Food enthusiasts can look forward to completely new models and a unique method of generating and delivering steam. Miele steam ovens still operate on the principle of generating steam outside the inner cabinet. This offers practical benefits – there are no lime deposits in the cabinet and cooking times are independent of the quantity of food being cooked. This principle has now been optimised for the new models. Miele steam ovens generate the steam in a number of different ways – these include MultiSteam, which admits steam trough eight inlet ports to shorten heat-up cycles and distribute steam evenly; and MonoSteam in which steam is produced by boiling water in a tank, and then admitted to the cabinet through a single port ideal for smaller models. There are many health benefits to cooking with steam, including optimum retention of vitamins, nutrients, flavour, colour and texture. Combination steam cookers represent the pinnacle of modern cooking appliances, as they combine a steam cooker and a wall oven in one single appliance.

Nothing beats the winter bush While summertime in the bush is lush and green with hot and sunny days, the best time to head for a weekend safari is when winter strips the trees bare and opens up the vegetation to reveal the very best of African wildlife. You may have to brave the cold morning air, but the experience is worth it. By Fiona Zerbst

I LOVE GAME-VIEWING in winter. The lack of rain in parks in Mpumalanga and Limpopo, for example, means bushes and trees are a lot sparser. Animals can’t hide as well as they do in long grass, and so they’re easier to spot. Winter days can be nippy, but they are most often sunny and bright, which provides the best light for photography. Bush walks and horse-back or elephantback safaris are great in winter, too, as temperatures are moderate and visibility is excellent. But bear in mind that most animals do wait for a little warmth before they venture out on winter mornings – predawn sightings are not guaranteed (though not impossible, of course).
Craig Beaton, a veteran of the bush who trains game guides, says that you’re almost guaranteed to spot wildlife around dams and waterholes because water is scarce in winter. “Come at about 9am or after 4pm and you’ll definitely see something – plains game at the very least,” he says. Game ranger Tosha van Niekerk says that game, especially plains game, tend to move to slightly higher ground in winter, especially at night, purely because it’s warmer. So find out which areas this would cover in the park or reserve of your choice. “Where there is game, there will be predators,” he says, “so keep an eye out.” Other factors will also affect game movement. Although Kruger game tend to
travel south in winter to look for new food sources, for example, fire may also affect their travel patterns, so a fire in the south may keep them away. It’s best to ask a ranger or someone at a smaller camp what environmental factors could be affecting animal movements. Rain, wind and heat (animals will seek water) will also play a role.
Set up your sightings
Around mid-morning, expect to see zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, impala and kudu congregating at waterholes. Predator sightings are rare during morning hours – big cats, wild dogs and hyena become active during late afternoon, in preparation for night-time hunting.
balancing act
If you’re driving, bear in mind that different biomes (types of habitat) like bushveld, plains or thickets, will be home to different species – South Africa has seven major vegetation zones. When you visit a national park or reserve, find out how many are common to the park and use a guidebook to familiarise yourself with animal habitats. Leopard, for example, tend to prefer dense bush, forest and rocky areas; cheetah need open areas to hunt, so they prefer Savannah. Our tragically threatened white rhino are being poached here as elsewhere, but Hluhluwe-Umfolozi in KwaZulu-Natal is still a good place to see them in reasonable abundance. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife has deployed more field rangers with antipoaching equipment, which is good news for future generations.
Tips for park visits
• Take sunscreen. Yes, even the winter sun can be harsh. Protect your skin. • Only two parks in South Africa carry a malaria risk, and the risk is low: Kruger National Park and Mapungubwe National Park. But if you’re worried, take insect repellant and chat to your
minute: www.bushbreaks.co.za offers discounted rates at over 190 luxury game lodges and country retreats. • SanParks offer: If you prefer to gamewatch in summer (or you’re not fussy), SanParks is offering discounts for selected camps at nine of its parks for stays between 25 November and 7 December 2012. Book online here: www.sanparks.org. • If you really love nature, consider getting a Wild Card from SanParks. Membership gives you unlimited access to premier conservation areas, depending on which membership cluster you opt for. For example, for access to over 80 parks and reserves, a family rate is R700. A SanParks Cluster (for 21 national parks) is R640 a family. Visit www.wildcard.co.za for more information.

a respectful distance). Fairly small, with some exclusive accommodation, Madikwe in the North West is excellent for all kinds of sightings, but its Wild Dog Project has allowed these endangered animals to thrive. Because they are rare, they are a must-see. Big parks aside, there are hundreds of private reserves all over the country, so do some research online – you’ll find all sorts of gems tucked away in the Waterberg, for example, and even the Cape (like Aquila, which is a Big 5 reserve).
Private lodges within Kruger National Park are always fabulous, but remember that Kruger’s smaller camps are great for frequent visitors: if you’re not hung up on luxury, the huts, tents and caravans within communal camps are perfectly comfortable. Best prize is you’re surrounded by game. Author and bush expert, Nigel Dennis says if you want to see lion, try Satara first, then Lower Sabie/Crocodile Bridge, Skukuza and Shingwedzi. If it’s leopard you’re looking for, Sabi Sand, and Londolozi in particular, boast a larger concentration of these amazing cats.They are exclusive and pricey, but worth it! Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape is home to the Big 5, but the park has a real wealth of elephant, so you can get close to these mostly gentle giants (not too close, though – cars should keep
Read all about it: doctor beforehand. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. • Invest in a small First Aid kit, which contains all the basics: antihistamines, plasters, bandages, disinfectant, local anaesthetic. • If you’re going to ramble, wear good walking shoes and a hat. And always carry water, no matter how cold the weather. Don’t forget binoculars!

Copyright Mark Holtshousen
MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE been made at defining what would comprise such a life. Generally these include family, career, recreation, health, relationships, personal growth, finances and spirituality. The problem arises when you think equal attention and time must be given to every area of your life. This is the reason many of us have come to believe that the concept of a balanced life is impossible to achieve. I prefer the concept of a meaningful life: one that is maximally fulfilling, rewarding, and purposeful. This does not mean you have to spend your time desperately trying to balance everything perfectly, but rather it is about learning to understand that different seasons in your life calls for different focus areas. These focus areas are both natural and necessary, but not at the expense of the other areas. Creating a positive mental state and an
optimistic outlook on life is linked to good health. This is because your health is largely determined by the sum total of the meaning (or value) that you experience in all areas of your life. This is why focussing on only one or two areas, and not paying attention to the rest, can lead to stress and unhappiness. Of course, you can (or should) focus on your career during your thirties and forties, but to expect your career to be the sole contributor of meaning places both unrealistic expectations and dangerous dependency on that one area. This is why we hear about people whose lives fall apart completely when they are retrenched or they choose to retire. What happened? Chances are that their career was the only part of their life from which they were getting any meaning or satisfaction. As a coach, I have often been asked what I believe a balanced life looks like. An easier question to answer is what an imbalanced life looks like, and this is it: a life in which meaning is confined to some areas and ignored in others. How does this happen? It happens when we don’t pay attention.
Our fast-paced lives with stressful jobs, the demands of raising a family, wanting to keep fit and healthy, and still finding time to add adventure to our lives leaves most of us searching for the answers to a happy and balanced life. What is a balanced life? How do we achieve this? When we get completely focussed on one or two areas, we leave the others to default (we simply overlook them and assume “life will take care of itself”). Defaulting never results in meaning. No one accidentally finds their way into a meaningful, balanced life. A great example is physical fitness; this is an important part of life for everyone and it impacts on all other areas. It is also the one that is most easily left to default – who wants to face the cold and dark winter morning to go to gym? Yet so many of us press the snooze button in the mornings, or turn on the TV in the evenings. Yet I am convinced that there is no area that can contribute a greater sense of achievement, gratification, positivity, and purpose in our lives. Getting fit and healthy can create these results no matter what is happening in other areas of your life. The impact of seeing improvement or achievement in one area of your life can make a huge difference when other areas are difficult, stressful or even slow. Fitness is ideal because it can help motivate you in other areas of your life as well. What are you waiting for? Remember, life doesn’t take care of itself, you do!

Pick the Right Spot Before you pick the right spot for your campfire, make sure that you have permission to make a campfire in the specific area you intend on using. Make sure that the weather conditions are favorable. If it is a very windy and dry day, don’t even think about striking that match. Choose a place clear of dense vegetation (around, underneath and above) as well as away from flammable objects that may be a hazard.

There is just something to be said about a camp fire, made from wood, out in the bush – sitting around with like-minded people, sharing stories about all things wild and wonderful, while the sounds of nature fill the night air. No wonder staring into flickering flames while smoke is circling upwards is fondly referred to as ‘bush television’.In order for this kind of entertainment to function properly and safely, whether it is for cooking, keeping warm or just for atmosphere, there are certain rules and guidelines that need to be followed. And by doing this, you will ensure a most enjoyable experience with memories to last a lifetime. Courtesy of Eco Training

Build and Prepare the Pit It is preferable to use an already existing fireplace so as to avoid any unnecessary problems. If no fireplace exists, build your own by digging a hole at least 30 centimetres deep and make a border around the hole using rocks. Clear the immediate area of any flammable plant material and other objects.
Maintain the Fire
18
www.we-care.co.za
Keep the fire small and under control. Large fires are dangerous and can get out of control quickly. Make your fire just big enough to meet your needs, whether it is for cooking or keeping warm. The smaller the fire, the safer it is. Never use flammable liquid (petrol, diesel, etc.) to try to keep the fire going, or even when you are trying to get it started.
Extinguish the Fire
ISSUE 2 2014
Never leave your fire unattended, even for a very short amount of time. Always keep a bucket of water nearby. Children and pets should always be supervised when near a fire. When finished, put the fire out properly with water, not soil, as fires can still smoulder under soil and can stay hot for a long time. Accidents can still happen and children can still be burned by hot ashes even hours later.
Build the Fire Bring your own firewood or only use dead wood lying on the ground. Using branches or leaves from living trees damages the environment and can cause high levels of smoke. Collect enough of the right dry material for the campfire – tinder (dead grass, small twigs) that will flame easily when lit by a match, kindling (small branches) that will keep the initial flames burning and fuel (heavier firewood) that will do the real job of providing the heat. Put a couple of handfuls of tinder in the middle of the fire hole and ignite with a match or firelighter and slowly add more. As the fire grows, add kindling and eventually the heavier firewood to keep the fire going. Remember that a campfire must have oxygen in order to burn, so lay the materials in such a way so that air can flow easily.

Water with Lemon: Retaining water is actually your body's way of holding onto fluid so you don't dehydrate. Lemons are a natural diuretic so consuming the liquid can help reduce the amount of salt retained in the body.

Celery: Over the years this green crunchy stalk has been used as a digestive aid to regulate bowel movements and to control intestinal gas because its chemicals are known to decrease fluid retention.
02
Watermelon: All kinds of melons are beneficial to your health, but watermelon is known as one of the juiciest fruits because it is 92% water. It has a natural diuretic property and is a great source of potassium – balancing sodium and potassium is important for controlling bloat.

Understanding Chiropractic treatment Before you decide whether or not to visit a Chiropractor for your aches and pains, it is best to get a basic understanding of what Chiropractic is all about so that you can make informed decisions for your health and that of your family.

CHIROPRACTIC QUITE SIMPLY is a healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and management of neuro-muscular skeletal conditions that are due to mechanical dysfunction of the joints and muscles.
How does Chiropractic work ?
As a natural and complementary healthcare solution, chiropractic works to understand the cause and source of your complaint. Chiropractic treatment involves safe, gentle and specific manipulation of the spine and other areas of your body to unlock joints that are not moving correctly, to ensure greater and improved movement and to relieve pain. It allows your body to use its own healing ability correctly and effectively and creates a healthy balance for a physically fit future.
Who is your chiropractor ?
Chiropractors are doctors of chiropractic practice. Having trained for six years to achieve their qualification, they are then expected to update their knowledge and attend regular seminars. To practice in South Africa, chiropractors have to be registered with the Allied Health Professions Council and with the Chiropractic Association.
When is Chiropractic a healing option ? Bach ache: Chiropractic provides a long term, successful solution for suffers of back pain and is recognised as the most physically and cost effective treatment for back pain.
Headaches: Chiropractic treats the cause of the pain, not just the pain itself, and is the safe and sensible alternative to anti-inflammatory and pain killers.
Neck pain: Your neck supports the weight and movement of your head and chiropractic ensures that your neck keeps doing its job properly and pain free. Whiplash: Treatment is focused on the root of the problem and goes beyond what may or may not be revealed on the x-rays. Re-establishing normal function to the neck and its supporting structures is of vital importance for symptom relief and future stability. Sporting injuries: Chiropractic ensures a faster and more effective recovery after a sporting injury and is often the preferred therapy by sports people.
Pregnancy: Chiropractic is of great benefit to pregnant woman who have to cope with changes in weight bearing and posture and cannot take medicine.
Arthritis and joint pain: Regular treatment helps to maintain the functionality of the affected joints and relieves the aches and pains associated with this debilitating disease.

Two thirds of adults report not getting enough sleep – not surprising considering everything we have to worry about these days. But getting the proper 7-9 hours of sleep can have benefits ranging from a boosted immune system to a balanced appetite. There are several contributing factors that can affect your ability to get enough shut eye – here are the tips that will put a halt to counting sheep. By Nicola Weir

health habits
Moderating your Diet 01
Keep an eye on your evening diet. Try to stop eating three hours before bedtime. Digestion slows down at night, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. The heavier the meal, the longer it will take for your stomach to settle.
Set the Stage 06
Lower the lights an hour before bedtime. As the evening works its way towards bed time, start lowering the overall light level in your home. Your body can't tell the difference between "bright light" and "daylight" for purposes of regulating your sleep. A darkening room tells your body that sleep time is near, and it will start producing the hormones that aid in falling, and staying, asleep.
07
Switch to decaffeinated coffee. Avoid black teas, cocoa, and caffeinated soda, especially in the evenings. Caffeine can keep you awake even if you drank it earlier in the day as its effects can last up to 12 hours. Avoid tobacco products in the evenings as well.
04
Don't drink and sleep. Try to avoid drinking water or other fluids one hour before you go to sleep, but make sure you drink at least two litres of water during the day. A well-hydrated body will not wake you up in the middle of the night, but drink a big glass of water just before bed, and you will be up in the middle of the night to de-hydrate.
05
Skip that nightcap. While alcohol will make you feel sleepy, it reduces the quality of your sleep as your body processes the alcohol and sugars. Alcohol tends to produce broken, shallow sleep – even if you don't notice the periods of waking during the night.
Perfect Timing 09
Get on schedule. Varying your sleeping times by more than an hour can severely disrupt your sleep quality by breaking your circadian rhythm, and advancing the sleep phase. Your body loves routine so erratic sleeping sessions will interfere with your internal biological clock, either leaving you tired during the day, or wide awake in the middle of the night. The conclusion? Do your best to resist sleeping in on the weekends.
10
Take a power nap. For some people, and depending on work and your daily routine, a short rest in the afternoon could help alleviate the drowsiness during the day. But make sure not to oversleep! When you feel the need for a nap, set your alarm for 15 minutes. If you're ready for a nap, you'll be asleep in a minute or two and when the alarm goes off, don't snooze! Have a glass of water, and jump back into work. You will feel much more refreshed – even more so than if you had slept for an hour.
ISSUE 2 2014

08
Add a splash of sound. Use a white noise generator that generates various soothing sounds – surf, wind, steam – these are sounds that have no shape and can help your brain to de-focus. White noise has been shown to not only help people fall asleep more quickly, but it can also disguise other noises that may wake you during the night. Repetitive or ambient music is very good for falling asleep. Just be sure that the music stops or fades out in about an hour, or it could keep you from experiencing really deep sleep.
25
Avoid going to bed on an empty stomach. Conversely, an empty stomach can interfere with your sleep just as much as a full stomach. If you find that your stomach is grumbling for food and is keeping you awake, have a light snack about an hour before bedtime but avoid foods high in carbohydrates or sugar. Instead go for foods like turkey, yogurt, soy beans, tuna, and peanuts – these contain tryptophan, which helps the body produce serotonin promoting relaxation.
www.we-care.co.za
02
Turn out the lights. When it's finally time to hit the sack, keep the room as dark as possible. Exposure to light during the time you're supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body's internal clock. Pull the blinds down or shut the shutters to prevent outdoor lights, or the full moon, from shining in. If you wake up and see any kind of bright light, you'll have a much harder time falling back asleep. Try to eliminate all other sources of light – windows, LED clocks, computer lights, cable boxes, and all those other devices with blinking, glowing lights and LEDs.

A Restful Environment Medication for Better Sleep 11
Make your bedroom a haven. Keep the clutter and chaos of everyday life at a minimum in your bedroom. Keep the textures soothing and inviting, and the light warm and saturated. Get the best sheets you can afford, too: the more comfortable your bed and bedroom are, the more conducive they are to a restful sleep.

Check out new technology. The newer types of mattresses that allow for adjustment or that mould around you may help you get a better night's sleep.Some new mattresses on the market let you adjust the firmness of your bed individually, for both you and your partner. Memory foam has recently soared in popularity because it moulds to the contours of your body as it warms up leaving no "pressure points" that can cause numbness, irritation or other physical issues.

Maintain your mattress. Replace it after five to seven years of regular use. If you feel springs or ridges beneath the surface when you're lying on the bed, or you and your partner tend roll to the middle of the bed (unintentionally), it's time to go mattress shopping.
14
Try melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland in your brain. The pineal actively converts serotonin to melatonin when it is dark. When it is light it does not do so, and the melatonin oxidizes back into serotonin. Artificial lighting-including computer or television monitors, cell phones and tablets – can interfere with the synthesis of melatonin. Supplementing with melatonin pills is a natural way to induce sleep, especially if you are physically tired at night but are still unable to fall asleep.
15 Talk to your doctor about prescribed medication If you're considering sleep medication, you can buy one of several over-the-counter products, which generally can be used safely for a few days. Talk to your doctor about prescribing sleeping tablets. These should be a temporary measure though – perhaps to help you through a difficult or stressful period. The National Sleep Foundation suggests a limit of four weeks while simultaneously working on your sleeping habits. Never combine sleep medications with alcohol or other potentially sedating medicines, and be sure to allow at least 8 hours between taking a sleep medication and driving

A Fit Body Equals a Relaxed Mind 17
Exercise regularly. If you have a sedentary job, a lack of physical exertion may contribute to reducing the quality of your sleep. The human body uses sleep to repair and recover. If there isn't much to recover from, your body's sleep cycle could be disrupted. A day of physical exertion (such as taking a run or a swim) or better yet, regular exercise, can make for deeper and more restful sleep. Don't exercise right before bed to help you get to sleep; while it tires out your muscles, it also boosts your heart rate and causes you to feel even wider awake. Give your body time to cool down, and for you to rehydrate, so consider about two hours before bedtime as the maximum cutoff for exercise.

Take a deep breath. Many outside factors can contribute to overall sleep problems, including stress, certain illnesses, or short-term posttraumatic stress. Have there been any recent events or changes that have been troubling or otherwise preoccupying you? This issue may be following you subconsciously and interfering with your sleep. If the issue itself cannot be addressed or resolved directly, consider employing relaxation techniques such as meditation. Medical help is recommended for mental illness, post-traumatic stress, ongoing distress caused by insomnia, anxiety, etc.
Pick a Position
19
Sleep in a different position. Changing your sleeping position can make a huge difference in the quality of your sleep. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you're doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference to how you sleep and how you feel upon waking. When you go to sleep, or if you wake up in the middle of the night, make a conscious effort to follow these guidelines until they become habits: • Keep your body in a "mid-line" position, where both your head and neck are kept roughly straight. Don't use a pillow that's too skinny, and causes your head to tilt down toward the mattress. Likewise, don't stack your pillows so that your head is propped at an angle. • Place a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. This will support your hips and make this position more comfortable. Place a pillow under your legs if you sleep on your back. • Avoid sleeping on your stomach. It's difficult to maintain the proper position, and it is more likely to cause aches and pains. If you wish to sleep on your stomach, put your pillow under your hips instead of under your head.
Learn to Love Sleep 20
Enjoy your sleep. Being in good physical condition, with the right nutrition, and regular meditation will not only help you get a good night's sleep, it will help you in all areas of your life. When you regularly get a good night's sleep, every part of your life will improve – and once you reap those benefits, it will be even easier to rest easy.

The cardio vs. weight training debate This is probably the most asked question when it comes to fitness: “If I want to lose weight and tone up, which is better to do cardio or weight training? ”The short answer is that you have to do both. By Anna Wood To begin answering this question, you need to have a clear understanding of what each activity actually is and what it entails. Cardio is anything with relatively low intensity that elevates your heart rate and which you can do for a prolonged period of time. Examples are aerobics, going for a 5km jog, running on a treadmill for an hour, using the elliptical for twenty minutes, etc. Weight training is any form of training where the lifting of weights or some form of resistance training come into play, some of these are mechanical weight assisted equipment, body weight training, and free weight training.
Pros and Cons for Cardio
When it comes to weight loss, cardio is the most basic type of workout you can do. You will be able to burn a good amount of calories without the need for any fitness equipment, just a pair of good running shoes and your legs. A 20 minute mildintensity run outdoors will enable you to burn around 300 calories. Running outside is a better alternative to being indoors as it will challenge you constantly and the risk of getting bored with static treadmill and gym environments is eliminated to some extent. But if your goal is to change your body shape and tone up, it’s definitely not the most efficient form of exercise. You will lose weight by burning calories, but you won’t shape your body. Also remember that with
cardio, as soon as you stop exercising you also stop burning calories. The good thing about cardio is that it is very low impact – your body can go for hours and hours, day after day, and not get worn out.
Pros and Cons of Weight Training
Depending on your body type, the problem that you run into with following only cardio-type workouts is that your body shape won’t change i.e. if you have a pear body-type; the pear just becomes a smaller pear. The benefit that weight training has over cardio training is that it allows you to completely reshape your body. Changing your body for instance from the “pear shape” to a more pleasing, balanced upper body and “hour glass” lower body look. Cardio training generally helps with weight loss, but the weight lost is going to be a combination between fat and sacrificed muscle, basically creating a smaller but same shaped version of you. With weight training and following a caloriecontrolled diet, you stand the chance of not only losing weight but also reshaping your body while working out. Another benefit that weight training has over cardio training is that when you do weight training, you not only burn calories while you are exercising but this may continue for up to 36 hours after your workout as opposed to cardio
training where as soon as you stop the activity, you stop burning calories. The belief that weight training will make you bulk up like a bodybuilder is a myth. The fact is, weight training won’t bulk you up, it will give you a toned physique and you will burn calories even after your workout. Most women are scared of doing weight training due to the misconception that it’s going to bulk up their physique, giving them a big, butch appearance. Women actually have a distinct disadvantage when it comes to increasing muscle size. We don’t have enough testosterone in our bodies to build muscle like men do, even if your workout is just as strenuous as the men’s, lifting the same amount of weight, Remember that to achieve success in any form of training, you need to adjust your eating habits to include good clean foods such as veggies, lean proteins and fruits. Your diet is responsible for 80-90% of your success or failure. You are missing the point if you think you can train hard but eat whatever you feel like. You need to keep your total number of calories under control and eat at least five small meals a day. Giving up on junk food and starting to eat veggies, fruits, and lean meats is a sure fire way to obtain your desired results.

you still won't see the same results with regard to muscle building. Women can, though, build muscles. Instead of big and bulky, they will be the type of long and lean muscles many women desire. Having more muscle helps you burn more calories, even when you're doing nothing but sitting on the couch.

INACTIVE
The illustration above is a good indication of what happens to your muscles when you start weight-assisted
workouts. A very important fact to note is that muscle tissue weighs far more than fatty tissue hence the fact that when you get on the scale after a couple of weight assisted training routines, you might be surprised to find your legs a tad larger and you have added a kilo or two instead of losing some. This is due to muscle growth. Instead of a scale, use a measuring tape to measure your body parts such as your hips, thighs, tummy and chest. Your muscles are going to get fuller because you are training them, but remember that they are still covered with a layer of fat. So if you feel that you are too bulky, then it is important to focus 100% on your diet to get a smaller leaner look. When increasing your workouts, you'll gain more muscle which is denser than fat,

which means a kilogram of muscle takes up much less space than a kilogram of fat. So even though you're losing body fat, the muscle you gain explains why you're heavier when stepping on the scale – but rest assured, you will find it easier to zip up those skinny jeans in a smaller size! Try not to worry too much about what the scale says, since body mass is not always the only accurate way to determine how healthy and fit you are. It's better to keep an eye on how toned you look in the mirror and how you feel when slipping on your clothes.
So what is the conclusion?
Stop focusing on how many calories you burn in the gym and instead focus on how your body expends calories outside the gym. You burn calories throughout the day regardless of what you are doing, but exercise helps increase the rate at which you burn those calories whether you do weight training or cardio. A very important point to focus on is your calorie intake. You can burn as many calories as you like with exercise, but if you “eat” them back, you won't lose weight. In my opinion the best type of training to do is a combination of cardio and weight training such as circuit training. An example of this would be to do 20 lunges and straight after that run stairs for one minute, then do 15 shoulder presses and run stairs for 1 min again, and so forth. This circuit-style strength training is excellent for burning calories and toning your body, because it keeps the heart rate elevated, increases calorie after-burn and builds muscle. Circuit style training is a good way to train as it constantly challenges your body and you can do many variations and combinations to keep it interesting. In conclusion – weight training won’t bulk you, it will give you a toned physique, but you have to fine-tune your diet. Cardio is good to do if you don’t know what to do when it comes to weights and if you want to burn as many calories as possible. So therefore, if you want a toned and healthy physique, you have to combine cardio and weight training and accompany your training with a healthy, balanced diet.

Get Moving! Archery Wiki Defines
Archery is the art, practice, or skill of propelling arrows with the use of a bow, from Latin arcus. Historically, archery has been used for hunting and combat, while in modern times its main use is that of a recreational activity. A person who participates in archery is typically known as an "archer" or "bowman", and one who is fond of or an expert at archery can be referred to as a "toxophilite".

small fee, until they are well experienced. Along with requiring a lot of skill and practice, archery requires patience and focus. However, you can not expect to shoot a bulls-eye at a beginner level. Hours of training and preparation are needed to achieve perfection, it is best if you join a club and take regular classes. There is no upper age limit defined for archery and some people continue with the sport well into their 80s. Although kids of any age can try archery under strict supervision, 10 years old is considered the perfect age to take up the sport. At this age a child is physically strong enough to handle the bow and arrow. There are several health benefits associated with archery, including strengthening of the muscles in the arms, shoulders, fingers and hands; improved hand-eye coordination; and enhanced mental focus. One of its most significant features is that it can be equally enjoyed by able-bodied and disabled people – even the blind can get involved in archery using special tactile equipment.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN types of archery that you can try. Target Archery is carried out in a flat field and requires archers to shoot a specific number of arrows at targets. This is the type you would also have seen in the Olympics where the players try to shoot at a bull's eye. Field Archery involves shooting at different targets of varying distances. This type usually involves the archers following a course that can include hills, bushes, trees, slopes, etc. and the archers are normally allowed to shoot a maximum of three arrows at each target. There are a number of clubs and associations linked with archery that conduct classes and provide assistance for buying proper equipment. It is important to buy a bow that's properly sized and matches your physique. In simple words, choose the one that is easier to pull and requires less effort. The arrows too, should be long enough to pull and set the bow at rest. It is usually recommended that learners use equipment provided by the clubs; for a

The idea of pulling an arrow and hitting your target takes you back to the mythical age and thanks to the famous figures of Robin Hood, Legolas in The Lord of the Rings and Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, archery has become an increasingly popular sport. Suitable for people of any age and ability, archery has several benefits for both physical and mental health. As with any new sport, it can be a little challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it you will never want to let go of your bow.

Research has shown that time and time again we tend to eat more when we sit down to larger portions. Basically, the larger the portion, the more we overeat. Perhaps this trend should be called “portion creep” because it takes only an additional 1 000 kilojoules (240 calories) a day to gain about 10 kg over a year. These 1 000 kilojoules can be found in a 50g chocolate bar, a sparsely buttered bread roll, a quarter of a tramezzini or a small portion of 10 chips. For instance, one cup of pasta provides about 600 kilojoules, and is the recommended starch serving for a meal but some outlets now serve four cups of pasta as a meal, racking up to 4500 kilojoules, with the sauce and trimmings. Many of us want (and need) to lose weight. Considering that a lady wanting to lose weight would need to consume about 5500 kilojoules per day (7500 kJ per day for men), being aware of eating the correct portions becomes paramount. Boardrooms and work place eateries are no different and portion distortion is just as evident. When we consider what we choose to refuel our bodies with and the size of some midday meals, it is no wonder many struggle to sustain their physical and mental energy through the late afternoon.

Nutrition professionals have an excellent track record of demonising healthy foods. Red meat, cheese, coconut oil… to name a few. But the worst example is their decade long debate against eggs, which are among the healthiest and nutritious foods on the planet. By Chef Ronan Boucher
Eggs Ways with
EGGS RAISE THE levels of HDL (good cholesterol) in your body and are particularly rich in the two antioxidants – Lutein and Zeaxanthine – which have been proven to lower your risk of age-related eye disorders. Eggs are loaded with high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, good fats and various trace nutrients and contain all nine essential amino acids. And to top it all off they are cheap to buy!
Here are two egg-ceptional recipes – one for breakfast and one that uses eggs for a sweet treat loaded with fresh, healthy fruit! www.we-care.co.za

Sprinkle the cheese over the cooked ingredients and slide under a hot grill for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. 5. Serve hot with a fresh salad of your choice.
Fresh Fruit Tarts
with Crème Pâtissiére & Summer Fruits
1. Place the milk and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to the boil (scalding). 2. In a bowl, whisk the yolks, sugar and flour together until thick. 3. Pour a little of the hot milk into the egg mix and whisk together. 4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over a medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until thickened. 5. Remove from the heat and cover with cling film while cooling to prevent a skin from forming Cook’s Note: Crème Pâtissiére is also known as confectioners’ custard or pastry cream. This recipe may be made thicker by the addition of extra flour. Corn flour may be substituted for the flour, but only use approximately half the amount.
For the Pâte Sucrée /Sweet Pastry 250 g cake flour 100 g icing sugar 100 g butter, chilled Pinch salt 1 egg
1. Sift the dry ingredients together. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles breadcrumbs and is evenly distributed. 2. Beat the egg and add into the mixture. 3. Work the egg in by hand until a soft, pliable dough is formed. It may be necessary to add a little chilled water if the dough is too dry. 4. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until ready to use. 5. To Use: Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface to about 2mm in thickness. Line a prepared tart ring with the pastry, pressing in gently. Gently dock the base. Trim off the excess and refrigerate before baking. 6. Baking blind (pre-baking): Place a sheet of grease proof paper over the pastry and fill with baking beans. Bake at 180°C until the pastry has set and is lightly browned. Remove the paper and beans and allow the pastry to cool before filling. Once the Crème Pâtissiére is cooled, fill the tartlets and top with an assortment of fresh fruits. Any type of fruit can be added, however small berries are most easily placed on top and make for a better result. 7. Arrange tartlets artfully on a plate and serve with tea or coffee. Cook’s Note: This pastry recipe yields 250 grams.

Marketing jargon and product classifications on food labels can be confusing, leaving you baffled and uncertain about your choices. If you want to know your organic from your genetically modified, read on and become a savvy shopper. By Angela Myers
THE FACT IS THAT we can’t make informed decisions about what we are eating if we simply don’t understand it. In the past, words used to market organic and other wholesome foodstuffs could be based on perception, be purposefully misleading or outright exaggerated but, thankfully, today’s manufacturers are being held ever more accountable for their labelling transparency. d In March this year, new labelling regulations that apply to food manufacturers were implemente claims product nutritional all that mandatory it making Act, Protection that tie in with the Consumer have be supported by nutritional value content labels. Various misleading descriptions and claims crupulous less-than-s of practices been altogether removed too – a victory against the dodgy
manufacturers. According to food scientist Nigel Sunley, who is also the former president of the South ed African Association for Food Science and Technology, any claim that cannot be substantiat ‘fresh’, ‘natural’, as such Words disallowed. by scientifically acceptable evidence has been ‘free ‘traditional’ and ‘quality’ have been deemed marketing hype, and using phrases ‘low-GI’, in’ from’ and ‘no added sugar’ comes with restrictions too. Terms such as ‘high in’ and ‘very high been have with’ ‘packed and of’ ‘full like now have to meet certain serving standards and phrases altogether prohibited, making it easier for the consumer to cut to the facts, he says. So, what terms should we understand when choosing our foodstuffs? The below jargon buster will help you get started demystifying the market.
Whole gra in
Any grains or cereals which naturally contain all the components – namely endosperm, bran, germ and all the macronutrients, micronutrients and trace elements of the original, unprocessed whole kernel.
Organic
Foods that are produced without the use of artificial fertilisers, pesticides, antibiotics, genetically modified ingredients or food additives.
Free from rbST
Dairy products made from cows that are not supplemented with rbST (recombinant bovine somatotropin), which is an engineered hormone that causes cows to increase milk production by 10 to 15%.
Become a concerned consumer
GM
Genetically modified foods are products whose genetic structure is biologically altered to produce plants with desired qualities. Food typically subjected to genetic modification include corn, soybean, rice and canola oil as well as fruits and vegetables that are engineered for faster growth or longer freshness. The effects of GM foods have yet to be tested.
Fa ir trade A strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development whose purpose is to create opportunities for producers and workers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalised by conventional trading systems.
Susta inable Food grown in a way that maintains or enhances soil fertility for the benefit of future generations.
Free-range A method of farming where animals are allowed to roam freely rather than being contained in cages. Be wary of this label however, as standards are blurry and often free range is used to describe less than humane conditions, especially for chickens used to produce eggs.
Lean Lean or trim refers to any indication of a total fat content of less than 10%. Extra lean or extra trim refers to any fats with a fat content of less than 5%. The healthiest option is of course opting for extra trim meats.
Concerned Consumers is a growing community of South Africans who are interested in the origins of the products they buy, and their right to make informed choices about these products. With the new Consumer Protection Act that came into force on the 1st of April 2011, power has been placed in the hands of consumers to lay complaints against misleading labelling, non-transparent advertising, and unacceptable environmental, social and animal practices.
