Nedbank
Onsite Nutritional Screening was provided to Nedbank employees in the atrium. Common stress-related lifestyle habits and nutrition impact on salivary pH and body mass index (BMI) readings, and in turn, impact on the risk of developing lifestyle diseases, which, once progressed, require medical intervention, of which the cost implications can be significant. Prevention remains better than cure.
New research claims that drinking green tea before a gym session can help burn more body fat.
Green tea has been hailed for its ability to speed up oxidation, which is the rate at which fat is broken down.
The study found that fat oxidation rates were 17% higher in the green tea consumers versus the group that took placebos in a capsule form.

What’s in a kilojoule?
Kilojoules and calories mean the same thing: they measure the energy content of food and give an indication of en-ergy requirements of an indi-vidual’s body.
1 calorie (cal.) = 4.2 kilojoules (kJ).
South Africans predominantly use the term kilojoules.
How to brew green tea Never use boiling water, as some of the effects of green tea will be lost. Brew green tea leaves at a tempera-ture of between 80—90 degrees.
The psychological symptoms of stress include insomnia, depression, loss of interest, uncontrolled crying, anxiety and a feeling that “something is wrong”.
The physical symptoms of stress include chronic headaches, backache, hypertension, heartburn and mental illnesses.
Stress can be treated, using a combination of medi-cal, psychological and/or support-group approaches. From a dietary perspective, learn to control your blood sugar levels by means of eating low glycaemic load (GL) foods, eating regularly and avoiding overly-refined, sugary foods. Invest in a good vitamin-and-mineral supplement, in addition to using a good vitamin B-complex supplement.
