The increasing use of social media has encouraged both men and women to share their photos, their moments of joy with others. But there is still a segment of people who do not like to share their photos as they suffer from some health conditions.
But this lady of 19, from New Brunswick, Canada has started a trend by sharing her photo in a bikini, shot on a beach. The best part of the photo, which also makes it special, is that she confidently shows what the society takes as a defect.
We are talking about beautiful Isa-Bella who is suffering from Parkes Weber Syndrome, due to which her right leg is swollen. But this does not have any effect on Isa-Bella’s confidence and in fact, she won a beauty contest last month in her hometown.

Isa-Bella told The Telegraph about her medical condition, “The lymphatic fluid in my body goes into my leg and because the system doesn’t work properly it doesn’t go back, so it stays there and swells my leg.”
She further added to it, “My condition doesn’t define me and there’s no way I would let it stop me from wearing a cute swimsuit or a cute dress. For me confidence is the most important part because when people see someone confident in their body – even with a disability – they don’t have pity but instead admiration. I think it’s important for people who have health issues to not only work on getting healthy but to work on loving yourself and accepting who you are.”
In this Video, she talks about her condition in detail:

Isa-Bella strongly feels that all those who have health conditions should not only make efforts to be healthy but also love themselves and accept as they are, because if you can’t love yourself, how can you expect others to love you.
Well said lady, and we also feel that feeling good about yourself is the New Healthy.
