IN EVERY ISSUEFIND YOUR FIT FRIENDOkay people, gird up your glutes, this is about the time it starts getting hard... The cold weather is creeping in and the good intentions are legging it out the door and into the night... I know, I saw mine escaping just a few short days ago. Don’t tell a soul, but even at WH HQ – arguably the most virtuous, protein-packed, yoga-panted place in the country – we feel the winter slide-off around this time of year (and the chocolate bunnies and froggies don’t help either #JustSaying).Fortunately, we’ve got a couple of tricks up our sleeves – and it all started at Fit Night Out Cape Town (more on that on page 128). I’m not about to tell you to go find a thousand of your closest friends and…2 min.

IN EVERY ISSUETell us anythingWoman-PowerLast year was one of the hardest and most rewarding years of my life. Not only was I in the final year of my chemical engineering degree, I was also working part-time as a waitress to pay for my studies. Finding the time and money to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle was a challenge, but Women’s Health helped me reach my seemingly unattainable goals. From providing fitness programmes that I could follow at home and tips and tricks on making and eating balanced meals, to facing challenges in relationships with the people I love. I truly believe that there is nothing and no one that can do more than an empowered woman.

IN EVERY ISSUEAgeless AppealI must admit that I always thought that Women’s Health magazine was meant for 20-somethings with washboard abs and perfect skin. Boy, was I wrong! Three years ago I opened this magazine and my perception changed! Women’s Health is truly meant for every single lass out there, young or old. It teaches you to be the best version of yourself. Simple. This zesty 60-year-old gran is hiking up mountains, enjoying chia breakfast bowls and practising yoga moves – all thanks to this holy grail of wellness! I am filled with so much energy and peace and I owe this all to you, my dearest Women’s Health magazine!– Geetha Singh, Durban…1 min.

IN EVERY ISSUEASK US ANYTHINGAdded fibre vs natural fibre – same benefits?ANSWER The naturally occurring kind slows digestion and allows a higher nutrient absorption – this is what keeps you fuller for longer after a meal. The two most common types of added fibre are inulin (often listed as chicory root on nutrition labels) and betaglucans (oat fibre). Studies on inulin have shown no real difference in satiety and fullness compared with food that had no fibre added, but research on beta-glucans indicates that they may come with those full-belly perks. Still, it’s always smarter to choose natural wholefoods, such as broccoli and pears, when you can. Foods with added fibre are often over-processed and contain loads of unnecessary sugar and preservatives.IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE FERTILITY ISSUES…2 min.
