Overeating green chillies can cause rectal inflammation. This can be especially painful if you suffer from piles.
Green chillies may increase heat in your stomach which makes them detrimental for pregnant women. Including too many chillies in your diet can irritate the stomach lining which can cause a burning sensation in your stomach.

Consuming too many chillies can cause your body temperature to shoot up. The body heat can also cause mouth ulcers.
There are many people who like to eat spicy food, and they include green chillies in their every day diet. While it is okay to consume green chillies every day, you should consume them in moderation.

Kangatraining - A Postnatal Workout With My Baby
When my twins were born, I had no idea about babywearing though I wanted those armour kind of pouches to put my babies in. For the first two months, I hardly had a chance to step out, except for the doctor visits. And I remember how difficult those were, my hubby and I carrying one child each in our arms. I finally started babywearing and then there was no looking back. There was only looking forward and to what? To an amazing form of postnatal workout and dance - Kangatraining.
Yes, I was lucky that Kangatraining came to India the same year when I needed it. I was never a gym person, but to shed off my post-pregnancy weight, I was ready to even go there. But I had not seen any nearby gyms, aerobics or dance classes having specific postnatal trainers. The only options we have in India are postnatal yoga and more recently, Kangatraining. Kanga classes were a win-win for me because it allowed me to take my baby to the class. Yes, Kangatraining is a workout with your baby.
In my first Kanga class, I learnt a lot about my post-pregnancy body, which no regular trainer was ever going to tell me.
Kangatrainers draw specific attention to core strengthening exercises and rebuilding your abdominal muscles. There are variations in exercises for moms with various postpartum symptoms such as knee pain, back pain, engorged breasts and diastasis. They perform all exercises and forms keeping in mind the weak pelvic floor muscles post delivery. And the babywearing dances are the best and the most enjoyable not just for the mommy but also for the baby.
My boys have really enjoyed dancing to the tunes of Bollywood songs ever since they were 6 months, that is from our first Kangaclass. Now at 13 months, they enjoy listening to not just rhymes but also to Bollymusic that gives me a break and lets me dance and enjoy. I have been regularly kanga-ing and it has really helped me go back to my pre-pregnancy body. I can't be more thankful.
Kangatraining has been a very important part of my post-pregnancy life and motherhood. It has given me my space and my 'me-time' but without ignoring my children. It has helped me regain my confidence by letting me come back to shape and meeting new moms and not just sitting at home has saved me from succumbing to post-pregnancy depression. It is something I would definitely want all my friends and followers to try.

Why I Chose Paper Soap Over Sanitizer for My Child
As a mother, I am very particular about hygiene and cleanliness. So I always make sure that my daughter follows certain good habits, like washing hands after going to the washroom, and even before a meal.
Maintaining hygiene and cleanliness in the house is easy, but how can we make sure that our children maintain hygiene in school as well? I know in school, teachers are strict and remind students to wash their hands before eating food. My little daughter joined a school recently, and I was worried about personal hygiene. So initially I handed her a sanitised and carefully taught her how to open the cap and how much drops to use.
All was going well till I found the empty bottle of sanitizer in a week. I calmly asked her, "Dear, how did you finish it so soon?" She answered, "Mummy, what can I do, everyone shares it?" I understood that she shares a lot of stuff, but one day when I saw the sanitiser bottle filled with water, I was angry.
She was also nervous and said, "Mummy, a girl did this." The next morning, my husband handed her another sanitizer bottle. She happily took it and went to school. But when she returned home, she was scared and cried. She said, "Mummy, I lost the bottle". I understood that she must have kept in her pocket and lost while playing in the school ground. But this time, my husband and I didn't give her another bottle of a sanitizer.
All of us are taught in school to share things with each other, and I believe my little girl did the same. But some kids took advantage of her. They must have said things like, "You are not my friend if you don't share this." And so my girl would have given it to them. I can't do anything about those children and nor did I say anything to my girl - she is just a kid. Scolding children or beating them is not a solution. When kids are too young, we shouldn't give them costly things. I stopped giving costly stuff to my daughter.
I switched from sanitizer to paper soap.
It's important to understand your children. Instead of arguing or scolding your child, I think we should look for solutions. And in my case paper soap was best. It is not as attractive as a sanitizer, so my child's friends don't want to share it. It is also inexpensive and works way better than a sanitiser!
