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 />

Memory - Apple iPhone<br />

7 and iPhone 7 Plus<br />

will come in 32 GB, 128<br />

GB and 256 GB variation<br />

with a powerful 2<br />

GB RAM. There is no<br />

external card slot in<br />

IPhone 7.<br />

Chip - Preliminary<br />

reports recommend<br />

that iPhone 7 will be<br />

powered by Apple’s<br />

new A10 chip offering<br />

a most extreme clock<br />

speed of 2.4 GHz.<br />

Battery - Non-removable<br />

Li-Po 1960 mAh<br />

battery.<br />

Colours - The new<br />

models from the iPhone<br />

will be available in<br />

Deep blue, Space Gray,<br />

Silver, Gold and Rose<br />

Gold Colours according<br />

to GSM Arena.<br />

Protection - The new<br />

iPhone will be water<br />

resistant and iPhone 7<br />

covers and cases will<br />

be available in stores,<br />

few days after its<br />

dispatch in various<br />

nations.<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 />

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 />

Austin TX or your local<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

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 />

of the<br />

majority<br />

of the Sunfoil Dolphins<br />

squad to Durban has<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 />
