Spring Back Into Exercise With These Motivating 10 Tips

Motivating yourself to start exercising again after the winter season can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can regain your fitness momentum. Here are 10 tips to help you get motivated to restart – or start for the first time (It’s never too late!).

It’s natural that we hibernate more in winter – spending time indoors, exercising less. But spring is here! We have earlier sunrises, later sunsets and what just feels like more hours in the day to get more done. And, actually, exercise helps to energise us further.

If you’re looking for tips to get back into your exercise routine or maybe start a new regime or exercising for the first time, read on!

Tips To Get You Motivated:

Set Clear Goals
Define specific, achievable fitness goals. Whether it’s weight loss, muscle gain, increased endurance or improved flexibility, having clear objectives will give you a sense of purpose.
Create a Workout Plan
Develop a structured workout plan that includes a mix of activities you enjoy. Having a plan in place makes it easier to stay consistent. For example, if your goal is weight-loss, then including a mix of cardio and strength training is essential. Plan your week around your activities, making sure to include a rest day.
Start Slowly
Don’t push yourself too hard in the beginning. Begin with shorter, less intense workouts to avoid burnout and reduce the risk of injury. Remember that what you want is to create a sustainable lifestyle with regular exercise.
Find Your Community
Exercising with a friend or family member can make workouts more enjoyable and hold you accountable. You can motivate each other and make it a social activity. Don’t have a person in your circle? Join a running club or sign-up for group classes with a coach who will hit you up on Whatsapp if you don’t pull through.
Reward Yourself
Set up a reward system for achieving milestones in your fitness journey. Rewards can be simple, like treating yourself to new workout gear or an outfit, a pedicure or a blow-dry.
Incorporate Variety
Spice up your routine with a variety of exercises to keep things interesting. Try different classes, outdoor activities or sports to prevent boredom. Cross-training also means that you work different muscles at different times, stimulating different parts of your body and brain.
Track Your Progress
Keep a fitness journal or use a tracking app to record your workouts and monitor your progress. Seeing improvements can be highly motivating. For example, note what your 5km running time is now and measure again in 3 months; how many push-ups you can do now VS in 3 months
Create a Supportive Environment
Make your environment conducive to exercise. Set up a dedicated workout space at home, stock up on healthy snacks and remove any obstacles that may hinder your motivation. For example, always pack out your training gear the night before, so that it’s easy to get up and go in the morning. Tell your colleagues about your new routine so that they can support you and not derail you.
Set a Schedule
Establish a regular workout schedule that fits your lifestyle. Treat your exercise time as non-negotiable. Block it out in your diary if needs be, just like any other appointment.
Stay Mindful
Remind yourself why you want to exercise and how it makes you feel. Practising mindfulness and visualisation can help maintain your motivation in the long run.

Remember that motivation can ebb and flow, so it’s essential to be patient with yourself and stay adaptable. If you ever find your motivation waning, revisit your goals, adjust your workout routine or seek support from friends, family or a fitness community. Ultimately, consistency is key to re-establishing an exercise routine after a period of inactivity.

How often should you really see your dentist and oral hygienist?

Even if you don’t have dentophobia, most people don’t exactly look forward to their dentist check-up and many avoid regular appointments. The problem with that behaviour is that regular check-ups and thorough cleans could prevent serious dental issues. Here’s when you should go – and why.

If you don’t have a history of dental issues and consider yourself one of those lucky humans blessed with a “Colgate Smile”, it’s still important to go for an annual check-up. Ideally, every six months. Think of your dental check-ups and cleans as an essential way to maintain good oral health and prevent diseases.

Some individuals may need more frequent dental visits, especially those who are at a higher risk of dental issues. People with a history of gum disease, cavities or other oral health problems might need to see the dentist every three to four months.

Dental cleanings by an oral hygienist, also known as dental hygienist, are typically done during dental check-ups, but occasionally they need to be booked in as a separate appointment. Oral hygienist cleanings help remove plaque, tartar and stains from your teeth and gums.

Dentists and oral hygienists also provide valuable information on proper oral hygiene techniques, diet recommendations and lifestyle habits that can help you maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Why is it important to visit your dentist regularly?

Prevention
Regular visits allow the dentist to catch potential issues early, such as cavities, gum disease, oral cancer and even problems with your bite or alignment. Early detection can lead to more effective and less invasive treatments.
Professional Cleaning
Even with diligent oral hygiene at home, there are areas that are difficult to clean effectively. Professional cleanings help remove stubborn plaque and tartar build-up that can lead to cavities and gum diseases
Customised Care
Dental care is not one-size-fits-all. Regular visits allow your dental team to develop a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs and risk factors.
Monitoring Oral Health Changes
Regular visits help track changes in your oral health over time. This is especially important for detecting any signs of progression or deterioration in conditions like gum disease or oral cancer.
Maintaining Dental Records
Keeping a consistent record of your oral health history is valuable for both you and your dental care providers. It helps them tailor their care to your needs and track any changes.

Remember that the recommended frequency of dental visits can vary based on individual factors such as age, overall health, oral health history and other risk factors. It’s best to consult your dentist or oral hygienist to determine the optimal schedule for your dental check-ups and cleanings.

5 easy ways to improve your oral hygiene at home

September is National Oral Health Month and we are here to give you some great tips to take better care of your teeth at home.

Improving your oral hygiene at home is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Outside of your regular dental check-ups and oral hygienist cleans, there are a number of ways to maintain excellent oral health at home. Follow these guidelines and don’t hesitate to reach out to your dental team for any questions.

Here are five easy ways to enhance your oral hygiene routine:

Brush Properly and Regularly

Brush your teeth at least twice a day, preferably in the morning and before bed. Use a good-quality toothpaste with fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. Fluoride strengthens teeth and reduces your risk of cavities by approximately 25%. It also remineralises your tooth enamel and could reverse early tooth decay. Brush for at least two minutes each time, using gentle, circular motions. Don’t forget to brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.

2. Floss Daily
Flossing helps remove food particles and plaque from between your teeth and along the gumline. Floss at least once a day using a gentle back-and-forth motion. Be careful not to snap the floss, as this can damage your gums. Water Flossers are becoming more and more easily available for purchasing for at-home use. Ask your local pharmacy for options. (Click here for Waterpik, available at Dis-Chem).

3. Rinse with Mouthwash
Using an antimicrobial or fluoride mouthwash can help kill bacteria, freshen your breath and strengthen teeth. Rinse according to the product instructions. Some mouthwashes are used before brushing, while others are used after. Ask your dentist for the best recommended mouthwash.

4. Limit Sugary Snacks and Beverages
Sugary foods and drinks can contribute to tooth decay. Limit your consumption of sugary snacks, sodas and juices. If you do indulge in sugary treats, try to brush your teeth afterward or at least rinse your mouth with water. This is also a great way to prevent discolouration. After every cup of coffee or tea, make sure to rinse your mouth with water.

5. Stay Hydrated and Choose Water
Drinking water throughout the day helps flush away food particles and bacteria. Water is the best beverage for your oral health, as it doesn’t contain sugars that can lead to cavities.

It’s all down to the right toothbrush!

Choose a toothbrush with soft bristles to avoid damaging your gums and enamel.
Replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head every three to four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
Consider using an electric toothbrush, which can be more effective at removing plaque.

Remember that consistency is key when it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene. Establishing a daily routine that includes these practices will help keep your teeth and gums healthy between dental visits.

If you have specific dental concerns or conditions, such as braces, dental work or gum disease, consult your dentist for tailor-made recommendations on how to adapt your oral hygiene routine accordingly.

Time For An Eye Test?

Headaches? Difficulty concentrating? These could be signs that you need to go for an eye test.
Or perhaps you suspect a loved one may need to get their eyes tested. Here’s how to know when it’s time to make the call and a list of signs and symptoms to look out for.

From mid-September until mid-October, the South African government has declared this period: Eye Care Awareness Month. This year’s event kicks off on 21 September to raise awareness about the importance of eye health, specifically around prevention and treatment of avoidable blindness. According to the SA government, 75% of all cases of blindness are avoidable, which is why they recommend getting your eyes tested once a year.

If you don’t test regularly and you’re not sure what to look out for in terms of signs or symptoms, we have created a handy checklist for you below. If an elderly person in your family or a child may be experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to contact your medical doctor. Impaired vision could also be a sign of another underlying health issue or condition, so keep an eye on the below checklist:

10 Signs That You Need An Eye test

Blurry Vision
If you start experiencing sudden or gradual blurry vision, to the point that it interferes with daily activities such as reading, driving or watching television.

Difficulty Focusing
If you find it hard to focus on objects up close or far away.
Eye Strain
If your eyes often feel tired, achy or strained, particularly after reading, using digital devices, or doing close work.

Headaches
Frequent headaches, especially after reading or working on a computer.

Squinting
If you frequently find yourself squinting to see clearly.

Light Sensitivity
Seeing halos around lights, experiencing glare from oncoming headlights while driving at night, or having increased sensitivity to light.

Double Vision
Seeing double images even when looking at a single object.

Changes in Colour Perception
If you notice changes in how you perceive colours or have difficulty distinguishing between certain colours

Floaters and Flashes
Sudden appearance of floaters – small spots or cobweb-like shapes – or flashes of light in your vision.

Loss of Peripheral Vision
If you notice a gradual loss of your side vision.

If your family has a history of eye conditions, it’s important to get tested regularly and to alert your doctor immediately if you experience any of the above symptoms. People with diabetes or hypertension are also at a higher risk of getting certain eye conditions. Regular eye exams are crucial to monitor for any signs of diabetic retinopathy or hypertensive retinopathy.

Gratitude Practice: Nurturing Wellness Through Thankfulness

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget the many blessings, big or small, that grace our lives. This is where the practice of gratitude comes in, offering a simple yet profound way to increase our well-being and satisfaction.

What is Gratitude Practice?

At its core, gratitude practice is the conscious recognition and appreciation of the positive aspects of life. It isn’t just about being thankful when good things happen, but about cultivating a consistent attitude of thankfulness regardless of life’s circumstances. This deliberate acknowledgement can be for tangible things, like a gift from a friend, or intangible elements, such was watching the sunrise with a coffee in hand.

Methods of Gratitude Practice

There are numerous ways to integrate gratitude into daily life:

Gratitude Journal: Every day, jot down three things you’re grateful for. This helps in shifting focus from what might be lacking or negative, to what is abundant in life.
Mindful Meditations: Spend a few minutes each day meditating on the things you’re grateful for. Visualise them and feel the emotions they might bring.
Gratitude Reminders: Set daily reminders on your phone or computer to pause and think of something you appreciate.
Gratitude Walks: Go for a walk and purposefully observe the things around you for which you can be thankful. The trees, the birds chirping or the sound of kids playing in a park nearby.
Thank-you Notes: Regularly write and send notes to people who have impacted your life in positive ways. This will encourage them to be grateful too.
Gratitude Jar: Place a jar in a common area and drop notes of things you’re thankful for. Periodically, read them to remind yourself of the blessings.

Incorporating Gratitude Into Daily Routines

Morning Rituals: Before reaching for the phone or diving into the day, spend the first few minutes after waking up to reflect upon something you’re grateful for.

Mealtime Thanks: Before meals, take a moment to appreciate the food and everything that contributed to bringing it to your table.

Night Reflections: Before sleeping, recall three positive things that happened during the day.

Conversations: Make it a habit to share something you’re grateful for in daily conversations with friends or family. People will begin to associate you with the positive outlook you have on life.

Benefits of Gratitude Practice

Enhanced Well-being: Regularly practising gratitude has been linked to higher levels of well-being and happiness. Recognising life’s positives can buffer stress and foster resilience.
Improved Relationships: Expressing gratitude can make us more likeable, fostering deeper connections and strengthening social ties.
Better Physical Health: Studies have shown that gratitude can have a range of health benefits, from improved sleep to reduced symptoms of illness.
Mental Strength: In the face of adversity, gratitude can act as an anchor, reminding us of our strengths and the support we have, making it easier to cope with challenges.
Enhanced Empathy: Regular gratitude practice can reduce aggressive tendencies and increase empathy towards others, promoting a more harmonious environment.
Boosted Self-esteem: Recognising and appreciating the positive in life can lead to a more optimistic outlook, which in turn enhances self-worth and confidence.

In conclusion, gratitude is more than just saying “thank you.” It’s a holistic approach to life, emphasising the positive and cultivating joy, even in the face of adversity. By weaving gratitude into daily routines, we not only enhance our well-being but radiate positivity to those around us, fostering a world where thankfulness and contentment reign supreme. So, the next time you find yourself lost in life’s busyness, pause and find a moment of gratitude. The benefits are truly transformative.

Signs and Symptoms of Malaria

The 20th of August is World Mosquito Day and even though there have been numerous advancements in the medical space concerning malaria, there is still a need to create awareness around the world’s deadliest insect.

World Mosquito Day marks the anniversary of the discovery that mosquitoes transmit the parasite that causes malaria. 126 years later, mosquito-borne diseases are still both widespread and difficult to treat. Even with global efforts to curb the impact of the disease on vulnerable populations, malaria continues to cause the death of many humans.

Studies from UNICEF claim that nearly every minute, a child under five dies of malaria. And many of these deaths are preventable and treatable. In 2021, 247-million malaria cases were opened, which led to 619 000 deaths. Because of this, it’s important to continue to create awareness about malaria so that these deaths can be prevented.

Areas of South Africa near borders such as Zimbabwe, Mozambique continue to be areas where malaria may occur, including some areas of the Kruger National Park. Here are the signs and symptoms to look out for if you’ve recently travelled to malaria-risk areas:

Signs and Symptoms of Malaria

Symptoms include:

flu-like symptoms
Chills
Headache
Muscle ache
Fatigue
Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea may also occur
Potential yellowing of the skin

Signs include:

If you start to experience any of the above symptoms about 10 days after being in a malaria-risk area, contact your doctor immediately. It’s possible to experience symptoms as early as seven days, but typically they arise 10 to 14 days after infection.
The above symptoms then rapidly escalate and can become a severe life-threatening disease. Your doctor will be able to confirm that it is malaria after a blood test. The appropriate medication will then be prescribed. Hospitalisation may be necessary.
Some types of malaria stay in your system for years and may cause a “relapse”. Your doctor will be able to tell you if you have this type.

If you have any concerns about contracting malaria on your travels, consult with your medical doctor for the best way to manage the risk.

5 Things You Might Not Know About Your Menstrual Cycle

To celebrate National Women’s Month this August, it is crucial to honour and empower women by delving into the lesser-known aspects of their lives. One such aspect is the menstrual cycle – an extraordinary phenomenon that shapes the female experience. While we may be familiar with the basics, there are lesser-known facts about the menstrual cycle that can provide remarkable insights into our bodies and overall well-being.

Menstrual Blood Is Not Just Blood:

Contrary to popular belief, menstrual blood is not solely composed of blood. It consists of a blend of endometrial tissue, mucus, and blood, all of which are shed from the uterus. This remarkable mixture forms a complex cocktail that plays a vital role in preparing the womb for potential pregnancy. By understanding the multifaceted nature of menstrual blood, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate processes that occur within our bodies.

The Menstrual Cycle Influences Your Sense of Smell:

During certain phases of your menstrual cycle, your sense of smell can become heightened. Research suggests that as oestrogen levels rise, so does your ability to detect scents more intensely. This evolutionary adaptation may have helped our ancestors identify ripe fruits and potential mates. So, the next time you find yourself more attuned to the fragrances around you, remember that it’s your menstrual cycle at work, giving you a temporary superpower.

Menstruation Affects Your Sleep Patterns:

You may not be aware that your menstrual cycle can impact your sleep quality. Fluctuations in hormone levels throughout the cycle can cause disruptions, leading to difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep. In the premenstrual phase, progesterone levels rise, which can contribute to feelings of fatigue and sleepiness. By understanding these patterns, you can adapt your sleep routine during different phases of your cycle to optimise restful nights and wake up feeling refreshed.

Your Menstrual Cycle Can Enhance Creativity:

The hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle can have surprising effects on your creative abilities. Some women find that they experience heightened creativity and increased inspiration during certain phases of their cycle. This may be attributed to the surge of oestrogen, which can boost cognitive function and encourage new perspectives. Embracing and harnessing these creative energies can provide a unique opportunity for self-expression and personal growth.

Menstrual Synchrony: Fact or Fiction?

Have you ever noticed that when women spend significant time together, their menstrual cycles seem to align? This phenomenon, known as menstrual synchrony or the “McClintock effect,” has been the subject of much curiosity. While research is inconclusive, some studies suggest that pheromones—chemical signals released by individuals—may play a role in synchronising menstrual cycles. Although the exact mechanism remains elusive, the concept of menstrual synchrony adds an element of intrigue to the collective experiences of women.

From the complex composition of menstrual blood to the influence on our senses, sleep patterns, and creativity, the menstrual cycle holds numerous captivating aspects that deserve recognition. By exploring these lesser-known facts, we empower women to embrace their cycles as a source of strength and self-discovery. Let us continue to support and uplift women during this celebratory month and beyond, appreciating the beauty of their menstrual journeys. Happy Women’s Month!

Could I have Endometriosis? Here’s what to look out for.

It’s Women’s Months and we’re creating awareness around women’s health as well as sharing valuable information and insight around multiple topics, including endometriosis.

About 10% of all women have or are affected by endometriosis. But what is it exactly? And what are the signs and symptoms to look out for?

What is endometriosis? According to the World Health Organisation, it is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and / or urination, chronic pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea and fatigue. These vary from person to person.

It occurs when the tissue that is similar to the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, grows outside of the uterus.

There is currently no known cure, but treatment is aimed at controlling and alleviating systems.

If you’re experiencing any of the below symptoms, consult with your medical doctor to find out more.

Pelvic Pain
This ranges from mild to severe and can feel like: cramping, stabbing or aching pain in the lower abdomen, back and pelvic region.
Dysmenorrhoea
This is painful menstruation in the form of intense cramps which may worsen over time. The pain is debilitating and may interfere with daily activities.
Dyspareunia
This refers to genital pain during or after intercourse. It can be felt in the vulva, vagina, uterus or pelvis.
Chronic Pelvic Pain
This pain may occur at any time during the cycle and can be continuous or intermittent.
Painful Bowel Movements or Urination
Endometriosis can affect the bowels or bladder and can cause pain during bowel movements, which worsens during menstruation.
Menorrhagia
This means heavy bleeding during your period. How to tell what’s abnormal? Look out for: if you soak through a pad or tampon in an hour; if you need to use a tampon and a pad; if you bleed for longer than a week; or if you need to change your tampon at night.
Difficulty Getting Pregnant

Because women experience a variety of these symptoms, ranging from mild to severe pain, it’s challenging to accurately diagnose endometriosis. However, diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly improve quality of life and preserve fertility.
