From motherhood to mountain peaks, join us this Womenโ€™s Day as we honour phenomenal women, like Jess Barrow and Riana van der Merwe, who dominate ultra-trail marathons with unyielding passion and perseverance. Defying the odds and pushing beyond limits, women have consistently secured top spots in these gruelling events, proving their resilience, strength and unparalleled multitasking abilities.

โ€œWomen are machines who can multitask,โ€ Riana notes. โ€œIn ultra trails, a lot can go wrong, but women plan their work and work their plan. We are used to juggling multiple responsibilities and that makes us stronger.โ€

Balancing demanding careers and raising children, Jess and Riana exemplify the art of time management and dedication. Jess rises before dawn for focused training sessions, while Riana, living on a farm, integrates running into her daily life and follows structured training programs from her coach.

โ€œTraining is a juggle, but I make it work,โ€ Jess shares. โ€œMy real endurance training begins when I get home to my four kids after a long run!โ€

As Jess prepares for her fifth Kway Skyrun and Riana looks forward to her 17th, their stories exemplify the spirit of perseverance, adventure, and competitive excellence.

This Womenโ€™s Month, we celebrate Jess Barrow, Riana van der Merwe, and all the incredible women who continue to break barriers and set new standards in ultra-trail marathons. Their stories inspire and empower future generations of female athletes to chase their dreams and conquer new heights.

In a world where fashion often falls short of embracing diverse body shapes, Leviโ€™sยฎ Curvy stands out with its message that womenโ€™s curves deserve to be celebrated. This year, the brand is thrilled to introduce Nomzamo Mbatha as the new ambassador of the Curvy campaign. Alongside her, Lady Du and Buqaqawuli Thamani Nobakada, also known as Ndalo, join in to highlight the jeans that are specially designed to honour every womanโ€™s unique shape.

Like many women, Nomzamo knows how hard it is to find jeans that flatter her curves. โ€œBefore Leviโ€™s Curvy, finding the perfect pair of jeans was a huge struggle,โ€ she says. โ€œI have big thighs, a small waist, and Iโ€™m not very tall. Leviโ€™s Curvy came through for women like me. They sn**ch the waist and hug every curve perfectly without any gaping at the back. Itโ€™s a dream come true for women of all sizes and shapes.โ€
The Levi's Curvy line is crafted to sculpt and celebrate curves, preventing the frustrating gap at the waist and providing a flattering fit. This enhances every curve and empowers women to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. Nomzamo shares, โ€œIn the past, Iโ€™d have to get jeans tailored or wear a beltโ€”and Iโ€™m not a belt kind of woman. So, finding jeans that hug my curves is amazing. And the best part is that women who are bigger or smaller than me can also find something in the Curvy range. Weโ€™re all represented.โ€

Join Leviโ€™sยฎ in celebrating every curve with the perfect pair of jeans designed just for you. Shop the Leviโ€™sยฎ Curvy collection available in Leviโ€™sยฎ sizes 27 โ€“ 34 (South African sizes 30 โ€“ 38) online at Levi.co.za, at your nearest Leviโ€™sยฎ store, at selected Woolworths and Edgars stores, or at Superbalist.com

Breastfeeding can bridge the inequality gap in South Africa. Despite clear benefits, our breastfeeding rates remain low due to a lack of support for mothers.

ADSA spokesperson, Professor Lisanne du Plessis, from Stellenbosch University highlights key messages:

๐Ÿญ. ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐˜๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—”๐—ป๐˜†๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ: Normalise breastfeeding in public. โ€œBarriers are societal,โ€ says Prof du Plessis. โ€œThis includes unsupportive workplaces and public spaces, poor maternity protection policies, ignorance, lack of lactation support, and social perceptions. Mothers need support to nourish their babies, and families and communities should be educated on how to support breastfeeding and the dangers of unnecessary formula use.โ€

Educational material or access to professional breastfeeding consultants can support mothers returning to work.โ€

This results in infant illness and death. Only 35 of 194 countries have comprehensive laws on formula promotion. Despite efforts, countries fall short in protecting parents from misleading information. South Africaโ€™s Regulation 991 aims to curb this, but enforcement is lacking. Increased awareness and resources are needed to protect parents.โ€

Did you know that iron deficiency affects 1-in-2 South African women? But why is iron so essential for women's health?

Women lose iron through monthly menstruation, making them more susceptible to deficiency. This is particularly true for adolescent girls, who need more iron during their growth years.

It's not just menstruation that poses a risk โ€“ pregnant women, vegetarians and female athletes are also vulnerable to iron deficiency.

Boosting iron levels requires a consistent intake of iron-rich foods and supplements for at least three months. That's where Spatone comes in! With up to 40% higher absorption, it's gentle on the stomach and provides 5mg of iron in one daily dose.

05/07/2024

Children begin to develop their sense of self from infancy, heavily influenced by how they perceive their parentsโ€™ reactions to them. Your tone, body language and expressions significantly impact their self-esteem.

Celebrate their achievements, no matter how small, to make them feel proud and encourage independence to boost their confidence. In contrast, belittling or unfavourably comparing them to others can make them feel inadequate.

Refrain from harsh criticisms or using hurtful words. Remarks like "What a stupid thing to do!" can be as damaging as physical harm.

Be mindful and compassionate with your words. Remind your children that everyone makes mistakes and that your love for them remains, even if you are disappointed by their actions.

20/05/2024

Did you know that 1-in-2 South African women suffer from iron deficiency? Iron is vital for women's health, but many factors contribute to this common issue.

Women lose iron during their monthly menstruation, making them particularly susceptible to deficiency. This risk is even higher for adolescent girls, who need extra iron during their growth spurts. Additionally, pregnant women, vegetarians and female athletes, especially long-distance runners, are also prone to iron deficiency.

Addressing low iron levels takes time and commitment. A steady intake of iron-rich foods and supplements for at least three months is necessary to make a difference. That's where Spatone comes in! It offers up to 40% higher absorption, is gentle on the stomach, and provides 5mg of iron in each daily dose.

๐Ÿ“ข Urgent Health Alert: Alarming Rise in Stroke Incidence Worldwide ๐ŸŒ

Ladies, it's time to take charge of our health! A study in The Lancet reveals a surge in stroke cases globally. From 1990 to 2019, incident strokes rose by 70%, stroke deaths by 43%, and disability-adjusted life-years lost by 143%. The global cost exceeds $721 billion annually.

Why the increase?
- Rising non-communicable diseases like hypertension, diabetes and obesity.
- Sedentary lifestyles and poor diets.
- Ageing populations.
- Socioeconomic disparities and limited healthcare access.

But there's hope! By making healthier lifestyle choices, we can significantly reduce our risk of stroke. Here are some expert recommendations from Ryan Snodgrass, Cardiovascular Category Manager for Pharma Dynamics:

1. Monitor blood pressure and cholesterol: Regular check-ups and prescribed medications can prevent complications.

2. Maintain a healthy diet and exercise: Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins and stay active with activities like walking, swimming, or cycling.

3. Quit smoking: This can yield immediate and long-term benefits for your heart.

4. Limit alcohol consumption: Stick to moderationโ€”no more than one drink per day for women.

5. Manage diabetes: Proper management through diet, medication and monitoring is essential.

It's not just about us; societal changes are crucial. Let's raise awareness and implement preventive measures for a healthier future. ๐Ÿ’ชโค๏ธ

Are you wary of using extra virgin olive oil when you sautรฉ? Do you think imported EVOO trumps local varieties? African Gold EVOO debunks myths and reveals the truth about this kitchen staple.

๐Ÿซ’ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ ๐—ก๐—ผ ๐—š๐—ผ

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜: Contrary to popular belief, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) can handle temperatures up to 190ยฐC, making it great for sautรฉing, baking and frying. However, using it for high-heat cooking might diminish its delicate flavours and aromas. Consider using refined oil for such dishes and finish with a drizzle of EVOO for freshness.

๐Ÿซ’ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: ๐—˜๐˜…๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ข๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ข๐—ถ๐—น ๐—š๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—”๐—ด๐—ฒ

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜: Like other cooking oils, EVOO has a limited shelf life. It's best within two years of bottling and once opened, within a few months. It naturally breaks down over time, especially when exposed to light and air. Storing it in a cool, dark place helps preserve its freshness.

๐Ÿซ’ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: ๐—œ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—ข๐—ข ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น

๐—™๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜: While some imported oils can be good, local varieties often boast unmatched freshness and quality. South African olive oil, for instance, shines with its exceptional quality, winning awards globally. Skip the long voyages and storage periods for the freshest, locally sourced EVOO.

Discipline is essential in every household, aiming to guide children towards acceptable behaviours and self-control. Children might challenge the boundaries you set, but these limits are crucial for their development into responsible adults.

Create clear house rules to convey your expectations and help children develop self-control. For instance, no watching TV until homework is completed and prohibit hitting, name-calling or hurtful teasing.

Implement a consistent system for discipline, such as issuing one warning followed by consequences like a time-out or loss of privileges. A common error is inconsistencyโ€”disciplining for talking back one day but overlooking it the next undermines your efforts. Consistency in discipline reinforces your expectations.

A common error is inconsistencyโ€”disciplining for talking back one day but overlooking it the next undermines your efforts. Consistency in discipline reinforces your expectations.

Happy Parenting!

Do you often find yourself criticising your children more than complimenting them? Imagine how you'd feel if your boss only focused on the negative, even with good intentions.

Instead, try to acknowledge when your kids do something right. Say, "Great job making your bed on your own!" or "You were so patient playing with your sister today!" Positive remarks like these are more effective in promoting good behavior than constant reprimands.

Aim to praise your kids every day. Generous displays of affection, such as love, hugs and compliments, can be incredibly motivating. By doing so, you'll likely see an increase in the behaviors you want to encourage.

Happy Parenting!
