It has become a common exercise for all types of people of every age group. If you have never attempted yoga, or think it is not right for you based on the images or videos you have seen, think again. There are many yoga practices you can take part in, even if you are a beginner or feel that you are not flexible enough to take on this exercise. \n\nHere are a few benefits of yoga for you to consider if you are thinking about taking on this healthy exercise. \n\n1. Improved Range of Motion \n\nIf you have issues with stiff joints and moving certain areas of your body can be troublesome, yoga can help. Popular yoga poses, such as the downward-facing dog, will require you to exhibit a good range of motion in your shoulders, hips, and ankles. These are areas where many people tend to experience pain or stiffness. Doing this exercise several times a week can help you to improve your range of motion in these areas. \n\n2. Improved Balance\n\nThere are several yoga poses that are designed to help you create a strong and stable base for your body and enhance your balance. If you are one of the many individuals who struggle with proper balance, you should give yoga a try. Several poses focus on helping you maintain an active core while you stabilize your body to achieve different movements. It can even help you focus more on grounding and stabilization which will further enhance your balance over time. \n\n3. Enhanced Posture \nOne of the primary focuses of yoga is doing every movement with the correct posture. To achieve this goal, you will need to focus your attention on noticing if you are slouching while posing. Most yoga poses emphasize aligning your bones correctly to achieve each pose. Therefore, as you improve your core strength, you will naturally start to improve your posture as well. \n\n4. Improves Muscle Tone and Strength \n\nYou can enhance your muscle tone and strength by holding weight-bearing poses that will improve your muscle tone and increase your strength as well over time. Doing so will help you move throughout everyday life with greater ease while also preventing potential injuries. ", "role": "assistant" } ]

This tradition of ice cream production slowly reached Greek and Roman empires, where ice creams were welcomed with opened hands and used liberally by Roman nobility and royalty who had necessary money to fund very expensive process of production. Sadly, after the fall of the Roman Empire, organized ice transport from mountains to the cities below stopped, and ice cream continued to be even more expensive product. Little changed in the 1000 years following the fall of Rome, and only after the Europe started exiting Dark Ages did ice cream managed to resurface in Renaissance Italy.\nDuring 13th and 14th century, Italy was center of the trade with the Middle East and Asia, and their contact with new and innovative recipes of ice cream enabled this summertime treat to slowly spread across entire Europe. This expansion of ice cream was not an easy one, and it happened only after Italian noblewoman Catherine de'Medici went to France to marry Duke de Orleans (future king of France) in 1533. There she introduced nobility of continental Europe with the wonders of the east – eating utensils, high heeled shoes and off course, ice cream. With nobility fueling its production, innovators, technicians and cooks all put their best efforts into developing the rise of ice cream popularity and availability across the world. North American street vendors started selling ice cream only few decades after France and England, and industrial revolution slowly but surely started working on elevating problems of continuous refrigeration.\nSolution to that problem came only in 1926, when continuous refrigeration finally became reality with electrical freezers. This enabled industrial manufacturers to start producing very large quantities of this frozen treat, which slashed ice creams price to the acceptable levels for everyone. Large popularity of ice cream in United States (especially during prohibition and market crash of 1930s) did not shifted to Europe until the start of the World War II. After WW2, ice cream industry received massive expansion, enabling creation of countless ice cream flavors, artificial ingredients and accessible price. Today, ice cream industry earns dozens of billions of dollars each year, with United States being the largest consumer of this phenomenal summertime treat.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Ancient Persians iced sweetened water, ground it into little pieces, and decorated it with tasty toppings and fruits.

[ { "content": "Can you rewrite this list of facts to be question and answer format?\n\nFact No. 1: Diabetes is not caused just by eating too much sugar.\nA diet full of soda, sugary foods and processed foods does increase your risk for obesity, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other diseases, but eating too much sugar is not the main cause of diabetes. The link between sugary foods and diabetes is not as simple as you might think.\n\nType 2 diabetes, the most common form of diabetes, occurs when your body is not responsive to the amount of insulin it produces. Over time, your body isn’t able to make enough insulin to maintain normal blood glucose levels. The main risk factors for this type of diabetes are being obese or overweight, or having a family history of diabetes. However, eating large amounts of sugar indirectly raises your diabetes risk by leading to weight gain and increased body fat.\n\nType 2 diabetes is typically managed with one or more of these methods:\n\nDiet\nExercise\nOral medications, injectable medications and/or insulin\nVery often, people are first diagnosed with “prediabetes.” This means they are at high risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.\n\nType 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that usually develops in children or teenagers. The pancreas can't make insulin, and this lack of insulin means glucose stays in the blood and can't get into the body's cells where it is needed for energy. A family history of diabetes can play a role in Type 1 diabetes development. Although people with Type 1 diabetes still need to be careful about how much sugar they eat, sugar does not cause Type 1 diabetes.\n\nTo help manage Type 1 diabetes, you will likely require:\n\nDaily insulin shots\nCareful carbohydrate counting\nPlanning physical activity and meals to regulate your blood glucose levels\nFact No. 2: People with diabetes can enjoy sweets.\nSweets and desserts are not off limits, but enjoying a piece of birthday cake may require some planning. Northwestern Medicine Endocrinologist Jyothi Gogineni, MD, says, “It’s a myth that people with diabetes can never eat sugar, but eating foods with sugar does involve being mindful and planning your meals.”\n\nCookies and other sweets contain carbohydrates that increase your blood glucose levels. Counting carbohydrates every time you eat is a vital part of maintaining normal blood glucose levels. It helps people with diabetes determine how much insulin to take, too.\n\nWhen planned as part of a meal, a small amount of a high-sugar food can be substituted for other carbohydrates, such as skipping an extra piece of bread or eating less pasta, rice or potatoes. It's also important to remember that swapping out real sugar with sweeteners or choosing “sugar-free” foods does not mean a food is carbohydrate free. These foods may contain sugar alcohols, which can increase your blood glucose levels and also have a laxative effect. Understanding food labels is an important tool for carbohydrate counting and meal planning, notes Dr. Gogineni.\n\nCocktails, wine and beer can also rock the carb counter. These beverages can be enjoyed in moderation but need to be accounted for in meal planning because alcohol can raise or lower your blood sugar levels. Dr. Gogineni suggests talking to your diabetes educator or physician for guidance and advice.\n\nFact No. 3: Having gestational diabetes does not mean your baby will have diabetes.\nAbout 9% of pregnant women will become insulin resistant during pregnancy and develop gestational diabetes. If you’ve never had diabetes before, you can still develop gestational diabetes during your pregnancy. Even though your pancreas is working overtime to produce insulin, it may not be enough.\n\nIt’s not your fault or your baby’s fault if you’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. And it doesn’t mean your baby will have diabetes. However, it is important to work with your obstetrician, endocrinologist, or diabetes educator to manage your diabetes. High blood sugar can cause your baby’s pancreas to produce extra insulin. This may put your baby at risk for high birth weight, low blood glucose and breathing problems, as well as obesity and Type 2 diabetes later in life. For most people, this type of diabetes goes away when the pregnancy ends.\n\nFact No. 4: Diabetes can cause a lot of emotions.\nIt’s common for people with diabetes to feel angry, depressed or anxious. After all, it can be stressful to test your blood glucose several times a day, monitor what you eat, and give yourself insulin shots or take medication every single day. It’s easy to feel different and deny the diabetes exists, and it’s easy to feel out of control, especially if your blood glucose level isn’t where you’d like it to be. Try and talk honestly and openly about how you feel with those around you.\n\nIf you see someone with diabetes experiencing any of these emotions, remember these are natural emotions that can become barriers to good self-care. Be mindful by learning as much as you can, so you are able to offer support and encouragement.\n\nAdditionally, remember that diabetes is a progressive condition. “Managing diabetes is a livelong endeavor that may require changes in medication or lifestyle,” says Dr. Gogineni. “Your care team will partner with you along the way to help you control the disease through all of the changes.”\n\nFact No. 5: It takes time to adjust to having diabetes.\nIf you or someone you love has just been diagnosed with diabetes, realize that adjustment takes time. After all, it takes a lot of finger pricking, blood testing, shot giving and self-monitoring to reach and maintain normal blood glucose levels over time. It also takes patience. Many factors come into play, including what you eat, how much you eat, how much you exercise, what time you take your medications or insulin, stress and sickness.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "1. Is eating too much sugar what causes diabetes?\nNo, Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that develops in children or teenagers. family history plays a role in someone developing the disease. Type 2 is when your body is not responsive to the amount of insulin that it produces, sugar can indirectly increase your diabetes risk by causing weight gain and body fat but does not directly cause the development of the disease.\n\n2. Are people with diabetes able to eat sweets and sugar? \nYes, these items are not off limits however it may require some planning to keep their blood glucose levels manageable.\n\n3. Does gestational diabetes (Diabetes developed during pregnancy) cause the baby to be born with diabetes?\nNo, it is common for about 9% of women to develop this condition while pregnant even if they have never had diabetes. Having this condition does not mean that the baby will be born with diabetes but it may mean they have higher risk factors for developing it later in life. It is important to speak to a doctor if this is a concern.\n\n4. Does diabetes cause someone to be more emotional? \nNot directly although having to test your glucose multiple times a day, monitor your food intake and give yourself insulin or medications every day can be stressful. The person may feel out of control of their body and this can cause them to feel angry, depressed or anxious.\n\n5. Is it easy to get used to having diabetes?\nNo, it will take time to adjust after being diagnosed.

However, if you're experiencing chronic poor sleep, you should contact your healthcare provider to identify and treat any underlying causes. In the meantime, try these suggestions:\n\n1. Set a sleep schedule and stick to it -- Healthy adults are recommended to get at least 7 hours of sleep a night, and most don't need more than 8 hours to be well rested. By going to bed and getting up at the same time every day (including weekends), you can make your body's sleep-wake cycle more consistent.\n2. Monitor your diet -- Going to bed either hungry or overly full can impair sleep quality, so you should try to avoid any heavy meals just before bed. You should also exercise caution with nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol consumption. Nicotine and caffeine take hours to wear off, and alcohol can disrupt sleep later in the night.\n3. Establish a restful environment -- Rooms that are cool, dark, and quiet are more conducive to restful sleep while light-emitting screens tend to be disruptive. You can use earplugs, room-darkening shades, fans, and white noise machines to help construct a suitable sleep space. Utilizing relaxation techniques or taking a bath can also help calm you and prepare you for a good night's sleep.\n4. Limit naps during the day -- Unless you're working nights and need to make up a sleep debt, you should avoid napping late in the day. If you do take a daytime nap, restrict it to no more than one hour to avoid interference with your nighttime sleep.\n5. Get regular physical activity -- While you shouldn't be too active close to bedtime when you're trying to wind down, being physically active as part of your daily routine can promote better rest. Spending time outside is a great way to do this and provides other health benefits as well.\n6. Reduce stress -- Lingering concerns won't do your sleep schedule any favors. One way to deal with these is to journal what's on your mind before bed so you can set it aside for the next day. Meditation can ease anxiety as well, and stress management techniques such as setting priorities, getting organized, and delegating tasks can keep your mental space clear and ready for sleep.\n\nAre you interested in learning more about any of these steps?", "role": "assistant" } ]

[ { "content": "Write four questions and answers about the above text to check for comprehension.\n\nVolcanic eruptions\nA volcano is an opening in the earth’s surface that allows magma (hot liquid and semi-liquid rock), volcanic ash and gases to escape. They are generally found where tectonic plates come together or separate, but they can also occur in the middle of plates due to volcanic hotspots. A volcanic eruption is when gas and/or lava are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively. Volcanoes provide a number of environmental benefits, for example: fertile soils, hydrothermal energy, and precious minerals.

Manned and unmanned planetary explorations, beginning in the late 1960s, have furnished graphic evidence of past volcanism and its products on the Moon, Mars, Venus and other planetary bodies.\nMarsMany pounds of volcanic rocks were collected by astronauts during the various Apollo lunar landing missions. Only a small fraction of these samples have been subjected to exhaustive study by scientists. The bulk of the material is stored under controlled-environment conditions at NASA's Lunar Receiving Laboratory in Houston, Tex., for future study by scientists.\nFrom the 1976-1979 Viking mission, scientists have been able to study the volcanoes on Mars, and their studies are very revealing when compared with those of volcanoes on Earth. For example, Martian and Hawaiian volcanoes closely resemble each other in form. Both are shield volcanoes, have gently sloping flanks, large multiple collapse pits at their centers, and appear to be built of fluid lavas that have left numerous flow features on their flanks. The most obvious difference between the two is size. The Martian shields are enormous. They can grow to over 17 miles in height and more than 350 miles across, in contrast to a maximum height of about 6 miles and width of 74 miles for the Hawaiian shields.\nVoyager-2 spacecraft images taken of lo, a moon of Jupiter, captured volcanoes in the actual process of eruption. The volcanic plumes shown on the image rise some 60 to 100 miles above the surface of the moon. Thus, active volcanism is taking place, at present, on at least one planetary body in addition to our Earth.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Volcanic activity is not exclusive to Earth.
