Technology has made life easier in many ways. It’s also made life busier, faster and more demanding, leaving very little time for a healthy lifestyle.
Ironically, however, it’s the times when we’re most stressed and overworked that our bodies most need exercise and good nutrition.
Here are 5 tips to help keep you healthy despite your busy lifestyle:
1. Prep meals: As unappealing as it is to have yet another chore on your schedule, preparing food ahead of time can save you lots of time and hunger pangs. Try to cook a few different items over the weekend, and divide it into different containers to grab and go during the week. Keep snacks like nuts, biltong and fruit in portioned-out bags as well.
2. Write a menu: Take 20 minutes to write out a menu with quick meals you would like to eat during the week. This means that when you shop for food, you buy what you need, and when it’s time to make dinner you already know what you’re making and have what you need.
3. Remember breakfast: A balanced and nutritious breakfast will set you up for the rest of your day and give you energy and keep your sugar levels stable. Opt for smoothies packed with fresh fruit and even some veggies, or even overnight oats made the night before if you’re short on time.
4. Eat and meet: Try to plan your meetings over lunch with clients or staff to make sure you eat at lunchtime. Even better, arrange to walk to the restaurant to get some fresh air and exercise. Avoid eating while you work at your desk, as the temptation to snack mindlessly and overeat is too great.
5. Keep hydrated: Keep a bottle of water on your desk and sip it throughout the day. Refill your bottle at the furthest water fountain for a short break and walk. Limit sugary energy or carbonated drinks, as these will cause your blood sugar levels to spike and then crash, leaving you feeling lethargic and unproductive. They also add unnecessary calories to your diet – and if you are sitting at your desk most of the day, you won’t be burning those extra calories.

Johannesburg – Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa says there are no divisions among the more than 3 000 delegates attending the ANC’s six-day national policy conference at Nasrec, south of Johannesburg.
“The delegates are in good spirit, there’s unity of purpose and there aren’t divisions as many people would have suspected,” Ramaphosa told reporters during an exhibition of small business walk-about at the Nasrec Expo Centre on Sunday.
The conference is a gathering of about 3 500 delegates from branches across the country to discuss the party’s policies going into the elective conference in December where changes and new policies will be ratified.
The first two days of the conference, which began on Friday, were spent looking into a diagnostic report into the state it was in.
The report was presented to the plenary on Friday night by Secretary General Gwede Mantashe, who told reporters on Saturday that there had been attempts made by some members of the plenary not to allow him to present it to the gathering. After some discussion, it was agreed that the report would be read out and placed into the record.
It was believed that those who raised issues with having the report read out were from the Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal branches.
Earlier that day, minutes before President Jacob Zuma was set to give his opening address, members from Mpumalanga, KZN, Free State, Limpopo, North West and the Women’s League took part in a “sing-off” with delegates from the Eastern Cape.
This was after Eastern Cape delegates began singing songs calling for a change in leadership and using the substitution gesture. The battle took place in front of the podium where Zuma was set to address the gathering.
The other, much larger group eventually overpowered them and pushed the Eastern Cape group back to their seats, singing songs praising the leader.
The conference got underway amid divisions over a fiercely contested leadership race between Ramaphosa and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma.
Mantashe had told reporters previously that divisive songs which aimed at hurting certain leaders or appeared to be launching a campaign for others, would not be allowed.
‘Enriching process’
However, despite this, Ramaphosa insists that the conference had not been divisive.
“The first two days have been a really enriching process,” he said.
“This is the ANC at its best, when it looks at itself in a very critical manner and begins a journey of self-correction, of healing, of renewal and this conference is giving us that great opportunity.”
He said all the delegates were on the same page about trying to look at ways in which it could deepen unity within the ANC.
When it came to the ideas and proposals of policies, he said the objective was not to be self-centered.
“We are not just representing ourselves and we are not crafting policies for ourselves but crafting policies that are going to guide the whole country as we move forward.”
Heated debates by the party’s factions were expected to take place over the definition of radical economic transformation, whether the domination of capital should be racially defined, the expropriation of land and whether the country’s, as well as the party’s Constitutions, needed to be amended.
Ramaphosa said the leaders of the party had come to the conference specifically to listen to the sentiment from the branches and the people on the ground.
“What we are doing here is a deep and overarching process of guiding society, of guiding us in government,” he said.
“The process of looking at policies has been bottom-up rather than top-down. This is a conference of branches, this is when branches have a voice [and] put forward their own views.
“And so as the leadership we are here to listen [and to] imbibe what our branch delegates are saying.
“The branch delegates are well armed by the experience of our people, by the poverty that our people are going through, the unemployment and the inequality. So everyone who is here is coming forward with ideas of how we can address these many challenges that our country and our people are facing.”
The conference continues on Monday and ends on Wednesday.
Johannesburg – ANC Gauteng chairperson Paul Mashatile has described a DA-sponsored advert, which has the words “ANC policy, proudly made in Dubai”, as an insult.
The advert was published on Sunday during the governing party’s national policy conference, held at Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg.
Speaking to News24, Mashatile described the advert as an insult to the hundreds of ANC members who were genuinely dealing with the issues affecting this country.
The DA’s national spokesperson Phumzile van Damme said the advert served as a message to South Africans that the country had been sold to the highest bidder, which was, in their opinion, the Gupta family.
“While the ANC puts up a front of consulting about the policy direction of the party, the truth of the matter is that it has sold South Africa to the highest bidder – the Guptas are the de facto rulers of both the ANC and the country,” Van Damme said.
She said South Africa needed to hit the reset button and realise that the governing party was “well and truly dead”.
The advert, which was published in a Sunday publication, appeared on the third day of the ANC’s six-day policy conference.
Heated debates were expected at the conference, with the party’s factions arguing over the definition of radical economic transformation and whether the domination of capital should be racially defined.
State capture
The party had spent the first two days of the conference assessing the “health” of the party after being rocked by several scandals, which include declining electoral support and calls for President Jacob Zuma to step down.
Following a number of court cases, marches by members of the public, as well as the recent release of emails linking certain government officials to the controversial Gupta family, Secretary General Gwede Mantashe told reporters that the issue of state capture would be discussed “candidly”.
City Press has previously reported that an email trail between the controversial Gupta family and their employees has blown the lid off how they had managed to do business with the government. The trail also revealed how the family ingratiated themselves with senior government officials, and go so far as to help move Zuma and his family to Dubai.
The publication also confirmed the address, an opulent mansion valued at R330m, which is owned by the controversial family. The palatial home is based in Dubai’s most expensive neighbourhood and is said to have had the most expensive asking price of any home in the entire United Arab Emirates at some point.
The information was revealed in the tranche of emails which implicated Zuma, his son and the family’s business partner Duduzane Zuma, as well as a number of ministers and heads of state-owned entities.

Mashatile insisted that only a few members of the party were perpetuating an image that the party was captured by the family, saying the ANC needed to deal with it quickly.
“There are a few people within our ranks who are creating this impression and the ANC leadership must move fast to deal with it. “There are no Guptas at this conference, we are not influenced by them, they are not being represented here.
“These are genuine members of the ANC from branches who are concerned by issues of state capture and the supposed influence of the Guptas. It’s not many members of the ANC who are creating this storm, it’s a few, and the ANC must deal with them.”
