Researchers advocate for the inclusion of plantains, cassava, and fermented banana drink in global dietary guidelines, based on their positive impact on immune health seen in Tanzania's Kilimanjaro region. The study, published in Nature Medicine, found traditional foods reduced inflammation levels compared to western diets. The urgency to document and study these heritage diets is emphasized as they are increasingly replaced by western eating habits. This preservation is crucial not just for Africa, but for global nutritional insights, especially in combating chronic diseases linked to inflammation.
The traditional diet of Tanzania's Kilimanjaro region boosts the immune system and reduces inflammation, presenting a compelling case for inclusion in global healthy eating guidelines.
Research reveals that traditional foods enjoyed in Tanzania's rural villages have a significant positive influence on inflammation markers, highlighting the benefits of these heritage diets.
