Big Healthy and Fabulous

Who says going to the gym is for people who want to lose weight and have model bodies. Going to the gym is more than that. It is about being fit, maintaining the current weight and having fun with other people.

For Lubalethu Ndlovu a National University of Science and Technology Nust student it has been her way of living a healthy life, alongside eating healthy foods with less oil and sugar and drinking lots of water however still embracing her big body.

"I love my big body and l would not trade it for anything in this world and l have showed my love for myself by entering Miss Bodilicious last year."

Living a healthy healthy involves accepting who you are and your body. Many women are coming out of hiding challenging the patriachal society which has seen gyms and exercising as only meant for men. They are taking charge of their lives and their health going to gyms to boost their self esteem among other women, looking fabulous without changing themselves.

We have gyms in Bulawayo which include Body Works gym, Baberton gym and others which have allowed women to workout and do aerobics so that they can be healthy.

"I go to Baberton gym every morning from 6 to 8:30 during the week, l have not lost much weight but my body has been shaped nicely n l feel good about myself and most importantly l am healthy."


To be healthy and fabulous you do not need to be a size 26 just exercise, eat healthy food and love yourself the way you are.

Your environment is everything around you.The water, the air you breath and the places where your  food is grown. When your environment is safe and clean you are likely to stay healthy but if not your health can be disturbed.

On the 15th of March 2019 some part of Zimbawe in Manicaland province  was hit by a devastating cyclone which left the place unbearable because a lot of houses were destroyed, people were killed and also their livestock. Because of this cyclone there are now high chances of diseases such as malaria and communicable diseases like

A number of cases of cholera have been reported and and people are being advised to drink clean and safe water to stay healthy. The government is trying also to control the spread of cholera through distributing hygiene packets  and water chlorination tablets.
