Hi all!
If you feel like you are constantly forgetting where you left your keys, or forever finding your colleagues' names are at the tip of your tongue but not quite close enough, perhaps you could do with eating the right foods to boost your memory. Click here to see the Destiny Man article about memory-enhancing foods that I was quoted in For those vegetarians among you, who are pregnant, or planning for a family, see this Beeld article that I was quoted in And lastly, here is some info on the immune-boosting properties of mushrooms from a Sunday World article I was quoted in

Check out my photospread in the June 2011 issue of Oprah magazine (pg 73)! I did a fridge makeover for Glorious Sefako to get her on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

If you are struggling to lose weight or simply want to eat a bit healthier, there is nothing more effective than a food diary.
A food diary is a record of what you eat and at what times you eat. By keeping this record, it makes it easier to pick up anywhere you are going wrong with your eating and thus allows you to change these behaviours. For example, you may find that you overeat when you get home from work before dinner. Therefore, by perhaps introducing a mid-afternoon snack this will help to curb the post-work nibbling. Similarly, a food diary is also useful if you find that you are an emotional eater. By including in your food journal any emotions you experienced at the time of eating, you can then identify what emotions cause you to eat. For example, you may find you eat out of boredom, therefore by distracting yourdelf with another activity instead of eating, this will help to prevent you from eating out of boredom. Another advantage of a food diary, is that by knowing you have to write down your food, it will make you think twice before eating something simply because it's there or if you're not really hungry. So, if you want to conquer your bad eating habits, just be sure to get it in writing! Do your New Year's resolutions already seem like a distant memory? You can rekindle your motivation by setting yourself small, manageable goals. For example, losing 10kg in 1 month is unrealistic but losing 2kg in 1 month is.
Rather set a goal that is achievable and gives you sense of accomplishment when you reach it, than set a goal that is out of your reach and only makes you feel disappointed when you don't get there! Good luck everyone! Check out the articles I've written/ been quoted in this month in:

I'm on 3 Talk with Noeleen today at 15:45 on SABC3. Hope you can watch! Happy Spring everyone!
I hope that with the new season comes new healthy habits and a bright new outlook! I am in a new TV show on SABC 3 called "Meet Joe Food" (in some TV Guides it is still being called by its old name "Food Inc"). It's a youth programme, which aims at educating teens and pre-teens on various health- and nutrition-related topics (e.g. weight loss, food allergies and snacking). Catch it at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon and repeated at 6am on a Saturday morning. See here for the SABC 3 Schedule. Let me know what you think! |
