If winter weather has you stuck indoors—and burning fewer calories—these are the best foods to hold you over until you can ramp up your workouts again.
There is always an offseason in training when athletes can find themselves a few pounds heavier than they prefer. First, remember to match your caloric intake with your energy expenditure. During the offseason, try to make sure your diet consists of a better balance of foods, and use this time as an opportunity to try new foods. I recommend the color “green” as a definite go-to for better health. Check out the top seven foods to eat during the offseason.
Kale
If you have not jumped on the kale bandwagon yet, this is a great time to do so. Whether you eat it sautéed, in a soup, salad or as baked chips, this vegetable is loaded with iron, vitamins A, C, Bs, calcium and iron. It’s also packed with fiber and antioxidants, and there are only 34 calories in 1 cup of kale.

Avocados
Avocados are nutrient-dense fruits—they pack 20 vitamins and minerals into a creamy, versatile package. In addition to fiber, avocados contain monounsaturated fatty acids that are great for your heart. Use avocado in place of mayo on a sandwich, throw it in a shake, find an easy soup recipe (hot or cold), or just eat it right out of its skin.

Edamame
Edamame are soybeans in the pods that are picked before they mature. Appearing often as an appetizer in Japanese restaurants, they can be found in just about every frozen food aisle. They’re easy to cook, mildly flavored, and are packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, essential fatty acids and protein. You can also find them freeze dried for grab-and-go snacking. Mix edamame with chickpeas when making hummus for a healthy, protein-rich snack.
Green Tea
A surge in research touting the health benefits of green tea has been published over the last decade. Considered a wonderful antioxidant that helps with blood flow, heart health, cholesterol, and improving immune function and preventing cell damage, green tea contains the amino acid theanine (sometimes referred to as L-theanine), which can help you remain calm and focused. Dr. Dean Ornish recommends drinking it every day.

Spinach
Spinach is not just for Popeye. Whether you eat it sautéed or in a salad, this green leafy vegetable is another powerhouse of vitamins, minerals and fiber—all for only 7 calories per cup. Yes, you read that right, 7 calories.
Broccoli
Broccoli is another green food that is great raw or cooked. Filled with vitamins K, C, A and Bs, it also contains folate, fiber and potassium. Try dicing it up into small pieces and eating it with your other salad accompaniments or throwing it into soups.
Kiwi
This small fruit is filled with vitamins A, C and E and has as much potassium as a banana. Kiwi seeds contain alpha linoleic acid, which is an omega-3 fatty acid that repairs tissues and helps fight inflammation.

Offseason Fuel Tip: Watch Your Alcohol Consumption
You may find that you consume more alcohol when you are not training. There are 7 calories per gram in alcohol—this is closest to fat calories. So to help your body stay well nourished and ready for training, consume alcohol in moderation.

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) has welcomed the government’s decision to pull the South African ambassador from Israel, following the death of close to 60 Palestinians by Israeli armed forces.
The party has also called on the Israeli ambassador in South Africa to leave.
It was reported earlier on Tuesday that Gaza health officials said the Palestinian death toll stood at 58, which includes 57 people killed by Israeli fire and a baby who died from tear gas inhalation.

Labelling Israel a racist aggression on Palestine, the EFF lashed out at governments that associated with Israel.
“To this day, many freedom-loving governments of the world have associated with Israel, despite its racist policies on Palestine. As a result, Israel has not only hardened its oppression on Palestinians, [but] it has expanded its occupation in the West Bank, through forceful removals of Palestinians from their lands.”
The party said South Africa “must expel Israel’s ambassadors with immediate effect” until Israel ends its illegal occupation of Palestine.
‘International isolation of Israel’
The EFF added that the South African government was a key beneficiary of international boycotts and “must take the lead”.
“The expulsion of the Israeli mission must form part of the first move towards an international isolation of Israel by the whole world. The boycotts and isolation of Israel by the world is the most efficient, and yet peaceful way, of forcing the apartheid Israeli government to respect human rights of Palestinians.”
Earlier, Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco) spokesperson Ndivhuwo Mabaya said the South African government had taken a decision to recall ambassador Sisa Ngombane from Israel “with immediate effect”.

Mabaya said the attack on Palestinians also resulted in scores of citizens reportedly injured.
He said the government condemned “in the strongest terms possible, the latest act of violent aggression carried out by Israeli armed forces along the Gaza border”.
Mabaya said South Africa reiterated its view that the Israeli defence force “must withdraw from the Gaza Strip and bring to an end the violent and destructive incursions into Palestinian territories”.

Can land and agriculture be the silver bullet that lifts South Africans out of poverty? And how does the agriculture sector help tackle the increasing decay of rural towns?
These were the big questions a panel of experts and business leaders in agriculture tackled at the opening of this year’s Nation in Conversation series at Nampo Harvest Day, South Africa’s biggest annual agriculture fair.
“Agricultural production only makes up 2.5% of the GDP. If you want to solve poverty through agriculture, you’re going to have problems,” said Tommie van Zyl, CEO of ZZ2.
The ability of land ownership to allow poor South Africans to accumulate wealth can, however, not be disputed, the experts agreed.
“Black people in rural parts of the country have for generations lived without the ability to generate wealth,” said Vito Rugani, who started a small vegetable farm 26 years ago and grew it into Greenway Farms, which is one of South Africa’s largest carrot producers today.
“Imagine what people could do if they could sell their land to buy a house and get a bond on that house to educate their children?”

While South Africa’s income inequality is said to be the highest in the world with a Gini coefficient (measure of income inequality) of 0.7, the wealth inequality when calculated comes in at 0.9 – even higher.
“We have to be more nuanced when discussing inequality. Incomes change, but wealth creates its own income over time. Without it, inequality is entrenched over generations,” said political analyst Nompumelelo Rundi.
‘Focus on the education of young people’
Rundi believes the answer lies in education.
“The fact that 60% of the youth have never held a job and, when you look at the poor social mobility between generations, it tells us that the problem is structural. There is the inability of the economy to grow and create jobs. We will have to focus on the education of young people.”
According to political analyst and author Prince Mashele, it is worthwhile to look at history to see how, first the British in South Africa and later the Afrikaners, solved the problem of poverty among their people.

He pointed out three tools the respective governments used to create wealth for their people, namely the state, private enterprise in either the mines of factories, and education.
“If the blacks want to solve poverty they must use the same tools. The state must back its people. Black people haven’t built factories. They just got sucked into the boardrooms of white people in the name of BEE,” he said.
“Black people have been abandoned by their own people. The reason why the Afrikaners could solve their problem of poverty is because the elite didn’t separate itself from the people. The black government is so corrupt, they only take care of themselves.”
Political analyst Mpumelelo Mkhabela said that the government of today was in an even better position to empower black people, because of the free and open society, and abundance of resources and skills it could draw from. It hasn’t, however, up to now, done this properly.
“Freedom is the ability to amass wealth. If political freedom doesn’t end with the ability to amass wealth, it’s not worth it,” said Rugani.
