Foods That Heal and Meal Plans.

24/08/2025

Your health is your real wealth.

No matter how much money you make, if your body is always tired, bloated, or running on empty, what good is it?

This week, choose food that fuels you, not drains you.
1. A plate full of color (variety of veggies and fruits) beats a plate full of grease/fats.
2. Energy-giving meals will do more for your mood than any “pick-me-up” snack.
3. Water over soda, always, your body will thank you later.

Remember, investing in your health is the one investment that never loses value.

If you agree, hit the like button and let’s fuel our bodies the right way this week!

QUIZ TIME!
Which fruit do you think has the highest Vitamin C content?

Most people would instantly say orange, after all, orange juice has been marketed as the immunity hero for ages. But is it really number one?

Quick refresher:
Vitamin C is your body’s shield, it boosts immunity, helps wounds heal faster, keeps your skin healthy, and even improves iron absorption.

We all know oranges, lemons, and limes are classic Vitamin C foods… but what if I told you some humble local fruits pack way more punch?

Example: One guava has almost double the Vitamin C of an orange.
Surprised? Most people are!

So tell me in the comments:
Which fruit do you think holds the crown for the highest Vitamin C content?

Soda vs. Flavored Water
Let’s play a quick “Do This, Not That”

NOT THIS: Soda – loaded with sugar, empty calories, and a sugar crash waiting to happen.
DO THIS: Flavored water – hydrating, refreshing, and you can make it fun with lemon, mint, cucumber, or even a splash of berries.

Why the swap?

Less sugar ➝ more energy

Better hydration ➝ glowing skin

No sugar crash ➝ better mood

The best part? You still get the “wow that’s refreshing” feeling, just without the negative health effects.

So tell me…
Would you try this swap? Or are you team soda for life?

Evening Reminder from Healing Bites

Tired after meals? Food should give you energy, not steal it!

Try these simple hacks:
1. Eat fruits earlier in the day – quick energy, no crash.
2. Skip heavy starch at night – let your body rest, not overwork.
3. Drink water before meals, not during – goodbye bloating!

Small changes = Big difference.
Better sleep. More energy. Happier you.

Which one will you try tonight?

My Real-Life Food Story

I’ll be honest with you…
I used to think healthy eating was boring.
Boiled sukuma? Brown ugali? Herbal tea instead of soda?
I thought, “This is for people who have no joy in life!”

But then… I tried it. Consistently.
And slowly, I began to notice things:
- No more bloating after meals
- Deeper, more peaceful sleep
- My skin started glowing without expensive creams
- Energy that carried me through the day without 3 cups of chai

That’s when it hit me: food can heal.
Not just your body, but also your mood, your confidence, your whole life.

And guess what? Healthy eating isn’t boring at all, once you see how amazing you feel, you won’t want to go back.

Now I’m curious… what’s YOUR food story?
Have you tried changing your eating habits before? What happened?
Drop it below, your story might inspire someone else to start their healing journey today.

Quick Anti-Bloat Tea (Your tummy will thank you!)

Feeling puffy or heavy after meals? Here’s a 3-ingredient fix you can make in minutes:

1. Hot water – the soothing base
2. 1 tsp grated ginger – fights inflammation & gas
3. A squeeze of lemon – wakes up digestion
4. (Optional) A drizzle of raw honey – sweet, natural touch

How to enjoy:
Sip it mid-morning or after meals to calm your stomach, beat the bloat, and keep digestion smooth.

Healing doesn’t have to be fancy. Sometimes, it’s just a cup of tea away.

Stop Eating This Like It’s Normal!

Just because it’s everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs in your body.

Here are 3 foods that are lowkey ruining your healing journey:

1. Refined sugar – inflammation’s bestie
2. Processed meats – cancer’s silent partner
3. Soda – pure acid + sugar in a bottle

If your body is trying to heal, these foods are slowing it down big time.

Pick ONE to cut out this week.
Just one. Your gut, your energy, your hormones, they’ll all say asante sana.

Which one are you saying bye to first?

Did you know? A cup of spinach gives you more iron than red meat, without the cholesterol. Let your plate be your daily dose of healing.

Your body is made to heal, you just need to feed it right.

Many of the issues we struggle with today like ulcers, high blood pressure, and diabetes can be caused by what we eat.

Too much sugar, too much oil, and eating processed foods can slowly harm your body.

My name is Mwanajuma Ali, a nutritionist with a mission to help you heal with food.

Let’s walk this journey together.

⏳New to intermittent fasting?

What’s your game plan, long fasts, short fasts, alternate-day, 16:8, or are you just... skipping vibes? 😅

Tell me, which protocol are you using and why?

Before you dive in headfirst, here’s the real tea:

Intermittent fasting isn’t just about skipping meals.

It’s a strategy. And like any good strategy, it needs planning.

✅ Start here:

1️⃣ Know your WHY. Are you doing it for weight loss? Gut rest? Insulin balance? Mental clarity?

2️⃣ Match your goals with the right fasting style. Not all fasts fit everyone.

3️⃣ Learn the HOW. Without the right approach, you might get headaches, constipation, fatigue, especially if your body hasn’t adapted yet.

But good news, these are preventable.

Hydration. Electrolytes. A smooth eating window. Smart transitions.

👉 These little things make a BIG difference.

So…

💬 Need help finding your perfect fasting fit?

I got you.

I’m one DM away from helping you fast the right way, with knowledge, not just hunger pangs.

😅 Be honest… why don’t you eat Nderema?

Is it the slippery vibe?

The "earthy" taste?

Ama ni class issues, it’s not bougie enough for your plate?

Or is it just not common in your tribe?

But wait, do you even know what Nderema is?

A.k.a. Malabar spinach, this green gem is called Nderema, Ndelema, or Mgagani depending on where you’re from.

👇 Before you write it off, here are 3 powerful health benefits of this leafy legend:

🥬 1. Rich in iron & folate – Supports blood health and keeps fatigue at bay.

💩 2. High in fiber – Keeps your gut happy and digestion smooth (yes, even if it’s slippery 😅).

🧠 3. Packed with antioxidants – Helps fight inflammation and protect your cells like a plant-based superhero.

Now tell me...

👉 Do you eat Nderema in your culture?

👉 How do you cook it traditionally?

I’d love to hear your recipes, and if you want some healthy + tasty ideas from me on how to make Nderema shine on your plate -

comment below and say “Nderema Goals”! 💚
