Keep a jug or bottle of water on your desk – if it is ‘in sight’ you will be more inclined to drink it. Drink water and drive! Keep water in your car. Ideally use a glass bottle rather than the plastic bottles that water is bought in. Automatically drink a glass of water when ever you brush your teeth. That’s already 2 glasses for the day (or should be!). Start your day with a glass of hot

“We never know the worth of water till the well is dry.” -Thomas Fuller Nutrition is not just about what you eat – what you drink is just as important! I am sure you’ve also heard, many times, about how important water is. What is all the fuss about? Well think about it, your body has very little capacity to store water and it is for this reason that you cannot survive without water for more

Millions of people are at risk for disease due to their high cholesterol levels. Are you one of them? You may be interested to know that certain foods can be particularly useful in lowering your cholesterol levels.

What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a substance that’s found in the fats (lipids) in your blood. While your body needs cholesterol to continue building healthy cells and to produce certain hormones, having too high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. Low cholesterol foods. When you have high cholesterol, you may develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels (a process referred

Blood pressure is the force that the heart produces in the arteries as it pumps blood around the body and that of the arteries resisting the flow. Blood pressure when measured presents two readings: Systolic- that is the pressure when the heart contracts to pump blood to the body. Tester will take the reading when they hear the first sound the heart makes. Diastolic- pressure when the heart

There are many factors to consider if you want to optimize your energy levels. Not only what you eat, but how much and when you eat is just as important. Choosing slower release, higher fibre foods as such as possible is probably a great place to start! The glycemic index (GI) is nutritional tool that can help you to easily differentiate between fast release, and slow release carbohydrates,

From business lunches to braais and coffee shop visits to Friday night take aways. Eating out seems to be more popular than eating in as part of our modern lifestyles! Eating out is a nice treat, a great way to socialise or a convenient option when you don’t have time to cook a meal … But the kilojoules, fat, sugar and sodium can add up quickly! It certainly is possible to dine out and still

You know the scene: You’re just about to log off from your computer when you spot an email from your colleague asking you to urgently complete a report before you leave the office. The report will take you at least half an hour and that means you will be stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic all the way home. Immediately, you feel the need for a snack: the day has been long and is about to become

Remember when last Spring arrived a bit faster than you anticipated and before you knew it you were facing wearing shorts and strappy tops and exposing legs and flabby arms … ouch… before you were ready for it? Here are some tips to help you to spring into Spring without needing an emergency make over. This Spring remember to give yourself the best shot at success, make one change at a time. Be

Are your healthy eating plans likely to be kicked to one side during the World Cup? Whether you are a football fan or not, the few weeks of the World Cup games will most certainly impact on your life - and possibly your health too! Perhaps you are one of the fortunate ones who will go and watch live games, or maybe you`ll be roped into watching the games at one of the fan parks or another vibey

With the World Cup happening right on our doorstep, why not score your own goal and be more physically active over the next few weeks? You know you should be making a move off the couch, and you also know it will do you the power of good!  1. Exercise will improve your mood!

So, you`d love to shed a few kilos but it seems so much easier said than done, right? Not necessarily!Weight loss is simply about understanding the basic energy dynamics of the food we eat. I am constantly amazed at how little people understand about kilojoules, what we do and don`t need, what we eat and how to burn it off. In short, you are the sum total of the kilojoules you have consumed and

It`s easy to fall into the pattern of skipping breakfast, siphoning down numerous cups of coffee, and snacking on high sugar, high fat snacks throughout the day. Problem is, you probably end up so famished by the time you get home that you end up over indulging at dinner and spending the rest of the evening as an award-winning couch potato. The trick is to eat strategically. This means having

It's been a long day. You`ve had back to back meetings. You`re running late and you`re stuck in traffic. You`re starving. At this point, the idea of preparing dinner is about as exciting as heading off for a 10km run. You decide to take the main road home and pick up dinner from one of the many fast food take away outlets that you'll drive past... Sound familiar? Fast food has

When I asked a colleague how they were feeling recently I received the following response ... "Ah you know, same circus, different tent." When asking people how they are doing, do you stop and listen, I mean, really listen? You may realise that many responses are not so chirpy...'Ag, surviving' ; 'Can't wait for the weekend'; 'So so' ; 'Cant complain' ; 'Ag you know'.
