How to Choose a Skin<br />
Care Line?<br />
No matter<br />
what<br />
kind of<br />
skin you<br />
have,<br />
make sure to select the<br />
right skin care line for<br />
your skin. Regular skin<br />
care will help to achieve<br />
a healthy looking skin.<br />
When it comes to<br />
selecting a perfect skin<br />
line, it is very essential<br />
to first know your particular<br />
skin type. Most<br />
dermatologists separate<br />
skin into three main<br />
categories oily, dry, and<br />
combination skin. Since<br />
different skin types<br />
require different product<br />
formula<br />
tions to meet their<br />
unique needs. You<br />
must recognize a<br />
product line that<br />
suits your needs<br />
as per your skin type.<br />
From external factors<br />
(sun, pollution) to<br />
internal factors (stress,<br />
indigestion) anything<br />
can impact the way your<br />
skin looks. So it is very<br />
essential to first evaluate<br />
your skin type. Here<br />
are some essential<br />
factors that need to be<br />
controlled to maintain a<br />
healthy skin.<br />
STRESS<br />
SMOKING<br />
MEDICATIONS<br />
PROLONGED SUN<br />
EXPOSURE<br />
POLLUTION<br />
DIET<br />
IMPROPER<br />
SKIN-CARE<br />
ROUTINE<br />
HORMONES<br />
SKIN DISOR-<br />
DERS<br />
CLIMATE<br />
By following a particular<br />
health regime,<br />
you can work<br />
positively<br />
towards<br />
maintaining<br />
perfect<br />
looking<br />
skin. Its not just<br />
solve skin troubles such<br />
as pimples and blemishes,<br />
but also help in<br />
providing a problem<br />
free skin. Therefore,<br />
choosing a skin care<br />
line that suits your skin<br />
is very essential. Steps<br />
to select a particular<br />
skin type:<br />
Analyze Your Skin:<br />
Every skin type has<br />
different requirements.<br />
Determine your skin<br />
whether it oily, dry or<br />
combination. This is<br />
important because<br />
each type varies with<br />
different nourishment<br />
requirements.<br />
One stop solution to all<br />
skin troubles: Many skin<br />
care lines focus on single<br />
concerns, but, most<br />
people face a number<br />
of skin issues like acne,<br />
spots or wrinkles. This<br />
can be baffling because<br />
you cannot use multiple<br />
products on your skin.<br />
Thus, choose a reputed<br />
Rhonda Allison product<br />
skin care line that works<br />
three dimensionally<br />
over your skin. Your<br />
skin care line should<br />
provide one stop solution<br />
to all skin troubles.<br />
For instance, your skin<br />
may be dry, so you<br />
need products that fulfill<br />
your skin requirements.<br />
Perhaps, if your skin is<br />
dark and combination,<br />
You may want a product<br />
that balance the skin›s<br />
moisture and tone.<br />
Consult your dermatologist:<br />
If you’re<br />
unsure, consulting a<br />
dermatologist is the<br />
best solution. They can<br />
help you determine<br />
your skin type and skin<br />
care needs. Some well<br />
respected skin care<br />
treatment centers also<br />
offer free consultation,<br />
so check around.<br />
Bottom line:<br />
Everyone wants a clean<br />
and glowing skin that<br />
magnifies your beauty.<br />
A radiant and glowing<br />
skin also an indicator of<br />
the healthy body state.<br />
Your skin, not just acts<br />
as a natural defense<br />
barrier, but also enhance<br />
your overall<br />
appearance. Just as<br />
you take care of your<br />
body from the inside<br />
out by eating healthy,<br />
you need to take care of<br />
your body from the outside,<br />
by protecting your<br />
skin. You must know<br />
about good quality<br />

5 Important Tips<br />
For Selecting<br />
Hiking Boots for<br />
Men<br />
For any<br />
person,<br />
footwear<br />
is a most<br />
important<br />
part of their daily<br />
wear. However, various<br />
specialists have to wear<br />
certain kinds of specific<br />
footwear like protective<br />
industrial boots for factory<br />
workers, and hiking<br />
boots for trekkers and<br />
outdoorsmen.<br />
While finding the right<br />
kind of penny loafer or<br />
sneaker is easy; finding<br />
the right kind of footwear<br />
for the outdoors<br />
depends on a number<br />
of factors specific to the<br />
cause.<br />
Here are 5 important<br />
tips for selecting the<br />
right hiking boots<br />
#1 - Materials<br />
Boots made for the outdoor<br />
may be made of<br />
swede, leather, or canvas<br />
materials; and the<br />
choice depends on the<br />
wearer. While swede<br />
leather is tougher, they<br />
are heavier than canvas<br />
hiking boots. That is<br />
why it is important to<br />
choose the right materials<br />
when buying boots<br />
for hiking or trekking -<br />
since you want it to be<br />
comfortable, and not a<br />
burden during your trek!<br />
#2 - Terrain and Weather<br />
Depending on the terrain<br />
and weather you’ll<br />
be facing, you would<br />
want to select different<br />
materials for your hiking<br />
boots. In rainy weather,<br />
canvas footwear is<br />
more comfortable; while<br />
heavy leather is more<br />
comfortable for walking<br />
in the snow. Heavy duty<br />
leather needs to be both<br />
waterproof and padded<br />
on the inside, while light<br />
canvas boots are meant<br />
to ensure more ventilation<br />
during long hours of<br />
walking.<br />
#3 - Buying Online<br />
While finding the right<br />
kind of hiking boots or<br />
other kind of outdoor<br />
gear online is easy nowadays;<br />
be sure you buy<br />
from a reputed brand.<br />
The LAST THING you<br />
would want to ruin yur<br />
trek is a broken shoe<br />
sole or torn boots!<br />
Since people generally<br />
don’t carry spare boots<br />
along for a trek, it is<br />
wise to select the right<br />
product from a reputed<br />
brand.<br />
#4 - Sole Type and<br />
Sizes<br />
Choosing the right kind<br />
of sole on your hiking<br />
boots depends on<br />
whether you want to<br />
walk on slippery rocks<br />
like on a beach / in wet<br />
weather; or dry gravel<br />
and sand! Remember,<br />
desert trekking is VERY<br />
different from a hike up<br />
a hillside. The “Tread”<br />
or cut on the underside<br />
of the sole is also extremely<br />
important. Deep<br />
treads and hard rubber<br />
soles are better for hiking<br />
boots meant to last<br />
dry and rough terrain;<br />
while smaller treads<br />
and soft rubber soles<br />
grip wet, smooth rocks<br />
and boulders better.<br />
#5 - Guarantees<br />
Most brands selling hiking<br />
boots provide guarantee<br />
on their footwear<br />
between 3 to 5 years.<br />
However, such a “guarantee”<br />
will be practically<br />
useless if you have a<br />
torn boot on your trek!<br />
It’s not practical to carry<br />
back a damaged boot<br />
from your trek for a replacement<br />
either; so the<br />
smart choice is to buy<br />
a pair that you can depend<br />
upon to be hardy -<br />
regardless of guarantee<br />
papers or replacement<br />
assurances.<br />

Better Guts, Better Life - Acute<br />
Diverticulitis<br />
Acute Diverticulitis<br />
is one of<br />
the most<br />
common<br />
digestive condition<br />
that affects individuals<br />
who are into their 60s.<br />
The condition can be<br />
resolve through proper<br />
treatment and lifestyle<br />
modification, but<br />
recurrent attacks would<br />
require more medical<br />
intervention. Protecting<br />
our health should be our<br />
topmost prerogative.<br />
However, as we age,<br />
our bodies no longer<br />
function the way they<br />
use to be and many<br />
diseases and complications<br />
arises. One of<br />
the common digestive<br />
problem that affects<br />
the western country is<br />
acute diverticulitis.<br />
What is Diverticulitis<br />
Diverticulitis happens<br />
when the lining of the<br />
large intestine develops<br />
pouches or sacs and<br />
becomes inflamed or infected.<br />
The exact cause<br />
of the appearance of<br />
the pouches is undetermined,<br />
but speculations<br />
shows that stress and<br />
bowel movement complications<br />
results to the<br />
development of these<br />
pouches.<br />
Although the pouches<br />
are not a cause of<br />
worry and in fact, some<br />
patients do not experience<br />
any symptoms,<br />
inflammation or infection<br />
should be treated<br />
seriously. Uncomplicated<br />
inflammation would<br />
require home treatment<br />
and some medication<br />
however; serious or<br />
complicated ones would<br />
lead to the possibility of<br />
surgery.<br />
Acute Diverticulitis<br />
Treatment<br />
Symptoms of acute<br />
diverticulitis includes<br />
feeling of tenderness,<br />
pain in the lower left<br />
abdomen, fever and<br />
abdominal distention.<br />
Some patients may also<br />
experience constipation<br />
or diarrhea and nausea.<br />
In treating the condition,<br />
patients would be subjected<br />
to a Computer<br />
tomography or imaging<br />
test to determine the<br />
extent of the problem. In<br />
some cases, Colonoscopy<br />
or Laparoscopic<br />
surgery is recommended<br />
if the attacks are<br />
frequent and there are<br />
complications arising<br />
from the infection.<br />
94% of patients are<br />
often treated as outpatients<br />
however hospitalization<br />
may be recommended<br />
depending on<br />
the tolerance of the<br />
patient.<br />
For patients with mild<br />
conditions, health providers<br />
may provide antibiotics<br />
though taking<br />
no medication is also<br />
an option. For those<br />
with mild but recurring<br />
attacks, antibiotics<br />
are provided such as<br />
Ciprofloxacin or Trimethoprim.<br />
A change in diet is also<br />
recommended where<br />
patients are placed into<br />
a clear liquid diet. The<br />
diet includes consuming<br />
clear liquid such as<br />
broth or soup for a few<br />
days. Once the bowel<br />
starts to heal, solid<br />
food may gradually be<br />
added to the diet. It<br />
is important to follow<br />
the doctor’s order as<br />
although the treatment<br />
is successful almost<br />
70 to 100% for people<br />
with acute diverticulitis,<br />
some have developed<br />
complications requiring<br />
surgery.<br />
To prevent diverticulitis,<br />
it is important to add<br />
fiber and drink plenty<br />
of fluid. Fiber works<br />
in softening the stool<br />
reducing the pressure in<br />
the digestive tract and<br />
water helps the fiber<br />
soften and bulk up the<br />
waste material. Exercising<br />
can also promote<br />
normal bowel function<br />
and help reduces the<br />
pressure in the colon.<br />

Furthermore, the tech<br />
world has gone into a<br />
huge excitement. Apple<br />
will announce, one of<br />
the biggest smartphone<br />
launch of the year 2016.<br />
Apple is facilitating the<br />
event at the Bill Graham<br />
Civic Auditorium in San<br />
Francisco, launching<br />
the new iPhone 7 and<br />
iPhone 7 Plus. The new<br />
form of the Apple Watch<br />
is likewise expected,<br />
New MacBooks, particularly<br />
the MacBook Air<br />
lineup is expected for<br />
an upgrade, and however<br />
so far it doesn’t<br />
look like Apple will be<br />
showcasing these at<br />
the event.<br />
Following are the highlights<br />
expected at the<br />
event:<br />
Display- The size of the<br />
display is 4.7 inches<br />
(~65.6% screen-to-body<br />
ratio) featuring LEDbacklit<br />
IPS LCD, capacitive<br />
touch screen and<br />
16M colors with resolution<br />
of 750 x 1334 pixels<br />
(~326 ppi pixel density).<br />
The screen is protected<br />
with Iong-strengthened<br />
glass and oleophobic<br />
coating.<br />
Camera - There have<br />
not been excessive<br />
complaints about the<br />
iPhone 6 camera. Yet,<br />
things may show better<br />
improvement with the<br />
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7<br />
Plus. Both cameras will<br />
have 12-megapixel sensors.<br />
Primary camera<br />
highlights 12 MP while<br />
the front camera 5 MP<br />
with phase detection<br />
autofocus and dual-LED<br />
flash.<br />

external card slot in<br />
IPhone 7.<br />
Chip - Preliminary<br />

that iPhone 7 will be<br />
powered by Apple’s<br />
new A10 chip offering<br />

Price & Cost - The<br />
cost has not been<br />
uncovered yet. In<br />
any case, in India it<br />
might cost you upto Rs.<br />
70,000.<br />
Platform - The platform<br />
which is used in iPhone<br />
7 and Plus is iOS 10<br />
with chipset of Apple<br />
A10.<br />
Launching in India -<br />
Honestly, there’s no<br />
chance of confirming<br />
this, at least not yet.<br />
Apple is required to<br />
present this in India<br />
immediately, due to the<br />
growing demand of the<br />
market and India has<br />
never been in the main<br />
bunch of nations where<br />
the iPhone 7 launches.<br />
There are chances<br />

Advantages of<br />
Installing Solar Panels<br />
in your Home or Office<br />
Electrical<br />
efficiency<br />
is important<br />
now<br />
more than<br />
ever. With the installations<br />
of solor panels<br />
becoming more mainstream<br />
than ever, you<br />
can now obtain renewable<br />
energy as easily<br />
as shopping for a new<br />
refrigerator. Speaking<br />
with licenced Electricians<br />
Austin TX will<br />
speed up the process.<br />
Nonrenewable energy<br />
or fossil fuels such as<br />
coal and natural gas<br />
must make way for renewable<br />
energy like solar<br />
power, hydropower,<br />
wind and wave power.<br />
There are experimentations<br />
happening now<br />
to explore the potential<br />
of geothermal energy.<br />
Solar power is the most<br />
reliable renewable energy.<br />
It is also the most<br />
powerful. It is the need<br />
of the hour to seriously<br />
consider solar panels<br />
and both homeowners<br />
as well as commercial<br />
property owners must<br />
contemplate the advantages.<br />
Investing in solar<br />
panels now will offer<br />
you a huge return over<br />
time. Here are some<br />
advantages why you<br />
should at least consult<br />
solar panel installation<br />
with your electrician.<br />
The first reason and<br />
also the most noteworthy<br />
advantage is protecting<br />
our environment.<br />
Compared to fossil fuels<br />
like coal and natural<br />
gas, solar power has a<br />
negligible impact on the<br />
environment. There is<br />
some carbon footprint<br />
in generating or harnessing<br />
solar power,<br />
distributing it and the<br />
supporting infrastructure<br />
but the energy itself<br />
is clean. Coal or natural<br />
gas and even nuclear<br />
energy have a substantial<br />
impact on the<br />
environment. Coal with<br />
its thermal generation<br />
processes is a major<br />
contributor to global<br />
warming. For a better<br />
and greener tomorrow,<br />
switch to solar power.<br />
The sun is the biggest<br />
power plant in our solar<br />
system. It has the ability<br />
to generate enough<br />
electricity to meet the<br />
entire world’s energy<br />
requirements. If we can<br />
truly harness solar energy<br />
to the extent possible<br />
then we can light<br />
up more than just our<br />
planet. Also, the sun is<br />
unlikely to vanish tomorrow<br />
or a millennium<br />
from now. We can rely<br />
on the power source.<br />
Our planet is also close<br />
enough but far enough<br />
from the sun to have<br />
the ideal exposure to its<br />
light and heat which if<br />
harnessed can change<br />
the world we live in.<br />
Solar power is economic.<br />
It is true that setting<br />
up solar panels or procuring<br />
them and getting<br />
the infrastructure in<br />
place would have a substantial<br />
cost but the energy<br />
source is free. Sun<br />
doesn’t charge anything<br />
for its heat or light. One<br />
doesn’t have to mine or<br />
explore anything. Once<br />
the infrastructure is set<br />
up and there are government<br />
rebates available<br />
to reduce the initial<br />
investment, the cost of<br />
per unit of electricity<br />
would be much less.<br />
You can also make<br />
money with solar power.<br />
If your home, commercial<br />
property or even<br />
your office generates<br />
more solar power than<br />
needed at the site for<br />
all its energy requisites,<br />
the surplus power<br />
can be sold to energy<br />
providers and can be<br />
fed into the grid! If you<br />
go with a solar panel<br />
installation today, then<br />
over your lifetime you<br />
would be saving thousands<br />
and possibly<br />
tens of thousands of<br />
dollars depending on<br />
the amount of energy<br />
you consume. Doing a<br />
search for a qualified<br />
licensed electrician<br />
is easy. A good key<br />
phrase like Electricians<br />

areaFeature Articles,<br />

25 Things We<br />
Need To Stop<br />
Apologizing For<br />
There are few<br />
words more<br />
powerful to<br />
hear when<br />
you have been<br />
wronged, or to express<br />
when you yourself have<br />
done something regrettable.<br />
But have you done<br />
something wrong? Are you<br />
sorry? If you stop to think<br />
about it, a lot of time<br />
the answer is “no.”<br />
Women in particular<br />
tend to<br />
over-apologize,<br />
whether in an effort<br />
to be nice or<br />
in order to be liked,<br />
or even worse, to<br />
make amends for<br />
a mistake that’s<br />
only perceived.<br />
Women apologize<br />
a lot. We<br />
give off this<br />
guilty vibe,<br />
like, “I’m sorry for taking up<br />
space in the world,” or “I’m<br />
sorry for having a vagina,”<br />
or more accurately, “I’m<br />
sorry for being me.”<br />
Well, screw that.<br />
Here are a few things we<br />
need to stop apologizing<br />
for. Immediately.<br />
1. BEING A BITCH<br />
This is not the same as<br />
being an asshole.<br />
An asshole<br />
operates solely<br />
from ego,<br />
uses others,<br />
and often<br />
feels threatened<br />
by anyone with confidence.<br />
Being a bitch is all about<br />
confidence and power. Surrounding<br />
yourself with other<br />
confident bitches is exactly<br />
how bitches get stuff done.<br />
Being direct and commanding<br />
respect from everyone<br />
you encounter is the boss<br />
bitch way. You’re no doormat.<br />
If someone calls you<br />
a bitch, don’t apologize—<br />
thank them.<br />
2. TAKING CARE OF<br />
YOURSELF<br />
Sometimes all we need is<br />
five freaking minutes of metime<br />
behind a locked bathroom<br />
door. Sometimes we<br />
need a whole weekend on<br />
a distant island where cell<br />
phones don’t exist. That’s<br />
cool. Take it. Take the time<br />
to recharge your batteries<br />
so you have energy to give<br />
everyone else.<br />
3. OFFENDING PEOPLE<br />
It must be exhausting to<br />
be offended by everything<br />
all the time. It’s even more<br />
exhausting to try to avoid<br />
offending the people who<br />
manufacture outrage for<br />
fun. Voice your opinion<br />
without apology. You are<br />
not responsible for how<br />
others interpret your<br />
words, actions or<br />
hand gestures. Get<br />
the fuck over it, pearl<br />
clutchers.<br />
4. LIKING WHAT<br />
YOU LIKE<br />
So you’re addicted<br />
to sardines and<br />
never miss an<br />
episode of<br />
Alaskan<br />
Bush<br />
<strong>Kzn</strong> Lifestyle <strong>Magazine</strong> • Issue 10
11<br />
People, or you blast<br />
Nickelback and own seven<br />
pairs of Crocs, which<br />
you wear with striped toe<br />
socks. Don’t be sorry. Let<br />
it fly, freak.<br />
5. WHAT YOU FEED<br />
YOUR BABIES<br />
Breast or formula, chicken<br />
nuggets or kale smoothies—is<br />
your child fed?<br />
Good job, Mom. The end.<br />
6. YOUR HOUSE, YOUR<br />
HAIR, YOUR CLOTHES…<br />
My house always looks like<br />
it was ransacked by wolverines.<br />
Come to think of it,<br />
so does my hair. And yes,<br />
I’ve worn these yoga pants<br />
for three straight days.<br />
Who cares? My real friends<br />
don’t.<br />
7. SAYING NO<br />
“No” is a complete sentence.<br />
8. HAVING FEELINGS<br />
Expressing emotions, even<br />
if it makes others uncomfortable,<br />
is healthy and necessary.<br />
You are (probably)<br />
not a robot. It’s OK to feel<br />
things; it’s what makes us<br />
human. And yes, crying in<br />
the frozen food aisle when<br />
they are out of butter pecan<br />
ice cream is totally normal.<br />
9. HAVING NON-PARENT-<br />
ING RELATED INTER-<br />
ESTS<br />
Somebody call CPS!<br />
There’s a mom over there<br />
who stopped looking at her<br />
little cherub for 10 minutes<br />
to play Candy Crush! If<br />
anyone claims to be fully<br />
engaged with their offspring<br />
24/7, they are a lying liar.<br />
Kids can be mind-numbingly<br />
boring. It’s OK to have<br />
hobbies and interests that<br />
have nothing to do with<br />
your child.<br />
10. SENDING FOOD<br />
BACK IN A RESTAURANT<br />
Does your $9 bisque taste<br />
like tepid sewage? Why the<br />
hell are you still eating it?<br />
11. UNFRIENDING OR<br />
BLOCKING A NUTJOB<br />
ON FACEBOOK<br />
The duck-faced selfies, the<br />
incoherent rants, and sharing<br />
that article on Donald<br />
Trump’s many virtues made<br />
your decision for you. Bye,<br />
Trollicia!<br />
12. NOT HAVING A THIGH<br />
GAP<br />
Anyone who cares about<br />
this bullshit has a serious<br />
gap between their ears.<br />
The only thigh gap I notice<br />
is when Popeye’s gets my<br />
chicken order wrong.<br />
13. ASKING FOR MORE<br />
Whether we’re talking salary,<br />
tortilla chips or orgasms,<br />
you deserve it.<br />
14. TELLING THE TRUTH<br />
Tom Cruise can’t handle<br />
it, but it might just set you<br />
free.<br />
15. GETTING DIVORCED<br />
Your mother will get over it.<br />
Your children will come to<br />
understand you are making<br />
sure everyone is happier<br />
and healthier—especially<br />
you.<br />
16. HAVING TATTOOS<br />
Your body, your choice. Go<br />
on and get that full-back<br />
tat of Judge Judy. Only she<br />
can judge you. No ragrets!<br />
17. WHAT TURNS YOU ON<br />
What you like between<br />
the sheets (or on the floor,<br />
in the shower, or on the<br />
hood of your neighbor’s<br />
new Buick) may feel totally<br />
wrong for someone else,<br />
and that’s OK. Whatever<br />
and whoever gets you there<br />
is the right way for you.<br />
Tell your neighbor those<br />
scratches will buff right out.<br />
18. BEING A SAHM/BE-<br />
ING A WORKING MOM<br />
Why is this still a thing?<br />
Both groups are constantly<br />
being judged, and it needs<br />
to stop.<br />
19. TREATING YOUR-<br />
SELF EVERY ONCE IN A<br />
WHILE, a little indulgence<br />
is called for. Clothes,<br />
fragrances, mimosas, fine<br />
leather goods, treat yourself.<br />
20. ‘BOTHERING’ THE<br />
PEDIATRICIAN<br />
You are your child’s only<br />
advocate. Answering questions<br />
about your baby’s<br />
well-being is your doctor’s<br />
job, so if they seem annoyed,<br />
find a new doctor.<br />
21. HAVING A PAST<br />
We all have one. The things<br />
you’ve gone through have<br />
made you into the badass<br />
mofo you are today, so be<br />
grateful for the lessons<br />
learned and go on with your<br />
bad self.<br />
22. CHANGING YOUR<br />
MIND<br />
Yes, you’re wearing the<br />
white dress and there are<br />
25 pounds of jumbo shrimp<br />
marinating in a caterer’s<br />
van, or maybe you just<br />
really wanted the bacon<br />
cheeseburger instead of<br />
the spinach salad you<br />
ordered. So what? Go with<br />
your gut. Speak up. Don’t<br />
do something you’ll regret<br />
later just to save face now.<br />
23. CALLING SOMEONE<br />
OUT<br />
Confrontation is never<br />
pleasant, but neither is suffering<br />
in silence. Stand up<br />
for yourself, your child(ren)<br />
and your friends. Stick to<br />
the facts and remain calm,<br />
and disengage if the conversation<br />
starts to go south.<br />
Cursing someone out is<br />
fun, but ineffective—usually.<br />
24. YOUR BELIEFS<br />
There is no need to debate<br />
or defend your devotion to<br />
religion, atheism, veganism,<br />
bacon cheeseburgers,<br />
the NY Jets, or Bigfoot. You<br />
do you.<br />
25. SHIT YOU ARE NOT<br />
SORRY FOR<br />
The hashtag #SorryNot-<br />
Sorry sure is cute, but why<br />
even include the first sorry?<br />
Don’t apologize for things<br />
you aren’t sorry for, and<br />
more importantly, things<br />
you know you will continue<br />
to do without remorse.<br />
As the great writer Paulo<br />
Coelho says, “A mistake,<br />
repeated more than once,<br />
is a decision.”<br />
Got it? Own it!<br />

Defending champs’ legacy<br />
lives on at 2016 Sani Dragon<br />
Himeville<br />
– Defending<br />
champions<br />
Tyronne White and<br />
Andrew Hill look set to<br />
miss this year’s edition<br />
of the Fedauto Sani<br />
Dragon in association<br />
with Mortimer Toyota<br />
on 30 September and 1<br />
October however their<br />
legacy lives on through<br />
one of the former’s talented<br />
young protégés.<br />
Having taken junior<br />
star Reinhard Zellhuber<br />
under his coaching wing<br />
over the past two years,<br />
White believes the 18<br />
year-old Kokstad based<br />
rider will have a telling<br />
impact on this year’s<br />
two-day Southern Drakensberg<br />
mountain bike<br />
clash.<br />
“He’s hugely talented<br />
though and I’m sure<br />
he and his team mate,<br />
Marc Fourie, will<br />
definitely be a team to<br />
watch out for at this<br />
year’s Sani Dragon!”<br />
With White and Hill’s<br />
Thule-TIB combination<br />
unlikely to be back<br />
to defend their title<br />
this year due to family<br />
commitments and<br />
a crammed schedule<br />
respectively, Zellhuber<br />
– together with his<br />
FedGroup team mate,<br />
19 year-old Fourie from<br />
Bloemfontein – is eager<br />
step up and fill the void<br />
left on the top step<br />
of the Sani Dragon’s<br />
podium.<br />
“Marc and I are felling<br />
strong and positive at<br />
the moment and we’ve<br />
got a good felling ahead<br />
of the Sani Dragon,”<br />
explains Garrun Insurance/Merida<br />
SA’s<br />
Zellhuber.<br />
“We believe we can<br />
finish inside the top two<br />
but our main aim is definitely<br />
to go for the win,<br />
which would be really<br />
big for both of us at this<br />
stage of our careers.”<br />
Zellhuber believes his<br />
friendship off the bike<br />
with Cyclotech Cycles’<br />
Fourie and the pair’s<br />
regular rivalry on the<br />
trails also stands them<br />
in good stead.<br />
“We’re arch enemies<br />
while we’re on the bike<br />
and racing in the same<br />
age category.<br />
“Over the past couple of<br />
years we have become<br />
extremely good friends<br />
though and once we<br />
cross that finish line<br />
then that’s where<br />
everything that comes<br />
with racing against one<br />
2015 co-winner Tyronne White (Thule/PYGA<br />
Industries) believes his young protégé, Reinhard<br />
Zellhuber (pictured) and his FedGroup team mate,<br />
Marc Fourie, stand a strong chance of winning this<br />
year’s Fedauto Sani Dragon in association with<br />
Mortimer Toyota. Anthony Grote/<br />
Gameplan Media<br />
another stops.<br />
“Together, I think we’ll<br />
make a great team!<br />
Having experienced<br />
the intricacies of stage<br />
racing on two previous<br />
occasions, Zellhuber is<br />
looking forward to the<br />
opportunity of applying<br />
what he’s learnt on trails<br />
many would consider<br />
his own backyard.<br />
“I’ve heard a lot about<br />
the Sani Dragon and<br />
have wanted to race<br />
it ever since Tyronne<br />
(White) did his first one.<br />
“It will be something a<br />
little different to what<br />
I’m used to but I’m really<br />
looking forward to<br />
the challenge.<br />
“It’s also great that the<br />
race is so close to home<br />
and it will be awesome<br />
to explore the area’s<br />
trails and take in all<br />
the incredibly beautiful<br />
scenery along the way<br />
as well.”<br />
The 2016 Fedauto Sani<br />

Increase Fat Loss by<br />
Eating More Protein<br />
Everyone<br />
must try to<br />
add more<br />
protein<br />
to their<br />
diet, particularly when<br />
making an eating plan<br />
to lose excess body<br />
fat. Taking in at least<br />
one gram per pound of<br />
body weight per day is a<br />
good start.Increase Fat<br />
Loss by Eating More<br />
Protein<br />
Introduction<br />
Want to get rid of the<br />
fats you have in a faster<br />
way? Make it possible<br />
by making one change<br />
to your diet, increase<br />
your protein consumption.<br />
It is one of the fastest<br />
ways to jump-start<br />
fat loss for a number of<br />
reasons.<br />
Most people lack protein<br />
in their diets. They<br />
usually take primarily<br />
fat and carbs that slow<br />
down the rate of weightloss<br />
reduction. Proteinrich<br />
foods might require<br />
more time to cook and<br />
prepare compared to<br />
some other food options<br />
but it’s all worth it.<br />
Switching to other quick<br />
options like protein powder<br />
as an addition to<br />
whole food sources will<br />
also do.<br />
Let’s talk about the<br />
reasons why you should<br />
increase your protein<br />
intake to at least<br />
15%–20% of your total<br />
diet to attain the best<br />
fat-loss results.<br />
The Details<br />
Protein helps to<br />
increase your metabolic<br />
rate. Protein-rich<br />
foods need the most<br />
calories in the breaking<br />
down process. In<br />
every 100 calories of<br />
protein intake, you can<br />
burn up to 25 of those<br />
calories through digestion.<br />
However, you can<br />
only burn two and four<br />
calories with fats and<br />
carbs intake.<br />
Protein manages blood<br />
glucose levels. Protein<br />
won’t transform into<br />
glucose in the body<br />
so they are great for<br />
managing your blood<br />
sugar levels that lead<br />
to a blood sugar high<br />
resulting in a crash.<br />
Sugar crash makes you<br />
crave simple carbs that<br />
will work in opposition<br />
to your fat-loss efforts.<br />
Protein stops lean<br />
muscle mass loss. A<br />
reduced-calorie diet will<br />
allow your body to lose<br />
fats but it also means<br />
losing your muscles.<br />
Proteins are used as<br />
fuel for your daily activities,<br />
so you need more<br />
protein left to prevent<br />
losing your lean muscle<br />
tissues.<br />
Protein boosts faster<br />
recovery between<br />
workouts. Protein is essential<br />
to complete the<br />
regaining and restoring<br />
process of muscle<br />
tissue after a strenuous<br />
workout session. Consuming<br />
a mix of amino<br />
acids (proteins) will help<br />
your body to get back<br />
into your training session<br />
again like nothing<br />
happened.<br />
Protein soothes hunger<br />
pains. Consuming proteins<br />
will keep you from<br />
feeling hungry between<br />
meals. It takes longer<br />
to digest so it reduces<br />
the hunger experience<br />
throughout the day. This<br />
will help you sustain<br />
your reduced-calorie<br />
diet plan.<br />
The Bottom Line<br />
Everyone should try to<br />
include more protein<br />
in their diet, especially<br />
when making an eating<br />
plan to lose excess<br />
body fat. Taking in at<br />
least one gram per<br />
pound of body weight<br />
per day is a good start.<br />
Chicken, turkey, fish,<br />
lean red meat, low-fat<br />
dairy products, eggs<br />
and protein powder are<br />
rich sources of protein.<br />
Failing to take enough<br />
protein will just lead to<br />
a weaker and slower<br />
metabolism.<br />

Birkett wins<br />
World Cup in<br />
Portugal<br />
Andy Birkett produced a<br />
sublime tactical outing<br />
to clinch the gold medal<br />
in the Men’s K1 race at<br />
the ICF Canoe Marathon<br />
World Cup in Portugal<br />
on Sunday. John Hishin/<br />
Gameplan Media<br />
Andy Birkett<br />
won the<br />
gold<br />
medal in<br />
the men’s<br />
K1 ICF Marathon World<br />
Cup in Prado Vila Verde<br />
in Portugal, repeating<br />
his short course victory<br />
on Saturday to make it<br />
a double gold weekend<br />
for the Pietermaritzburg<br />
paddler.<br />
Racing in warm but<br />
windy conditions Birkett<br />
stayed with the initial<br />
breakaway group of four<br />
paddlers with local ace<br />
José Ramahlo, Hungarian<br />
K2 world champion<br />
Adrian Boros and Jakub<br />
Adam of the Czech<br />
Republic.<br />
Adam was a casualty<br />
of the raised intensity<br />
midway through the<br />
race, and with the podium<br />
decided the lead<br />
trio settled into a classic<br />
game of cat-and-mouse<br />
in the final quarter of<br />
the race.<br />
Going into the final half<br />
lap Boros was uncharacteristically<br />
sluggish<br />
on the final portage,<br />
allowing Ramalho and<br />
Birkett to get away.<br />
Boros fought back gallantly<br />
but then got stuck<br />
behind an Under 23<br />
back marker exiting the<br />
final turn, leaving Birkett<br />
and Ramalho to fight it<br />
out for the title in front<br />
of a vocal crowd of supporters.<br />
Birkett took a brave<br />
tactical gamble to cut<br />
behind and inside of<br />
Ramalho with a hundred<br />
metres to go, a<br />
gamble that hinged on<br />
him starting his end<br />
sprint some way further<br />
from the finish than he<br />
would normally have<br />
liked.<br />
The Euro Steel paddler<br />
had plenty of gas in<br />
the tank and powered<br />
across the line to claim<br />
his first senior international<br />
marathon title.<br />
“I an thrilled with this<br />
win,” said Birkett, quickly<br />
pointing out that his<br />
strategy in the build-up<br />
to the World Marathon<br />
Championships was<br />
built on getting as much<br />
racing experience under<br />
his belt as possible.<br />
“I didn’t have a good<br />
race at the World Marathon<br />
Champs last year<br />
so this is all valuable<br />
experience for me,” he<br />
said.<br />
“My plan initially was<br />
just to stay with the fast<br />
guys. Once we had<br />
settled into the group<br />
of four we were able to<br />
relax. Before in the big<br />
group things were a bit<br />
chaotic,” he added.<br />
Birkett will return to<br />
South Africa to fine tune<br />
his preparation for the<br />
World Marathon Championships<br />
in Brandenberg.<br />

propelled the KZN<br />
Franchise into the next<br />
phase of their preparations<br />
for the upcoming<br />
2016/17 South African<br />
domestic cricket season.<br />
With various squad<br />
members having spent<br />
much of the winter<br />
playing cricket in the<br />
Northern Hemisphere,<br />
at the Powerade National<br />
Academy or with<br />
the South Africa ‘A’<br />
squad in Australia, head<br />
coach Grant Morgan<br />
is pleased to have the<br />
majority of his personnel<br />
gathered in Durban<br />
once more.<br />
“It’s great to have a<br />
near full squad together<br />
again,” says Morgan.<br />
“The SA ‘A’ guys got<br />
back on Wednesday<br />
and all the guys except<br />
Daryn Smit are now<br />
back from the UK.”<br />
“Those who have been<br />
here in Durban this<br />
winter have been working<br />
really hard and I’m<br />
really pleased with what<br />
they’ve achieved so far.<br />
“With the other guys’<br />
return, it will be great<br />
to now get everyone<br />
working together again<br />
in the build up to this<br />
important season for<br />
the Dolphins.”<br />
While the fit members<br />
of the extended<br />
Dolphins, KZN, KZN<br />
Inland and KZN Cricket<br />
Academy squad enjoy<br />
another internal warmup<br />
match at Chatsworth<br />
Oval on Thursday and<br />
Friday this week, a few<br />
continue their recovery<br />
from injury.<br />
“We still have Daryn<br />
Dupavillon completing<br />
his rehabilitation after<br />
his shoulder, and now<br />
also finger surgery<br />
while Brandon Scullard<br />
and Prenelan Subrayen<br />
recently suffered injuries,<br />
but all in all we’re<br />
looking really good and<br />
I’m pleased with things<br />
are going.<br />
“The guys have also<br />
had a couple of honest<br />
chats already and there<br />
is a great atmosphere<br />
amongst the squad –<br />
you can already start to<br />
feel the love developing,”<br />
says Morgan.<br />
Sunfoil Dolphins head coach is pleased to have close<br />
to a full squad back in Durban ahead of the upcoming<br />
Morgan also confirms<br />
that a fitness test on<br />
Monday and a team<br />
building session on<br />
the Wild Coast from<br />
Tuesday to Thursday<br />
will then be followed by<br />
some more time in the<br />
middle.<br />
“Our fitness test on<br />
Monday will give us a<br />
clear understanding of<br />
where each player is at<br />
this stage and should<br />
there be any improvement<br />
needed, the guys<br />
then have three weeks<br />
to do so before the season<br />
starts.<br />
2016/17 season.<br />
“Our time down the<br />
coast as well as a<br />
team braai, etc. before<br />
the season will hopefully<br />
continue to bring<br />
the group even closer<br />
together.<br />
“Another internal warmup<br />
game or two will also<br />
give everyone some<br />
more good opportunities<br />
out there in the<br />
middle before we head<br />
into season proper,<br />
starting with the Sunfoil<br />
Series.”<br />
