Pumpkin grows across Uganda. Seeds are thrown away. Don’t. Wash, dry, roast or eat raw. Add to porridge + stews. A handful daily = what most zinc + magnesium supplements replicate. #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth #ProudlyUgandan #PumpkinSeeds #LocalSuperfood #NovaDietetics #Uganda

Per 100g: 7.8mg zinc (highest of any common Ugandan food), 592mg magnesium (one of the highest of any food), 19g complete protein, 8.8mg iron, omega-3, tryptophan (serotonin precursor). #PumpkinSeeds #Zinc #Magnesium #UgandanFoods

We close May with the smallest food covered this month. And one of the most powerful. Pumpkin seeds. Most people throw them away. 🌿 Thread 👇

Over time: insulin resistance, belly fat, inflammation, diabetes + fatty liver + heart disease. Fix: replace sugary drinks with water or passion fruit juice. 8-12 weeks = measurable reversal.#NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth #EastAfricaHealth #SugarScience #BloodSugar #UgandaHealth

40-60 min: glucose crashes. Dopamine drops lower than before. Fatigue returns stronger. Craving hits again. This is the cycle that drives daily soda consumption. #InsulinResistance #SugarCrash #NutritionScience #NovaDietetics

What actually happens inside your body within 60 min of drinking a soda. Most people have no idea. 🗓️ Thread 👇

@CSection01 Prayers to your Mummy 🙏

Last Friday, my mother developed severe pain and blurred vision. As the first son, I drove to Ntungamo and brought her to Doctors' Plaza Nsambya, where she was diagnosed with Acute Leukaemia. Hoping for a different outcome, I flew her to South Africa for further tests, continued.

Fix: low-GI eating (matoke, beans, sweet potato), protein at every meal, fibre, 30 min walking, 7-8 hrs sleep. Uganda’s traditional food is almost perfectly aligned. #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth #MetabolicHealth #InsulinResistance #NutritionScience #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth

Main drivers: excess refined carbs + sugar, sedentary behaviour, poor sleep, chronic stress, ultra-processed food. All rising in Uganda alongside urbanisation. #InsulinResistance #DiabetesPrevention

Metabolic health is one of the most important and least discussed health topics in Uganda. Here is what it means and why it matters. 🟡 Thread 👇

The single most impactful change: stop sugary drinks completely. Fatty liver is reversible in early stages. Book a Nova consultation: +256 789 482 500🌿 #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth #EastAfricaHealth #FattyLiver #NAFLD #LiverHealth #ClinicalNutrition #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth

What helps: coffee 2-3 cups/day (clinical evidence for reduced liver inflammation), avocado, onions + garlic, nakati + bitter greens, 30 min walking daily. #NAFLD #NutritionUganda

🧵 Fatty liver disease has no symptoms until serious damage is done. And it is rising fast in Uganda. What helps: coffee 2-3 cups/day (clinical evidence for reduced liver inflammation), avocado, onions + garlic, nakati + bitter greens, 30 min walking daily. #NAFLD #NutritionUg

🧵 Your gut produces 95% of your serotonin. The mood chemical. Made in your gut. 1/3 The gut-brain axis: gut bacteria directly influence your mood, sleep, stress response, and brain inflammation. #EastAfricaHealth #GutBrainAxis #GutHealth #MentalHealth #NutritionScience

1 tablespoon of sim-sim (sesame) has MORE calcium than a glass of milk. Uganda grows sim-sim commercially. It is local. Affordable. In every market. Sprinkle on porridge. Add to stews. Use daily. 🩸 #SimSim #Sesame #UgandanFoods #NovaDietetics #UgandaHealth #EastAfricaHealth

@uppervoidstudio Spot on! This is nutrient timing at its finest — Vitamin C with iron, zinc at a separate meal. These small strategic shifts make a massive difference in recovery outcomes, especially in our anaemia-burdened population. Practical, evidence-based & free! #NutritionScience

What you eat during illness matters as much as medication. When fighting malaria, typhoid, or flu, your nutrient needs go up while appetite drops—slowing recovery. Take fluids, simple meals, iron, zinc, vitamin C, and avoid sugar. Simple foods. Right strategy. Faster recovery.

Did you know? Mukene (silver fish) has 55-67g protein per 100g -- more than beef. All of this for 3,000-5,000 UGX per 250g. Uganda has been sitting on one of the world's most complete and affordable nutrition sources all along. 🐟 No imports needed. 🌿 #Mukene #SilverFish
