It’s that time again, Mzansi! With long summer days, epic braais, beach vibes, family time and that special energy in the air, South Africa’s festive season is unlike anywhere else in the world.
South Africans are gearing up for their favourite season – Dezemba! This year’s motto is: “Party Smart, Recover Stronger!”
“Dezemba is when South Africa comes alive! It’s our time to let loose, have fun and make memories,” says Greg Tinkler, CEO of Gloot. “But just like you can’t dance all night without taking a break, your body needs some TLC to keep the good times rolling. This Dezemba, remember to give your body and mind what they need while you’re living your best life.
“As we celebrate, it’s also an opportunity for recovery and renewal: time to regroup from the year behind and prepare body, mind and soul for the year ahead. Be good to yourself!”
Keep the groove going: Your Dezemba survival guide
Been dancing since last night? Spent too long in the sun? Here’s how to bounce back and keep the energy flowing:
Stay hydrated, stay winning
- Keep your water intake strong to avoid morning-after regrets.
- Skip the “’hair of the dog’ – your body will thank you later.
- Pro tip: Start your day with lemon water for a refreshing boost.
Keep moving (but make it fun)
- Take a leisurely stroll or try some morning yoga to shake off last night’s fun.
- Avoid extreme workout sessions after a late night – it’s still holiday time!
