TIP OF THE DAY
Your Social Blind Spots
Some great qualities may actually alienate your pals. Stay connected with these tips
1 IF YOU’RE CHARMING, BE RELIABLE, TOOCharismatic men may score lots of friends, but they lose them once they start bailing on, well, everything. “Part of being charming is paying a lot of attention to other people. But that may lead you to make commitments you can’t follow up on,” says sociologist Dr Pepper Schwartz. She suggests making good-natured wagers on your follow-through. Any time you bail, pay R50 to the affected party. By making it a game, you slowly let accountability seep into your consciousness.
2 YOUR CRITICAL EYE IS AN ASSET, BUT LEARN TO LOOK THE OTHER WAYBeing a perfectionist is great at work, but you’ll make your pals feel like Neanderthals by comparison. “You’re too particular, so you get a lot of resentment,” Schwartz says. To avoid offending, use another technique from the job world: never criticise unless you can also offer a solution. “You may see areas where your friends want to match your standards,” Schwartz says. Offer advice as an ally, not an adversary. Back down if you sense they’re not interested.
3 PLAY THE GAME, NOT YOUR FRIENDSEver feel as if your friends are fair-weather fans? They are. Your competitive nature makes you a valuable team player, but your Hulk-like temper can alarm your mates. No matter what you’re playing – pool, touch rugby, poker – avoid conflict by challenging yourself, not your friends. Schwartz recommends aiming for personal bests instead of focusing on winning. If you come up short, you take the brunt of your own wrath.
Grace Green’s Tip Of The Week:
Paper Recycling

Have a separate bin or box for paper.

High-heeled shoes are known to contribute to a host of ailments, including ankle sprains, bunions, hammertoes, knee problems, and low back pain, and researchers now say that shortened calf muscles and stiffer tendons in the calves can be added to the list. A new study shows that spending five or more days a week wearing heels at least two inches high shrinks a woman's calf muscle fibers by an average of 13% and thickens the Achilles tendon—which connects the calf muscle to the heel—by 22%. When a woman like this wears flats or walks around barefoot, the muscles and tendons are stretched, causing discomfort.

An interview with certified nutritional therapist Andrea Jenkins about better health in winter. Andrea mentioned homemade vegetable soups are perfect for winter nutrition. She also mentioned this is season for all things sugary so stay away from hot chocolates whether it be low in fat or not and unhealthy carbs. With your cereals add cinnamon as suppose to sugar it balances the blood sugar levels - no irritable moods and less sugar cravings

Lastly I played an interview I had done about how fear is fattening with Cape Town psychologist Daphne Cooper. Cooper identified several factors that play a role:
1. Our brains are wired in a very specific way that can be traced back to early times when periods of feast and famine governed our ancestors' eating patterns. "To this day, the threat of deprivation [i.e. dieting] is enough to send us into panic mode."
2. Another "problem" is that eating is pleasurable, which means that the idea of giving it up causes stress. "Going on a diet is really the worst way to
lose weight, as it makes you go into a panic state that's associated with fear, stress and anxiety."
3. Images in the media that portray the message that "stick-insect thin is beautiful" cause anxiety, as achieving the "perfect" body simply isn't possible for most of us. Then fast-food restaurants are often advertised by images of young, skinny, healthy-looking people indulging in large, unhealthy meals. The comparison between ourselves and the people in these pictures puts us in a fearful position.

4. Many of us also believe that things are the way they are and that we can't change them, also in terms of body weight. This makes us feel stuck – a situation which causes stress.
5. We also tend to put a lot of things off "until". For example, you avoid going on a date or on that beach holiday until you've
lost weight. Through this, Cooper says, we put ourselves in a very scary position, and we sometimes waste a lot of energy raging against the gap between how we believe things could be and the way things are.
6. And then, she says, we're often too hard on ourselves. Just listen to what you're saying to yourself when you stand in front of the mirror. Telling yourself that you're looking disgustingly fat in your jeans certainly isn't going to make you feel better about yourself.

DID YOU KNOW FACTS
Plants "React" and "Remember"
Scientists say that plants have the capacity to "remember" and "react" to information contained in light. They found that when just one leaf was exposed to light, the entire plant responded, in the form of light-induced chemical reactions. These reactions continued even when the plant was in the dark, demonstrating the plant's capacity to "remember" information. Furthermore, the stimulation of a chemical reaction in one leaf cell caused a cascade of events that was immediately signaled to the rest of the plant via a specific type of cell that acts as a sort of "nervous system" for the plant.

A study conducted in the midst of last year's swine flu pandemic suggests that most people fail to properly cover their coughs and sneezes. Observers stationed at a hospital, a shopping mall, and a train station found that fewer than 5 percent of coughs and sneezes were covered with a tissue, handkerchief, or elbow, as is recommended by health officials. Though nearly two-thirds of the time people coughed and sneezed into their hands—a practice that is now frowned upon because it covers the hands in germs that may then be spread to others—more than a quarter were not covered at all.
