Many working people dream of winning the Lotto bec

Many working people dream of winning the Lotto because of the greater freedom it will bring, but for retirees, the reality of a ‘permanent holiday’ soon loses its appeal. There are several reasons for this …

Retirement needs to be seen as a time of new possibilities, rather than a decline in your old way of life. Your outlook will influence the quality of your retirement. A positive mindset and the willingness to seek out and embrace opportunities can help make retirement more fulfilling.

BE TECHNO-WISE
Do not assume you cannot master useful technology. Social media apps such as Facebook are great for keeping up with friends and family and finding stimulating content. Get a grandchild or techno-savvy friend to teach you – don’t let fear stop you from embracing our changing world.

FIGHT ISOLATION
Make dates with former colleagues, spend time with existing friends and identify ways to meet new people, such as through a social club. Accept invitations when they come your way.

KEEP IT MEANINGFUL
Offer to mentor someone in your professional field, teach someone a new skill or volunteer in your community.

@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dog

@jadeleeashford has been rescuing and rehoming dogs for almost a decade, but it wasn’t until a near-death experience that she realised her purpose; quit her job and build the ultimate doggie destination.

Every year, thousands of precious dogs lose their homes and their lives. Jade Ashford’s mission … to rescue as many as she can, give them shelter, full tummies, show them compassion and respect, and most importantly fill their lives with love. She’s also dedicated her life to proving that rescue dogs are hidden treasures waiting to shine.

“I bought a small holding in Botha’s Hill and started with two puppy areas and one member of staff. Soon afterwards, along with six other dedicated animal lovers, we were heading to a small fishing town in the Northern Cape, where we were faced with hundreds of homeless dogs, no local animal shelters and the closest SPCA was 150kms away.”

Jade returned with 53 dogs and pups and felt confident they’d be able to rehome them fairly quickly. But the riots and floods that followed in 2022, dashed those hopes. With so many homes damaged, people were giving up their dogs and Jade’s little rescue centre grew overnight.

Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness W $Finding relief for strains, sprains & stiffness We all know exercising is essential for our well-being. But those workouts or walks, runs or cycles sometimes bring on the aches and pains. Strains and sprains, stiffness and soreness ... which can range from being uncomfortable to being completely debilitating. Biokineticist Kevin Oliver tells us more about sports injuries and helps us understand inflammation, which is the body's natural response to injury or trauma, and many sports injuries - including sprains, strains, fractures, and tendonitis - involve inflammation, characterised by swelling, pain, heat, redness, and loss of function. Read what he has to say here - https://shorturl.at/oAKT2 Managing inflammation is essential to avoid a prolonged or chronic inflammatory state, to reduce pain and restore functionality. Conventional treatments may include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid medications. However, many people pursuing healthy lifestyles prefer natural and holistic solutions that are free from side-effects. If you prefer to go the natural route, there are plenty of plants with anti-inflammatory properties - peppermint, rosemary, ginger and eucalyptus are a few. The Aromatic Apothecary Sport range includes roll-on, spray on and rub-on products that can be frequently applied on-the-go and provide quick relief throughout the day. The Sport Roll-on Relief is gel-based, and the roll-on applicator not only delivers active ingredients that are quickly absorbed into the sore muscle or joint, but it’s also a mini-massage. The Sport Spray-on Relief is a water-based solution, so perfect for larger, sore areas, such as an entire foot or shoulder, with no massage necessary so no sticky or oily hands. And the Sport Rub-on Relief is an easily absorbed cream that needs just a brief rub into sore muscles and joints for targeted relief. There’s also a massage oil, and the magnificently effective Sport Mustard Milk Soak Bath Crystals.

Proper nutrition for cats and dogs is essential to

Proper nutrition for cats and dogs is essential to their health and well-being. By understanding their needs, providing balanced diets, and following veterinary advice, you can ensure your pets thrive at every stage of life.

MACRONUTRIENTS
Both cats and dogs need macronutrients such as protein, fat and carbohydrates in their diet. Protein is particularly important for both species, as it provides essential amino acids that are necessary for various physiological functions. Good sources of protein for cats and dogs include meat, fish and eggs.

COMMERCIAL PET FOOD
There are many commercial pet foods available for both cats and dogs, including dry kibble, wet food and raw diets. When choosing a commercial pet food, it’s important to look for products that are endorsed or approved by pet nutritionists and vets.

OBESITY PREVENTION
Maintaining a healthy weight is important for the health and longevity of cats and dogs. Overfeeding or give your pet too many high-calorie treats can contribute to obesity. It’s important to monitor their body condition and adjust their diet and exercise routine accordingly.
