IV infusions: The body-boosting trend!<br />

If you hate needles, you probably stay far away from them unless they are necessary<br />

to save your life. Nowadays, however, people are subjecting themselves increasingly<br />

to needles by choice – thanks to the availability of intravenous (IV) vitamins that are<br />

gaining popularity by the day.<br />

What are they? The infusion treatments target a variety of wellness needs by<br />

replenishing hydration, aiding recovery from illness or jet lag, providing hangover<br />

relief and restoring vitamin and nutrient levels, while refreshing cosmetic<br />

appearance and revitalising overall well-being.<br />

Need to know: A consultation with a medical doctor is essential before any IV<br />

infusions to rule out any liver, kidney or heart disease. High-risk patients with<br />

epilepsy, diabetes, sickle-cell disease or cancer also need to be identified<br />

by your attending doctor. Ask yourself the following: Is the place that you<br />

visit<br />

safe? Do they have all the medical equipment and training as per the<br />

standards required by the Department of Health?<br />

Avoid burnout at work<br />

This time of the year you might<br />

experience low energy during the<br />

workday, a loss of interest in your<br />

work, and irritability with colleagues<br />

or team members. These are typical<br />

signs of burnout. Burnouts can lead<br />

to low productivity, high absenteeism,<br />

low creativity, and even health<br />

problems which is why it's better<br />

to avoid burnout before it harms<br />

your career.<br />

Follow these tips to avoid burnout:<br />

1. Work with purpose.<br />

2. Perform a job analysis, and<br />

eliminate or delegate unnecessary<br />

work.<br />

3. Take control, and actively manage<br />

your time.<br />

4. Get more exercise.<br />

5. Learn how to manage stress.<br />

Try this!<br />

Aesthetic glitter bottles ...<br />

In a transparent bottle, just add<br />

water and glue in an 80–20<br />

ratio. (You can use soapy water<br />

instead of glue.) Then add a lot<br />

of glitter! You can twirl the bottle<br />

or tilt it upside down! Seeing the<br />

glitter flow calms people down.<br />

This is one of the easiest hacks<br />

out there and many people<br />

suffering from anxiety have<br />

claimed that this helps.
