Yoga for menopause
Yoga can reduce hot flashes and night sweats among women going through menopause...
Are SA women too fat?
Or are we facing unrealistic expectations from SA men? Laurie Crook points some fingers.

Luckily it's the latest nanotech self-repair kind and while you make a call, you watch it fix itself in less than five minutes – and in a colour to match your latest nanotech glitter nail varnish – venus vermillion!
Next, you plug into your Google Cerebral Chip, and let the Clone Clinic know you're running late – you're really excited to see the latest results of their final selection for your carefully-cultivated, genius clone baby that will be delivered to you next spring.
Damn! Your Google Chip Diary reminds you it's Thursday – that means between all this running around you have to visit your old dad, a potato farmer back in 2010, who's been locked up for the last seven years in the local prison for breaking the Genetically Modified Crop Piracy Law – he replanted seeds without paying his annual renewal fee and is now in the slammer for life. Embarrassing!
And because the prison's on the underwater side of town, due to the latest Global Warming disaster (the South Pole polar cap totally melted down last year, causing mega mayhem), you're going to have to catch that awful Google Underwater Rail across town... Sounds far-fetched? Well maybe not. These are some of the possible future trends.
Your new future?
Imagine the following: you've decided to dedicate your early years and energy to your career and getting that dream house on the hill. By the time you're 45, you've
got it all except the pitter-patter of tiny feet down the passageway. But luckily you planned ahead when you were 20 and in your prime, and you've literally had your eggs put on ice. Your partner Sifiso, 50, had his sperm frozen too – now all you have to agree on is 'when' and hey presto, your baby can be ordered. No sex, no mess and no glitches on the career ladder.
As wild as this may sound, according to Dr Carl Djerassi, the man who invented the Pill, it's just a matter of time before this scenario is normal. Dr Djerassi foresees a world where people will no longer have sex when making babies – and many new mothers will definitely be older mothers.
Of course the question arises on whether it's ethical to have a newborn child at 60. Will we have a world of ageing mothers who will possibly die before their children reach high school? And if sex becomes unnecessary in procreation, will men be ultimately unnecessary?
The possibilities that abound on our future horizons are endless...
