Description

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. If you've been considering taking your health a little more seriously, this is your sign! Have a listen and join the conversation on our Facebook page @yvonneandshami

Harnessing Indigenous Knowledge for Good Health in Africa and Beyond

In this episode, Shami is joined by Rumbi Trish Chitsa and Dr Michael Bhebhe in a conversation on the use of traditional foods, fruits and herbs. The trio touch on various issues including unravelling the idea of certain traditional foods being viewed as "poor man's food", yet they have been eaten for centuries in the country and are in fact highly nutritious. Rumbi and Dr Mike also share on the work they have been involved in as far as increasing people's knowledge and use of traditional foods is concerned. You can check out a list of Dr Mike's publications here: https://ww5.msu.ac.zw/member/mr-michael-bhebhe/ and his latest publication on treating respiratory ailments here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1474706522001255 To listen in on the Iron Deficiency Symposium:  https://fb.watch/gQXWdiOY1e/
