NewsBride With Cerebral Palsy Walks Unaided Down Aisle On Wedding Day
A bride who was born with Cerebral Palsy surprised friends and family by standing on her own two feet and walking down the aisle. Tears flowed as Kaylin Corbran, 28, from Buffalo, New York, entered the church, her walker nowhere to be seen as she stood next to her twin sister, Kristen, before starting to make her way to the altar. The moment had been years in the making for Kaylin, whose family had never seen her walk unaided – part of a series of long-term goals she had set herself. Cerebral Palsy, a nervous system disorder, affects everyone differently, and though her motor coordination is fine, Kaylin's balance and lower extremities have been impacted by the condition since birth. At age 10, Kaylin and her grandma, Fran, visited an orthopedic doctor, who told her that if she could not walk by 12, it was unlikely she ever would. Two years later, Kaylin's legs became contracted due to muscle tightness, requiring her to have surgery to lengthen and strengthen them before she began using a walker. Having built up strength with her walker, Kaylin set herself a number of goals: walking to get her high school diploma with just one crutch; heading to the gym for the first time; learning to stand without losing balance; completing a squat. In 2013 she started exercising and undertaking strength training, before she started working with a personal trainer, Trey Torrey, in 2017. Along with the help of her physical therapist Jimmy McMullen, Kaylin was able to get to a point where she could first rise to her feet unaided, then to do a squad, and then add weights. Having worked on her balance, Kaylin was ready for the big day, at North Buffalo Community Church, on March 6, where she married Christopher Devealt, 29. As she entered the room on her sister's arm, those looking on welled up with emotion.

NewsThe Health Benefits Of Drinking Coffee
While it’s true that drinking too much coffee is bad for you, drinking a normal amount can have many benefits. Researchers have found that drinking coffee is linked to the positive emotions of happiness, kindness, and affection. A study by Harvard even found that it decreased the risk of depression in women. Coffee contains the antioxidants chlorogenic acid and polyphenol, which are known to reduce inflammation. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes decreases by 6% “for each cup per day increase in coffee consumption.” This was based on the analysis of 30 previously published studies in 2018. Several studies have shown that when consumed in moderation, coffee can improve your athletic performance. It can improve circulation, increase muscle strength and endurance, and reduce pain. Believe it or not, coffee isn’t dehydrating if you’re consistent about when and how often you drink it. Researchers found that after four days of consistent coffee consumption, the body adjusts to its natural dehydrating effect. The key is to be consistent. You won’t feel dehydrated if you drink coffee every morning rather than every other morning.
