I chose dietetics because......

Food is part of our everyday lives.

I love being able to have a positive effect on people's lives through assisting them by making more informed choices and improving their health.

And assist those patients who can not eat in ICU and be part of their recovery journey.

October is breast cancer month

Early Detection of Breast Cancer is Vital
CANSA highlights the important role that women can play in taking ownership of their personal health during breast cancer awareness month and that getting checked regularly and early, is vital.


In South Africa, according to the National Cancer Registry (2017), one in 26 women are at risk of developing breast cancer. And 16% of cancer deaths are attributed to it. There is growing concern that most women present with late-stage cancers, which make for a difficult prognosis.

We encourage women to focus on their breast health by being aware of any changes or irregularities, get to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and go for regular breast screenings.

He is an amazing boy with a loving mom caring for him. Lets give this family all the help they need.

The story of brave little Rodwell.
One night a little boy fell asleep to the sound of beautiful singing during a church service. He thought he would slip off into an amazing dream but he woke up in a nightmare. He was not woken by everyone screaming, but by a hyena who had carried him off into the dark. His family fought hard, but still resulted in unimaginable injuries that would change his life forever. The attack has sustained extensive damage to his face.

Rodwell’s journey to recovery is far from over and we at Smile Foundation, with your help, would like to see him go the full distance.

It’s not too late to give Rodwell a happy childhood 👉 https://bit.ly/3CD1gRm

I am a believer that you have to make changes as you go along. Habits will not change from one day to the next. Be gentle with your self, do not make unrealistic resolutions and goals. There 365 days a year to work on your goals, it does not have to be all achieved my the end of January.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
