Over the next two months, most laundry detergent brands in our grocery aisles will

be changing from a concentrate to a super and ultra concentrate. You will notice that

your favourite product will halve in size, but will deliver the same amount of washes.

The changeover to super and ultra concentrate will be better for the environment by

Whether you like them juicy or crunchy, Siciliano Bros have a peach or nectarine variety to suit your tastes.

PEACHES‘N CREAM

(left to right) Bruno, Tony and

Fred Siciliano, SicilianoBros.

TThe world is divided into two

kinds of people, according

to Richard Dow, Marketing

Manager at Siciliano & Sons

in Victoria. “Those who love

their peaches soft and juicy and those that

want them sweet but crunchy!” he says.

Thankfully, we can have them either way

thanks to the large variety of peaches grown

on their property in the Swan Hill district

– around 20-30 varieties that ripen to maturity

at different stages of the growing season.

They also grow around 60 varieties of white

and yellow nectarines. The difference?

our grower’s story

16

“They’re quite similar because our peach

varieties don’t have the loose white fluff,

but nectarines have a denser texture,”

explains Richard.

Right now, there’s not too much time to

sit back and enjoy the fruits of their harvest

because it’s smack bang in the middle of

picking season.

“It’s a stressful time because you’re battling

with everything at once,” says Richard, who

explains that the summer heat can easily

damage their precious crop.

“We let them ripen to maturity before picking

them so that you get the best flavour, but that

means if we get extreme heat, we suddenly

need twice as many people to pick the fruit

that morning.”

The warm, dry climate and limestone soil

in the Murray River region is ideal for growing

peaches and nectarines. What started out

as a 17-hectare farm in 1954 when it was

established by the Siciliano family, has now

become an impressive 1000-hectare stone

fruit business.

The three Siciliano brothers – Tony,

Bruno and Fred (pictured above) – are

all still involved. “Even our wives are hard

at work in the packing shed at this time of

year,” says Fred.

They’re also hands-on in the kitchen,

whipping up sweet jams and delicious

desserts with their freshly picked peaches

and nectarines. “I still can’t resist the good

old-fashioned peaches and nectarines soaked

in a little alcohol” says Fred.

And who can blame him!

BUK CHOY & PAK CHOY

Buk choy (left of pic) is a member of

the cabbage family. It has white or pale

green coloured stems, with rounded,

dark-green leaves. The stems have a

texture similar to celery, while the

leaves are similar to spinach. Both the

leaves and the stems are eaten, usually

in Asian vegetable dishes or stir fries.

Buk choy is available all year round,

and has a slightly mustard flavour.

Pak choy (right of pic) is really a

green stemmed variety of buk choy.

However, it is quite different in texture

and fl avour; the stems are more

fl attened and less juicy than buk choy,

the leaves are more tender and the

whole vegetable has a milder fl avour.

Buk Choy has a white stem and Pak

Choy has a green stem.

To store Store buk choy and pak

choy in the crisper section of your

fridge for 4-5 days.

ACTIVE KIDS

kids health

Growing children who play lots of sport don’t just need more kilojoules. Their need for nutrients skyrockets and junk just isn’t good enough. Here’s a guide to what sporty children need to achieve their full potential.

ENERGYChildren need energy for growth as well as activity. Normally, children will

crave more food to provide energy just before a growth spurt. Unfortunately,

if the foods they choose have too much concentrated energy, the excess will

simply be converted to body fat. That can then impede their performance.

What to do: Make sure your child’s energy needs are met with quality foods

– breads (preferably wholegrain), nutritious breakfast cereals, rice, pasta, lean

meat (or substitute chicken, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts or legumes), dairy (or soy

equivalents), potatoes and fresh fruit.

Dr Rosemary Stanton

STAMINAWhen children take part in sports carnivals or endurance events or play

in energetic team sports, they need plenty of healthy carbohydrates the

day before to maximise their muscle stores of energy-giving glycogen.

What to do: The night before a big event, make a pasta or rice dish.

Serve fruit for dessert and if your child is hungry before bed, yoghurt,

a glass of milk (fat-reduced is the best choice), a slice of toast or raisin

toast, or a banana are a good snack. On the day itself, make breakfast

a bowl of porridge or muesli or any of the quality cereals. Add sliced

banana and fat-reduced milk.

WATERExercising muscles need to be adequately hydrated. Thirst is usually a

good indicator of fluid needs and there’s no truth in the idea that anyone

who feels thirsty is already dehydrated. However, active children are

sometimes reluctant to stop long enough to have a drink, so they may

need to be reminded to drink. Technically, all that is needed is water and

this should be the first choice of fluid. A mixture of one quarter fruit juice

and three quarters water might also appeal.

What to do: Place some refillable bottles of water in the freezer. These

can go into a child’s bag where they will keep any fruit or other foods

nice and cool. Most sports-coaches now remind children to drink. For

teenagers taking part in endurance activities such as mountain biking or

long distance running, sports drinks are recommended. These contain

the right concentration of sugars, sodium and potassium so that the

fluid is absorbed rapidly. Do not use so-called energy drinks as their

caffeine content makes them unsuitable for children. By law, these

products must state that they are unsuitable for children on the label.

Any need for supplements?Unless a child has food allergies and can’t eat regular foods,

supplements are not needed. By giving children healthy choices

(as listed under energy above), you can easily meet their

nutrient needs. It’s most important that children have several

pieces of fruit each day – whatever is in season.

history, it’s vital to think

of fun ways to get kids off the sofa and

outdoors for some fresh air and exercise.

Whether it’s football, netball, softball or

cricket, whatever the sport, it’s essential your

child actually enjoys their time during training

and whilst on the pitch.

Remember, they’re playing for them, not

you. Kids also need to understand the real

responsibility that comes with being part of

a team and having others depending on

them. Pushy parents are a dime a dozen

and it’s not a great look. Try to follow your

child’s lead, within reason. If they are saying

they want to try something else, listen to

their reasoning and weigh up your options.

Chopping and changing activities mid-

season is impractical and can be expensive.

Given a little more time and perseverance,

they may master the skills necessary to

get real enjoyment from an activity.

Lifelong friendships are often formed

by both children and adults involved. If

parents actively support their child’s sporting

club, kids can develop a real sense of pride

and belonging.

Studies show that children who participate

in team sports are more likely to finish high

school. Regular physical exertion helps let

off steam and allows children to manage

stress better than they normally would.

It can ward off insomnia, depression and

low self-esteem, while increasing alertness

and co-ordination. While most children can

be reasonably egocentric, being part of a

team helps them to see a bigger picture

and think of themselves as an important cog

in a wheel, rather than the entire universe.

They learn to celebrate their teammates’

successes, along with their own and see how

sharing benefits the group as a whole.

A good coach is a mentor who bonds

with team members as individuals. Often a

child is willing to listen and follow instruction

from an independent coach, better than

they would their own parent, although many

parents make wonderful coaches too.

The three Ps are terrific achievable goals

for any child who loves their sport – practice,

patience and persistence - virtues most

parents would love to instill in any child.

And by watching from the sidelines,

encouraging and getting involved in some

homework in the backyard, or at the local

park, you’ll end up enjoying invaluable family

time together and become a fitter family.

Involving children in team sports could benefit the entire family. Apart from the obvious issue of staying active and healthy, sport helps instill confidence and a sense of fair play in children, from an early age.

L PLATESEveryone develops at their own pace and around 2 years old, most differences have generally evened out. Those who may have been slower developing in one area, have usually caught up with children who started early. Toilet skills are becoming organised, at least during waking hours, though there will inevitably be the odd “accident”.

>

PLAYTIMEHand-eye co-ordination greatly improves

around this time and most toddlers love

sorting, building blocks, painting, scribbling

and feeding and dressing dolls or teddies.

Balance is rapidly improving and they love

to test this by running, jumping, throwing

balls and going up and down stairs by

themselves.

Remember, all children develop at different rates. Your little one may not have reached all the milestones but don’t stress! If you are worried, speak to your GP, paediatrician or baby health nurse.

STEP BY STEPToddlers on the move are a whole new kettle of mischief. As they refine skills, such as talking, walking, running and climbing, they gain confidence and their sense of adventure increases.

INDEPENDENCE DAYBy prep age, your child will be convinced

he or she is very grown up, but don’t be

surprised if they still throw the odd wobbly

when they don’t get their own way. Now

they are ready to learn and are keen to

show you how much they know. They are

learning about friends, how to share when

they play and that they should care for

their possessions.

>They enjoy looking at pictures

in books and naming what they

see and will be fairly easy to

understand most of the time when

speaking, or at least able to make

their wishes felt. They might want

to start trying to dress themselves

and brush their own teeth, though

they will still need help. Language

moves along quickly around

three-year-olds and songs, rhymes

and books have extra attraction.

Three-year-olds are beginning

to combine words and can

understand and carry out

two to three part commands.

They will be naming body parts

and communicating in sentences.

Coordination has come a long

way and many will master the

pedals on a trike or bike with

training wheels. They may also

be able to undo and do up

large buttons.

EASY AS 1... 2 ... 3 ...EASY AS 1... 2 ... 3 ...

SPEAKING OUTLanguage is an exciting skill for kids to master. The secret

to helping your little one learn how to use words is simple.

Talk to them a lot and listen lots.

GGet the most of your

shower time by

getting the most out

of your products.

From body washes

and soaps, to scrubs and loofahs,

gone are the days when having a

shower was a chore — now, it’s all

about ‘me time’.

Scented, moisturising, relaxing,

invigorating, exfoliating… with so

many shower gels on the shelves to

choose from, it’s not always easy to

pick the right one for you.

Start with the scent — for a

scent that lingers all day long, opt

for something floral or fruity. If you’re

after a scent to relax you before

bedtime, lavender works a treat, or

for a morning pick-me-up, a citrus

scent will do the trick. To make your

body wash work even harder, choose

a formula with added moisturiser, this

will keep your skin feeling soft, silky

and hydrated all day.

Get double duty out of your lather

time by applying your shower gel

with a loofah, which will help slough

away dead skin cells, leaving you with

softer, more luminous skin. Starting

at the bottom of your body and using

long, upwards strokes will also help to

boost circulation, which in turn helps

with the appearance of cellulite.

If body wash isn’t your thing,

you can still stick to traditional soap

and reap the benefits. Again, soaps

now come in an array of scents to

choose from, and bars with added-

moisturisers are also super-effective

at keeping dry skin at bay.

Soap and body-wash users alike will

benefit from a using a weekly scrub.

Skin that is exfoliated regularly is less

prone to dry patches, is softer and

clearer and scrubbing will also help to

keep ingrowns and body

acne at bay.

With your body getting so much

love, it’s important not to forget your

hands. Hands are one of the first

places on your body to show signs

of ageing, so keeping them hydrated

is a must. Along with daily hand-

cream use, your hands will benefit

from a gentle, hydrating hand wash.

Once all the lathering and scrubbing

is done, maintain that just-showered

scent with a fragranced body spray.

The key is to pick a similar scent to

your body wash, so they compliment

each other rather than clash. So

there you have it, you really can get

gorgeous with a quick shower!
