DON’T WEAR A MOUSTACHE

THEN PUT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND
By now you might have of heard of Movember. The month of November where men grow a moustache for
the entire month to support and raise awareness of men’s wellbeing.
 

We may ALL be guilty of perpetuating this misconception about men through our cultural beliefs and habituated ways of treating men.
In this Movember month we are challenged to self-reflect and change our ways to support all men, especially those we love.

To understand the importance and power of Movember CLICK HERE to watch a number of videos. This really is important, so why don’t you get a cup of coffee and sit down to watch what will leave you feeling enlivened, inspired, relieved, saddened, encouraged, self-compassionate, enabled, grateful and and and …
YOUR ACTION COULD SAVE A LIFE. YOUR CARE COULD ENRICH THE LIVES OF ALL THE MEN AROUND YOU.

Baffled about boosters?

Baffled about boosters?

Feb 27, 2022

A common argument against COVID-19 vaccination is “Surely the vaccines can’t be effective if I require a booster?”
All vaccines work to train the immune system to recognise foreign invaders and produce antibodies that will attack them. But the strength of the initial immune response, and the amount of time the antibodies will last, varies depending on both the pathogen the vaccine is fighting, and the vaccine itself.

We all know the experience when, at the crucial moment, the rolling blackout hits and bam, you are no longer in that meeting, or the piece of equipment you’re using cuts out mid-job.

It’s been a rough two years – physically, emotionally and financially. Even those who are usually the most committed to their new year’s goals have had to re-assess as COVID-19 numbers swirled, petrol prices sky-rocketed, and load-shedding made an unwelcome return.
January is a ‘fresh’ time of year – a bit like it feels outdoors after a good shower of rain. You’re feeling refreshed and full of hope that maybe, just maybe, 2022 is going to be better than last year. It’s time to imagine how fit, how healthy, how light your 2022 self will be.

Water. Be aware, too little or too much is a dangerous thing

Jan 27, 2022

Some parts of the country are experiencing really hot weather. If you are drinking too little water, you could be at the risk of dehydrating. Our bodies are designed to work at an ideal temperature. When our environment is hot, in an attempt to keep our temperature stable, we perspire. As the moisture evaporates it cools our skin which, in turn, cools the blood vessels and hence our whole body.

Here in South Africa, there seems to be two active responses on social media to the shock of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One is a sense of outrage and sadness at the disruption and tragic loss of life. The other seems to be an almost flippant expression of gratitude for being far away ‘down south’ from the conflict zone.

What can those two illustrious South Africans, the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu and ex-President Nelson Mandela teach us about living with cancer?
In 1997 a concerned world heard that the man fondly known as ‘the Arch’, aged 65, had surgery for prostate cancer. A few years later in 2001, we were again shocked to hear that Madiba, aged 83, had also been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

What COVID-19 has taught us about human connection

Feb 27, 2022 | , , ,

One thing we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic experience is that we are not happy when we are separated from others – loved ones, colleagues and even people we do not know. We like to go to restaurants, coffee shops and just hang around people. Not only do we like it, but the pandemic has also highlighted how we need connection for our mental and emotional wellbeing. Sometimes it seems that it is only when things are taken away, that we learn to appreciate their value and importance.
