Leading a busy lifestyle and increasing demands from all sides of life can easily cause an imbalance in our lives, which in turn is exacerbated by unhealthy eating and stress. This results in symptoms such as obesity, sleeplessness, tiredness, constant headaches and lack of concentration. It is important for us to maintain a balanced lifestyle with a clear mind, healthy body and positive mental attitude.

So with the above in mind her journey towards wellbeing started. Tannie Evita had weekend responsibilities back in Darling, which meant that we had to plan her programme to fit her busy schedule in the outside world, but also allow

enough time for relaxation (and the odd changing of a flat tire) before dashing off on business.
Two weeks of lifestyle consultations, slimming and toning treatments, exercise programmes, massages, hydrotherapy, healthy eating programmes – just to name a few, formed part of Evita’s body make-over. On weekends she had to stick to the routine and continue to follow her fruit diet.
“Difficult? Of course, the first few times you feel like saying yes please for a fresh Koeksister, but once you get into the habit the temptations melts away.”  “It was all worth it my dear” she said, “Every time I felt like cheating I picked up a 5 kilo pack of Maize to remind me that I do not want this weight back on me.”

The routine paid off with a loss of over 10 kilograms, a glowing complexion and an even sharper sense of humour. We like to think The Hydro had something to do with it, but why not read all about it and share Tannie Evita’s health holiday memories appearing in Sarie’s January 2008 edition - now available in stores.
To help us celebrate a great 2008 this edition of Sarie is running a lucky draw with prizes worth R32 000. Readers can also take advantage of discounts valid until 10 June 2008 so make sure you don’t miss the bus.
