Getting to the Heart of Men’s HealthDid you know?• Heart disease affects one in three men and is the
leading cause of death in men.• Women outlive men. On average, men die five years before their spouse.
The statistics seem grim indeed, but are preventable.We look at five ways to reduce the risk of heart diseaseCheck your blood pressure. Hypertension is known as the silent killer and often men are unaware of it because they rarely visit a doctor. Hypertension is a leading factor in cardiovascular disease and strokes.Quit smoking. Enough said. We all know that smoking increases one’s risk for just about every disease out there!Lose weight. Again, nothing new here. We all know that an expanding waistline leads to heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and many other health problems.
Manage your stress. Stress is the underlying cause of many of today’s illnesses and diseases. The old saying, “Hard work never killed anyone” is a lie! Stress goes hand in hand with working too much or consistently working long hours and as result can lead to a myriad of health problems.Make small changes to your diet. Oats, almonds, blueberries and even dark chocolate and that glass of red wine all make the heart merry!So dads, if you want to be around long enough to be there for your kids and see your grandchildren, start taking better care of yourself from today!We wish all the wonderful dad’s out there a happy, healthy Father’s Day!

Cheese And Onion BreadFood, Recipes, etc
500g plain flour10g instant dried yeast15g saltBlack pepper1 large sized onion400g strong cheddar cheese600-650ml water
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and season generously with salt and pepper.Grate the onion and the cheese. Stir the cheese and onion into the other ingredients.Add the water, a little at a time, stirring until you have a firm, sticky mixture. You may need to use slightly more or less water, depending on the particular type of flour you
use.Leave the dough to rise. This can take several hours and you should wait until the dough has doubled in size.Knead the dough on a floured surface, forming it into a round loaf shape.Place the loaf onto a greased baking tray and leave it to rise again for an hour or so.When it is ready to bake, the dough will have a
plump appearance and be springy to touch.Bake at 200`C for 30 minutes. Tap the bottom of the loaf to check that it is properly cooked. Fully cooked bread sounds hollow when you knock on it, although the density of moist onion and cheese in this dough does make it sound hollow.

Encouraging healthy habits in Kids Snacking is a fairly new thing and has fast become a part of our culture. Grazing throughout the day might also not be a bad thing for some, especially where very active kids are concerned. Refuelling regularly is important! It’s the choice of snack here that makes all the diff erence – use the opportunity to cram more nutrients into your kid’s diet and only keep healthy options in your house. If there is no
junk available, no junk will be consumed, simple really!Placing all the healthy treats in glass jars where they are visible to your child will encourage them to go for those options. If you do keep chocolates and crisps in your house, store them in opaque containers where they can’t be seen immediately.
Some excellent choices are:• Mixed toasted Sunfl ower, Pumpkin & Sesame seeds• Snack mix: Raw mixed nuts with Cranberries & Raisins & Banana
chips (choose dried fruit that is preservative and sugar free)• A good wholefood Museli with no added sugar & milk (or dairy
free option)• A sugar free nut butter (Macadamia/almond/peanut) on good
quality wholemeal bread. You can add sliced bananas on top for extra sweetness
• Home-made Museli bars• Natural/Greek yogurt topped with nuts/seeds & a drizzle of
natural honey.• Home-made pan-popped popcorn (stay away from the
microwave kind) seasoned.• Home-made banana bread with raisins, nuts and honey (no need
to add sugar as bananas naturally sweet)

BACK TO BUSINESS - The value of your businessWhen I was approached to write on this topic / slash question, the first thing that came to mind was: "what's the difference between the value of my business and the worth of my business?" I'm sure it has you thinking as well. Lets look at the worth of my business...This is the question that normally comes up when one considers selling the business. (I wonder what's my business worth, what can I get for it?). That is normally an easier answer to come to as it involves Rands and cents. On the other hand, when I ask: "What is the value of my business?" it's a different story. Here we are not talking rands and cents but, PURPOSE! Why am I running this business? What is the desired impact I want my business to have? What was the need that I wanted to supply or the gap I wanted to fill when I started this business? These are the questions that one now has to answer. When considering these questions and it's (honest) answers, you are left with two options. 1. Maybe the time has come to sell my business (for what it's worth) or 2. Because of the value of my business, there is no way that I am selling my business. So in light of the above I will suggest that as business owners, we should often "take stock" of our business in order to see what is the value of our business before we are forced to sell it for what it's worth. Take the time occasionally to "Get back to business" in order to stay in business as we continue to lead our businesses from where we are....

Rondebosch East recently launched a neighbourhood watch (LanRoE) in response to rising crime in the Rondebosch East and Lansdowne precincts. Registration is underway and its members will soon undergo training. How can you help LanRoE counter crime in our community? While the watch is supported by active patrollers and participants on social media platforms, there are certain pockets in the neighbourhood that are underrepresented. Join us on active patrols – be it on foot, bicycle or in a car. If you cannot patrol, join our social media platforms and be the eyes and ears of our neighbourhood. The simple task of getting to know your neighbours, sharing numbers, emails and stories can help us to create a strong network that can overcome criminal syndicates and opportunists alike. Knowledge is literally power. - There are a few simple things we can all do to make our homes safer:- Close your windows and lock your doors and gates when
you leave home or go to bed.- Leave your yard and stoep lights on at night – a well-lit area renders criminals visible.- Place your bins outside on bin collection days only – not the night before. Prevent potential criminals from lingering outside your property under false pretences.- Do not give people money when they knock on your door, especially at night.- Screen your employees: do you know their full names, addresses or employment history, for example?- Be conscious of your environment, especially when you drive home. Be sure that you are not being followed. Circle your block to see if it is safe to park your car.- Actively monitor the quality of SAPS service / your armed response service provider.
