How To Do A Proper Kegel

So we talked about the Pelvic floor diamond before, but I wanted to show you on the model so you can sort of wrap your head around it and see it in a little bit more of a realistic position. So this is your pelvic floor and this is from the top down. These are where the muscles are, and then this is from the bottom.

In this position, the diamond that I’m referring to is the top being the pubic bone here. And then the sides being your sit bones, and then the bottom being the tailbone.

EmergenTeas For Covid-19 Pandemic

When it comes to getting creative in the kitchen, whether it’s baking, cooking, or simply just making teas, I am always about KISS – keep it super simple. Wherever I can, I recommend teas that are not too tricky to get. The botanicals I recommend here are mostly readily available in your regular groceries store. If you are in the Calgary area, you can also order dried herbs from The Apothecary in Inglewood. Enjoy!

2. In women, moderate consumption has been linked to a small decrease in risk of heart attack.
