The Value of a Traditional Ancient Diet

Joy Kauffman, MPH

Take a couple minutes to learn about the longevity diet of Tabitha, a Ugandan who lived to be 115 years old! Her grandson, Dennis, a FARM STEW Uganda Board Member, shared memories of her abundant life during a board meeting under a mango tree in Uganda last year. 

She ate the traditional, ancient diet in Uganda consisting of soaked, whole grains and beans, unpeeled sweet potatoes, fruits, and vegetables. Orange-fleshed sweet potatoes alone can save lives. The orange color represents the presence of vitamin A. That is what boosts immunity and preserves eyesight. FARM STEW promotes eating across God’s color spectrum of fruits and vegetables! I hope you got a rainbow today!

Tabitha's diet is the same recipe for abundant life FARM STEW promotes. Learn more here: https://www.farmstew.org/ingredients/meals.

 

Dennis affirms that the effort to create change must start at home with ourselves in our diets.

Quotes
"I am 14 years old, and I started my period this year. My first day I felt shy and I missed school... It is not easy to find pads in my village and the few here are very expensive to buy. These new pads are going to protect me when I am having my period. Since they are reusable, I am not going to worry anymore when my periods come!"
Pads

Everyday thousands of African girls drop out of school. WHY? Their monthly cycle, period.  You can help these girls stay in school with washable cloth pads, panties and confidence for 15$ per girl.
Our goal is 5000 girls in 2020!
