A good relationship with food involves having unconditional permission to eat the foods that make you feel good physically and mentally. Having a good relationship with food isn’t something you can achieve overnight. Rather, it’s something that you’ll likely have to work on your entire life — just as you’d work on a relationship with your partner, friend, or any other meaningful person in your life.

Our next guest approaches nutrition with the following Mantra: When you heal your mind, you heal your body. Whether it's a food addiction, binge eating, a chronic illness, lack of energy, sleeplessness, acne or any one of the dis-eases that appear in our bodies because of stress, wrong nutrition or life happening. The journey to healing any of them, starts with the right state of mind.

Lactalis South Africa’s 10-months Mature Gouda, made especially for Woolworths, was crowned the South African Dairy Product of the Year for an unrivalled third time at the South African Dairy Awards on Friday 26 March 2021 at Cavalli Estate near Stellenbosch. This achievement is a first for the SA Dairy Championships, celebrating its 188th year of existence.

“For a product to be chosen as Dairy Product of the Year in a competition of this nature is the dream of every cheesemaker,” says dairy expert and chief judge Alan Fourie. The Gouda, an aromatic and full-flavoured cheese, was one of almost 900 dairy products from 68 producers that vied for the attention of the 60 judges. From the big number of entries, only eight were honoured with the Qualité mark of excellence (full list of the crème de la crème below) and 106 – the winners in each championship class – were named SA Champion.

Stress is a situation that triggers a particular biological response. When you perceive a threat or a major challenge, chemicals and hormones surge throughout your body. Stress triggers your fight-or-flight response in order to fight the stressor or run away from it. Typically, after the response occurs, your body should relax. Too much constant stress can have negative effects on your long-term health. There are three types of stress: Acute stress, episodic acute stress, and chronic stress.

Physical activity can help lower your overall stress levels and improve your quality of life, both mentally and physically. Exercising regularly can have a positive effect on your mood by relieving the tension, anxiety, anger, and mild depression that often go hand-in-hand with stress. It can improve the quality of your sleep, which can be negatively impacted by stress, depression, and anxiety. It can also help boost your confidence levels

These days, the best love is self-love. This is doing the things that are good for you, consistently. The journey involves not only recognizing the importance of making time in your schedule for yourself but also focusing on activities that can improve your emotional, mental and physical health as well.

Our next guest challenges us to pay more attention to what we need as individuals, what feels good to us and most importantly, what is serving us and what no longer serves our existence.
