Babys Day out !!!!!

The rooms have no numbers — just the couple’s name, there are no visiting hours, and you deliver your baby and get driven back home in a luxurious car, like a Mercedes!

That is the promise the Birthplace, a “birthing centre” in Hyderabad’s upmarket Banjara Hills, makes to expectant moms. 

From planning a child to the actual delivery, a birthing centre provides medical support services, but in a more friendly ambience than a typical hospital or nursing home. The idea is to allay the anxiety and fear associated with a delivery and to pamper the mother without compromising on the safety of the delivery, says 28-year-old Tarun Siripurapu, an engineer-turned-promoter of the proposed network.

Birthing centres, baby-shields and cord blood banking — an array of baby-centred healthcare 

services is on offer, as parents pull out all stops for their children.

The birthing centre concept took shape some years ago, with Apollo Hospital’s ‘The Cradle’. Fortis hospital group’s La Femme and privately-owned Cloudnine followed.

All about SPINE

                                               "You are only as old as your spine is flexible" (Bob Harper: the trainer who is world famous from the reality show "The Biggest Loser")

The health of the spine is in relation with the health of your organs, and of course exercise.

Every one should be able to bend over and to touch the ground with the palms of his/hers hands.

Just try it and if you cannot do it, just try it every day a bit deeper, in a few months you will have restored the health of your spine.

A flexible body will give you a flexible mind.
