Sibongile Mofokeng returns to the Just For You driver's seat with Dietician Vusi Sape to discuss why people tend to eat more junk food during winter, often leading to weight gain and non-communicable diseases. Mr. Sape explains that colder weather and shorter days can trigger cravings for comfort foods high in sugar and fat due to psychological and emotional factors. He offers practical tips for eating healthy during winter, such as choosing warm, nutritious meals like soups and stews, and advises avoiding processed snacks and sugary treats. The discussion encourages mindful eating and making healthier food choices to support overall well-being during the colder months.
