Decolonized food sovereignty recognizes the importance of our first foods and their ability to enhance prevention in health outcomes. Where western medicine falls short is that they try to approach food as medicine in a clinical, western-nutrition based programming while ignoring the important cultural and local knowledge that has built up tribal food systems for thousands of years. Supporting policies and initiatives that provide access and infrastructure for first foods to be utilized in modern day is a better approach then telling natives to eat chicken and drink milk.

Food is medicine! Utilizing nutritional strategies for healing is critical in the era of increasing chronic disease.

Reflecting on an inspiring World Kidney Day event organized by the #KenyaRenalAssociation at #KenyattaNationalHospital. Grateful for the opportunity to engage with esteemed colleagues and experts dedicated to kidney health. As a clinical nutritionist, let's spread awareness with some key nutritional insights: 1. Opt for a balanced diet low in sodium to support kidney function and manage blood pressure. 2. Monitor phosphorus intake, especially for those with kidney disease, by avoiding high-phosphorus foods like processed meats and carbonated beverages. 3. Maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and regular physical activity to reduce the risk of kidney complications. 4. Stay hydrated with adequate water intake, as dehydration can strain the kidneys. 5. Work with a registered dietitian to develop a personalized meal plan tailored to individual needs and kidney health goals. Together, let's advocate for kidney health and empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed nutrition choices. #WorldKidneyDay #KidneyHealth #NutritionAwareness"

Exciting new research highlights the power of family dynamics in promoting healthy diets and improving health outcomes for those with chronic illnesses. The study, co-led by Ramya Ambikapathi and Morgan Boncyk, emphasizes that family food behaviors can be a key lever in achieving sustainable and healthy diets for all.
