in the U.S.) if you are legally an adult. Make sure that you understand the consequences! If you are caught violating these laws, you might be arrested or fined, and legally labeled a sexual predator.  Check the legal age of consent for your state or country. If you live in the U.S., the age of consent may be 16, 17, or 18, with a corresponding "acceptable difference between ages". If the age of consent for your state is 18, this means that sex with anyone younger than 18 is illegal – even if you are 18 and your partner is 17, or if you are 17 and your partner is also 17. Many teenage lovers have been branded sexual predators over the years. This label follows you into adulthood: you have to register as a sex offender whenever you move to a new address, and you may not be allowed to live within a certain radius of a school. Whether the law is fair or the law is blind, you should be aware of the consequences of what you're doing!
