What is diastasis and how can the risk be reduced through exercise?

What is diastasis recti and how can it be avoided?
Diastasis recti is a separation of the rectus abdominis, due to severe tension on the abdomen. This phenomenon is common after pregnancy and is generally not dangerous, but it is not considered desirable. To avoid it, I can train throughout my pregnancy and after the birth of my baby with simple exercises.

I confront my fears to better overcome them

How do I stop being afraid?
Sometimes fears are vague or unconscious, so as soon as I feel anxious or feel that something is holding me back from doing something, I start by identifying the source of my fears. I find simple solutions to regain my composure and then I make more informed decisions that are not dictated by fear. By accepting my fears and taming them, I can even transform them into a strength and make them a driving force for movement in the right direction.

8 tips to make my positive affirmations more effective (and the secret to achieving them)

How to use positive affirmations properly
Positive affirmations are a powerful tool for positive thinking. By affirming the changes I want to see in myself every day, I gain confidence and what I repeat to myself eventually becomes reality. I rely on consistency to reprogram my mind to optimism and, most importantly, I back this up with concrete action: I formulate a clear intention and then use my positive mantras to help me achieve my goals by overcoming my limitations.

The best ways to lose weight according to science

How can I lose weight healthily and sustainably, according to science?
Research shows that you need to spend more calories than you consume to lose weight. Low-calorie, fat-free diets are less effective than a balanced diet rich in protein. Sleep and activity are also crucial to weight loss: a programme combining cardio, weight training, HIIT and mindfulness is optimal.

My nutrition guide: What to eat before and after your workout

What should you eat before and after training?

Before training, I prefer low glycemic index carbohydrates, so that I have energy for a long time. I avoid eating too much
fat, sugar and spices and ideally wait two hours between a meal and exercise. After a workout, proteins and healthy fatty
acids help me recover well, and I also rely on antioxidants by including fruit and vegetables in my diet.
