Desserts that won’t break your diet TEXT: DES PHOTOS: ISTOCKPHOTO
Fruit Bake
Fruits are the most ideal choice because of their natural sugar content. If you get bored of fresh fruits, you can serve them baked. Baked fruits taste sweeter and fluids such as syrup are removed, hence no additional sugar is needed. Select your favourite fruits, (perhaps pineapple, peach, apple or pear) cut crosswise, and bake for four minutes.
Ultimate Foot Rejuvenation
$9.95 UP:$24.95
Frozen Yogurt
Most frozen yogurts are good for those who are on diet and should be no more than 70 calories per serving. You should also look through their nutrient content and calories when selecting. Choose only fresh fruits for topping and avoid adding excess sugary foods such as cookies, jelly or syrup.
Smoothies
Smoothies are appropriate dessert choices for dieting, as they are made from real fruits and low fat yogurt. Select your favourite fruits (fresh or frozen). Put them into a blender, add 1/2 cup of low-fat yogurt and blend until smooth. Some of the recommended fruit combinations include: Strawberry with mango, or blueberries with pineapple.

How to stay
healthy and fit
in this festive season TEXT: LEO BABAUTA (from article ‘20 Small Actions to Create a Fit Environment’) PHOTOS: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS I’ve learned, in the last seven years of getting fitter each year (from a really bad starting point), that when it comes to getting in shape, your environment is everything. Small things I’ve done to change my environment make my life set up for getting fitter, slowly, gradually, but surely. It was all a matter of creating the right environment. I’m happy to tell you that the changes aren’t that hard to make, and can be done over time.

Reboot Your Family in 5 Simple Ways TEXT: SHERRI KRUGER IMAGE: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
Is your family stuck in a rut? Are you bored? Do you find yourself wondering how you got so far off track? You’re not alone! All families go through times like these occasionally. I have a great family who I love dearly but that’s not to say we get off track from time to time. I want to share with you a few things we do occasionally to get back on the same page.
1. Have deep and meaningful conversations. The simple act of sitting and talking about things that matter can do wonders to deepen the understanding we have for one another. 2. Be present. You can only fully experience something and give someone your undivided attention when you don’t have the temptation to be somewhere other than where you are in that moment. Your family is no different. 3. Do something fun. Team activities where you have to work together to succeed
are great ways to promote trust, increase the sense of belonging and unite you as a team. 4. Plan for the future. Planning together gives a sense of longevity to the relationship and gives you something to work towards together. 5. Invest in your family. Take the time to really put your family first. Investing a bit of time and energy in your family can tighten that core unit, make everyone feel safe and secure and raise happiness to levels you only imagined.

Essential Tips for
Traveling with a Family
TEXT: LEO BABAUTA IMAGE: WIKIMEDIA COMMONS
Avoid tourist traps. If you go to highly touristed places, avoid the shops and restaurants that surround them. They are expensive, bad quality, and aimed at the tastes of tourists instead of locals. Walk 5-10 minutes to find something better.
Ask locals for recommendations. Guide books and the Internet are great, but the best recommendations come from people who really live there. In each city, I would ask locals for recommendations before or during the trip, and come up with some delightful discoveries.
Gelato will keep kids happy. Kids get tired walking, and bored of historical sites and museums. But if you buy them a gelato every afternoon, they perk up, and smiles suddenly appear as if from nowhere.
One or two days isn’t enough to see a place. I found 4-5 days a better number. In one or two days, you’re rushing through the major sites and don’t get to relax, or if you go at a slower pace you don’t get enough of a sample of a city to really know it.
It’s a grand adventure. Things will go wrong. You’ll not only get lost, you’ll lose things, miss trains, find the place you’re going to closed. You can make the best of plans, but the truth is, you don’t control things. Life has its own plans. The key is to smile, accept the way things are, and see it all as part of your great adventure.
