How to build sick pack
Biama Clarence

Everyone wants “Six Pack Abs.” While it’s not always easy to get strong, sexy abdominal muscles, you can find your inner six pack, or at least a strong, toned, and flat belly, when you combine healthy eating, with a solid fitness routine that includes endurance, strength and specific exercises for your abs and core.
In the field we manage to meet up with one of the main gym instructors in town. We will ask him a few about how to build abs easily & naturally. Interview with Amedo Chawki.
Sample:
Biama- Welcome to healthcoach and for the first time we make it sound like a reality show where we have our guest , Mr Amedo Chawki the very known gym instructor in town.
Q1- Many men would love to see their bodies muscular & their stomachs with a six pack, a thing that most women also love to see their men with. Tell us how can u move from a flat tummy to a six pack?
Amedo- Okay, Everything has a process because nothing just comes by praying but you should make an effort. The main thing is exercise daily and keep it a routine.
Biama- So can you please tell us the main work outs that can help build them up
Amedo- Common work outs include sit ups, leg swing and you should keep it a routine .
Biama- Is their any recommened food that a person should keep eating it in large quantity in order to help the muscles broaden?
Amedo- The thing here is that one should always eat a balanced diet throughout the meals and he should not skip any meal and should eat enough food for your body to keep shape.
Biama- There is this common beleif that most muscular people use steroids to build the muscles because naturally it can’t be acquired.
Amedo- Not at all, that is a misconception that has grown roots all over. People work out either at home or in the gym. Its their hard work and routine thats why they are muscular. So if someone keeps up with the exercise then why shouldn’t he be muscular?
Biama – Tell us in summary what is required for a six pack
Amedo- Work out daily, go to the gym, eat well and keep it a routine and you will be fit everywhere you want.

Myths on addiction

Host: My name is James gichuki and am joined by a rehab specialist and today’s talk is about myth of drug abuse, welcome Mr Hasan.
Guest: Thank you
Host: They are myths that are associated with drug abuse and the first one is:-
1.Addiction fails your moral
Guest: Use of drug abuse is a choice especially during at the beginning stage unless someone was drugged without their knowledge. However some people are able to use a substance multiple times without them being addicted. The brain changes caused by repeated substance making it difficult to quit. Many successful people use drug but their moral is straight and are example to many people.
Host:All people that use drugs are addict.
Guest: It is not necessary and guaranteed that a person using a particular drug is an addict. Addiction is observed through sighs that appear like changes in sleep, energy levels and decrease attendance and performance in school. One can abuse the drug but does not have any changes to identify the person to be addicted.
Host: Mr Hasan, what are the dangers does these myths cause?
Guest: Myths will always exist in any substance you abuse but the risk comes from treating a myth as a reality without questioning.
Lack of accurate information on the matters or subject on substance use can led to many negative outcomes like increased mental health complaints, risks of overdose or death and many more. This myths can scare the people who use drug, instead we advice them the truth rather than speculate.
Host:Thank you Mr Hasan for your time.
Guest:Anytime.

The procedure of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM)comprises the involvement of partial or total removal of the external female genitalia. There are some risks associated with FGM including both short term and long term consequences. The short term consequences are severe pain, shock, bleeding, tetanus or bacterial infection, urine retention, open sores in the genital region and injury to nearby genital tissue. The long term consequences including recurrent bladder and urinary tract infections, cysts, infertility, an increased risk of childbirth complications and newborn death [1-5] There are other consequences as well including death, life-long physical disability, life-long disability in sexual life, hindering natural physical movements, absence of erogenous feelings in sexual intercourse, severe pain and bleeding during and/or immediately after sexual intercourse, and cases of maternal death during delivery.In many settings where FGM is practiced it is justified because there is a natural consensus that if individuals do not perform FGM on their girls they risk being excluded,criticized, or even sigmatized . Although the government has tried to make this practice illegal communities such as the pokot disobey the law and continue to practice FGM.In order to abolish the harmful FGM/C practices, UN agencies implemented government-level advocacy initiatives and collaborative programmes with the Kenyan government and development organizations in Kenya. These indicated that assistance through joint involvement of international communities along with government could be more effective in implementation of Kenyan FGM act.

Finally, the study concluded that the girls and women did not support FGM. Although the Kenyan government has strong laws prohibiting FGM, enforcement of such laws was taking time. The study recommended that advocacy initiatives and integrated support from government, development agencies and international community to eliminate FGM.

Sex

Feel, connect, satiety

Take a minute, breath. Now take another and wipe off your sweat, we’re just at the beginning, we are not in the middle yet.
One cannot fully take pleasure without giving it, and every gesture, caress, every touch, that glance and every last bit and part of the body has its secret, which brings happiness to the person who knows how to awaken it.
We’re always hearing that we could be having better sex, a better orgasm, or a better relationship. Sex comes in a thousand different flavors. You’re not always going to have the right conditions for intimacy and that is okay. With a closer look you’ll find that to most people, sex is just about getting off, and other times about stress relief. With no effort and pressure added on your partner, these moments could emerge more often, even ‘naturally.’
It is attachment; you get affixed to them and that other person, in the moment gets to be the determiner and influencer of pain taken to pleasure granted. You drop your guard around and for them because just like most things involving more than one party, sex is a two way traffic. You give as you get. It’s more of an attention act; you’re getting intimate with someone, leave a mark. You explore them like they’re your last. Be into the deed and love their body like you’re hanging onto goodbye. Exploit all passions, all the untouched and unexpressed emotions, making it the most real and best of bed ordeals.
Minimize disruption: A buzzing phone or trying to be silent so as to be quiet is not the ideal situation, try set up yourselves up for success by creating a distraction-free, comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
Being more vocal is a great way to usher yourselves into the present moment. Give sentiments like; ‘wow, this position is hitting all the right spots for me.’ Express feelings too; ‘I love having sex with you or I feel so close to you right now.’
Eye contact is one of the fastest ways to feel intimate. Looking each other in the eye and having them return your gaze can be deeply vulnerable and connecting experience. When you try new things, it naturally prevents you from going into autopilot. Pay attention to what you’re doing, walk each other through it. It prevents boredom. Change positions; some are more conducive and intimate than others.
Have it, that after a celebration of intimacy, you two should not part without admiring one the other, without being conquered or having conquered so that neither is bleak or glutted, that none has the feeling of being used, or even worse, misused.

Let’s get cosy.

How To Keep Fit After Giving Birth

1. Keep active
After giving birth, for the first few weeks you may feel exhausted, overwhelmed and sleep-deprived. Although exercise may be the last thing on your mind, it is important to keep active. Start by walking around, whether it is in and around your house, or around the block.
2. Include your baby
Including your newborn in your exercise routine can be a great way to get fit while still being a mommy. While walking the stroller, take a break and do a few lunges.
3. Join other moms
Joining an exercise group for new moms, or other women who are eager to get back into shape, can give you the extra motivation needed to reach your fitness goals.
4. Keep track of calories and fat consumption
Try to stay away from unhealthy foods and the craving fixes you experienced during pregnancy. Focus on foods that are rich in nutrition, and remember, your body is repairing itself.
5. Breastfeed
By breastfeeding, you will burn between 600 and 800 calories a day.
6. Start slowly
Be gentle with your body in the very beginning. Weakened abdominal muscles, sheer exhaustion and the effect of relaxin (the hormone your body secretes in preparation for birth) mean your body cannot handle strenuous activity at first.
7. Take regular naps
Napping at regular intervals has been proven to help with weight control. To make sure you are not sleep-deprived, take a nap whenever your baby is sleeping, to ensure that your sleeping patterns are in sync.
“You don’t have to leave your home or your baby by going to the gym. Instead, you can work out from home by doing exercises such as pilates, yoga and even power-walking around the house, with your baby in your company.
