Did You Know About Diastasis Recti?

Hey guys, how are we all doing? I hope your energy is still very high and you're channeling it into the right things, people and places.

Today, we'll be talking about a health issue I recently learned about. I'm still wowed at the fact that I'm just learning about it. I mean, this is something I feel I should have known especially as it affects pregnant women a lot. Pregnant women/pregnancy is "my thing". At some point in my life, I wanted to be a gynecologist, that didn't work out, thankfully, but still, I like to know all I can about it and I keep learning from the blessed ones around me. To think that no doctor has mentioned this to any of my close mothers, (and please note that I have a lot of babies so many mothers, new and old and relatively old) is quite disappointing. Let's not dwell on that too much, let's go straight into the education for the day, shall we? Let's learn about DIASTASIS RECTI.

The Hour Glass Figure

Hey guys, how are you all doing? I've been up and about trying to make the world a better place just like superman. :D, Okay, maybe not like that but I've been up and about though, trying to make my world and a few others' a better place; we have to start small "na", it's a ripple effect. Guess what? I've been enjoying a generous amount of power supply from PHCN (that's still their name right?) for a week  now, I don't know if they're back for good but I'm enjoying this and pray it stays this way. Okay, to today's topic - for a while now, ladies have been increasingly obsessed with having the perfect hour glass figure. I'm afraid that this is as a result of subtle hypnosis by the media. The thing is, I have always connected a woman's sexiness with the "figure 8" shape. By always, I mean, since I knew how to think (since I was in the womb). I don't know why or how I got that idea, I don't know if I was made to believe that or I saw it and liked it on my own, (I have many elder sisters so I may have been hypnotized too). I do know though that till date I still find that sexy, in the right proportions of course. What I don't know is why recently, ladies have gotten so obsessed with the whole shape thing that they are ready to go to extreme measures to get it. I like it so I won't say it is rubbish though sometimes I feel it is not worth the risk people take, I will say that I hope you're doing it for YOU and it gives YOU joy. I will also say, that you should choose the healthy, probably more difficult and less risky way out - diet and exercises. Yes, there are exercises to help you get that shape and I'll be sharing some of them with you today. 

Get Rid of Belly Fat

Greetings all. How are your ends of the world? At the moment, I'm super happy as my little princess turns two today. She has been with us for just two years and it feels like forever (in a good way). She is a steady joy bringer. Whatever mood I'm in, she just makes my heart smile. She makes you forget about your troubles and lets you revel in the joy of the moment. She is a smart ass, that one. My heart is filled with so much love right now and I can't thank God enough for blessing us with Hyirirhyel F Tarfa. I pray that she grows to show His light to the world and brighten it as she brightens our lives daily. I love you madly princess - stay true. 

Okay, so back to today's topic - a very common health/physical problem among both men and women today is the issue of big bellies. Did I hear someone say it is not an issue? Don't be in denial, honey. That thing is so not sexy, and more importantly, not healthy. Did you know that doctors check your waist line to determine your risk of heart disease? Topic for another day. Today, I'll be sharing some workout routines and effective recipes to help trim belly fat.
