Editor’s note IT MAY have been an unpredictable year, but take joy that you made it to the end of 2021. This was another year where people, myself included, prioritized their health and wellbeing. Although it may have been hard to do so, ticking some of my health bucket list items was one of the most fulfilling things. Kudos to you if your health goals were achieved but remember, next year is still another opportunity for you if yours did not go well. As we get closer to the holiday season, we are still fully aware that this year’s festivities won’t be the same as previous years, even though it may not be as bad as 2020. Traditions have changed and safety is going to be a priority for many people, instead of being carefree and throwing yourself
headfirst into the “silly season”. Food is a big part of our holiday and Christmas tradition, so enjoy your food but remember to still make healthy choices. In this holiday edition, we give you healthy options that are fun and tasty for the whole family. This year came with challenges, grief, and pain and we also understand that this time may be a challenge for many who have lost their loved one and are going to spend this time missing someone significant. We help you deal with that and give you practical solutions on how to ease the pain during the holiday season. Rest, rest, rest! Make sure you prioritise rest. To help you get the type of rest you need, we give you ways to unwind and how to
unwind to make sure you get back fresh and ready to tackle 2022 We’ve also been stuck indoors for maybe too long, and in December we can go out and enjoy the sun and outdoor activities with the family while being safe. Most of all let’s use this holiday season to reconnect with family and friends, sit around the braai and share a meal together and appreciate life. Let’s be safe, responsible, be kind to each other it’s been a tough year. This is our last health issue for 2021, thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to a healthy holiday, filled with joy and laughter, and a prosperous new year. Till we meet again next year, Happiness and Health, Always.
