Who else is watching this in 2023?
2024 😂
I am looking into eating for my ethnicity as I am suffering from obesity and high blood sugar . I want to be free of this problem for good and retrain myself to eat the way i should to avoid disease and sickness
Fasting is a great start just 1 day a month and increase per month
I am white, but i still consider this a healthy diet for me as well since my ancestors would largely have been from the continent of Africa as well, just slightly less recently
At 35 minutes: "exercise AND relaxation" thank you so much it really is a complement of exercise
This is a POWERFUL! A very needed source of information.
Thank you Dr. Jessica Harris, Constance Brown-Riggs and Sara Baer-Sinnott for your detailed information.

Cheap starch staples are not just grains but also tubers and winter squash. The traditional grains of africa are sorghum and teff. It is possible to ferment teff flour to make injera bread. Africa also has native yams (dioscorea). Can easily get enough calories and fuel every day from the cheap starch staples. America has corn and nixtamalized corn products like tortillas are more nutritious. If want to reduce or eliminate animal products, can take vitamin b12 supplement every day.
We also have to wash our produce with baking soda to get rid of 90% of the pesticides ☠
We are happy that you enjoyed the webinar Carmenlita. Thanks for viewing.
I never agreed with the heavy and greasy southern food. It taste good but it's not good for you. Let's not forget cape verde,they're diet is very healthy

Love this. However. Ugh. My son is half Jamaican. Half European ancestry. So I find it confusing on what kind of a diet would be ideal for him. I find the more I learn about nutrition the more confusing it becomes.
kslice... Agreed. I've tried many diets. In the end, the ones that were the best, were the ones that gave me better digestion and vice versa.
For some time, I foolishly persisted with eating lots of grains and beans, because so many people kept saying "they're so healthy!".
They are for many people, but not for me, because I just cannot seem to digest them well now. So I've had to remove them.
I'm going to keep occasionally trying to add them back in, because variety is good too. But, patience is key.
So I would encourage you to pay attention to how you feel after you eat.
If the good feeling is like a rush, and later you crash, that's probably a sugar/carb rush and not so good. But a sustained good feeling is likely a healthy one.
I'm no doctor, but I have experimented a lot. Logged my food and used a glucometer (blood sugar meter).
Paying attention to digestion has been my main lesson. It's free and needs no tech, nor training, so I think it's a keeper 😊.
kslice... P. S I'm also mixed race, and for a while was wondering the same thing. So I tried eating diets from one of my cultures, and then the other. Neither worked well. I was surprised.
But I've since worked out that dairy, grains, and legumes are a problem for me. So now it makes sense, because dairy was quite heavy in the first, and grains /legumes in the second.
Maybe, I'm unusual with this, but, I guess I'd say don't sweat the whole "eat right for your ancestry" thing much.
Cos maybe your son is the same as me with foods, and not actually a mix of his ancestry when it comes to these things.
It was disappointing for me, but, no point forcing things.
Secondly, almost everyone does well on maximising fresh foods and as much variety as you can within your means.
And lastly, eating foods you enjoy and that have some emotional meaning to you. That always helps too 😊. There are still quite a few foods I can eat from my cultures, especially if I'm flexible with recipes.
I’m mixed but I’m here because African food is tasty
Whatever the dominant gene in your childs body would be your compass guide to feed your child
The majority of these foods are indigenous to the Americas.Okra,black eyed peas and ackee were the only foods that came from Africa to the Americas.
Get your facts right 😩
Collard greens, rice and sesame seeds were also indigenous to Africa and brought to the Americas by our ancestors.
More foods than that buddy
Don't forget watermelon and seasoned battered fried chicken come from Africa
