It’s a new year! Healthy eating for a new you
After living it up over the festive season, you may feel like your mealtimes need an overhaul. Here’s how to make your healthy eating resolutions last.
PUTTING DEBT IN ITS PLACE
Do you sometimes find at mid-month, salary is spent, but groceries need to be bought? Then it’s time to get to grips with why you overspend and figure out how to get a handle on your finances.
Lights, Camera, Budget
Lights, Camera, Budget! An online game designed to help middle and high school students learn, study, and review financial literacy topics while also practicing their budgeting skills. In the game, students are positioned as movie producers who have been given $100 million to produce a movie. To get the movie produced, they must prove they have good personal finance skills to keep their budget on track.
Keep those resolutions going
The new year is an excellent time to make resolutions for a healthier lifestyle — but by the end of the first week of January, even the best intentions may start to dwindle. If that sounds like you, how about this for a bit of motivation to help you stick to them? Including just 5 lifestyle behaviours can improve your longevity by an extra 14 years. These same healthy habits can also reduce your cancer risk by a third.
Combatting HIV/Aids starts with open conversations
World AIDS Day 2022: Keep talking
A wise man once said, “All truths that are kept silent become poisonous.” Never has this been truer than on the subject of HIV/Aids. Today we have excellent treatment options allowing people diagnosed with HIV to live long, happy, healthy lives, and yet the fear lingers on and people stay silent.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), nearly a million people still die every year from the virus because they don’t know they have HIV and are not on treatment, or they start treatment late.
Sign up for a stress-free festive season
This is a wonderful time to be with family, have a break, and enjoy tasty food and good company. But somehow things often end up less jolly and more ‘just-let-it-be-January.’
Why is this time of year so often accompanied by skyrocketing stress, anxiety and exhaustion? For one, we can feel overwhelmed with the extra social engagements. Plus, at big gatherings we might have to face people with whom we don’t necessarily see ‘eye-to-eye.’ It’s also easy to overindulge and spend money as if we’ve won the lottery (knowing full well our accounts are redder than Rudolph the Reindeer’s nose).
