Speaking as a panelist during a recent event dubbed Women, Words and Wine, Patricia revealed some bosom details about her relationship with her parents and how they turned her into the woman we’ve all come to adore.

“My father used to tell me all this weird things and I used to believe until I was like eighteen years old when I started realizing that half of them were not even realistic,” Patricia said, “But it grew my imagination so much... He got me this library card and my brain was filled with vocabulary, stories and characters.

Patricia acknowledges the power of ink on paper in making her the great actress that she is right now. Her time in the library paid in the form of her successful acting career that she discovered back in high school.

She said, “My world wasn’t just a small space, it was just all over. I believed in supernatural, reaching on top was just something normal to me. I saw myself as super mum’s daughter. It is a wonder that I didn’t jump off a roof or something. In high school I discovered that taking along the different characters from books is called acting.”

Patricia Kihoro has made a name for herself in the media industry as an acclaimed artiste and radio presenter.

<h1>The saying ‘Kushuta ni afya’ is most often used as an excuse for ripping bums at inappropriate times.</h1>

However, according to Scientists from University of Exeter have found that inhaling hydrogen sulfide, which is the rotten egg scent in farts, will actually boost your immune system.

PhD Biomedical scientist and consultant, AJ Troiano explained  to Reader’s digest

“In order to understand the science of passing gas, you have to understand the sheer scale of microbes that are housed in the human body. It’s not the microbes that have protective properties, but the byproducts (hydrogen sulfide) they produce during normal metabolic processes.”

The study also found out that inhaling farts could help reduce the risk of cancer, heart attack, strokes, arthritis, and dementia.

However, beware, you can actually overdose on fart gas. Hydrogen sulfide in small amounts maybe healthy but an overdose could lead to losing your sense of smell, fatigue, loss of appetite and just enough of it could kill you in 48 hours.

Have you farted today? Do the world a favour and let it rip!

When Gabriella had her first son two

years ago, she had already made up her mind to breast feed naturally.

“We are told breastfeeding is best and your child receives the best nutrition through breastfeeding."

However, no one had prepared for the painful lumps that had started growing while she was lactating. She thought she had cancer.

"I thought a lump under my armpit was cancerous. You always hear lumps need to be checked out because of cancer."

Gabriella found out that she was experiencing mammary duct ectasia.

Also known as swollen milk ducts, this happens when milk ducts in the breast get clogged because the mother is not completely emptying her breast of milk on a regular basis.

Swollen milk ducts happens to a lot of women and also in other animals. If left untreated, a plugged milk duct can cause milk to back up and an infection to begin.

This is called the Mastitis infection which causes a woman's breast tissue to become painful and inflamed.

It can also happen to non lactating women with weakened immune systems, who have been through radio therapy for lumpectomies and women with diabetes.

For Gabriella, her solution was ice and a cold flannel.

"Sometimes with Oscar I would place a cold flannel or ice on my armpit to reduce the swelling. Sometimes I would also have a warm bath or shower and hold my arm up to the shower head to reduce the swelling."

However, with the second child, she started expressing milk. A decision she reveals didn’t do much to help her situation.

"I have had to express milk with Lucas because my boobs had too much milk in them and were very uncomfortable and would start to leak. The only trouble I have with expressing is that my body thinks Lucas is feeding loads so is producing more milk - which isn't really helping with the lumps going down."

Gabriella decided to open up about her situation because it is rarely spoken about.

"I would like mothers to realise that there are cons to breastfeeding and to make them aware of different ways to relieve the pain, and not to worry - there are other mums suffering the same thing. We are told breastfeeding is best, however it's never about what the mother goes through i.e. the side effects and cons."
