What Happens During the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) Procedure?

Image
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty , or ESG for short, is an innovative and still relatively new type of obesity treatment capable of reducing the size of the stomach without the need for surgical intervention. The fact that there are no incisions and wounds involved in the procedure makes it significantly safer and less risk-prone than in the case of traditional open surgeries or even laparoscopic procedures. This results in a much shorter recovery time and enables patients to go back to their normal life even one day after their surgery as long as they avoid exerting themselves excessively. Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty: What Does the Procedure Involve? It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed under general anaesthesia. The stomach reduction is achieved by inserting an endoscope with a camera and a suturing device into the stomach through the throat. Once inside the organ, the surgeon sutures part of the stomach giving it a sleeve-like shape and a much smaller capacity compared ...

Why Women Love a Funny Guy

Image
Have you ever noticed that most of the big comedians have stunningly beautiful wives and long, happy marriages? It’s no coincidence, but for some people, the reason could be a secret. Women really do love men who can make them laugh, which is why some of the best relationships are those where two people make each other laugh a lot. Here are a few reasons why women will fall for the guy who knows how to tell a good joke. 1. Feeling at Ease When someone laughs, their body releases chemicals that make them feel good. One of the feelings caused by these chemicals is a feeling of being at ease. They feel relaxed and happy. This can help relieve feelings of tension, stress, anxiety, anger, and other negative emotions. It can help get rid of the fear as well, so using มุขเสี่ยว with a new relationship can help break the ice. If one person is feeling uncomfortable in a new relationship, the other person can use humor and jokes to ease them into feeling more relaxed. This can help get rid...

Hey hey! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? It’s scorching hot here, so I told the kids that they can swim and they’re PUMPED. We also have a soccer game, a bday party, a carnival at the kid’s school, and I’m teaching barre and training clients. It will be a busy but fun one. 🙂 I hope you have an amazing weekend, too!

She is the BIGGEST snuggle bug and loves being held like a baby. She loves ...

A sample day of balanced eats from an RD

Image
Not sure how to balance your plate or what a balanced and nutritionally-dense day of eats looks like? Here are some ideas from a Registered Dietitian.  Hi friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful morning! I’m off to the girls’ school for a couple of hours, catching a workout, and then putting the final touches on next month’s Fit Team workouts. I hope you have an amazing day! For today’s post, I’m sharing a sample day of balanced eats! Balancing a plate is something that took me a while to figure out. When I was just getting started in my health journey, I was eating a lot of lonely carbs and skimpy meals, which often left me feeling hungrier and more tired throughout the day. I finally learned how to incorporate protein, veggies, carbs, and healthy fats in my plate, and noticed that I had much more energy, I felt satisfied, and FINALLY saw results and fitness gains. I also learned the power of having REAL meals instead of micro-meals throughout the day. A 500-600 calorie breakf...

See How Easy It Is To Update Kids’ Bedrooms With Removable Wallpaper

Image
Kids grow up so fast, and their bedroom is no longer suitable before you know it. Maybe they’ve outgrown the theme, or the color scheme no longer suits them. But rather than go through the hassle of completely renovating the room, why not try using removable wallpaper instead? It is a very easy and affordable way to change the look of a space without compromising on anything. Moreover, when your child eventually moves out, you can simply take down the wallpaper and strip the paint off without any damage being done to the walls. So if you’re searching for a quick and easy way to update a kids’ bedroom, removable wallpaper is worth considering! Choose The Right Type Of Wallpaper There are three different types of wallpaper. Choose the right type, and you’ll make application and removal a breeze. Non-flowing The first type of paper is plain paper without glue. It means that your wallpaper is dry, and you will need to apply glue before sticking it to the wall. This type of wallpaper ...

Steps You Should Follow for a Healthy Skincare Routine

Image
Having great skin is not just a blessing of genetics. Your lifestyle choices, habits, and skincare routine also have a crucial impact on your skin health and the way it feels. It is very important for you to have a healthy skin care routine. However, just buying so many products will not give the perfect skincare routine. The first thing is to understand your skin and its needs because caring for your skin is simply personal. The majority of the women who want to follow a skincare routine have so many questions, such as: What type of products do I need to use? Which products will suit my skin type? From where can I get good quality skincare products? In what order do I need to use these products? What is the function of each product? The good thing is many stores are manufacturing high-quality skincare products for their customers. You can check out the best skincare stores like Trulykomal or connatural and buy a full skincare regime for yourself. However, just buying the ...

Unmatched Women Fashion Tips for Amazing Presence

Image
Color blocking elevates the use of colors in fashion to a whole new level. Are you looking to utilize color to bring out the most spectacular version of yourself? Take out your color wheel! The following are six (6) straightforward suggestions to get you started! 1: Choose two (2) complimentary hues. Decide on a maximum of three colors and stick to them. An effective and sassier style is achieved by using two colors rather than several colors, which may result in a vibrant and disorderly jumble of hues and tones. Colors of the same hue should be grouped to create a harmonious ensemble. Sort the bright colors from the drab colors. Everything else, such as your jewelry, shoes, purse, and other accessories, should be done in neutral colors. A greater contrast between the two hues results in a more fun and refreshing ensemble. A lower level of contrast creates a more refined atmosphere. 2: Choose one that complements your skin tone, eyes, and hairstyle. Choose colors that are oppos...

All About AI: What Is a Neural Network?

Image
Neural networks, also called artificial neural networks (ANNs) or simulated neural networks (SNNs), are a subset of machine learning and the core of deep-learning algorithms. Neural networks are designed like the human brain to mimic the way that biological neurons signal each other. Artificial neural networks are made up of node layers that contain an input layer, one or more hidden layers, and an output layer. Each node, or artificial neuron, connects to another node and has an associated weight and threshold. When the output of any individual node is higher than the specified threshold value, the node is activated and sends data to the next layer of the network. Without this activation, no data is passed along to the next layer. Neural networks learn and improve their accuracy through the use of training data. Finely-tuned learning algorithms are powerful tools in computer science and artificial intelligence, helping to classify and cluster data at high speeds. Simple tasks in spe...

5 Important Pieces of Evidence in an Injury Claim

Image
An injury can happen to anyone at any time. If you’re injured, you need to call a lawyer as soon as possible. You may also want to consider filing a claim. According to capazlaw.com , claims can help you get financial compensation for the pain and suffering that you’ve suffered. However, before you can file a claim, you need to gather some important pieces of evidence. Photos and Videos As www.bbjlawyers.com explains, photos and videos taken by witnesses or you are a crucial part of your case. You need to preserve evidence that proves the cause of your injury, whether it be from what happened or from any witnessed behaviors. For example, you get into a car, wake up hours later in a hospital bed with no memory, and can’t tell the doctor what happened. Photos are evidence that supports your claim that you were injured. Medical Reports According to the NHTSA , medical reports are important to bring with you when contacting doctors and law offices due to their appraisal of your condi...

Our Guide To Reducing Muscle Soreness And Aches

Image
Alleviating pain in your body can be tough, and you might find that some of your usual methods aren’t working. Some people like to try natural remedies as well. In the UK, manuka honey is a very common remedy for helping with sore throats and hay fever. But trying to help muscle soreness is a whole different story. If you’re struggling with muscle aches and pains, keep reading this guide and you’ll find out how you could reduce your pain significantly. CBD A new common product that people are now turning to in the hopes of helping their muscle aches is CBD. This compound comes from the cannabis plant, but it has the THC removed so it’s not psychoactive. CBD comes in many different forms as well, but for muscle soreness, people like to use a topical cream. Once applied directly onto the affected area, the CBD is said to penetrate the skin, reach the muscle and reduce inflammation. Some people like to use an oil instead that you can take orally. CBD also comes in different strengths,...

I was typically teaching classes and doing my own thing at the gym while they were at school. (Over the weekend, I’d take an off day and then hit up some type of class.) When the world shut down and we were home for months, they definitely started to see me work out. I realized that by having them around, I was setting an example for them in multiple ways. Th...

6 Tips for Choosing a Pool Builder in South Florida

Doing it yourself can be stressful and time-consuming, not to mention expensive. Instead of trying to go it alone, you should look for a pool builder.
