Body Shaming
"Body Image" is the way that someone perceives their body and assumes that others may perceive them. This image can also be affected by family, friends, social pressure, and the media. People who are unhappy with their bodies are often unhappy because they don't seek healthy nutrition information, and may, therefore, develop lots of different eating disorders. "Eating disorders" are unhealthy relationships with food that may include fasting, constant dieting, or binging and purging.

Fit for Parenthood
This is the season for raising money for the Cancer charity Cancer Research UK by running, jogging or walking the Race for Life. Just over a week ago I took part in this great cause with my nine-year-old daughter. As well a being a worthwhile cause, another thing that was very apparent was how many children were taking part in the race. One way of getting fit is definitely with children.

Learning How to Breathe
I am grateful for the time that I have been able to spend breathing. It should not be a new concept, as much as it should be a well known practice. Breathing is something I was raised to believe was a practice of basic human being, for survival. Imagine my surprise when people would get upset or I would get upset, and the response of professional interventionists would be “Breathe” or “Slow down, so you can breathe.” As I continued to grow, I began to learn the value of the strength behind “air entering my lungs” and spreading oxygen through my muscles. I would feel renewed when I was able to stretch and allow my body to relax and I could take in the air to breathe, and feel the release of tension and trauma. It was like embracing stillness, which I had never been encouraged to do.

Benefits of Rest Days
"You can sleep when you're dead." Resting is not something our culture really seems to think highly of. In fact, many people tend to assume that people who take time to relax and rest up are lazy. Nowhere is this more true than in the health, bodybuilding, and weight loss communities.

An Inflammation Theory for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
There are plenty of people out there who believe that PMDD can be successfully combated with mind over matter and that we should just buck up or get over whatever it is we’re feeling. They have no idea what they are talking about nor the challenges we face.
