It has been reported that the par-ty’s illegal land invasion protest atGreen Fields farm in Ballito - whichthey invaded on Sunday - became in-creasingly dangerous when protest-ers moved onto the N2 and stonedpassing vehicles.

“BEAMtheseimagestotheworld”wasthe desperate plea of a Somalian shopowner to me as kwaMashu and sur-rounds erupted in xenophobic vio-lence for the fifth night running.

The looting and pillaging began inIsipingo last month,and foreignnationalsthroughout Durbanhave since come un-der increased attack,with their shops andhomes being lootedat will.

More than 2 000foreigners have been displaced, nowlocked in refugee camps for their ownsafety, while several lives have beenlost, the latest being a14-year-oldboy.

OnMondaynight, hundredsof peo-ple loitered the townships of Inanda,Ntuzuma and kwaMashu (the INKnode),many, it seemed,waiting to lootSomali-owned shops when night fell.

And in covering the chaos, the carIwas travelling inwas stonedandshotat, while police were mocked and thelooters praised as they made off withstolen goods.

Foreign shop owners, fearful fortheir livesand livelihoods,emptied thecontents of their neat stores, loadingthe goods into any vehicle theycould.

“My store was completely looted

last night, but tonight I must help mybrother,” said one owner.

INK had, according to the owners,over60storeslootedorburntinthelastfive days.

“Idon’tknowwhat Iamgoing todo.I don’t even knowwhere Iwill sleep oreatbreakfast,” said27-year-oldSoma-lian Bashir Mohamud.

Another Somalian said many ofthemweremovingtheirgoodstoacen-tral warehouse in another area.

At one scene, we saw a looter walkoffwithwhatappearedtobeawashing

machine on his shoulders, beingcheered by a crowd about 100metresfrom riot police, while they jeered andmocked the police.

The officers, while heavily armed,were helpless, stretched across the

townships in re-sponding to sporadicattacks, seeminglywithnoreal structureor leadership.

Children lined thestreetswellaftermid-night.

A shop ownercalled Solomon was attacked whilesleeping inside his shop.

“I just smelt [something] burning.My container store was struck with apetrol bomb.They tried to burnme in-side my own shop.”

As the violence spread, the foreignnationals started clearing out stores.

Itwasagameofcat-and-mouse, theforeigners being the mice, and it wasfarfromoverasviolenceeruptedintheDurban CBD yesterday.

Living in a nightmare>> Lives of hundreds of foreign nationals have been turned upside down

LOOTING has spread to Verulam,north of Durban, on Tuesdaynight, following a day of clashesbetween locals, foreigners, andpolice in thecity centre,KwaZulu-Natal police said.

“About 300 local people werelooting foreign-owned shops. Wehaverecordedonlytwoarrests fornow,” Major Thulani Zwane said.

Otherareasappearedtobequi-et on Wednesday morning.

“We are actually surprised athow quiet it is [this morning]. Wewere expectingmuchmore,” saidonepublicorderpoliceofficerwhodid not want to be named.

At least five people have beenkilled in areas around Durbanduring several days of looting andviolence against foreigners. InDurban’s CBD on Tuesday, a carwassetalightandpolice firedrub-ber bullets, stun grenades andteargas canisters in clashes be-tween looters and foreigners.

A 14-year-old boy became thelatest fatalityonMondaynight.Hewas shot dead during looting inKwaNdlanzi, allegedly by two se-curity guards. They are expectedto appear in the Ntuzuma Magis-trate’sCourtonWednesdaymorn-ing.

In the CBD,municipalworkerswere sweeping debris from Ma-hatma Gandhi Road, where for-eigners protested on Tuesday.Beggarshadreturned,businesseswere opening, and several policecarswereparkedonthesideof theroad. Some shops, however,werestill shuttered, but this was likelydue to power cuts.

Verulam councillor ChocksAr-unajallam also confirmed reportsof xenophobia in surroundingtownships and parts of the CBD.

“I was not in Verulam, but yes,therehavebeen incidents andpo-lice are now on high alert.”

GIFT of the Givers evacuatingthose affected by 'xenophobic at-tacks' Humanitarian aid groupthe Gift of the Givers worked lateinto Tuesday night in Durban tohelp move groups of foreign na-tionals to safety, after a tense dayof stand-offs between police andlocal and foreign residents.

"We are fetching people as wespeak," Dr Abdirisack Hashi toldNews24.

"We are trying to rescue somefamilies who say they are stuck ina house."'

The families would join up to7 000 people made up of "almost10differentnations"livingintentsprovided by the KwaZulu-Natalgovernment for those displacedbyviolence in theprovince,whichHashi claimed started on 29March.

Four hundred people weremoved out of KwaMashu onMon-day night after tensions flared-upand a teenager was shot dead, hesaid.

So far five people have died inthe violence, being branded asxenophobic attacks.

Two of those killed were origi-nally fromEthiopia and the policehope to be able to provide furtherdetails on Wednesday.

Atleast46peoplehavebeenar-rested.

Hashi said they had fetchedpeoplefromIsipingo,Chatsworth,Mariannhill and in Durban'sCBD.

Besides safe accommodation,their immediateneed is for ready-to-eat food, because they are notallowed to cook near the tents, heexplained.

The people rescued said theyhad been stoned, threatened andhad to be evacuated from their

homes.Asked to say whether he

thought the violence in Durbanwas xenophobia, or crime unre-lated to xenophobia, he saidwith-out hesitation: "It's xenophobicattacks".

In a statement on theirwebsiteGift of the Givers said it had beena "busy two weeks" for them.

"The shame that South Africaendured in the 2008 xenophobicattackshas reared its ugly head in2015 with an ever increasing at-tack on foreign nationals," thestatement read.

"The level of unemployment,poverty, increased cost of living,cheap foreign labour and variousother factorsareall possible caus-es of the conflict, but no matterwhat the grievances, violence isunacceptablewhether it be on fel-lowAfrican brother from the con-tinent or even on South Africansthemselves.'"

Food, blankets, sanitary pads,disposable nappies, hygienepacks and a range of other sup-plieshadbeendistributedtomanyforeign nationals already.

Anybody who wanted to do-nate items to help, or to volunteerat the camps for the displaced,could contact 0800 786 911.

Meanwhile, the DA said itwould visit the camps for thosedisplaced on Wednesday.

DA spokesperson Phumzilevan Damme, the party's KwaZu-lu-Natal leader Sizwe Mchunu,MP Dianne Kohler Barnard andZakMbhele,wouldmeetwith for-eign nationals to hear theirplight and to see if there had beenany implementation of the 2008SA Human Rights Commissionrecommendationstopreventxen-ophobic attacks.

IN the biggest initiative of its kind, Super­Sport is launching the Let’s Play Physical Ed­ucation Challenge to commemorate its 10thyear.

The challenge is a nationwide event tar­geted at 10­ and 11­year­olds from amongSouth Africa’s 18 000 primary schools.

The fittest primary school per provincewill compete for the title with the grandprize a R1,1­million all­purpose, all­weathermulti­use sport court to be built at the win­ning school.

The nine provincial winners will each re­ceive R10 000 worth of sports equipmentand a physical education package worthR40 000.

The primary objective of the challengeis to reinforce the instruction of curriculum­oriented physical education and to promotephysical activity in all schools.

Let’s Play coaching teams will target var­ious schools per day to run the physical edu­cation challenge. The fittest pupils per

school will compete, after which the top 10schools per province will qualify for the pro­vincial semi­final, leading to an overall pro­vincial winner.

The final will take place on Let’s Play’s10th birthday on 5 November.

The obstacle course challenge is de­signed to accommodate both boys and girlsand will be standardised at every competingschool. It includes football slalom dribble,catch and throw, mini hurdles, rope pull andan agility drill; all of which are completed ina matter of minutes.

While activity is the central focus of thechallenge, it will also draw attention to twomajor social issues among youngsters: dop­ing and bullying. A parallel campaign to endviolence against children will be supportedby Unicef, the children’s rights and emergen­cy relief organisation.

Former Miss SA Jo­Anne Strauss is thegoodwill ambassador and will make ap­pearances at schools to address the issue.

“Webelievethatthisisameaningfulwayto get schools involved in physical activity,particularly as government has highlightedthe need for children to become more ac­tive,” said Vaughn Bishop, head of Let’s Play.“Kids needn’t be superstars; the challengeis designed to accommodate everyone atprimary school level.”

OPINION

7

MANY foreigners come to South Africa seekingrefuge and safety. They have a right to be pro­tected and assisted.

South Africa must not forget how its own peoplesought refuge in other countries in the apartheid era,and how they were given asylum and assistance.

They were certainly not persecuted or treated as

South African government since the widespread 2008xenophobic attacks.

The so­called inter­ministerial committee estab­lished by government to address xenophobia has notbeen heard of since its inception subsequent to the2008 attacks.

There is a vacuum of condemnation of xenophobiafrom the president.

There is no clear message from government. Gov­ernment statements about xenophobia are ambigu­ous. As a result 35% of South African citizens feel thatthere is no danger to saying bad things about foreign­ers.

Government has not reprimanded or reproved KingGoodwill Zwelithini for his recent statement that for­

eigners should "pack their bags and leave" South Afri­ca.

Government has failed to restrain or impeach com­munities committing xenophobic crimes.

Why has government failed to co­ordinate a lawenforcement response that aims to arrest anyone re­sponsible for inciting violence against foreigners or de­struction of their property?

Perhaps reprimanding their voters goes againsttheir political ideology considering the upcoming localgovernment elections next year.

In the state of the nation address the presidentdowngraded foreigners when he banned them fromowning land in South Africa.

This has not been clarified to date and thus sends

a clear message to the grassroots that foreigners arenot welcome to stay in South Africa.

The demilitarization of our country’s borders after1994 was an error of government. The new govern­ment associated border military with colonialism &apartheid. The removal of proper border control mech­anisms saw literally millions of people gaining entryto South Africa illegally.

Government does not have any social policies inplace to teach South Africans about refugees, immi­grants or our country's international obligations. Gov­ernment has failed to teach its citizens to accept popu­lation diversity.

Councillor Nel SewrajACDP KZN provincial executive chairman

Party blamesgovernment forxenophobia

criminals. All foreigners cannot be accused of crimi­nal elements ­ most foreigners are law abiding per­sons who have entered South Africa legally.

Such are protected and share similar rights as citi­zens. Criminal elements may exist among some for­eigners just as much as it exists among some SouthAfrican citizens.

Foreigners cannot be accused of taking jobs fromlocals. Generally foreigners undertake jobs that citi­zens are unwilling to take.

Many foreigners become vendors on streets andtownships, an activity from which no other South Af­rican is barred.

Xenophobia tarnishes the image of South Africainternationally. Since the advent of democracySouth Africa became a beacon of hope and a modelexample for the rest of the world.

The recent attacks in Durban, Soweto and Khaye­litsha threaten foreign investor confidence and ourgrowing tourism industry.

Moreover global professionals possessing themuch­needed skills that a developing South Africarequires are reluctant to relocate to South Africa.

Xenophobia, in essence, is racist and prejudicedbehaviour. It discriminates between South Africanscitizens and citizens of other nations. It arises out ofthe perception that South Africans are superior andbetter while persons of other nationalities are sec­ond­rate.

There has been a lack of firm action from the

I WAS in Cape Town recently and couldn’t stop won­dering what leaf those students at the University ofCape Town are on.

Their reasoning is that the statue of Cecil Rhodesshould be removed from their campus because it rep­resents our colonial past and perpetuates Apartheid.

Well, the council at the UCT has since capitulatedto their pressure. I’m quite certain that the counciltook their decision just to maintain peace in the uni­versity, good decision, silence the vandals.

What is funny about this reasoning of theirs (thestudents’) is that the entire city of Cape Town, itsfoundation, is built on our much­hated colonial past,so are all our cities.

Since it’s Let­Us­Destroy­Our­Past Season, willthese people uproot the entire city of Cape Town?

Don’t laugh at me. I’m trying to follow their logic.To drive my point through, we inherited Eskom fromour previous government.

How about we destroy Eskom because it remindsus of our colonial past and Apartheid?

If their call is “transformation,” there are betterways of attaining that, resorting to barbarism isn’tone of them.

Exercise cuts injuries fromfalls in older women>> Strengthen your bones for longevity

NEW research has found thatregular exercise reduces therisk of serious injury after a

fall in older women by strengthen­ing bones.

Neither routine exercise nor vi­tamin D supplementation doesanything to lower the overall riskfor accidental falls among olderwomen, a new Finnish study says.

However, the risk of serious in­jury as a result of falling was cutby more than half when elderlywomen engaged in regular exer­cise, according to the study.

"Falls are the leading cause ofunintentional injuries and frac­tures in older adults ­ head injuriesand fractures being the most se­vere consequences," explainedstudy lead author Kirsti Uusi­Rasi,a senior researcher and adjunctprofessor with the UKK Institutefor Health Promotion Research inTampere, Finland. "Therefore,falls prevention is important whentrying to prevent injuries."

Uusi­Rasi and her colleaguesdiscuss their findings in the March23 online issue of JAMA InternalMedicine.

Vitamin D is known to help pre­serve bone health, but Uusi­Rasinoted that prior research explor­ing the relationship between vita­min D supplements and/orstrength and balance training andfall risk among seniors has beeninconclusive.

To explore the protective po­tential of both exercise and vita­min D, investigators focused onjust over 400 women between theages of 70 and 80.

The women lived at home inFinland during the study periodbetween 2010 and 2013. Nonewere deficient in vitamin D prior tothe study.

Participants were divided intofour groups: a vitamin D alonegroup; a vitamin D with exercisegroup; an exercise alone group;

and a group that neither exercisednor took vitamin D.

Those taking vitamin D weregiven a daily dosage of 800 IUs.Those who exercised did so underthe supervision of physical thera­pists in a class setting, twice aweek for the first year and once­weekly classes during the secondyear.Classesfocusedonimprovingbalance, strength, agility, move­ment, and the ability to lift weight.

The result: Over the course oftwo years the risk for falling wasfound to be more or less equalacross all groups.

Supervised physical trainingassociated with a lower risk

However, supervised physicaltraining was associated with adramatically lower risk for seriousinjury when falls did happen. Seri­ous injury was defined as experi­encing a fall that results in havingto seek medical care for bruising,abrasions, contusions, sprains,fractures and/or head injuries.

The study suggests that "exer­cise seemed to be more effectivein reducing injurious falls in thisage group," Uusi­Rasi said, "withor without vitamin D."

By contrast, vitamin D supple­ments were not linked to a lowerrisk for serious injury, whether tak­

en alone or in combination withexercise. Vitamin D supplementsdid help maintain, or even slightlyincrease bone density in certain ar­eas, according to the study.

"Exercise improves functional­ity," said Uusi­Rasi, who addedthat the women who exercisedshowed improvements not only inmuscle strength and power, butalso in mobility and balance. Suchimprovements, she theorized,might generally enable olderwomen to fall in a safer way,though her team did not specifi­cally explore that question.

Although the study didn't in­clude male participants, Uusi­Rasisaid exercise is probably equallyprotective for men. She noted thatearlier research has suggestedthat exercise has a similar benefi­cial impact across gender.

In an accompanying editorial,Dr. Erin LeBlanc, an investigatorwith the Kaiser Permanente Cen­ter for Health Research in Port­land, Ore., cautioned that the con­clusions about vitamin D may notapply to all seniors, given that theFinnish pool of subjects were allwhite females who started thestudy with optimal vitamin D lev­els.

"[It's] surprising because pre­viousstudieshavefoundthatvita­min D can prevent falling," LeB­lanc said. "But the studies have allbeen slightly different, and thesedifferences could explain the dif­ferent findings." On that score, shenoted that it's possible that thespecific vitamin D dosage offeredto the Finnish group was some­what lower than ideal.

Regardless, LeBlanc arguedthat it's too soon to rule out vita­min D as a fall preventative, giventhat it ­ and exercise ­ are both in­expensive and low­risk, and havepreviously been associated withfostering greater muscle strengthand balance. ­ Health24

Teenage sleep patterns differ from those ofadults: it's normal for teenagers to want to goto bed late and sleep late.

And while Granny sleeps lightly and forshorter periods she still needs as much deepsleep as she used to when she was younger.

Her afternoon nap is important and sheneeds more sleep at night for sufficient deeprest.

Each individual has a basal sleep need, ex-plainsDrFransHugoofthePanoramaPsychia-try and Memory Clinic in Cape Town.

Basal sleep need is the amount of sleep yourequire to rise refreshed and awake.

If this isn't satisfied a sleep debt builds up.Sleep debt is the amount of sleep you've lost.You feel and show the symptoms of sleep debtand deprivation when you're awake.

Sleep debtMost people fall asleepwithin 15 to 20min-

utes of going to bed. If you fall asleep in fewerthan seven minutes you have sleep depriva-tion, Dr Hugo says. Overworked people withsleepdebthit thebedlikeasackofpotatoesandsay they went out like a light.

Adults need between six and eight hours ofbasal sleep a night but things get complicatedwhen sleep debt starts to interfere with basalsleep need.

Amother with a young babymay finally beabletosleepthroughseveralnightsbutthepre-vious weeks' lack of sleep means she will stillbe tiredwhen shewakes up because of her ac-cumulated sleep debt.

''That's why we have to accommodate thebasal sleep need in a 24-hour cycle,'' Dr Hugosays.

The good news is researchers believe sleepdebt can be reduced - provided sleep is madeas much of a priority as eating. That's whythere's merit in the claim a mom should sleepwhen her baby does.

Not getting enough sleep can affect yourjudgement and reflexes. Studies showmedicalstudents who suffer from a shortage of sleepmake more mistakes. American scientistswarntoo littlesleephasserioushealth implica-tions.

Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depres-sion, drug abuse, learning disabilities and caraccidents are all linked to sleep deprivation.

On the other hand too much sleep (morethan 10 hours a night) can be a strong indica-tion of depression and other conditions.

Physiotherapy in the treatment offrozen shoulderFROZENshouldercausespainandstiffnessin the shoulder.

Its cause is not properly understood. Itoccurs most commonly in people betweenthe ages of 40 and 60 (women more oftenthan men).

In frozen shoulder, the shoulder capsulebecome tight. There are three stages to fro-zenshoulder.Initiallytheshoulderispainfulandstarts tobecomestiff. In the thirdstage,the pain resolves and the movement im-proves. These stages could take from sixmonths to two years.

Frozen shoulder generally gets betterover time although it may take up to threeyears. The focus of treatment is to controlpain and restore movement, strengththrough physiotherapy.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medi-cation can reduce pain and swelling. Ster-oids can be injected into the shoulder jointto control inflammation. Physiotherapyhelps to reducepain and swelling aswell asrestore movement to the joint.

This is achieved throughelectrotherapy,hands-on manual therapy techniques andan exercise programme. If the symptomsarenotrelievedbyphysiotherapyandmedi-cation, surgery may be suggested.

This could be through shoulder arthros-copy or manipulation under anaesthetic toincrease range of movement.

IF someone cuts in front of you on theroad, do you lose it completely? If yousuffer from frequent, uncontrollableoutbursts of aggression, frustrationand anger, this might just help you.

Anger can threaten your relation­ships with others, your career, your hap­piness and your physical health.

Men are particularly prone to sup­pressing anger and having to deal withthe unpleasant consequences. Studiesindicate that men with chronic anger is­sues are six times more likely to suffera heart attack by the time the reach 50.

Anger management involves theconscious effort to learn to recogniseyour feelings of aggression, identifyingtheir causes and dealing with them inhealthy ways. We have a couple of sug­gestions to help you get started:

Step awayTimeouts aren’t just for children.

Sometimes the best way to releasebuilding anger is to physically removeyourself from the situation that is caus­ingittogiveyourselfthechancetocalmdown. Tell the other person or peopleinvolved that you need a break to thinkthings over and go for a walk in the parkorensconceyourself inapeacefulspaceto listen to some relaxing music

Take a deep breathOften you can’t just walk away from

the cause of your anger, but you canslow things down and take a momentto compose yourself. Take a few slow,deep breaths and feel the soothing ef­fect as the air flows in and out of yourchest.

Take another lookIn the middle of an argument that

is threatening to drive you ballistic, getyourself to mentally step away fromyour own point of view and try to seethe issue from the other person’s per­spective.

This may help you understandwhere they’re coming from, calm youdown and assist you in finding an ami­cable solution to the infuriating prob­lem.

Spit it outAll too often we leave the unpleas­

ant business of dealing with the thingsthat make us angry until they’ve builtup to such epic levels that they can onlyend in a cataclysmic meltdown. Don’tlet things get that far.

Talk about your feelings before theyreach unmanageable levels. Speak toyour partner, a sympathetic familymember or a trusted friend.

DIABETIC Retinopathy is a complica-tion of Diabetes Mellitus in which theblood sugar is elevated causingdeteri-oration of the blood vessels of the reti-na.

As these blood vessels breakdown,itresults inleakageoffluidintothecen-tre of the retina (maculaedema) or ab-normal vessels that grow on the sur-face of the retina (neovascularization)which can pull the retina off or causebleeding and scarring.

This can result in the loss of centraland peripheral vision.

The longer someone has DiabetesMellitus, the more likely they will de-velop diabetic retinopathy. Keeping

bloodglucose levelsdowntoasnormalas possible reduces the severity of dia-betic retinopathy.

Symptoms include gradual, pro-gressive blurring of vision, sudden vi-sion loss, floaters or fluctuating vision.It is important to recognise that peoplewith advanced disease may not haveany visual changes.

It is important and mandatory thatpeople with diabetes mellitus havetheir eyes examined at least once ayear.

A complete opthalmic examinationis important in the assessment of dia-betic retinopathy and this include: vi-sion testing,drops to dilate pupils and

a complete examination of the frontand back of the eye.

Treatment modalitis include laser,intravitreal injections and surgery.People who maintain healthy, activelifestyles and who optimise theirblood sugar control, have the bestchances of slowing progression of dia-betic retinopathy andpreserving goodvision.

It is very important thatpeoplewithdiabetes mellitus undergo at least anannual eye exam whether or not theyhave any vision symptoms.

Diabetic retinopathy

CERVICAL spondylosis is a ‘wear and tear’of the vertebrae and discs in the neck. It isa normal part of ageing and does not causesymptoms in many people.

However, it is sometimes a cause of neckpain. This pain arises from the discs whichare situated between the vertebrae.

Symptoms include neck pain, pain be­tween the shoulder blades, radiating pain or‘pins and needles’ felt down the arm, neckstiffness and sometimes referred head­aches.

A physiotherapist can show a personwith cervical spondylosis how to stretch andstrengthen the neck and vertebrae, improveposture and help prevent neck pain from re­turning.

When you visit a physiotherapist, you’llfirst have a complete evaluation. The physi­otherapist will examine your neck and as­sess how well you can move your neck.

You may be asked about symptoms suchas pain in the neck or between the shoulderblades, pain that radiates down the arm tothe hand or fingers, or numbness or tinglingin the shoulder or arm. The examination willalso check your strength and reflexes.

Stretch, strengthen, and straighten upThere are several types of manipulations

and exercises your physiotherapist can useto relieve stiffness, strengthen the area, andrestore normal function of the neck. Treat­ments such as cold or heat application, pas­sive mobilisation techniques to reduce stiff­ness, improve mobility and increase range ofmotion of the vertebral joints, deep tissuemassage, electrical stimulation, and ultra­sound may be used prior to exercise.

During physiotherapy, you will practice arange of exercises to stretch and strengthenthe muscles that support your neck. You’llalso learn how to improve your posture andrange of motion. To help you learn properpostures, the physiotherapist might haveyou stand in front of a mirror while exercisingso that you can see your mistakes and cor­

rect them.Neck traction for cervical spondylosisOne technique sometimes used by physi­

otherapists to provide pain relief and im­prove motion is cervical traction. Tractiongently extends the neck opening the spacesbetween the cervical vertebrae and tempo­rarily alleviating pressure on the affecteddiscs.

Neck traction can either be done contin­uously or intermittently, alternating be­tween short periods of pulling and resting.

Cervical pillows and collars for cervicalspondylosis

Neck pillows are designed to stabilise theneck while you sleep. However, there isn’tmuch research to support the effectivenessofcervicalpillows. It’s agoodideatoaskyourphysiotherapist for a recommendation .Acervical collar may also help stabilise and re­align your spine and relieve your pain.

Feel free to contact physiotherapist Ner­usha Perumaul for a consultation and en­quire about pensioner discount rates andcash rates.

The practice is contracted to all medicalaids and also treats IOD cases.

‘Eat your greens’ theGreen Smoothie way>> Learn to be healthy the right way

WHEN it comes to smoothies, thegreener, the better! Get the low­down on the green­smoothie

trend and reap the health rewards.Even though our mothers admonished

us as children to “eat our greens”, trying tolay a healthy foundation for life, mostadults confess that it’s not that easy to getit right.

But what if there were a delicious, easyway to get all the nutritious benefits ofhealthy greens without having to chompyour way through mountains of broccoliand spinach?

Enter green smoothies – a fruitsmoothie with added leafy greens.

These smoothies taste a lot better thanthey look and contain high doses of vita­mins, minerals, enzymes and easily digest­ible proteins, all in one glass. Think combi­nations of fresh, raw, green leafy vegeta­bles such as rocket, spinach, dandeliongreens, kale, watercress, parsley, lettuce,endive, chicory, broccoli sprouts and mus­tard sprouts…

A brief historyAlthough green smoothies sound like

the latest health buzzword, they are in factnot that new. They were invented yearsago by Lithuanian holistic health practi­tioner and author Ann Wigmore, describedas a food genius by The Vegetarian Times

Magazine.Her personal experience of healing co­

lon cancer with the help of wheatgrassjuice, along with other vitamin­ and en­zyme­rich foods, resulted in her spendingthe next 35 years of her life studying andeducating others about natural healing,whole foods and optimum nutrition.

Although Wigmore died tragically in afire in 1994, aged 84, her pioneering workcontinues through the Ann Wigmore Natu­ral Health Institute and other “green­food”proponents such as Victoria Boutenko, au­thor of the international bestseller Green

smoothie revolution (North AtlanticBooks).

While Wigmore initially advocated juic­ing fruits and vegetables as a way to obtainoptimal nourishment, she later supportedthe concept of blending foods rather thanjuicing them. She believed that the rapidcleansing action of juices could be toomuch for most people’s bodies to handle.

In one of her 15 books, Wigmore com­mented that “blending helps the bodyclean itself and thus it restores healthmuch quicker than just eating the foods assalads; yet it doesn’t overtax the systemwith the rapid cleansing action of juices”.

She added that juices also don’t con­tain enough fibre and that “separating thefibre and other elements from the juice re­sults in a food that’s not as balanced asnature would have it”.

The most nutritious source of food onearth

Award­winning author Victoria Bou­tenko took up the green food cause afterher own family switched to a raw­food dietto rid themselves of numerous healthproblems.

Writing in one of her green smoothieonline blogs, Boutenko comments that“greens are the most nutritious source offood on earth”.

All creatures, she adds, consume someformofgreens–evenwhaleseatalgaeandpolar bears eat moss.

Boutenko says that, although greenshave been an essential part of the humandiet since the beginning of time, people inWestern countries have almost complete­ly stopped eating greens over the last twocenturies.

It’s a fact that many people, even thosewho follow a raw­food diet, don’t consumeenough greens.

“By drinking two or three cups of green

smoothies daily, you’ll consume enoughgreens for the day to nourish your body;and all of the beneficial nutrients will bewell assimilated,” she remarks.

According to Boutenko, some of thereasons why you should go green includethe following:

Green smoothies are extremely nutri­tious and easy to digest. The blendingprocess will rupture most of the cells infruits and greens, making it easy for thebody to absorb and assimilate the nutri­ents.

Green smoothies with a 60:40 fruit tovegetable ratio are surprisingly palatable,since the fruit flavours tend to dominate.

Smoothies are easy to make – unlikejuicing greens, which is expensive, messyand time­consuming. It’s also quick toclean up afterwards.

Incorporating green smoothies intoyour daily diet greatly reduces oil and saltconsumption.

Regularly consuming green smoothiesmakes it easier to get into the habit of in­gesting greens, which is difficult for many

people, especially children. A deliciousgreen smoothie is a sneaky way to get kidsto eat their greens.

Smoothies are a convenient way toconsume healthy nutrients on the go (e.g.at work or while travelling) as they’ll keepfor up to three days at a cool temperature.

The perfect, healthy breakfastGreen smoothies are the ideal way for

people who routinely skip breakfast to quitthis unhealthy habit.

Skipping breakfast is one of the worstthings you can do as it disrupts the body’snormal circadian rhythm of fasting andfeeding, writes nutrition expert Dr DavidLudwig of Boston’s Children’s Hospital ina Harvard newsletter.

“When you wake up, the body’s bloodglucose (needed to power muscles andbrains) is usually low, and breakfast helpsto replenish it,” Ludwig says. “However,when you miss the day’s first meal, youmay start tapping your energy reserves —including what’s stored in your muscle,” heexplains.

>> The diesel can be had with eithera five­speed manual or DSG

THE new Golf SV has just gone on salein South Africa and while it doesn’t re­place the regular Golf in any way, it

does provide a more practical alternative.It’s built on the same MQB platform but

has a more practical body that makes it83mm longer, with 48mm of that beingwithin the wheelbase. It’s also 8mm widerand 126mm taller, which all adds up to aroomier cabin and boot space is up by 120litres to 500 with the back seats in their

being 81kW/175Nm 1.2 TSI and92kW/200Nm 1.4 TSI turbopetrol optionsand an 81kW/250Nm 2­litre TDI turbodie­sel.

Both petrol engines feature idle stopand battery regeneration and are fittedwith a six­speed manual gearbox, while aseven­speed DSG dual­clutch ‘box is op­tionally available with the 1.4.

The diesel can be had with either a five­speed manual or DSG.

The 1.2 TSI model comes with the Trend­line specification grade, which brings stan­

dard amenities like 15­inch alloy wheels, airconditioning, leather­trimmed multi­func­tion steering wheel, a sound system linkedto a five­inch touch­screen, seven airbags,ESC stability control and VW’s AutomaticPost­Collision Braking System.

The Comfortline grade, which comeswith 1.4 TSI and 2.0 TDI versions, adds 16­inch alloys, automatic headlights and wip­ers, ambient interior lighting and other aes­thetic additions.
