Establishing healthy eating practices: A conversation on "going traditional" with Mai Benjie

In 2022's last episode of Africa to the World, Yvonne and Shami sit down with Mai Benjie to talk about her health journey and how she got to a point where "going traditional", i.e. embracing traditional/organic foods saved her life. She tells of how she went from uncontrollably high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, debilitating arthritis and back pain, and a BMI which considered her obese, to now living an active and fulfilling life with all these conditions under control.
