Is Your Body Really Programmed to Be a Certain Weight?

You Need Posted on by

Is there any truth to the idea that your body weight has a “set point” it likes to function at? We asked a doctor to weigh in.

The set point theory is the idea that the body has a preprogrammed weight that it likes to be at to function efficiently. And there is scientific evidence that suggests there is some truth to this; the body uses a variety of metabolic and hormonal mechanisms—like slowing down metabolism when you cut your calorie intake, for instance—to maintain its weight when you try to slim down.

So does this mean that trying to lose weight below your “set point” is futile, since your body will try to fight it and always win? No, weight management is more complicated than that. Many parameters control weight, including genetics, but so do external factors, like stress and your eating behaviors. Plenty of people slim down and settle at a lower weight permanently—but you should follow a safe, gradual weightloss plan so that your body can adapt over time. (Plus, you’ll be more likely to keep the pounds off in the long term if you take on sustainable healthy eating habits.) Crash dieting (like restricting your calories too intensely) can cause your body to try to hold on to fat so it stays at its happy weight—don’t try it.

28 February 2018 – SARS pays over R205-Billion in refunds

You Need Posted on by

Pretoria, Wednesday 28 February 2018 –The South African Revenue (SARS) has paid over R205-billion in refunds across all tax types in the past 10 and a half months.

The amount of R205-billion paid in refunds is more than the total budget allocated for defence, public order and safety in 2017, which amounted to R198.7-billion.

This massive R205-billion payout to individuals and companies, from the beginning of the financial year on 1 April 2017 to 9 February 2018, represents a significant boost to the economy given the current economic climate.

The R205-billion paid out by SARS can be broken down as follows:

  • Value-added tax (VAT): An amount of R170.2 billion has been paid so far this year. This is a 6% increase compared to R160.6 billion paid last year at the same time.

  • Personal income tax (PIT): An amount of R24.1-billion has been paid so far this year. This is a 16% increase compared to the R20.7 billion paid last year at the same time.

  • Company income tax (CIT): An amount of R11.4 billion has been paid so far this year. This is a 5% increase compared to the R10.9 billion paid last year at the same time.

It must be noted that there has been an increase in refund pay-outs across all tax types in the last three years.

VAT refund payments increased from R162.1 billion in 2014/15 to R167.1 billion in 2015/16 and R181.5 billion in 2016/17.

PIT refund payments increased from R20.5 billion in 2014/2015 to R20.8 billion in 2015/2016 and R23-billion in 2016/2017.

CIT refund payments totalled R10.8 billion in both the 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 financial years. It increased to R13 billion in the 2016/2017 year.

While SARS takes great care in paying legitimate refunds to compliant taxpayers it also has the responsibility to clamp down on fraudulent claims.

Since the beginning of the current financial year on 1 April 2017, SARS has stopped refund fraud across all tax types of more than R28-billion.

eNCA | ‘Lion whisperer’ devastated after woman mauled by lioness

You Need Posted on by

JOHANNESBURG – South Africa’s lion whisperer Kevin Richardson said he was devastated at the death of a 22-year-old woman who was mauled to death by a lioness at a game lodge north of Pretoria.

In a post on Wednesday — shared on his website and social media sites Instagram and Facebook — Richardson said he was “deeply saddened and shocked” by the death of the woman on Tuesday, at their tented camp in the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve.

“Our condolences and heartfelt sympathies go out to her family at this very difficult time,” he wrote.

Richardson said he and an experienced colleague took three lions for a walk in the reserve — as they do on a weekly basis — as part of their exercise and stimulation regiment.

“We assessed the landscape for other Big Five animals and as per procedure sent out a notification that we were walking in the reserve.

“One of the lionesses charged off after an Impala and must have run 2 to 2.5km where she encountered the 22-year-old outside the car,” he said.

Richardson said the woman was not a guest at the camp, but had accompanied her friend to conduct an interview for an assignment with the camp’s manager.

He said before leaving the reserve, the two visitors were taking photographs outside the tented camp where the attack occurred.

“I am devastated and my heart goes out to this young woman’s family.”

The Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve was not immediately available for comment.
