Newsletter 06 - June 2011

SA Men strives to deliver content that is varied, interesting, entertaining and hopefully helpful. This week we look at Caffeine as the new hallucinogen, yip the humble brew is no longer just a wake up drink but a hallucinogenic one at that - we’re clearly drinking the wrong stuff.

We also take a peek at the Land Rover’s new Freelander and, apparently, there’s a new way to quit smoking without gaining weight - it's called exercise and moderate eating but who are we to argue with science?

We also check out the thrills and spills from the weekend’s action at Zwartkops, and regular columnist, and dad, Marlon Abrahams almost lets the truth out about the tooth fairy. All right here.

Wellness
The end of the tooth fairy is in sight Maddi lost her first tooth this weekend and it was a momentous occasion in her little 5-and-a-half-year-old life. Discovery may pave way to quitting smoking without gaining weight Smokers tend to die young, but they tend to die thinner than non-smokers do. A team of scientists led by Yale School of Medicine have discovered exactly how nicotine suppresses appetite. Meditation back to basics Fulltime workers who used a traditional 'silent' form of meditation became less stressed and depressed compared to more conventional approaches to relaxation or even placebo. Caffeine the hallucinogen? Caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive drug. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages such as tea, soft-drinks and energy drinks access the stimulant and when taken in large quantities increase tendencies to hallucinate.
Wheels
Altech GT Challenge provides turmoil at Zwartkops Thrills and spills at Zwartkops, now in Afrikaans as well. Handsome, capable Freelander Land Rovers are tough, go-anywhere chunks of metal and as long as you don't mind a hard, uncomfortable ride any one of the bar-room brawling Defender versions will take you where most other vehicles might stumble and stall.
