The South African population continues to undergo a rapid epidemiological shift because our lifestyles are changing what food we eat. We have access to fast food joints, neglecting nutritious homemade meals.

This has subjected us to a pattern of nutrition-based diseases, but it is encouraging that diet is one of the modifiable lifestyle-related risk factors for poor health.

Diets are not a one-size-fits-all solutions. So, how can we create personalised balanced and nutritious diet that suits a student budget?

We can use the Food-based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG), which is a positive, practical, sustainable, affordable, and culturally sensitive guideline to a healthy South African diet.

Remember: Cristiano Ronaldo needs 10 teammates to play a soccer match and win. The same goes for a winning diet plan: The success is based on the combination of foods consumed over a longer period. See it as basically as an investment that matures into dividends of healthy eating habits!

The human body needs no less than 40 different nutrients to stay healthy. This guideline aims to encourage you to increase the variety of food eaten and food group combinations. This increases micronutrient intake such as iron(erythrocyte formation), magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin B12, phosphorus, vitamin B6, riboflavin, thiamine, and vitamin A.

Being active increases energy use improves digestion and immune system function. It is encouraged to stay active.

Starch food includes maize meal, bread, cereals, potatoes, rice, pasta. The common misconception is that starchy foods are fattening and should be avoided. It is a good idea to plan meals with starch being basis (50% of the plate).

Preferably use wholewheat, unrefined, and fibre-rich starch. Remember to drink water with fibrous food to suppress the feeling of hunger and increase the period of satiety.

They are excellent sources of micronutrients and improve immune system functioning. They are low in fat, energy, and high in fibre. Additionally, a tremendous choice for in-between meal snacks.

Eat dry beans, split beans, lentils, and soy products. They are high in fibre and provide an alternative meat replacement as a high protein source.

Dairy products are an important source of calcium, which is aids growth, development, and prevention of bone disorders and hypertension (high blood pressure).

You are advised to eat lean cuts of meat and remove all visible fat before cooking and red meat is also suggested as it increases iron which important is red blood cell production. Iron deficiency causes anaemia.

Several glasses a day will do the trick.

Choose vegetable oils rather than hard fat, this includes cream and butter.

Tip: The next time you go shopping, it might be advisable to also check the typical nutritional information on the back or side of the packaged product.

Be kind to yourself: Some hotwings or burgers twice week wont hurt either, its all a processso do it slow and gently.

Life changed overnight for millions of people across the globe in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, which shuttered businesses and forced many people to follow stay-at-home measures issued by their local governments. These measures not only affected the overall health of those infected with the virus but also those who experienced no symptoms and even tested negative for COVID-19.In recognition of the mental toll that social distancing and stay-at-home measures can take, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advised people to exercise regularly. But opportunities to exercise seemingly dried up when stay-at-home guidelines were issued and gyms were shuttered. People without exercise equipment at home suddenly found themselves wondering how they could stay fit and keep their bodies in the best possible condition to fight a virus that has claimed thousands of lives. Thankfully, there are ways to stay fit and keep immune systems strong without violating stay-at-home measures. Access online exercise programs. Many gyms that were forced to close to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus began offering exercise tutorials and classes via social media or websites such as YouTube. Go back to the basics. Many people no doubt recall gym class from their school days. Such classes teach youngsters the basics of physical fitness without employing dumbbells or advanced exercise machines. Those same basic exercises that work for youngsters, including push-ups, sit-ups and lunges, can be effective for adults as well. Do some yard work. It might not feel as high-intensity as a spinning class or a Pilates session, but yard work can be a great workout. Dust off the push mower the next time the grass needs to be cut, and get to work on pulling weeds in garden beds. Go for a jog. Perhaps the simplest way to exercise during the pandemic is to go for a daily jog. According to the Mayo Clinic, aerobic exercise repeatedly moves large muscles in the arms, legs, and hips while engaging the immune system and helping it to ward off minor viral illnesses.Exercise can help people maintain their immune systems in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, and there are many simple ways to fit in a little physical activity even while social distancing.

Health, nutrition and exercise dont have to be put on hold just because most of us are stuck at home.

ST. LOUIS Did you know there are virtual options available when it comes to reducing the risk of prediabetes? The Association Director of Community Health at Gateway Region YMCA, Kimberly Thro, is here to tell us how it all works.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Diabetes Prevention Program is part of a larger campaign called the National Diabetes Prevention Program. The goal of these programs is not only to help people prevent diabetes, but also to help them increase physical activity, reduce their fat intake, and integrate healthy eating practices. Kimberly notes that these programs work to help people on the participants terms. The goal is not to force people into any lifestyle changes they dont feel they will be able to maintain.

In terms of proper nutrition during this pandemic, not much really needs to change. People should still be getting plenty of fruits and vegetables and focusing on whole foods. For exercise, it might be more of a struggle but there are plenty of online resources to keep you active at home.

Meet Jason Rybak and learn how he was able to transform his outlook and his size. Transformation Tuesday is back, and there couldn't be a better time for some positivity and inspiration! If you feel like you need a sense of control and structure for your life again, weight loss coach Charles D'Angelo teaches that you should start by taking control of what you can control yourself.

The goal of the virtual prediabetes program is that it will feel very similar to an in-person program. It will allow participants to build relationships with each other and with their lifestyle coach. Allowing people to connect from afar with technology means they dont have to wait to get started.

To find out if you could be at risk, visit reverseyourrisk.com. This will help you find your starting point. If you are interested in joining a virtual cohort or want to take a quiz to learn more, you can go to gwrymca.org/preventdiabetes. For any lingering questions you can email preventdiabetes@gwrymca.org.

Digital fitness is enjoying a COVID-19 boom. Online fitness technology provider Virtuagym reports a 400% increase in engagement and a 300% increase in the use of online workouts. Gyms, barre instructors, and yoga studios have been on a steep learning curve to become online businesses. And social media feeds have been flooded with home fitness options.

Women have long been the focus of home fitness programs so it makes sense they are at the forefront of this shift, finding ways to connect and fit more fitness into their day.

Health clubs around Australia are set to reopen between now and mid-June. But the gains women have made online might make them less inclined to return to the gym once restrictions ease.

While many people are using free content on YouTube during social isolation, others are sticking with fitness instructors who usually run classes in gyms, parks or studios.

By becoming digital providers, instructors can support their loyal clientele through difficult times while protecting their livelihoods during a massive industry downturn .

Big industry players are getting in on the action, with Nikes Livingroom Cup and Stravas range of stay active at home challenges aiming to provide motivation and connection with others.

Previous studies have shown people with gym memberships are more likely to meet weekly fitness benchmarks than those without, perhaps due to the financial commitment theyve made. Older studies have looked at the tribal appeal of group fitness and the influence of others.

Global fitness celebrities like Les Mills, Kayla Itsines, Sam Wood and Chris Hemsworth are offering free program trials during lockdown. They hope mass uptake will convert to longer term paid subscriptions.

Research shows women find it difficult to exercise for reasons including caring commitments, and feelings of intimidation and judgement in public leisure settings. Digital fitness offers privacy, safety and convenience.

There are also economic and time-saving benefits for women, who have less time for leisure than men and less money to spend on fitness.

Digital technologies and programs can also help women build supportive online social networks around their workouts. Facebook groups include Fitness First at Home with 10,000 members and the hashtag #GotAHomeGotAGym.

With 12.5 million followers, the dominant face of online fitness is Kayla Itsines. Her success can be attributed in part to her effective use of digital platforms to build a fitness community.

Though research has indicated Instagram use can contribute to poor self-esteem and negative self-perception, women also have the opportunity to take pride in their exercise achievements with hashtags like #fitnessgoals and #isolationfitness.

By analysing how active women interact with each other online, we have observed many benefits of digital networks for supporting womens mental health, community building, and knowledge sharing.

In our study of Itsines fitness followers on Instagram, we found sharing photos, stories and advice was important for staying motivated.

Statements from followers such as I want you to know that whatever you are going through - its OKAY! and You have to tell yourself each day I got this, Im gunna get those abs and lose this muffin top, show how women connect and relate to each other online by disclosing feelings of insecurity as well as hopes for overcoming them. These connections can feel especially meaningful for women at home or exercising alone.

As part of research soon to be published, we interviewed a dozen Melbourne women who are using Instagram for fitness. They repeatedly identified the value in the communities they found online. One interviewee said:

I feel that I, through Instagram, have got to know more people and I learn a lot of things from them and its a source of inspiration for me.

Another said:

Id moved to a city where I didnt really know anyone, so it was quite isolating for a period of time. Ive always thrived on health and fitness so I still trained, but in the last two years with this [online] running community I have my sense of belonging back, and I feel like Ive got my people again.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, people are using digital technologies to connect with existing fitness communities. Others are discovering online communities for the first time. This is especially important amid concerns about the mental health impact of social isolation. Experts know that physical exercise can help.

Of course, connection leaves room for comparison. While comparison can be motivating, digital exercise communities also fuel pressures on women to demonstrate feminine success through physical and psychological means.

Performing fit femininity online can impose new demands of self-love, body positivity and ongoing self-improvement. These values are captured in inspirational fitness quotes that encourage women to accept who they are while simultaneously aspiring to a better version of themselves.

In our research on the Itsines #BBG fitness community, we studied thousands of women from around the world of all different body shapes and sizes brought together in a shared motivation for a changing body, the becomings of a better body.

The presentation of positive emotion through and about the body was prevalent in the images and text, with posts carrying affirming hashtags like #selflove #strongnotskinny #bodypositive #healthyandhappy".

How womens exercise efforts are responded to by others through comments and reactions, can shape womens digital fitness participation.

With the gradual loosening of COVID-19 restrictions, gyms will reopen and many free programs will cease to be available.

Some people will return to leisure centres and fitness studios over the coming weeks, driven by the physical connections, infrastructure and the sense of familiarity these spaces provide. However, we anticipate that many women will maintain their home workout habits because of the value found in these online offerings.

Shareholders may bring one (1) or two (2) advisors to the general meeting, subject to the shareholder notifying this according to what is set out above.

As there is no requirement to include information regarding the record date in the Articles of Association, since this is regulated by the Companies Act (2005: 551), and as the current wording of paragraph 9 of the Articles of Association is not compatible with an expected change in the Companies Act which is expected to enter into force in 2020, the Board of Directors proposes that paragraph 9 of the Articles of Association shall be amended as set out above.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution regarding authorizing the Board of Directors to resolve to issue new shares, issue convertible loan notes and/or issue warrants (item 13)

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting authorizes the Board to resolve, on one or more occasions, during the period and until the end of the next annual general meeting, to increase the Companys share capital through new issue of shares, convertible loan notes, and/or warrants to the extent permitted by the Articles of Association from time to time.

New issue of shares, as well as issue of warrants and convertible loan notes, shall be able to take place with or without deviation from the shareholders pre-emption right, against cash payment, for payment in kind, by way of set-off, or on conditions following from Chapter 2, Section 5 of the Swedish Companies Act. According to Chapter 16 of the Swedish Companies Act, this authorization does not authorize the board of directors to resolve on issue to Board Directors and/or employees of the Company.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution on approval of the board of directors decision to issue new shares with deviation from the shareholders pre-emption right (item 14)

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting approve the board of directors resolution to increase the Companys share capital by no more than SEK 213,611.04 due to the issue of up to 2,591,140 new shares.

The new shares shall be issued at a subscription price of SEK 1.50 per share, which corresponds to approximately 21 per cent discount based on the closing price on 5 May 2020.

Subscription of new shares was completed on 18 May 2020 in accordance with the boards resolution. The right to subscribe for the new shares was, disapplying from the shareholders pre-emption rights, vested in Truls Baklid, Jakob Leitner and Thomas Seifried (employees of the Company) and to the board member Hans Othar Blix. In total, 2,524,474 new shares were subscribed for.

The reason for derogating the shareholders pre-emption right is that the employees and the member of the Board, through their own investment, should be able to access and work for a positive value development of the Companys shares and thus achieve alignment of interest with the Companys shareholders.

The new shares entitle the holder to a dividend as from the date on which the shares are entered in the share register maintained by Euroclear Sweden AB.

A valid resolution pursuant to this item requires that the resolution be supported by shareholders representing at least nine-tenths (9/10) of both the votes cast and the shares represented at the annual general meeting.

Resolution to a) approve the Board of Directors proposed new share-based incentive program through b) directed issue of warrants and c) approval of transfer of warrants (item 15)

The Board of Directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to approve the Board of Directors decision on 6 May 2020 on a share based incentive program for certain employees and consultants in the Company and its subsidiaries (the Incentive Program 2020/2023A) in accordance with what is stated under section a) below.

In order to secure the Companys commitments under the Incentive Program 2020/2023A, the Board of Directors also proposes that the annual general meeting shall resolve on a directed issue of warrants in accordance with what is stated under section b) below and resolve to approve the transfer of warrants to certain employees and consultants in the Company and its subsidiaries as specified under section c) below.

a) Resolution on the adoption of a new share-based incentive program

The Board propose that the general meeting resolves to adopt the Incentive Program 2020/2023A on the following principal terms and conditions:

*The allocation of warrants in each category will partly be subject to each participant, holding warrants under the previous Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019, waiving all its rights under the Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019. In this respect, the allocation will be made on a 1:1 ratio, implying that each holder will be offered one new warrant in the Incentive Program 2020/2023A in exchange for waiving its right to one warrant in a previous program. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of warrants in the Employee Stock Option Program 2018 and/or the Employee Stock Option Program 2019 that are no longer active consultants or employed by the Company or its subsidiaries will not be subject for this offer.

b) Resolution on a directed issue of warrants

In order to enable the Companys delivery of shares according to the Incentive Program 2020/2023A and to secure related costs, primarily social security contributions, the Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves on a directed issue of a maximum of 9,000,000 warrants and on approval of transfer of warrants on the following principal terms and conditions:

c) Resolution on approval of transfer of warrants

The Board of Directors proposes that the annual general meeting resolves to approve that the Subsidiary may transfer warrants to participants in the Incentive Program 2020/2023A without consideration in connection with warrants being exercised in accordance with the conditions under section a) above or otherwise disposing of the warrants to secure the Companys commitments and costs in relation to the Incentive Program 2020/2023A.

Additional information on the Incentive Program 2020/2023

The reason for the adoption of the Incentive Program 2020/2023A and the deviation from shareholders pre-emptive right to subscribe for new warrants is to be able to create opportunities for the Company and its subsidiaries to retain competent personnel by offering a long-term ownership commitment for the employees.

New telehealth model of care paves the way for increasing patient engagement and improving patient outcomes

Australian health care provider, Care Connected, has launched a new model of care that offersboth the telehealth technology platform, the tailored health care programs for remote consultations and the actual health professionals to deliver the health services. The model of care specialises in the key areas of supportive cancer care and mental health recovery.

The cancer support services provide a tailored approach for patients across the care continuum from early intervention to end of life care, and the mental health recovery programs utilise a stepped care approach in the assessments of every individual and are underpinned by recovery orientated practice and trauma informed care.

Michael Marthick,Founder and Managing Director, Care Connected, says, Our model of care draws on decades of best practice research and testing and is proven to bring better health outcomes to more people, for less cost. We have developed ourend-to-end care coordination approach as we know it increases patient engagement and ultimately improves patient outcomes.

Patient reported health outcomes are measured routinely using remote monitoring tools, this then enables programs to be adapted, and care delivery improvements can be made in real time.

Accessible now, Care Connecteds tailored health and wellbeing programsprovide a multidisciplinary care teamto patients anywhere. This multidisciplinary model of care is delivered via video calls, messaging, and remote monitoring using high quality, secure connections and may consist of Psychologists, Oncology nurses, Exercise Physiologists, Physiotherapists, Dietitians to name a few. This care team approach is integral to Care Connecteds model of care. An experienced oncology registered nurse then coordinates the care team, develops the care plans and provides support and advice for the duration of the program.

Mr Marthick continues, Telehealth has a vital role to play now and beyond the current COVID-19 situation.Digital health data is growing exponentially, feeding new knowledge and insights that can ultimately inform predictive and personalised care. All of this means tremendous things for maintaining wellness and delivering individualised healthcare that keeps people out of hospital and engaged in an active life, whether they live in metro, regional or remote Australia.

As Australias success rate in cancer treatment rises, the next challenge for our health professionals, and health care system is providing patient centredrecovery care models. Many people discover they need support after their cancer care treatment concludes, be it focussed on health and wellness, including mental as well as physical issues or reflecting on the cancer experience to dealing with the expectation of family and friends. An end-to-end care coordination and multidisciplinary care team telehealth approach provides the ideal solution.

Two weeks before Christmas 2015, Emma Bowen from the Atherton Tablelands, Queensland, was diagnosed with Stage III Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent several cycles of ABVD chemotherapy treatment over the following seven months.

Emma was referred to Care Connected Cancer Support program in mid 2018 by her Life Insurer. With a history of complications that were impacting her quality of life,a tailored program was designed to improve fatigue, pain and improve Emmas physical and mental quality of life. PTSD and anxiety issues were triggered for Emma as a result of diagnosis and treatment, so she was enrolled in a Care Connected Mental Health Coaching Program in 2019, funded by her Private Health Insurer.

Ms Bowen comments, Initially, for my Cancer Care support program, I was provided with Exercise Physiology appointments, Psychology and Dietetic support. I found the Psychology sessions especially helpful as living in a rural region, I did not previously have access to a Psychologist who specialised in working with Cancer patients.

She adds, Before being referred, I never knew such a program existed in such a format to make it accessible to those of us in rural settings, most programs I saw were being run, face-to-face in cities. To have the ability to access amazing specialists as part of one telehealth care program in the comfort of my own home, without having to travel, has been a huge blessing in my post treatment journey.

Often with Cancer patients, the focus is on the treatment phase through to remission, afterwards, without programs like Care Connected we are often left to explore and navigate post-treatment options. My current program is continuing to really help me bridge this gap and rebuild my new life.

Care Connected offer services direct-to-patient, via referral from their Specialist, General Practitioner (GP), other healthcare professional or directly via the patients enquiry. Its programs are also designed to provide many benefits to insurers, healthcare organisations and health professionals.

Research shows that eating protein can help reduce cravings by 60 percent which will also help you to slim down as this will help you reduce your calorie intake.

In order to lose weight, your diet needs to be in a calorie deficit state. This means that your body is burning more calories than you are consuming. Therefore, adding more protein will help you diet be in a calorie deficit as you will be eating less throughout the day.

Protein also helps boost the metabolism. If your metabolism is high, you will burn more calories at rest and during activity.

This nutrient is crucial for your body in order to lose weight, especially belly fat as it contains a high thermic effect which is the amount of energy your body needs to burn in order to break down, digest and metabolise the food.

Eggs

Eggs are a low-calorie food rich in protein and other key nutrients that the body needs. Eating eggs can support weight loss, especially when incorporated into a calorie controlled diet.

Research suggests that eggs boost metabolic activity which can help reduce belly fat and they can also increase feelings of fullness, meaning you will consume less calories in a day.

Almonds

One of the healthiest nuts, almonds are rich in proteins and healthy fats. Both protein and healthy fats combined, can help with the weight loss journey.

They are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids that can help boost the metabolism and provide your body with more energy. You can even incorporate almonds into your diet by making your own almond butter which can help to increase your protein intake easily.

However, these are just two sources of protein you can include into your diet.

Other foods include oats, chia seeds, avocado, lentils, milk, Greek yoghurt, chickpeas and fatty fishes.

If you are struggling to get a high amount of protein into your diet, experts suggest adding a good quality protein supplement, like whey protein into your diet.

This is a healthy but convenient way to boost your total intake and you can incorporate it into your day by adding it to milk or water, creating a protein shake.

Ive recently spoken to a number of people concerned about weight gain, particularly with the stress and schedule changes in recent times. With many of our past times taken away, I too have found myself indulging in more home comforts, like extra snacks or some of my favourite but less healthy dinner options.

Many of these foods tend to be sweet treats or high carb foods like bread and potatoes. Ive even started drinking more fruit juice which is way too high in fruit sugars to be considered a healthy choice.

The problem is, once I start feeding my sweet tooth, it starts to demand more and I end up in a vicious cycle of sugar cravings. Meals that are high in quick release carbs, like sugary foods, potato dishes, bread, white rice and pasta, all provide us with quick release energy. Like putting newspaper on a fire, it will burn bright, but die down rapidly.

This is how quick release carbs work, leaving us with too much sugar in the blood stream. Our body tries to manage this quickly by storing this energy, but this leads to a sudden drop in blood sugar causing us to crave something sweet again.

These blood sugar highs and lows can cause problems over time, leading to poor blood sugar regulation and weight gain around the middle.

At its worst, this middle aged spread is linked to conditions like diabetes, so if you feel youre a little pudgy around the middle and youre struggling to get that weight off, it may be worthwhile eliminating those sweet, high carb comfort foods and replacing them with high fibre, high protein meals.

Meat, fish and eggs are high in protein while beans, pulses, nuts are seeds offer plenty of protein and fibre that will slow down the release of sugars. If you do have something sweet, eat it alongside a main meal containing these foods. Bulk out your dish with extra veggies and pulses and go easy on the white rice, pasta and spuds. This will assist in keep your sugar levels stable, which should lead to better energy levels as well as weight loss, if that is your goal.

Stubborn weight, that is refusing to shift, could be the result of long term eating habits that contribute to blood sugar spikes and dips.

This includes various fad diets, many of which offer rapid results in weight loss but can be unhealthy or uncomfortable to maintain long term. Low calorie diets can lead to sugar drops that will keep you constantly hungry or lead you to seek out non nutritional ways of bringing your sugar and energy up. Caffeine in tea and coffee as well as cigarettes can give your sugars a lift, one of the reasons that ex-smokers may turn to sweets or gain weight during their first few months of quitting.

Eating excess fruit as a healthy alternative to higher calorie snacks can also cause problems. While fruit is rich in fibre and nutrients, most fruit has a high sugar content and can actually contribute to weight gain when eaten in excess.

If youre looking to lose weight by stabilising your blood sugars, be prepared to stick to this for at least a few months. Weight lost in this way can be slow, but unlike fad diets that encourage rapid weight loss, youre less likely to regain weight that has been lost slowly.

Herbs like cinnamon and fenugreek are excellent at assisting with speeding up this process. Studies have shown that cinnamon can help lower blood sugar levels and its a herb I use often for anyone looking to minimise middle aged spread. Its also delicious, making it an ideal alternative to sugar when sweetening foods like porridge and breakfast cereals.

Fenugreek slows the absorption of carbs, so I use a blend of the two herbs called Metabolic Balance, a supplement designed for supporting weight loss from around the middle. With patience, the results I get are excellent and consistent, both in improving sugar levels, energy and for slimming down. The results speak for themselves, showing me that blood sugar regulation through diet and herbs is the way to go.
