Kpawumo Childrens Home, Tamale

Hi!  I have been MIA for a while now (A Million apologies). I got an opportunity to join a group of friends (Dietitians) : Brittany Wilson, Terrie Jorgeson, Kena Ludeman to Tamale for a few charity outreaches! A very humbling experience. This was made possible by an incredible humanitarian, Prince Mahama, founder of Savannah Kids Education Project (SKEP) a project, founded with the aim to give underprivileged children in the north of Ghana the possibility to follow primary and secondary education .

Rdsali at Accra Goods Market

Accra Goods Market is an open air market hosting a variety of food, fashion and design vendors. The event usually draws a large crowd with people coming all walks of life. Not only is it a great place to cool off on a hot Ghanaian afternoon, it is also an avenue to network with like-minded entrepreneurs and harness some inspiration. 

 The first fair of this year took place on the 25th of May, African union holiday, Rdsali and the team were there to sell healthy fruit cocktails as well as some sandwiches. Our most important mission was to spread the word on how easy & realistic healthy eating actually is.

The Weight Loss Trend

question : why all the fuss about weight loss

Answer

In recent times obesity and overweight have been ranked as the leading cause of many of  lifestyle diseases (diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol) . people in their late 20s and 30s are now susceptible to these lifestyle diseases which were earlier considered to affect people above the age of 50years .The alarming fact is that  majority of people do not know their weight status (whether obese or overweight), they reach this sad realization only when the complications of obesity begin to set in.
