Test

This is a format test only.

Symptom	Possible Cause	Treatment/Prevention
Not sure what to do	Unknown	Try the Jimbo Test. Picture three things in your mind; a cold drink, a cheeseburger, and a slice of cake. If the cold drink appeals, then you're probably thirsty/dehydrated. (Remember, drink to thirst as over-hydration kills.) If the cheeseburger appeals, then you're either after fat or salt. If the cake appeals, then you'll probably have to some carbohydrate. You can vary the items to suit your taste. For instance, if a doughnut generally appeals more than cake, then think of a doughnut instead of cake. This test is not foolproof, but it is a good, simple way of evaluating want your body probably wants.
