Diet tips when flying
Flying to Australia means several hours on the plane. Dietician Dr Ingrid van Heerden discusses what you should and shouldn't eat to make your trip safer and more comfortable.
Are you healthy enough to fly?
You booked your ticket overseas a year ago but are not feeling all to well at the moment. Should you still travel?
Sports Fans: The Road to Sanity
You've seen those fat, half-naked guys on TV. The ones in the stands at a rugby game, bare-chested in the direct blazing sun, their beer bellies proudly painted in their team's colours. Sure, they look crazy. But the crazy thing is, they may be saner than you.

So the World Cup has unleashed the patriot inside of you. But you have one major shortcoming: you don't know the national anthem. We give the opportunity to save face.
How sports teams beat jet lag
With dozens of international soccer teams jetting into SA for the 2010 Soccer World Cup, just how does a gruelling 11-hour flight and possible jet lag affect their game?

Travellers with food allergies must be even more alert and careful than regular travellers to prevent allergic reactions from spoiling their holidays.
Overindulged?
Had a fabulous dinner with a bunch of close friends last night? Now it's the next morning, and you know that you've had too much to eat and drink. Try these natural remedies.
Want more sex? Do the dishes!
