In this week’s Health slot on Sakhisizwe we had an interview with Yolisa Siziba – a Social Worker from the Cerebral Palsy Association of South Africa who spoke about Cerebral Palsy. It is a disability that affects movement and body position and comes from brain damage that happened before the baby is born, at birth or after a baby is born. Yolisa told us more about Cerebral Palsy and whether is it preventable or not. For more information contact their offices on (021) 685-4150. That Interview was brought to you by the National Department of Health and Funded by the European Union.
We closed off the show with Janine Lloyd – a Life Coach. She told us about emotional eating. If you eat in response to your feelings, especially when you are not hungry, you are an emotional eater. Emotional eating means your emotions -- not your body -- dictate when and/or how much you eat. Experts estimate that 75% of overeating is caused by feelings which means that most of us are guilty of using food to cope with emotions. Janine gave us some practical steps for changing eating for comfort patterns. Remember Eating, though an enjoyable activity, should be based on hunger. If you would like more information or you would like help contact a professional life coach.
