<h3>Hello Everyone!</h3>
First of all thank you for visiting Kahlmah, my name is Rea I am the maker and the main author of this website.
<h4>What is Kahlmah?</h4>
<em>Kahlmah</em> is a health and wellness blog, it aims to help women gain control of their health, promote health and wellbeing for all ages, we endeavour to provide information and tips on healthy practices. We strongly believe that health comes from the inside out, therefore our main focus is to attain that balance. A <span style="color: #0000ff;"><em>Healthy Mind Body &amp; Soul</em></span> is a healthy life we all should aspire to achieve.

&nbsp;
<h4>Where did it all start?</h4>
Let me begin by sharing what I do for a living, I am a nurse by profession. Nursing is an admirable vocation, being a nurse made me appreciate life better. However like any other job it comes with challenges, part of the job is to be constantly exposed to stress. Everyday you are surrounded by people with different illness, you are challenged to make that right critical decision, you are expected to be compassionate and understanding, you race time to finish everything and at the end of your shift you go home feeling drained and exhausted. A similar scenario may be true to all of you working for a living. Today, <em>stress </em>is society's common denominator. It is a proven fact that stress is a huge factor for developing disease and/or aggravate its symptoms.
<h5><em>Some of which are:</em></h5>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Heart diseases</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Gastrointestinal problems</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Obesity</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Depression</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Anxiety</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Alzheimer’s Disease</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Diabetes</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Headache and Migraine</span></li>
 	<li><span style="color: #800000;">Muscle Pain</span></li>
</ul>
The list goes on...

Also, scientific studies have proven that stress can accelerate the ageing process.

With the nature of my job I was exposed to people with different health issues, I see all the time the difficulties faced when you are not in your optimum level of health. Even being a nurse is not an exception, in fact the irony is that healthcare professionals are of coarse expected to take care of the sick but often forgets to take care of themselves.

&nbsp;
<h4>Yoga and Meditation</h4>
Kahlmah gives emphasis on this two exercises which are very closely related by nature of practice. <a href="http://www.kahlmah.com/category/yoga/"><em>Yoga</em></a> as an active form of meditation and <a href="http://www.kahlmah.com/category/meditation/"><em>Meditation</em></a>, an exercise of mindfulness, a complete physical awareness. I personally consider these two exercises as the best you can give to your body and being as a whole.

&nbsp;
<h4>A little bit more about me...</h4>
I've mentioned about being a nurse, and you might have figured out I am a big fan of Yoga and Meditation. But if I am not doing <em>Asanas</em> (yoga posture) or meditating, I'm probably in the mountains! I love being outdoor and recently I found the love for mountain trekking/hiking and rock climbing.

&nbsp;

In my years, I have always been thoughtful about my health, even at my earlier age (not that I'm so old... I'm only 30) I was conscious about being fit mainly because I wanted to be able to do as much physical activity as I could. I enjoy them, which is lucky for me, but I understand that others may not find a 3 hour walk up a mountain enjoyable.

&nbsp;

However, what I say is that, <em>life is easier if you choose to live better</em>. The one thing that got stuck in my head when I was still a student was this phrase <em><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">"Prevention is Better than Cure"</span></strong></em> and it really is! So every time I get the chance I tell people we should do everything in our power to prevent being ill and aim to find that healthy balance, of coarse life circumstances get in the way and also some diseases are just out of our control but our <span style="color: #0000ff;">"<em>Health is our Responsibility" <span style="color: #000000;"> </span></em><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #333333;">and I believe that there's always something we can do about it. </span></span></span>

&nbsp;
<h4>Turning into Blogging</h4>
In todays age internet has made everything possible, I have been hooked into reading blogs recently and I've always wanted to have a voice to promote health and wellness, so I decided to start a blog of my own because I see this as a great platform for that voice.

In this blog I focus on the things we can do <em>to promote a healthy lifestyle</em>, I put emphasis on <em>stress reduction</em> because stress is a factor to almost every disease there is and guess what? we can control stress, we can do something about it.
