She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body.

The articles she writes focus on providing factual information \u2013 but never at the expense of providing an entertaining read. Her interest in health &amp; wellness was sparked by her motherhood journey. She realized just how much damage misinformation could cause, especially when it is targeted at new moms who are keen on postpartum weight loss. So for years, she has worked hard to demystify the seemingly complex concepts of health &amp; wellness. Eventually, she made one startling discovery that she wishes to share with all \u2013 there is no short cut. Consistency and hard work are the keys to a healthy mind and body. But, writing is not all she does. Being a mother to an energetic toddler means her free time is spent exploring the outdoors, arms laden with cotton candy and toys. Through the daily intrigues of work and play, she continues to discover and share more ways to keep fit and stay healthy!","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/zindzygracia58517578"],"url":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/author\/zindzygracia\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/37"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60837"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60837\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68585,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60837\/revisions\/68585"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60839"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60837"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=60837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
