hile eating and living with a conscience is becoming more and
more mainstream, what about conscious quaffing? With this in mind,
a new local wine, Earthbound, has been launched. With a range of
five
varietals, four of which are also certified organically grown,
the new wines have more depth to them than just complexity of
character; they are grown using Fairtrade principles too.
Earthbound wines have a conscience: from how the grapes are
cultivated, to considering its carbon footprint from farm to
fridge, to reinvesting in the land and its people. Its also a high
quality wine that is easy-drinking with wide appeal, says winemaker
Samuel Viljoen. The latest premium wine innovation from Cape
Legends, Earthbound wines are produced on Papkuilsfontein Vineyards
in the West Coast Darling district. It is characterised by an
expressive terroir of water-rich red soil, above-average rainfall
and dry bush vines that collectively yield consistently good
crops.
Our grapes are sourced from certified producers and we ensure
trading conditions are properly sustainable for both the land and
the communities that work on it. In fact, for every bottle of
Earthbound that is sold, R6.50 is reinvested into the farm and its
people, says Viljoen. He said the farm employs eco-sustainable
principles too. For example, owl boxes accommodate these birds of
prey, allowing them to control rodents, while steam weeders are
used to destroy invasive plants with heat.
And while the wines are low-sulphur, four are also organic. This
means that the vineyards employ farming methods that produce the
strongest and richest grapes possible with the fewest detrimental
effects on the environment, explains Viljoen. The vines were also
certified by the global benchmark for quality, Socit Gnrale de
Surveillance (SGS), after a three-year conversion process. The full
range can be foraged from TOPS @ SPAR, Cyber Cellar and Darling
Wine Shop for between R45.00 (white) and R54.00 (red) RSP. For more

or most of the world, the transition from summer to autumn and
autumn to winter never is easy. You still crave those warm summer
nights and the idea of seeing a temperature below 20 is
frightening.
For those experiencing the weather shift and all that comes
along with the change of seasons, staying motivated to exercise and
maintain your once outdoor routine, slowly starts to crumble with
each gust of wind that passes by. Exercise can actually help clear
your winter blues and chances are, you'll be in tip top shape once
the weather warms up. Be creative and don't stop just because the
wind is blowing. Chances are, you'll wake up to a fitter and
healthier you come spring. Here are some tips to stay motivated and
keep the body you love during the cold winter months.
If you're a person who loves to exercise outdoors, use the
change of weather as a time to try something new and change up your
own workout plan. Map out a new routine at the start of each season
and find a different way to stay in shape because there are
thousands of ways to stay active.
If you're that person who loves to run outside, whether rain or
shine, then it's important to be prepared for the winter worst. For
many people, cold air can trigger chest pain or trouble breathing.
Make sure if you have any medical conditions or concerns about
exercising outside, check with your doctor beforehand. Dress in
layers that are easy to take on and off and made of sweat resistant
materials. Having drenched clothes mixed with a wind chill is a
recipe for spending the next few days sick in bed, so wear the
proper attire. It's important to still use sunscreen if you plan to
stay active outdoors.
The more fit you are, the less likely you are to get sick during
the winter. It's no surprise that colder weather brings runny noses
and winter coughs. Keep yourself moving, put the right foods into
your body and make sure you continue your healthy lifestyle to
prevent you from contracting any illness. No one wants to spend the
holidays stuck in bed, so burn those calories, even if they seem
frozen.

A mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a
Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known heart surgeon in his
shop. The surgeon was there, waiting for the service manager to
come and take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the
garage, "Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?"
The surgeon a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working
on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on
a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart,
take valves out, fix 'em, put 'em back in, and when I finish, it
works just like new. So how come I get such a small salary and you
get the really big bucks, when you and I are doing basically the
same work?"
The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the
mechanic...Try doing it with the engine running.
The mechanic & the surgeonJust for giggles
The human body has been designed to resist an infinite number of
changes and attacks brought about by its environment. The secret of
good health lies in successful adjustment to changing stresses on
the body.Harry J. Johnson
