Estate Manager From The
Dear Heritage Hill Residents,
Can you believe we are heading into the halfway mark of the year, welcome June. WOW, how this year has flown!
Goodbye May, Hello June! Every new month is like a fresh piece of paper and only you decide what will be written on it. On Estate matters, we have a few items that we have noted over the past few months that would like to highlight:
WHEEL CLAMPING:
We have had to clamp a few visitor’s and resident’s car wheels who have parked on “no parking zones” (yellow lines); please remember, these lines are painted to prevent cars from parking there to avoid accidents due to poor visibility.
CARAVAN & TRAILERS:
There is a lot of confusion regarding the approval from Board/HOA and the timeframe permitted before and after holidays for caravan’s and trailers.
In terms of the Rules and Regulations (16. Vehicles) –
Caravans and trailers are to be parked on your stand and not be visible; should you require either to be parked on common property, this may be done with Board consent, but the request
must be received 7 days prior to the caravan or trailer is to leave or return.
To accommodate occupants, who do need to park before leaving or returning, the Board may be given written permission for the occupant to park the trailer/caravan on common property one (1) week before leaving and one (1) week on returning from holiday.
RECKLESS DRIVING:
We still have a number of residents not adhering to the road markings or the general road safety in the Estate: we have the speed cameras in place, please assist by adding your information to your Heritage Hill App or emailing the information of your vehicle(s) to Elsa – admin@heritagehill. co.za
Whilst the Estate was designed to encourage families to freely walk on the roadsides and play in the parks; parents need to please supervise their children when they are utilising both to prevent nuisance behaviour.
FIBRE:
On a positive note, after several issues with the fibre in the Estate; through HOA Board intervention, Supersonic have successfully relocated the Heritage Hill data hub to the Midstream Data Centre and this has made a significant impact on our connectivity during the various stages
of the loadshedding we are experiencing.
ELECTRICITY:
Our next challenge that the Board is embarking on is that of electricity and the high number of outages in the area.
As indicated on our Heritage Hill App, the three Estates Heritage Hill, Golden Fields, and Candlewood have collaborated to set up 3 individual electricity petitions to be sent to the City of Tshwane. The recipients will include the Ward Councillor, the Petitions Committee of City of Tshwane, and the Chairperson of the Petition Committee. The Board is also in the process of setting up a public consultation meeting, we are currently awaiting a date from City of Tshwane.
On a lighter note, if you come across any litter while jogging or walking in this stunning Estate, please pick it up and throw it in a bin. This is help keep our Estate beautiful and clean!

POTTED PLANTS
Article by Elize Malan
This is a plant grown in a container, with limited access to water and nutrients. It is completely dependent on an artificial environment for its survival.
The fastest way to get privacy on a patio is to invest in advanced evergreen plants in large containers. Dense evergreens such as conifers work well and can be grown successfully in a large container. Shade is not a problem as perennials combined with annuals will give a pop of colour to even the darkest spot under a tree.
Apply fertilizer, once per month to the soil of the container.
Outdoor pots
Through the use of plant containers, the whole design and layout of a patio or garden can easily be changed from time to time. Possibilities for containers are endless, from rustic re-cycled materials, plain or decorated cement containers, wooden tubs, barrels and boxes and the old- time favourite terracotta.
Good drainage is essential. At least three holes in the base of the pot, covered with plastic mesh and filled with good quality Outdoor potting soil is needed. A pot with a micro-drip watering system or gravity fed auto-watering system will cut down on maintenance.
Indoor pots
The selection of container depends on interior design. Sleek white, black or grey containers will suit modern homes with limited floor space. This is where the use of accent pieces comes in. For this, you can stick to smaller plants like succulents that add texture and detail to a room without competing with the rest of the pieces in the same area.
Whether you suspend your plant from the ceiling or neatly line your walls with plant shelves or individual sconce half-moon containers, it will definitely be an eye-catching statement in the room.
JUNE 2023
Use indoor potting soil in the container and avoid using bark chips as surface finish. When watering the plants by hand the bark chips remain moist, start rotting and midges become a problem. Pebbles or silica sand will be a neat finish.
When growth of indoor plants is unsatisfactory, it can be caused by incorrect placement of the container. Change of light intensity, and/or watering and fertiliser will usually solve the problem. Containers with flowering plants should be seen as long-lasting flower arrangements. The light intensity required to induce new flowers, is usually not available in a house. Soil is limited in a plant container and failure to re-pot a root bound plant, will force it to stop growing or even cause it to wilt.
Fertilizer for indoor containers differs from the outdoor pots. Liquid fertilizer, specially formulated for this purpose should be used.
To cut down on maintenance time, The Self Watering Urban Hydroponic pots made of high-quality plastic can be used. Each pot has a rope wick which draws water from the pot into the growing medium to keep it moist at all times.
A house and garden filled with potted plants will add a wide variety of species to your surroundings. The container is not important, but consistent maintenance of the plants is.

Detox Delights
By Abigail Baker
It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and I’m feeling…good? With the new year having come and gone, you might be looking to start fresh and considering a potentially devastating, year-defining, extreme detox.
Gone are the days of the torturous fad juice cleanses that can leave us feeling weak in the knees. The new era of wellness is
turning back to ancient wisdom for advice on gentle, healthy ways to cleanse the body and mind.
Today, we recognise that there are many healthy and enjoyable ways of giving our systems a break - cleansing, nourishing, and resetting them to allow us to start our resolutions without the holiday toxins
14 WELLNESS JUNE 2023
holding us back. If you want to improve your overall health, balance your emotions, strengthen your immunity, and clarify your skin, it might be time to consider a gentle detox.
It’s important to remember that your body is actually well equipped to eliminate toxins – the liver, kidneys, digestive system, skin, and lungs all work hard, every day, to release the nasties from your system – but it is only when these organs are healthy that they can do so effectively. Your detox can help to optimise your body’s natural processes and enhance its abilities.
OUR TOP 5 GENTLE DETOX TIPS
1. Reduce caffeine and increase citrus
Instead of starting your day with a cuppa joe, try drinking a glass of warm water with some slices of lemon in it. Not only is this a deliciously refreshing sip, but it is also likely to improve your digestion and give your metabolism a boost. If citrus is not to your taste, consider switching to green, cinnamon, or fenugreek tea - which can all boost the digestive system.
2. Be pro probiotics
Try to include whole foods that contain good bacterialike yoghurt, curd, bananas, onions, garlic, leeks,
asparagus, artichokes, and beans - in your diet. These foods are great friends to your gut, and will help to alleviate digestive issues.
3. Lessen your ‘s’ consumption
Spirits, salt, saturated fat, and sugar are some of the most hindering ingestibles, as they hinder your body’s ability to naturally detoxify, making it retain excess fluid and leaving you feeling sluggish. Limit your consumption, and you’ll no doubt come to see the negative effects these ingredients were having on your health.
15 WELLNESS JUNE 2023
4. Glug that water
Try to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water each day to give your body enough fluid to help dispel waste. If you have trouble remembering to drink enough water, consider investing in a flask that you can refill on the go. Being hydrated will also help your body to regulate your temperature, lubricate your joints, and absorb necessary nutrients.
5. Fill up on antioxidantrich, anti-inflammatory foods
Try to eat whole, fibre-rich foods like fruit, veggies, and beans, as well as nuts, seeds, whole grains, and lean protein to aid your gut and liver function. Detoxifying hero ingredients include onions, broccoli, garlic, cilantro, lemons, ginger, beetroot, and cabbage. Add them to your shopping list to feel lighter and more energised in days.
Helping your body to release harmful toxins will also help it latch onto the nourishment you are bringing into your life this year. Out with the old, and in with the new!

Village Braai at Heritage Hill:
A Success!Sizzling
By Brenden Roberts
On a beautiful Saturday evening, the vibrant community of Heritage Hill came together for a delightful gathering known as the Village Braai. Held on May 13th, this eagerly awaited event proved to be a fantastic opportunity for families to connect, share delicious food, and revel in the joyous spirit of togetherness.
The atmosphere was nothing short of electric as families flocked to the communal braai area, armed with an array of mouthwatering dishes and an infectious enthusiasm that set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Laughter echoed through the air, while the tantalizing aroma of sizzling meats and delectable sides filled every nook and cranny of the estate. What made the Village Braai truly special was the genuine sense of unity and camaraderie that enveloped the event. Families from all corners of Heritage Hill came together,
showcasing the true essence of community spirit. It was heartwarming to witness old friends reconnecting and new friendships blossoming, all while enjoying the simple pleasures of good food and great company.
The potluck aspect added an extra layer of delight to the occasion. Families generously brought along their cherished recipes and traditional favorites, ensuring a mouthwatering assortment of paptert, sides, salads, and condiments. It was a delightful exchange of culinary prowess, with each dish offering a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of flavors that make our community so unique.
As the sun began its descent, the braai fires crackled and sparked, casting a warm glow that illuminated the festivities. Children danced and played together, their faces adorned with smiles that mirrored the joyous spirit of the evening. The shared laughter and stories painted a vivid picture of the bonds that were formed and strengthened during this magical gathering.
The success of the Village Braai would not have

been possible without the unwavering support and participation of our wonderful community. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every family who graced the occasion with their presence and contributed their delicious creations.

Special thanks are also due to the dedicated organizers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every detail was perfect. Your efforts truly paid off, and our community owes you a debt of gratitude for making this evening an unforgettable experience.
As the final embers of the braai fires faded
into the night, we were left with memories that will linger in our hearts for years to come. The Village Braai at Heritage Hill was a testament to the spirit of unity, friendship, and celebration that defines our community.
We eagerly anticipate future events that bring us together, fostering the bonds that make our estate a truly exceptional place to call home. Until then, let’s carry the warmth and joy of the Village Braai with us, nourishing our spirits and reminding us of the incredible strength and beauty of our community.

Wine Festival
Yandri Pienaar
The annual Wine Festival in our village has become somewhat of a tradition, a heritage to our estate if you will… And a proud heritage is what stood behind each of the vineyards on display this year.
From the beautiful town of Robertson, established in 1852, comes the Robertson Wine collection which was first established in 1941 in a little stone church, initially built by the community but by then no longer in use as the community grew bigger.
Spier is certainly not a new name in wine, but did you know that Spier is considered South Africa’s oldest dated wine cellar? The farm was one of the first few farms established in Stellenbosch back in 1692. By 1754 it had already grown more than 30 000 vines, being one of the best producers in the region at the time. Although the farm has been in the business of wine for many years, it was only in 1971 that the first wines were bottled under the Spier label.
Neil Ellis first sourced grapes from other vineyards in the region in 1984 to produce his first wines in a rented cellar. Since then the label has become an established name in the world of wines and still sources grapes from in and around the Stellenbosch district today.
The Jordan hillside vineyards were first judged ready for winemaking in 1993, but quickly became a new star in the winemaking world.
Back in 1957 Bosman Family Vineyards’ main-
ly focused on their vine nursery, propagating cuttings for the Cape Wine Industry on the farm Groenfontein, in Wellington which has been in the family since 1810. In 2007 the 8th generation Bosman reestablished the Bosman Family Vineyards name as a producer of exquisite wines with grapes produced on the farm as well as the hills of the Hemel en Aarde Valley.
One of the most successful land reform transactions to date came from the Bosman vineyards and its farming community back in 2009 where the family and workers joined hands, together with other partners, to form Bosman Adama. The Bosman and Adama families had been working and living together for more than 5 generations on this land and since 2009 have generated success for all involved. Their most recent introduction to the world of wines is the HER Wine Collection, produced by a group of eight female winemakers. The name was chosen as representation of the sisters, mothers, daughters and grandmothers of these eight ladies, and ultimately as representation of the female spirit.
Each vineyard and each wine label on display at this year’s Heritage Hill Wine Festival carries with it a rich history, heritage and success story in its own right. So why not head to their websites to learn more about their legacies.
And if you are in the mood to show off your food and wine paring skills, visit the Fat Bastard ‘FAT Inspirations’ webpage for not only the right wine to pair, but the food recipe to go with it as well. https://www.fatbastardwine.co.za/fat-inspirations

As the sun set, families gathered in the Rose Garden, eagerly awaiting the start of “The Amazing Maurice.” Laughter and smiles filled the air as children nestled into their blankets and parents found comfortable spots.

social injustices when he said that “it is in your hands now.”
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead” – Former President Nelson Mandela
Let us as Heritage Hill residents not hold back to make a difference once more in the lives of the kids at Kids Paradise Nursery School and the Centurion SPCA.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR WORKFORCE HAPPY on the Move, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z
For the first time in history, there are five generations in the workplace. From Gen Z to The Silent Generation, the diversity of life stages is the most complicated it’s been in history. In the same way that corporate culture and policies are evolving to stamp out issues like the “wage gap”, organisations need to address the issues created by the “age gap”.
The stakes are high. Attracting and retaining talent in today’s multigenerational workplace is challenging, which puts company culture under the spotlight. According to the 2022 EY US Generation Survey, 90% of surveyed workers said that company culture impacts their decision to stay at their current employer. A company culture that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and considers the values, needs and perspectives of its employees is vital to remaining competitive.
And a travel policy can go a long way creating this kind of culture.
Bonnie Smith, GM of Corporate Traveller, explains:
“The cookie-cutter approach to travel policy is no longer effective. Inclusivity is more critical than ever before in a world where the workplace now includes five different generations. Our definition of inclusivity also needs to evolve to stay relevant. It’s not just about minority groups or those with special travel needs but also about preferences and personal priorities.
“Though these five generations all want to feel valued, each has its own mix of priorities, and whether it be through interpersonal interaction, flexibility, choice or sustainability, your travel policy needs to be dynamic enough to cater to each set of needs,” says Smith.
But what are the needs of each generation?
[1928-1945] The Silent Generation
Endorsed, established brands with a good track record appeal to the Silent Generation, and they tend to stick with what they know. Physical accessibility is important, as is clarity in travel policies and ease of booking, tracking and reporting. This generation does not use sharing, social and digital technology; they prefer to communicate in person and appreciate hard copies of information.
Smith points out: “Though the Silent Generation is the healthiest elder generation in history, travel insurance, specifically those policies that cover health and wellness, are a vital part of their travel policies.”
JUNE 2023
TRAVEL 33
[1946-1964] Baby Boomers
Booking, tracking and reporting are not determining factors of satisfaction when it comes to Baby Boomers, but access to free Wi-Fi, flexibility, and hotels with business centres are priorities. Though they are tech-literate, they don’t engage with sharing technology like Airbnb and Uber. In a survey conducted by Software Advice, only 3% of Baby Boomers were interested in the idea of a robotic room service or a robotic butler. Baby Boomers favour direct in-person communication and appreciate a personal touch.
“Customised, person-to-person service goes a long way in ensuring Baby Boomer satisfaction. Getting through airport security, being able to check in their bags and having their family obligations respected is more important than choice in travel plans, and it is key to opt for structured plans that offer flexibility when accommodating this generation,” advises Smith.
[1965-1980] Generation X
Generation X greatly values work-life balance and family life. Bleisure – extending business trips for leisure and inviting family members to join them – is a growing requirement within this age group.
“With the rise of bleisure, company travel policies need to clearly define the parameters of what constitutes leisure and business, especially when it comes to duty of care and expenses,” says Smith.
The ability to make changes to travel plans is also essential for Generation X.
As Smith explains, “Flexibility in travel plans is a major driver of satisfaction for Generation X, and it can be a deciding factor in whether they use company booking tools or book directly with suppliers themselves. This can present a problem in terms of leakage, so it would be wise to modify travel policies to include the flexibility vital to this generation.”
Generation X is also not constantly connected like its younger counterparts, as they use a desktop to interact with technologies. Therefore, the details of their travel plans must be confirmed and wellorganised beforehand.
[1981-1996] Millennials
Millennials see travel as part of their identity and travel the most out of all the generations. According to a study conducted by Expedia, the average Millennial travels 35 days a year, while Generation X, Baby Boomers, and Generation Z travel around 26-29 days.
“Currently in their 30s and 40s, Millennials will make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025, so
understanding this generation is key to creating sustainable travel policies. They are fluent in the latest technologies and use Airbnb and e-hailing, and they want to choose their own accommodation. Millennials also enjoy unique and social itineraries, so when considering this generation offering various accommodation options and interesting group activities will greatly add to their satisfaction,” recommends Smith.
Millennials are likely to extend their trips for bleisure and enjoy a digital nomad culture – remote and hybrid work. This calls for clear-cut travel policies that outline what is covered and what is not.
[1997-2015] Generation Z
Generation Z are digital natives, meaning they have never known the world without digital technologies and have grown up with computers, smartphones and the internet. They communicate through technology and use their phones to interact with the world and organise their daily life.
“If you want to maintain a competitive edge in attracting and retaining future talent, now is the time to tap into the needs of Generation Z as they enter the workforce.
Be aware that they have different priorities than the other generations and that they prize mental health and freedom of choice over structure and conformity. They are also champions of social justice and climate-friendly practices, and remote working and bleisure are important to them.
Their travel policies must reflect these priorities and allow for flexibility while clearly stating the framework for bleisure and remote work.”
Start the process – check in with your people
So how do you transform your travel policy? “In collaboration with a TMC like Corporate Traveller, you can craft a travel policy that is both flexible and relevant. It is crucial to involve members from different generations within your organisation to understand their unique travel preferences rather than making assumptions. By acknowledging your employees’ individuality and working closely with your TMC, you can create a people-led travel policy that aligns with your company culture, ensuring everyone feels seen and valued as humans,” advises Smith.

TRAVEL 34 JUNE 2023
THE EXTRAORDINARY UNDERTAKING CONTINUES:
SPECTRE APPROACHES TWO MILLION KILOMETRE MARK IN LATEST PHASE OF RIGOROUS GLOBAL TESTING
• Rolls-Royce continues 2.5 million kilometre testing programme of all-electric Spectre
• Almost 2 million kilometres of testing now completed across the world
• Extreme hot weather testing currently being undertaken in South Africa at 50°C
• ‘Marginal gains’ theory employed to make substantial overall improvements
• Spectre will be cycled through ‘final four seasons’ of conditions to ratify results
• Final ‘Lifestyle Analysis’ process will conclude Spectre testing
Spectre, Rolls-Royce’s genre-defining all-electric super coupé, has now covered almost two million kilometres as it completes the third phase of the most rigorous testing programme ever devised in the marque’s 118-year history. This has already surpassed every Rolls-Royce testing programme before it – and it is still far from over.
Spectre is currently undergoing extreme hot weather tests in two locations in South Africa: Augrabies in the Northern Cape; and Franschhoek, the
‘French Corner’ in the Western Cape winelands. The stable yet contrasting climates provide some of the finest summerweather driving in the world, with dry and extremely hot conditions in the north and more humid, Mediterraneanstyle, conditions in the south. At its hottest, temperatures can exceed 50°C, while the southern region hosts a great variety of surfaces and terrains, including twisting country roads replete with gravel, dust and dirt. Truly testing conditions, by any measure.
During this stage, engineers are observing and refining every system, hardware item and software protocol that has been developed over the course of almost two million kilometres of continuous testing. Only through such painstaking assessments can Rolls-Royce’s technical experts achieve the exacting levels of ride refinement that are so central to the experience beloved by clients, and successfully translate the marque’s defining ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ to the new all-electric paradigm.
JUNE 2023
Throughout Spectre’s testing, each of the motor car’s 25,000 separate performancerelated functions have been meticulously tailored to deliver a quintessentially Rolls-Royce experience. The refinements being made now follow the principles of ‘marginal gains’, in which individual, very small and incremental adjustments cumulatively produce a significant overall improvement. Though widely used and proven in elite sport and high-level business, this theory is being used during Spectre testing to an unprecedented extent, as part of the wider validation process characterised internally as the Rolls-Royce Finishing School.
Examples of the meticulous attention-to-detail that Spectre prototypes are being subjected to are manifold but often impossible to quantify, as they represent the judgement and instinct of the marque’s peerless and long-standing engineering elite. For example, over 1500 hours have already been dedicated to finessing the car’s regenerative braking to ensure it feels effortless but present. Data-logging equipment processes sensor inputs generated by this braking force, to ensure that adjustments do not compromise the overall serenity of Spectre under any driving conditions. However, it is only the experience and judgement of long-standing Rolls-Royce engineers that can ensure the motor car will, when testing is completed,
meet the inimitable standards required to deliver an elevated expression of the Rolls-Royce experience.
Similarly, anti-roll stabilisation is being tuned to reflect the dynamic promise of Spectre’s dramatic super-coupé design while still delivering on the marque’s hallmark ‘Magic Carpet Ride’ qualities. In South Africa, this testing has specific significance as high temperatures can alter the hardness of rubber suspension components, providing a parameter that is bookended by the results of extreme cold weather testing.
This exhaustive approach has also been applied to ensuring the correct colour-quality and brightness for the theatre of light that is prompted by opening Spectre’s coach door. To ensure a sense of harmony in the cabin, whatever the external light conditions, all internal illuminations, including the marque’s celebrated Bespoke Starlight Headliner, instrument cluster and SPIRIT interface, must be perfectly coordinated. This requires detailed analysis of a global range of sunlight exposure and types, to ensure consistency of colour-quality wherever in the world Spectre is.
As the car approaches the later phases of its exhaustive testing programme, further adjustments will be made to sealing materials to deliver Rolls-Royce’s famed aero-
acoustic performance. This process is essential because rubber sealing materials perform differently through the spectrum of temperatures. For example, during Spectre’s testing phase at Arjeplog in Sweden, seals hardened in sub-zero temperatures. Conversely, in South Africa, Rolls-Royce engineers will be assessing the acoustic performance of seals softened in hotter conditions. Their work is therefore to find optimum balance to ensure the cabin is insulated in all extremes of climate.
In South Africa and throughout the remaining programme, the audio system will also be tuned and finessed to achieve fractional gains in the quality of the sound offered through Spectre’s 17 speakers. Following initial testing and calibration in a laboratory setting, the system is now being tested exhaustively in real-world conditions. A specially curated playlist presenting a wide range of genres to represent a full spectrum of sonic requirements is used.
This commitment to ensuring perfect acoustic performance extends to the key functions of the motor car. Indeed, even the speed at which the self-closing coach doors shut is being scrutinised to ensure that the perfect level of positive noise is generated upon closure.
MOTORING 36 JUNE 2023 APRIL 2023
ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE: THE EXTRAORDINARY
UNDERTAKING NEARS COMPLETION
When the experience and data collected from South Africa has been fully analysed, and relevant actions and measures have been implemented, Spectre’s testing programme will be around 80% complete as it sets off on the final ratification phase. This consists of taking the motor car through a condensed programme of ‘all-season’ testing, including return visits to the Arctic extremes of Arjeplog and the more temperate conditions of the Côte d’Azur.
The final 500,000 kilometres of Spectre testing will focus on Lifestyle Analysis. This proprietary testing process will see Spectre tested in superluxury situations and use-cases specific to Rolls-Royce clients, to ensure Spectre performs as required in the centre of global megacities, around new and historical luxury destinations, and in other settings commensurate with owners’ needs, habits and lifestyles.
ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE: TESTING BACKGROUND
Ahead of the first cars being delivered to clients, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023, Spectre has undergone exhaustive trials designed to replicate almost 400 years of normal use, in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. In total, the car will cover more than 2.5 million kilometres – the equivalent of circumnavigating the globe 62 times.
Testing began in the winter of 2021 at a special testing facility in Arjeplog, Sweden, just 55 kilometres from the Arctic Circle. In temperatures of -40°C, Rolls-Royce engineers examined and refined every aspect of Spectre’s performance and handling in snow and ice, and any effects of prolonged extreme cold on the motor car’s batteries and other electronic systems.
With this examination successfully completed, Spectre then spent the summer of 2022 in the sunnier, but no less exacting climes of the French Riviera and around the Côte d’Azur. This included testing at the historic Autodrome de Miramas proving ground, a former Grand Prix circuit that now provides over 60 kilometres of closed routes and 20 state-of-the-art test track environments. The majority of the testing, however, was conducted in the Provençal countryside, assessing Spectre’s capabilities under real-world conditions in an area where many production cars are likely to spend their lives.
JUNE 2023

MOTORING
“The reason for our extraordinary and restless global testing process is simple: there has never been a motor car like Spectre before. As the first all-electric Rolls-Royce, Spectre represents not just a new paradigm in our technology, but the entire future direction of our brand. Only Rolls-Royce engineers could conceive this astonishing journey, and only Rolls-Royce engineers could undertake it: the task is not to test a motor car but to elevate the benchmark of automotive excellence.”

Pricing and Servicing
Vitz 1.0 MT – R 189 900
Vitz 1.0 XR MT – R 219 900
Vitz 1.0 XR AMT – R 239 900

Give Your Body the Gift of Intuitive Eating
By Kimberly Kemp
Intuitive eating is an approach that acknowledges that the body knows best - or should I say, that a body in balance knows best. When your body is in balance, you create the mental and emotional space to start making decisions based on how you feel rather than relying on outside sources to inform how you should eat or approach your health. Whether it’s vegan, plant-based, paleo, carnivore, or a combination, you do what’s best for you. When you restore balance and tune in, you become empowered with the knowledge that your body is your best guide, and that you are your own best healer.
44 WELLNESS JUNE 2023
STUMBLING BLOCKS
The problem is that the more interference you have had throughout your life, the longer it may take to restore balance. Interference, in this instance, would be anything that disrupts the balance of the body and mind, including:
• Processed foods (refined sugar, sweeteners, additives, colourants, etc.)
• Medications (antibiotics, antiinflammatories, acid blockers, etc.)
• Heavy metals
• Toxic relationships
• Emotional and physical trauma
We are born with an innate understanding of what our body needs, but it often gets disrupted along the way. When you limit the interference and restore balance, it becomes less about what diet fad to follow or how much to eat and more about letting your body guide you. You begin to crave foods that are nourishing, and start to notice how dead and devitalised processed foods affect you. This makes the decision to eat healthier that much easier, because it’s based on how you feel rather than on what you are told.
However, if you are not in balance, you could be getting mixed signals. This is what you should be looking at, in particular, when in this state…
• Gut health
• Mineral levels
• Toxins and trauma
45 WELLNESS JUNE 2023
Gut health imbalances have a major effect on our health and what we choose to eat. 80% of our immune system resides in our gut. Poor gut health can result in a compromised immune system, which can lead to a vicious cycle of antibiotic use, which in turn damages the gut even more. This can start at an early age, so you may not even remember what it feels like to have a body in balance.
How does this relate to intuitive eating?
Our microbiome has been shown to influence our mood and behaviour. There are a number of ways in which your microbiome can manipulate your eating behaviour for its survival. Depending on the composition of bacteria, fungi, and viruses found in your gut, this manipulation can be detrimental to your health.
ravenous hunger and uncontrollable cravings. You feel the constant need to eat, but if you continue to eat processed foods devoid of nutrients, you don’t ever satisfy that hunger - and so begins another vicious cycle.
Sugar, stress, medication, and toxic substances all deplete minerals. While we understand that this can affect appetite, what is even more concerning is that mineral deficiencies can cause cellular function to falter. Minerals are the spark plugs that ignite our cellswithout them, our bodies do not function optimally. Low energy, hair loss, fatigue, a compromised immune system, poor wound healing, and accelerated ageing can all be a sign of a mineral deficiency.
Both sugar and artificial sweeteners can alter our palates or taste preferences over time, increasing our desire for sweet foods. This disrupts our ability to eat intuitively.
Restoring gut health is fundamental to intuitive eating. How do you tune into your body when you have an overgrowth of microbes that constantly tell you to eat sugar?
Healthy eating isn’t just about motivation and making the ‘right’ food choices, and it certainly can’t be reduced to a calories in and calories out approach. It’s about nourishing your body and microbes with quality wholefoods in a way that optimises your health and works best for you.
TOXINS AND TRAUMA
Toxic exposure, toxic relationships, traumas, toxic thoughts, and of course chronic stress can all lead to some level of imbalance that dissociates you from your body. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual, your body pays the price. In order to restore balance, it is essential to face the aspects of your life that are holding you back from aligning with your highest potential and purpose.
MINERALS
Your brain does a constant analysis of the nourishment it gets from the foods you consume. This has a major effect on appetite regulation. Mineral deficiencies can trigger
Your thoughts and beliefs control your biology. How you perceive life has a direct effect on your biochemistry. Often there needs to be a recognition of programmed beliefs before you can change them. Are you stuck in a cycle of self-sabotage, bad relationships, bad
46 WELLNESS JUNE 2023
GUT HEALTH
habits, or a lack of fulfillment?
On a physical level, we are exposed to a bombardment of toxins that have a major effect on our microbiome, cellular health, and mineral levels in the body.
Toxicities come in many forms, and it’s up to you to recognise them, put up some boundaries, and make the changes necessary to limit your exposure and cleanse your body and mind.
RESTORING BALANCE
Instead of a mechanistic view of your body, focus on a holistic approach that seeks to nourish you on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Start to build some awareness of your current state of being. What is not in balance? What have you ignored? What is your body trying to tell you?
In order to effectively listen to your body, you need to cut out the interference. The easiest way to do this is to align with nature. Eat quality wholefoods, spend time in nature, and trust that you are exactly where you need to be.
Your body is working for you, not against you. Tune in and listen to what it has to say.
