Welcome back to Nana Konamah TV!

In today’s video, I’m back on my trusted white couch with Sally Kokoro, RD, who also just happens to be my personal dietitian.

Salomey Kokoro is a Ghanaian registered dietitian. She is passionate about creating an individualized Ghanaian approach to nutrition and wellness. She describes her food philosophy as “Experience the pleasures of food by adding a healthy twist to each plate”. This ideology served as the foundation for building Rdsali Nutrition, her wellness agency which aims to make healthy eating practical and African friendly.

In this video you will learn:

3:53: How Sally got into the registered dietician and nutrition game

8:06 When you need to see a dietician

9:51 What preventive nutriton looks like

12:00 If ‘wele’ is a good source of fiber

16:21 The truth about MSG

and more!

Sally debunks the myth about ‘wele’ - a Ghanaian favorite - its supposed dietary fibre content and suggests real sources of insoluble fibre.

We also chat about shitor and its long cooking hours, If you’re looking for vegan alternatives to Ghanaian favorites, my fonio waakye and vegan shitor recipe is the perfect place to start.

My Ghanaian people love to cook stews and soups for hours on end. The beans stew in my Red Red Buddha Bowl comes together in 20 minutes tops.

Do you use any healthy hacks when it comes to cooking?
