You’ve cracked open breakfast, washed the pans—and those eggshells are tipped into the bin again. 🥚

What if instead you kept them and turned them into a quiet little power-move for your soil? Eggshells are packed with calcium and trace minerals, the kind your plants can slowly draw on year after year. But here’s the twist: the usual “just scatter them around your seedlings” advice? It doesn’t quite hold up.

I’ll walk you through the smart way to prep those shells, what they actually help with (and what they don’t), and how to avoid the popular myths that might be wasting your time.

WELL DONE BLOEMHOF!!!!
Towns in South Africa and Namibia are eligible, provided they have a population under 500,000 and have not recently won the competition. The winning town receives a R1 million cash prize from Lottoland to invest in town development and another R1 million in advertising on kykNET and Kwêla.

Bloemhof resident and councillor, Albert Nel, explained that when he entered the competition, he was confident that they would perform well. “I never doubted that Bloemhof would win and be named Town of the Year. Our community worked together to make this happen,” he said.

Nel explained that Bloemhof is flourishing because its residents join forces to ensure the town performs well. “We have a fantastic community with great people across the cultural spectrum,” Nel said during a Kwela interview.

He added that they have great tourist attractions, including the Vaal River, the Bloemhof Dam, and excellent fishing competitions. Nel also credited the agricultural community and farmers, who help to make Bloemhof a great town.

Bloemhof’s victory recognised the spirit of its citizens who overcame adversity to renew community pride and rebuild their town.

This is particularly impressive, considering it is not a wealthy town. Only 7% of households have an income above R26,000 per month.

PROUD OF YOU!

Every time you choose to control your anger, you are actively rewiring your brain to remain calm and compassionate. Anger is a natural emotion, but how we respond to it can either benefit or harm us. When we resist reacting impulsively, our brain strengthens the pathways for kindness, empathy, and emotional regulation.

Ayurveda teaches us that emotional balance is just as important as physical health. Managing anger allows us to stay in harmony with ourselves and those around us. By practicing patience and awareness, we cultivate inner peace and create a kinder world.

Make a commitment today to pause before reacting. The more we practice, the easier it becomes to stay grounded in stressful situations. How do you manage your anger? 🧘‍♂️💚

Glutathione, a molecule made from 3 amino acids - glutamine, glycine, and cysteine, is considered your body’s ‘master antioxidant.’

It is produced in your body with its primary role to protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Damaged cells lead to ageing and exposure to illness or disease.

Glutathione production in the body starts to decline with age, declining about 10% per decade after your 20s, and external factors like stress, poor diet, and toxin exposure can reduce its natural supply.

Here is a guide to help increase glutathione and reduce its decline.

+ Eat real, whole food, as close to nature as possible, nothing processed, nothing refined.
+ Aim for high-quality, organic animal protein to provide the 3 amino acids for glutathione synthesis.
+ Include sulfur-rich foods like broccoli to increase the amino acid cysteine.
+ Add more vitamin C-rich foods, as it helps recycle glutathione and enhance its synthesis
+ Add more antioxidant-rich foods, such berries to boosts glutathione enzymes
+ Find ways to destress. Chronic stress increases oxidative damage and burns through glutathione.
+ Do regular moderate exercise, as it boosts glutathione naturally.
+ Reduce your exposure to toxins wherever you can. In food, consumer products, and the containers you use.
+ Supplement with glutathione, especially as you age.

It has been developed using an advanced formulation of Setria® glutathione, Cellg8™ liposomal delivery technology, and a patented extract of French melon to significantly increase the body’s cellular concentrations of its 3 primary antioxidants, Glutathione, SOD and Catalase.
