Hiking is a cost-effective intervention that encourages people to be physically active while spending time in nature. Benefits may be immediate such as decreased blood pressure, decreased stress levels, enhanced immune system functioning and restored attention. These benefits may be long-lasting such as weight loss and decreased depression. People who spend more time in nature and less time with technology are up to 50% more creative when it comes to problem-solving activities. Our next guest takes us through how he combined his passion for the outdoors and wellness on a hiking trail. He has started a movement that has taken root in Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Northern Cape

Viewers get the opportunity to experience the mechanic side of the agriculture world. During the   challenges, the participants will be faced with a series of tasks that test their technical ability and teamwork.

According to research conducted as part of Tiger Brands’ Eat Well, Live Well initiative, ‘The State of Nutrition in SA’ report shows that SA’s average Body Mass Index (BMI) is 35,1.

As many head into the holiday season, our diets and exercise routines will definitely get tested and our next guest shares her advice on how we can find activities that will help us stay active.
