NANIMA’S REMEDY

BEETROOT
Beetroot/Beta vulgaris have been utilized for their medicinal properties since ancient times. Considered beneficial to the blood (high in iron), heart, and digestive system. Regarded as a laxative; a cure for bad breath, coughs and headaches; Following the Middle Ages, beetroot was used to treatment digestion, blood problems and as a decongestant. Recently beet root is regarded as a cancer preventative, strengthening to the immune system. A remedy for indigestion, acidity, gastritis and heartburn and is known to relieve other problems of food toxicity (improper diet and incomplete digestion), including skin problems, headaches and lethargy. Beta vulgaris provides a particularly rich source of betaine – a mood modifier. Betaine-rich foods pharmacologically produce the positive effect of relaxation.

NANA’S SECTION

Schalk Burger stormed out: Stormers may appeal against the two-match ban slapped on flanker Burger by Sanzar for unsportsmanlike behaviour. Burger was cited after he verbally challenged and then gesticulated towards assistant referee Willie Roos following his yellow card against the Sharks. Media manager Frikkie Erasmus initially said the Stormers hoped to decide whether to appeal on Tuesday but they were still mulling over their options yesterday. If they did appeal, he said, it “would not be against the sanction”. Erasmus was vague about what exactly the Stormers would appeal against, but it seems likely the procedure that led to Burger’s suspension would be challenged.

NANIMA’S GREEN FINGERS

RECYLE GLASS Donate throw away glass containers such as bottles and jars. Glass is not biodegradable, but it is 100-percent recyclable.The energy saving from recycling one bottle will power a 100 watt light bulb for almost an hour, a washing machine for 10 minutes, a TV for 20 minutes or a computer for 25 minutes.The raw materials for glass – sand, soda and lime – all have to be dug from the earth. Every ton of glass that is recycled saves 1.2 tons of raw materials and the equivalent of 136 litres of oil energy. Only 140,000 tons, or 20 percent, of all glass containers produced annually in South Africa are retrieved for recycling. About 550,000 tons of waste glass still finds its way into our landfills.
