Now you really have zero excuse to skip your workout - BYANNIE DALY
You know that exercise helps you stay fit and toned and can help you slim down. But that’s soooo not the only reason to hit the gym—it’s also hugely helpful for your psyche. We rounded up the top ways that it helps your brain, not just your body: 1. It helps alleviate depression: Research shows that exercise is so effective at chasing away the blues, it can even help treat major depressive disorder. In fact, last year, researchers at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center came up with clinical guidelines for the necessary exercise “dose” doctors should recommend to patients to reap the antidepressant effects. 2. It improves your memory: Getting your heart rate up improves blood flow to the brain, which helps boost memory and overall brain function. In one study that looked at brain structure pre- and post-workout, researchers found increases in brain volume in a number of areas after participants got sweaty. The effect is pretty noticable, too: Patients in the study did 10 to 15 percent better on a variety of memory and attention tasks after they’d exercised. 3. It helps you de-stress: When you’re stressed, it’s often because your to-do list is a mile long—so you probably feel like it would just be more nerve-wracking to try to squeeze in a workout on top of everything else. But here’s why you should: A study that came out last year from the University of Colorado at Boulder found that even forced exercise can help protect you from anxiety and stress. So stop making excuses, and get thee to the gym when you’re feeling frantic. 4. It makes you more focused: After evaluating more than 100 studies on exercise, University of Iowa researchers concluded that strength training helps your focus because it requires focus: After all, it takes some serious effort to eek out those reps without sacrificing the correct form, all while remembering to breathe and tuning out the distracting guy huffing and puffing beside you. 5. It helps you stick to your goals: In the same University of Iowa study, researchers concluded that, since cardio requires such long and consistent effort, doing a lot of it may help you develop an ability to follow through with tasks. That, in turn, can help you stick to other (non-exercise-related) goals that require long-term effort. http://www.women.shealthmag.com/fitness/how-does-exercise-affect-your-brain

10 ways to invest R500 a month BUSINESS/PERSONAL-FINANCE/FINANCIAL-PLANNING/INVESTMENTS By: Martin Hesse Half a grand doesn’t buy you much these days, not even a trolley of groceries; perhaps a dinner for two at a moderately upmarket restaurant, if you choose a cheapish bottle of wine. Conversely, it’s probably not very difficult to find R500 a month to put aside for a rainy day. Let’s say you’ve given your budget the once-over and found a spare R500 that you can afford to put away month after month for at least five years. As with any investment, you want the best returns at as low a risk as possible, and preferably a savings or investment vehicle that is flexible enough to allow you to deposit extra or, in an emergency, withdraw your money at short notice. You may be immediately attracted to the obvious safe banking options (or “solutions” as they are happily called in bank-speak), such as a debit order from your current account into a separate savings or notice account. But these generally offer very low rates of return. Looking further afield, you should find ways to earn a better return without necessarily taking on more risk. At the very least, you want to beat inflation, which eats into your savings relentlessly and mercilessly, and which can result in an alarming drop in the value of your money over time - just how alarming is illustrated in the following example: Assume you want to save up for a specific consumer item that today would cost you R30 000. If there was no inflation, your R500 a month over five years would exactly pay for it – you could stash the money under your mattress. But assuming a constant annual inflation rate of 4.2 percent (the figure for year-on-year CPI inflation at the end of April 2011), the item will cost you R36 852 five years from now. You would have to save for more than an extra year to make up the shortfall (by which time the price would have risen again, to over R38 400!). Putting your cash under the mattress, you might think you could keep up with inflation by increasing your contributions by the inflation rate (4.2 percent in this example) each year. Your contributions would look like this (the figures have been rounded off to whole rands): 1. Year 1: R6 000 (R500 a month) 2. Year 2: R6 252 (R521 a month) 3. Year 3: R6 515 (R543 a month) 4. Year 4: R6 788 (R566 a month) 5. Year 5: R7 073 (R589 a month) 6. Total: R32 628 It may come as a surprise that you are still not close to the R36 852 you’ll need. This is because not only are your yearly increases lagging behind inflation, but you are accumulating your target amount over a long period (five years), whereas inflation is taking its toll on the entire cost of the item from the very beginning. In fact, you would have to increase your monthly amount by around double the inflation rate each year to have enough to buy the item after five years – or save a constant R614 a month.
on
So, for saving to be worthwhile, you need not only to earn an above-inflation return but you also have to increase your contributions each year so that the value of those contributions doesn’t diminish. However, for ease of comparison, we’ll keep the contributions at a flat R500 a month.
Staroot Journal
It’s time to move out of the bedroom and see what is available to you – and compare returns, risks, costs and accessibility. The break-even figure to beat inflation is R33 365 – that’s what you would save at a 4.2-percent interest rate, equal to the inflation rate. All bank rates and costs are quoted as at May 31, 2011, and it is assumed that the interest rate and inflation rate remain constant over the five years. Bear in mind, though, that we’re at the bottom of an interest rate cycle and inflation is rising, and interest rates are likely to rise too. Only products that fit the investment criteria of R500 a month for five years have been reviewed – there are various other products for investors with larger amounts, for longer-term savings, and for lump-sum investments.
Call 081 4967 506
You are also liable for capital gains tax (CGT) on any capital gains that you make when you sell or surrender your investment. For the year, your first R17 500 is tax-free and you pay tax at your marginal rate on 25 percent of the rest of your gains. Note that these are discretionary, medium-term savings – the options presented should be considered only after you have fulfilled your long-term financial obligations, such as being on track to save enough for your retirement and saving for your children’s education.
