Happy Sunday Mujeres! 

Whether you are getting ready to have a chill Sunday at your home or go out in the community with family and friends. I want you to keep one thing in mind and ask yourself, when the last time you prioritize gentle movement for your body? I am referring to exercise such as: yoga, weightlifting, Pilates, walking, running, stretching or dancing proactively. The reason we should all be thinking about this is because our bodies crave proactive movement. 

If you're laughing and responded Never...It's time to start thinking about why you should and the benefits. As women we go through many health transitions with our mind, body, and soul and this means energy has to flow to find harmony. Movement helps increase the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the body which means increasing levels of good energy. And seriously, who doesn't want good energy?! 

Here are a couple benefits of Daily Movement:

1. Mood 
2. Energy
3. Weight Management
4. Good Sleep
5. Self-Confidence
6. Less Stagnation and friction in the muscles and bones 
7. Overall Good Health

To get some motivation going find a good space in your home or outdoors to set up an exercise corner. I found a particular area in my bedroom corner next to a mirror and plant where I've added a small free weight bracket, so I can easily engage in a 30-minute workout at home. 

 Remember, you don't have to spend a couple hundred dollars if you already have existing equipment. Grab what you already have and create a wellness corner or simply grab your walking or running shoes and head outdoors. Being outdoors is natural medicine, so walk or run around your neighborhood, community park, or hike trails. Motivation starts with actionable steps, so what step will you take? 

Happy Wednesday Mujeres!

Cancer occurs when cells in an area of the body grow abnormally. Cervical cancer is a cancer that begins in the cervix, the part of the uterus or womb that opens into the vagina. It is the part of the uterus that dilates and opens fully to allow a baby to pass into the birth canal. The normal cervix has two main types of cells: squamous (or flat) cells, which protect the outside of the cervix, and glandular cells which are mostly inside the cervix, and produce the fluid and mucus commonly seen during ovulation. Cervical cancer is caused by abnormal changes in either of these cell types in the cervix, and is the only gynecologic cancer that can be prevented by regular screening and preventive vaccination.

Cervical precancers usually have no symptoms. That is why it is important to have a Pap test. A woman usually does not have any symptoms until the cells turn into cancer and invade the deepest parts of the cervix or other pelvic organs. 

These symptoms include:

 • Vaginal discharge

 • Abnormal vaginal bleeding

 • Vaginal odor

 • Pain 

These symptoms may be caused by cancer or by other health problems. It is important for a woman to see her doctor if she is having any of these symptoms.

When a woman experiences concerning symptoms, a pelvic exam, including a rectovaginal exam, and a general physical should be performed. If the exam is abnormal, the woman might be advised to undergo an HPV test, a colposcopy (observing the cervix through a magnifying scope), and a biopsy, depending on the results of the colposcopy. If cervical cancer is suspected or diagnosed, it is important to seek care first from a gynecologic oncologist (Cervical Cancer: Your Guide | 5) 

When cervical cancer is diagnosed, it is vital to determine if the cancer has spread. Your treatment team may do more tests to determine this. Additionally, specific procedures during surgery may be performed to determine the extent of disease. This process is called staging. Staging helps to determine the exact extent of your cancer and what treatment plan is best for you (8 | Foundation for Women’s Cancer).
