HEALTHY SCHOOL LUNCH IDEAS WHAT TO PACK?

You are in control of what your kids eat and as a parent, you have to keep pushing for healthy school lunches to balance the scales. Taking your child’s diet into your own hands will raise sensible eaters and they will, one day, thank you for it.

We suggest looking into lunch boxes with compartments to offer some healthy snacks to go with a lunch time sandwich. These can range from apple slices, carrot sticks, cheese cubes, smaller size fruits, nuts, crackers or even healthy muffins.

DEVELOPING A Growth Mindset

Having a growth mindset is extremely important to improving your lifestyle / work performance. When an individual has a “growth mindset” it means that they believe that their qualities and traits can be developed and improved over time.

It can take time to break through old habits when you are learning something new. Try to see your mistakes and your errors as learning opportunities rather than being hard on yourself. You will have to be honest with yourself, your weaknesses, when you encounter challenges or obstacles, try to see them as growth opportunities rather than something that makes you bounce off the project, task or challenge altogether.

Adopting a growth mindset can radically change your career, your academic life, and your life in general. It is an outlook that allows you to become who you want to be rather than settling for a life that you don’t find fulfilling.

SOFT TISSUE FILLERS

This skin Feature was rendered by Dr Raj Singh, educating the community on skin disease. He is available for a consultation at his, Scottsville branch in Pietermaritzburg or at his Durban branch.

Soft tissue fillers are flexible substances that can be injected into the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, repair various facial imperfections, improve scars and elevate deep folds. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal “downtime” and maximum safety.

Dermatologists use a variety of soft tissue fillers, including human and bovine (cattle) collagen, hyaluronic acid, autologous fat (one’s own fat), and donor tissue. The growing number of available fillers has greatly expanded the anti-aging and skin-saving treatments that dermatologists offer. Since filler substances do not involve major surgery and are generally cost-effective, men and woman are using these youth-enhancing techniques more than ever.

WHAT CAN SOFT TISSUE FILLERS DO?

The aging process generally causes a loss of volume as the underlying collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin fibers begin to deteriorate and fat stores in the face decrease.

This most commonly occurs around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, jaw line, brow, and bridge of the nose, producing crow’s feet, laugh lines, folds and furrows of the forehead, and “ hills and valley” on the lower third of the face. Soft tissue fillers have the unique ability to fill and contour these changes. Fillers can be placed into the lips to create a fuller, more youthful look, or in the hollows of the cheeks to reduce a gaunt appearance. Facial scarring from acne or injury also responds well to soft tissue filler techniques.

HOW DO SOFT TISSUE FILLERS WORK?

By insertion into the skin as strips, threads, or hollow tubes, these substances also can form the foundation into which other injectable fillers may be added. BOTULINUM TOXIN- while technically not a filler, very tiny amounts of BOTULINUM TOXIN are injected into specific facial muscles to immobilize or relax the underlying cause of lines and wrinkles. It is commonly used to improve forehead creases, furrows between the eyebrows, and crow’s feet. Using BOTULINUM TOXIN and fillers in the same area may achieve longer-lasting results.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE

19TH - 25TH JANUARY 2023

Spreading the Light of the Vedas

For a full and detailed horoscope for 2022, email punditroshan@telkomsa.net

Aries

You tend to seek more interaction than usual today, dear Aries, and you’re more emotionally invested in your heartfelt pursuits. The Moon’s opposition to Saturn can point to some blocks standing in the way of enjoyment, and these can relate to your responsibilities to others or the demands of your friends or networks. You may need to draw some lines so you can have more time to detox and enjoy yourself.

Taurus

You could feel a little off or sensitive to a lack of support today, dear Taurus, with the Moon opposite Saturn. Try not to look outside of yourself for answers today. Instead, give yourself more time to get in touch with your intuition. Mercury will turn retrograde tomorrow, and in the coming weeks, you may have some waiting or rethinking to do.

Gemini

There can be some problems getting your message across right now, dear Gemini, with the Moon opposite Saturn in your communication sectors and Mercury about to turn retrograde. Take a little more care than usual to make yourself exceptionally clear, or consider waiting to present your case for a better time.

Cancer

Money or power dynamics can be tricky today, dear Cancer, and you could find that you need more time to yourself. If you’ve been too focused on supporting others, getting to a better balance should be a priority today. Mercury is heading into a station as it turns retrograde early tomorrow.

Leo

The Moon in your sign opposes Saturn today, dear Leo, and the minor hurdles that you face can force small changes and refinements that will help you out in the long run. Listen to your feelings and interpret them, but watch for a tendency to dwell on problem areas.

Virgo

You might worry about a past poor choice or mistake and take it too seriously today, dear Virgo, with the Moon opposite Saturn. You could begin the day preferring some quiet or anonymity. However, once the Moon enters your sign later today, your need for emotional connectedness emerges. You’re more inclined to follow your feelings.

Libra

It may not be easy to settle on a special activity today, dear Libra, but it’s best to aim to rest your mind. Later today, the Moon heads into your privacy sector for a stay of over two days, and it’s time to digest, process, and decompress. Better times to observe than jump into decisions. There can be some fuzziness, confusing directions, or key missing information today and tomorrow.

Scorpio

With the Moon opposite Saturn today, dear Scorpio, your attention turns to pressing matters. Responsibilities in your personal or home life can draw you in, and you can feel pulled in different directions, making finding a balance a priority. Early tomorrow, and you might be giving off the wrong signals, or others don’t interpret the right signals correctly for the time being.

Sagittarius

Indecision can be a good thing today if it keeps you from making choices you don’t wholly own, dear Sagittarius. The general tendency is to be in limbo, but it shouldn’t detract from the positive potential of the day for reflection and emotional refreshment.

Capricorn

You could be exploring your feelings instead of dismissing them or tucking them away, dear Capricorn. Needs you’ve neglected deserve extra attention. This profound focus on your feelings and desires can clash with your urge to take care of business today. Complicated emotions can interfere with your productivity when keeping things straightforward tends to serve your practical purposes better.

Aquarius

You may not feel wholly understood today, dear Aquarius, with Saturn in your sign opposing the Moon today. However, if you let that go and work on what matters most, you’ll be in good shape. Try not to allow personal blocks to interfere with your enjoyment of companionship.

Pisces

You’re more likely to notice the minor problems in your life today, dear Pisces, with the Moon in your work sector opposite Saturn. Ideally, you’re motivated to care for essential matters and iron out differences. However, if you’re feeling a little off, you can be inclined to fret and worry.
