Hope there’s some “Namaste” in your Mama’s Day!

We’re so happy to be getting back to in-person classes! But this time, we’ll be bringing with us so many fun play things to entertain the kids during our classes! We can’t wait for all the sweet moments! More info coming soon to our site and app! Download the BrittFit Family Fitness App today to get ready!

Do you take progress pictures? I take them weekly! It’s a great way to see changes happen even if the scale or your measurements don’t show it yet! Plus it helps keep you on track because you know you have photos coming, so you’d better stay on track! We’ll have a 40 day FIT Focus coming in the not-so-distant future where we’ll help you over 40 days to learn new habits like this one that can help you on your fitness journey! More info coming! Stay tuned!!

The science of breastfeeding and immunity is one of my favorite topics. 🫶🏽

A photo showing droplets of breast milk fending off armies of harmful bacteria in Petri dishes is going viral on Facebook.⁣
⁣
The photo, posted by a biology student in England, features nine Petri dishes completely colonized with the bacteria M. Luteus, except in the center, where tiny puddles of breast milk have created what looks like “moats” of protection around themselves.⁣
⁣
The student, Vicky Green, said she had similar results with Petri dishes full of e.Coli and the dreaded anti-biotic resistant “super bug” MRSA.⁣
⁣
⁣
“The white spots in the middle are discs soaked in two samples of breastmilk,” Green wrote in the caption of her post. “See the clear bit around the discs ― that’s where the proteins in the milk have inhibited the bacteria!”⁣
⁣
An article from YourPediatrician.com explains how this is possible:⁣
⁣
“About 80 percent of the cells in breast milk are macrophages, cells that kill bacteria, fungi and viruses. Breast-fed babies are protected, in varying degrees, from a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, botulism, bronchitis, staphylococcal infections, influenza, ear infections, and German measles. Furthermore, mothers produce antibodies to whatever disease is present in their environment, making their milk custom-designed to fight the diseases their babies are exposed to as well.”⁣
⁣
What’s even more impressive is that the samples of milk in the photos came from the mother of a 15-month-old and a 3-year-old, providing further evidence that breast milk continues to protect against illness long beyond infancy.

Make time for your workouts! My day is back to back, and I knew I wouldn’t have time to workout. But instead of giving up on it, I decided to run to the places I had to be locally instead of drive! Why not?! Get creative and get your workouts in! You’ll thank yourself!
