FOOD & HOME

The Mediterranean lifestyle and its benefits

3

When you hear the word “Mediterranean,” what do you think of? Perhaps you envision crusty loaves of bread, tender olives, and fresh herbs. Or maybe you imagine a glass of red wine shared with friends. Better yet, you might picture yourself watching the sunset over a lush vineyard from the open deck of a grand Tuscan villa.

All these things are characteristically Mediterranean, but they do not define the Mediterranean lifestyle. In the same way, there is no single Mediterranean diet, because the word Mediterranean is used to describe a group of more than 15 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. You may be wondering what then constitutes the Mediterranean diet trend that has recently become popular. Rather than prescribing a strict set of rules for foods to eat and foods to avoid, the Mediterranean diet offers guidelines for a healthfy way of life. The Mediterranean diet is about more than just food, however – it is about living life to its fullest and being healthy as you do. The Mediterranean diet is about eating wholesome foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, wholesome grains, beans, nuts, and seeds. And who could forget olive oil, fresh fish, and good wine?

Though the Mediterranean diet is high in dietary fat, more than half of the fat calories consumed in the Mediterranean diet come from monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fat comes from sources like olive oil and avocados. In 2009, a study was published in the Journal of Nutrition regarding the effect of the Mediterranean diet on the risk for chronic disease. The results of this study suggest that an eating pattern high in plant foods and unsaturated fats, like the Mediterranean diet, can reduce the risk for lower abdominal obesity and coronary heart disease (Romaguera et al., 2009).

The Mediterranean diet is all about healthy eating habits and enjoying the food you eat.

(Article by Kath Megaw, co-author of Feeding Sense (Metz Press, 2012. Kath holds four medical qualifications including a paediatric dietetic qualification from Johns Hopkins. She frequently speaks to groups of both professionals and parents on infant and childhood nutrition, and appears on television and radio shows. Kath has been in private practice for the past 15 years and is the founder of Nutripaeds, a paediatric dietetic practice.)

Following a Mediterranean diet is just as easy when it comes to packing healthy lunches and lunchboxes. You can use wholesome, natural fish products, including herring, calamari, and herbed and peppered mackerel, which is a real hit when added to veggies or a fresh salad. For lunchboxes, yummy humus dips, pates and unprocessed cheeses add some protein to the mix. Throw in some veggie crudités and a delicious fresh fruit and you will be set up for the day. Cheeses like modified cheese and Edam cheese are gentle in flavour and loved by most children. For those who have dairy allergies, add some drained chickpeas and beans for extra protein instead. Olives, which are high in unsaturated fats, will keep you fuller for longer and add those booster carries for fussy eaters. Don't forget the treats! Halva is a delicous Mediterranean delicacy. Packed with protein and calories, a small piece goes a long way to quietening that sweet tooth. Try out different flavours, such as vanilla or chocolate. (See page 6 for more lunchbox ideas.)

Decorate with pallets & glass jars Pallets are one of the biggest trends in upcycling materials for décor purposes. The creative possibilities of creating beautiful pieces with pallets are almost endless, not to mention budget friendly.

Get into the habit of looking at pallets and other materials with new eyes.

When one goes on a site like Pinterest, one often wonders ‘why didn’t I think of that?’. Very simple ideas are very effective, as can be seen in these few samples of using pallets and things from nature, like wild flowers and sea sand. These things cost nothing and add a rustic, down-to-earth feeling to any home.

Wall vases Create individual wall vases with old, weathered pallets, mason jars and clamps. Thess wall décor ideas are perfect examples of how to use ordinary stuff in very creative and beautiful ways.

HEALTH

7 compelling reasons why children should exercise

You exercise regularly because you want to enjoy the benefits of exercise.

Exercise offers the same benefits to your children. Here are seven of the most important benefits.

4 to 8 March 2016

National School Health Week Use these tips to help your kids keep healthy at school.

1.

Exercise helps children maintain a healthy weight Childhood obesity is becoming one of the biggest health issues facing our generation. And since obesity is a direct trigger for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, it’s crucial for children to maintain a healthy weight.

Exercise builds strong muscles and bones The human body builds its bones during childhood (before the teen years). That means childhood is the optimal time to build bone density through exercise (especially body weight exercise). Strong muscles aren’t just something adults should have! Kids benefit from having strong muscles too – they’re less likely to suffer injuries while they conquer the playground.

Exercise boosts mood and improves concentration Kids need to be able to concentrate to learn. And they learn better and learn more when they’re happy.

Exercise causes the body to release endorphins – natural happy hormones and tranquilisers. Not only do these leave kids feeling happier, it also settles their energy levels, making it easier for them to concentrate.

If your kid can concentrate well, he’s more likely to perform better at school.

Exercise boosts self-image and self-esteem When you engage in exercise, you feel stronger, faster, fitter and leaner. This makes you feel more selfconfident. Kids also feel that way after exercise.

Exercise in the form of team sports improves social skills Team sports teach kids how to socialise and communicate. These improve interpersonal skills, which a kid will need – and rely on – for life!

Exercise helps kids sleep better (and sleep longer) Children need sleep – their brains are developing fast. But there’s evidence that this development only happens when kids sleep. So sleep deprivation is, quite literally, bad for a kid’s brain. Exercise provides the ideal release for kids’ energy, allowing the child to sleep well thereafter.

Exercise improves motor coordination and skills Through exercise, children refine and improve their motor skills and their coordination. This makes them better able to perform all sorts of tasks throughout life.

So sign your kid up for a team sport and make sure you make time to play with your kids (skip, hop, jump and race!). The benefits are powerful and long-lasting.

A healthy lunchbox

Growing youngsters need a healthy snack for the busy days they face at school. Remember that a balanced lunchbox will not only provide children with the energy they need, but it will also keep them healthy and happy.

Active kids

2.

Children need to move to develop well.

Most children love to move naturally, but encourage your child to move for fun. It will boost their brains and also help them to sleep better to revive their energies.

3.

Non-toxic stationery

When purchasing stationery like crayons, pens and glue, make sure that the products are non-toxic.

This will prevent any harm to your children. Always buy safety scissors that may prevent injury to your child and their friends.

Emergency numbers

4.

Make sure your kids have access to and know how to use emergency numbers. When there’s an injury at school, they know who to phone to help them.

7 Lunchbox ideas from food & health celebrities HEALTH

Patrick Holford’s lunchboxes

Jamie Oliver’s lunchboxes

A well-planned lunchbox will energise your child, both physically and mentally.

Carbohydrate-containing foods with a lower glycemic index (GI) are the foods that supply a steady source of energy. Adding lean protein (the size of the palm) and a little fat (such as cottage cheese) helps to prolong steady energy release.

Adding veggies and/or fruit contributes to the vitamin content. Round off the lunchbox with a tub of plain live yoghurt and a bottle of water. For snack time, pack some dried fruit, seeds and nuts and pack all the foods in individual containers with an ice brick. Children love the surprise of opening little containers and if you add a bit of interest, the lunchbox will come back empty.

Making your child’s lunchboxes is the only way you can be sure you know what’s going into them. You can tailor the lunchboxes to suit your children’s tastes and choose good-quality ingredients to make the food even more nutritious. Shopbought sandwiches and snacks are often packed with additives and can also be loaded with mayonnaise, sauces or dressings that are high in fat and salt.

If your child always takes a packed lunch to school, try to mix things up a bit so they aren’t eating the same old thing every day. Keep the ingredients fresh, the flavours exciting, and make different options throughout the week to keep things interesting. You can even use up the leftovers from your evening meals in your lunches, which will save you time and money. If you’re stuck for new ideas, use the list below for some inspiration.

For a well-balanced meal that will keep you going all day, aim for a good mix of protein and carbohydrates with plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Sandwich ideas • Purée vegetables such as leftover roasted vegetables to use as a sandwich spread. Add a little mayonnaise and some leftover meat and put on a low GI roll or use as a sandwich with rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread.

• Biltong and cottage cheese on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread.

• Mashed hard-boiled egg with homemade sandwich spread on rye or wholewheat/low GI bread.

• Nut butter and honey (raw) on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread.

• Tuna and mayo with lettuce and tomato on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread.

• Toasted cheese and egg on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread.

Patrick Holford is a pioneer in new approaches to health and nutrition. He is widely regarded as Britain’s best-selling author and leading spokesman on nutrition and mental health issues. Patrick is also popular on radio shows and international television as a presenter, interviewer and guest.

Savoury A flask of home-made soup with a hunk of nice bread and a small wedge of tasty cheese, slices of home-made pizza, quiche or frittata, or pittas stuffed with mini home-made kebabs. Salads with a great dressing can also make brilliant lunches.

You can use everything from seasonal vegetables and salad leaves to pasta, couscous, lentils or potatoes mixed with different cheeses or meats. By adding toasted nuts, seeds or dried fruit, you can get a really exciting contrast of textures and flavours. It’s a good idea to take the dressing in a separate container so you can toss it through the salad right before eating. That way everything will be crunchy and lovely rather than soggy.

Source: http://www.holforddirect.co.za/2015/03/06/school-health-week-lunchbox-ideas/

Sweet A fresh fruit salad, a tablespoon of dried fruit, stewed fruit and natural yoghurt, a slice of fruit bread, fresh fruit skewers, oaty biscuits, home-made flapjacks, or granola bars packed with lots of nuts and seeds.

Drinks Home-made fruit smoothies, water with a wedge of fresh lemon or lime, milk, or freshly squeezed fruit juice mixed with sparkling water. Pop a carton of 100% unsweetened fruit juice in the freezer overnight. Pack it in your child’s lunchbox first thing and by lunchtime they will have a lovely slushy cold drink.

Jamie Oliver is an English celebrity chef, restaurateur and media personality known for his food-focused television shows and cookbooks, and more recently his global campaign for better food education, especially in schools and school cafeterias and tuck shops.

Help support children with cancer through CHOC-olate Did you know that every three minutes, somewhere in the world a family hears the devastating news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer? According to the American Childhood Cancer Organisation, globally more than 250 000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Fortunately, through the advances made in treatment, childhood cancer is largely curable.

Monday, 15 February is International Childhood Cancer Day. To help play your part in supporting children with cancer and their families, the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation, which provides nationwide physical and psychosocial support to children with cancer, is making it that much easier with its CHOC-olate loyalty programme.

Not only can people help raise funds for the organisation, but be rewarded for it.

For a minimum monthly contribution, members gain access to an array of 2-for-the-price-of-1 benefits including 2-for-1 movie tickets nationwide, 2-for-1 dining at over 750 restaurants across the country, 2-for-1 beauty treatments at over 750 service providers, and 2-for-1 tickets from Computicket outlets, up to the value of R150 each. Benefits can

also be redeemed on holiday or travel, with venues spread throughout the country. Fully utilised benefits would be to the value of more than R3 000 a month. Of the minimum contribution, over 50% goes to CHOC and the remainder goes towards the benefit costs. If a member opts to increase the donation portion, then the addition goes entirely to CHOC. CHOC-olate will help ensure that CHOC expands services in line with the organisation’s growing number of beneficiaries. Without their holistic support, many children – particularly those from low-income households living far from treatment centres – would not be able to access or adhere to treatment, which can last up to three years.

DF Malherbe se toekomstige redaksiespanlede word opgelei!

Indien jou skooltydskrif al as dié beste in Suid-Afrika bekroon is, besef jy hoe belangrik dit is dat elke lid van dié redaksie presies weet wat hy of sy doen.

Die redaksie van die Malherbiet, Hoërskool DF Malherbe se tydskrif, het aan die einde van Januarie hul opleidingsnaweek gehad.

Mej. Adéle Bosch, die eindredakteur, het die lesings aangebied. So het redaksielede onder andere van die struktuur van ‘n tydskrif, hoe om ‘n kop en intro te skryf en goeie onderhoudvoer- vaardighede geleer.

Voorbeelde uit koerante en tydskrifte is in groepsverband ontleed. Die eerste uitgawe is ook deeglik beplan.

Saterdag het dié ervare rekenaaroperateurs, Nicole Green en Thandolwethu Njengane, beide in Graad 12, die redaksielede geleer hoe om ‘n berig op die rekenaar uit te lê.

Chanelle Olivier, ook in Graad 12, die hooffotograaf, het die ander fotograwe opgelei terwyl Tarien Hough, Graad 11, haar advertensiewerfgeheime verklap het.

Daar is nie net hard gewerk nie, maar ook heerlik gelag tydens ontspanningsgeleenthede, en weggelê aan die smaaklike etes en verrassings.

Die naweek is met die tradisionele kampkonsert afgesluit waartydens die nuwe redaksielede moes wys wat in hulle steek. Vanjaar het die ou redaksielede die konsert met ‘n impromto- item afgesluit. Die redaksie is nou vuur en vlam vir alles wat in 2016 op hulle wag.

Pearson Water Project Pearson launched a week long water collection project which is aimed at lightening the load on some of the drought stricken areas of the province.

The project was a School House initiative and each of the five Houses at the school had to collect about 90 five litre bottles of water, with total collections looking being a total of 500 five litre bottles by the end of the week! PEARSON collected over 2000 bottles.

Our collections were handed over to Port Elizabeth Water Collection For Farmers.

Thank you to all for your wonderful support!
