Serena Williams in tears as she retires with Injury after just sitting games of Wibbledon title tilt

by Women Times on

Crying as she attempted to serve through what appeared to be an ankle injury, Williams tumbled to the ground and, with a shriek, had no option but to throw in the towel. A sad end to a quest that was eagerly anticipated to be one of the storylines of the tournament.

Williams had entered the match with hefty strapping on her right thigh, but the freak injury was unconnected. Just after gaining the upper hand to move 3-1 up with an early break of Sasnovich’s serve, Williams slipped while hitting an innocuous forehand midway through her own follow-up service game, prompting an immediate grimace.

For some time she stood stock still, staring at the ground in alarm, before meekly serving out – and losing – the remaining two points, then calling the trainer onto court and departing with her for treatment.

The extent of the limp when she returned a few minutes later told a story of its own. Williams could barely walk, let alone move even vaguely freely.

She attempted to carry on, but was powerless to prevent Sasnovich holding serve and, by the time it was the American’s service game, the tears were flowing.

Retirement was the only option and capped a shocking hour on Centre Court after France’s Adrian Mannarino had slipped and injured his knee in the preceding match when a set to the good against Roger Federer. Like Williams, he was forced to withdraw.

The two retirements prompted Andy Murray to speak out, writing on social media: “Brutal for Serena Williams but Centre Court is extremely slippy out there. Not easy to move out there.”

Speaking on court immediately after her sudden triumph, Sasnovich, the world No 100 from Belarus, said: “I’m so sad for Serena. She’s a great champion. It happens sometimes in tennis but all the best for her recovery.”

This was so far from what the Wimbledon crowd had hoped for when they settled into their seats. It is 23 years since Williams first graced SW19 for her debut at a tournament that has proved the most successful of her career.

Yet for all that vast experience it was not only the playing surface that may have been feeling a touch green for this first-round encounter, given Williams had not played a match on grass for two years.

She has cut down her tournament time significantly since then, focusing so fully on grand slams that she did not even prepare for this opener with a single competitive match since losing in the fourth round of the French Open earlier this month. She has also opted to miss the Olympics in favour of peaking for the US Open.

For four years now, Court’s record has sat tantalisingly within touching distance but persistently elusive. Williams’ own tally has remained stubbornly stuck on 23 ever since giving birth to her daughter Olympia in September 2017.

As the years go by – and she creeps closer to her 40th birthday in September – the sense of haste only increases. This will be the record-breaking slam. Or this one. Or this.

A finalist on her past two visits to the All-England Club and unbeaten before finals weekend since 2014, every summer there remains a sense that Wimbledon is the most likely place to deliver the goods – this year perhaps even more so than usual.

Not only does the speed of the court aid her big serve and allow her to shorten points, but the absence of Simona Halep and Naomi Osaka had appeared to give Williams an opportunity she perhaps will never be granted again.

It all meant her high standing – and the expectation that comes with it – rather defied her official status as sixth seed at this tournament, although speaking on the eve of competition, she insisted that is nothing new.

“I’ve had a big X on my back since ’99, since I won the US Open,” she said. “When players play me that hard every single tournament, every single match, every single grand slam, it just doesn’t matter where, you just get better.”

Unfortunately, Sasnovich barely even had the chance to do so. The tennis world will hope this is not the last we see of Williams at Wimbledon.

Natural Ways to Boost Fertility

Of course every woman has the tendency to get pregnant. But at times our daily activities or other things might obstruct the reproductive organs.

So women are advised most especially those anxious to get pregnant should often eat foods rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants like folate and zinc may improve fertility for both men and women.

1.Eat a bigger breakfast. Eating very early in the morning keeps the body organs awake and hence it makes every part of the body active.

What is Fertility?

 Fertility is the quality of being able to produce children. As a measure, the fertility rate is the average number of children that a woman has in her lifetime and is quantified demographically.

Tests to find out the cause of infertility in women include:

1. Blood tests. Samples of your blood can be tested for a hormone called progesterone to check whether you’re ovulating. 

2. Chlamydia test. Chlamydia is an STI- sexual transmitted infection that can affect fertility. 

Ultrasound scan. 

X-ray. 

Laparoscopy.

 In general:

women are most fertile before the age of 30. After 30, women’s fertility starts to decrease.

After 35 fertility declines more significantly.

By 40, a woman’s fertility is about half the level it was before she was 30.

A woman’s peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline becomes more rapid once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women.

If your menstrual cycle lasts 28 days and your period arrives like clockwork, it’s likely that you’ll ovulate on day 14. That’s halfway through your cycle. Your fertile window begins on day 10. You’re more likely to get pregnant if you have sex at least every other day between days 10 and 14 of a 28-day cycle

 Common Signs of Infertility in Women

1. Irregular periods. The average woman’s cycle is 28 days long.

2. Painful or heavy periods. Most women experience cramps with their periods. 

3. No periods. It’s not uncommon for women to have an off month here and there. 

4. Symptoms of hormone fluctuations. 

5. Pain during sex.

Natural Way to Clean the Kidney

by Women Times on

Kidney is a part of the human body that is located around the abdomen, with one on each side of the spine. It is a bean shaped that functioned as filtering the human blood.

I do watch it on movie set that some people go for a kidney transplant and at least I’ve heard from one or two persons going for the kidney transplant.

There was a time I spoke with a trado-medical doctor about a natural way to clean our kidneys before it gets to a stage that it damages and he said ” the years go by and our kidneys always filter the blood, eliminating salt, poison and all that is harmful in our system. Over time, salt accumulates and requires cleaning treatment.”

He further said that, it is our negligence that do sprouts kidney diseases. “We do not take it serious when it comes to health” he said

So he highlighted some medical leaves that can be used while trying to flush the body system. The funny part of it is that we get these leaves or Vegetables at the comfort of our home without going too far.

Below are the natural ways to clean our kidneys as he said

“It is very easy, first take a bunch Scent leaves  ”Ewe Efinrin” in Yoruba language. (Nchuanwu in Igbo language) and wash well, then cut into small pieces and put in a saucepan and add clean water (1 liter). Boil for ten minutes, cool, filter into a clean bottle and refrigerate.

Drink one cup a day and you will see that all the salt and poison accumulated in your kidneys begin to appear when you urinate.”

This is recognized as the best cleansing treatment for the kidneys and it’s natural! 

This process is good for all ages.

Core 6 Ways to Boost Your Joint Inside

by Women Times on

Many people don’t realise the extent to which your joints are supported by your muscles, which means that keeping your muscles strong helps protect your joints from injury, reducing pain and stiffness. Once you’re over 50 in particular, it’s important to add individual muscle group strengthening exercises to your regular aerobic exercise regime.’

 

The most beneficial exercise for you, on the whole, is the one you’re most likely to stick with. If you have significant problems with your joints, you may want to avoid very high impact exercise such as rugby, squash, skiing or gymnastics. HIIT (high intensity interval training) and step classes are also high impact. Running (in the right shoes with lots of shock absorbency) and tennis are moderate impact while cycling, yoga, swimming and water aerobics are low impact.

You should combine aerobic exercise (the kind that makes you mildly out of breath) with specific joint exercises to increase mobility and muscle strength for individual joints. Yoga, tai-chi, resistance band workouts, heavy gardening and pilates are all good for strengthening muscles: this reduces the risk of falls as you get older but also protects your joints.’

1. YOGA

2. TA-CHI

3. RESISTANCE BAND WORKOUTS

4. HEAVY GARDENING

5. PILATES

HOTNESS OF THE WOMB: CAUSES AND ITS REMEDIES

by Women Times on

Why is my womb always hot?

This was the question a patient asked from my childhood friend who happens to be a Gynaecologist. She said she had three miscarriages to hotness of the womb in fact now she has stopped trying for a baby after trying so many remedies including taking a 6 months break and trying to conceive again none of which worked.

According to the Gynaecologist, she said some women feel very hot from the inside but they have normal temperature outside the body. There are some people who sweat profusely when this internal heat begins but others don’t sweat outside, they feel the heat internally without sweating.

 Internal heat occurs irrespective of whether the atmosphere is hot or not. The excessive heat is however not good for the foetus in the womb, for one thing it won’t nourish the baby and it also hinders conception. If it’s from birth, it usually make women barren, but if it happens accidentally it could be as a result of internal and external medicines, too much hot meat, drink, and exercise.

Causes of Internal Heat in the body

Internal heat is not a disease, it’s rather a symptom or sign from your body that something is wrong but when the cause is found and treated, the internal heat stops surfacing. Here are some of the other causes of internal heat;

Dehydration

Hot atmosphere which makes it impossible for the body to regulate it’s temperature through sweating.

Improper clothing. 

Exposing the body parts in the sun can also cause internal heat.

Too much exercises

Strenuous exercises too can also cause internal heat

Drugs

Some drugs and stimulants like cocaine, marijuana can also cause internal heat

Mental and emotional stress (anxiety)

Being anxious of something or putting something in mind which might cause you to be restless can also cause internal heat

Illness

such as infections, stomach ulcer, malaria, high blood pressure, insomnia, seizures, muscular agitations, neurological disorders, rare tumors and lots more.

Your homework then is to study your body and know what triggers the internal heat as the cause varies from person to person. When you find out the cause, then you can try as much as possible to avoid it.

Tips to fight internal heat

Avoid hot and spicy food, oily and fried foods, foods rich in calcium, caffeine, alcohol, cigarette smoke.

Never wait until you are dehydrated before drinking water, have a bottle of water with you always.

Wear the right type of clothing depending on the weather

Breathe slowly and deeply

Stay in a cool environment especially at night

Home remedies for internal heat
