Podcasts about Mount Kilimanjaro

In today's episode, I sit down with NFL legend and Las Vegas native Steven Jackson to talk about what it really takes to sustain excellence, both on the field and in life. Steven shares the story behind his Mount Kilimanjaro climb, the mindset that carried him through pain and pressure, and the importance of putting one foot in front of the other when the path gets hard. We talk about how early mornings help him silence the noise, why being drafted 24th overall fueled his motivation, and how he made decisions that set him up for success long after football. His approach to giving, growth, and grit continues to shape the legacy he's building today.

As a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran with accolades including the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts, Douglas Greenlaw's courage under fire is undeniable. But his extraordinary journey didn't end on the battlefield. Rising from a lower-middle-class background, he climbed the corporate ladder to become the President of MTV Networks in NYC, revolutionizing media and entertainment in the process. He is also a passionate adventurer, having scaled daunting peaks like Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua and is now a #1 Bestselling Author on Amazon with his captivating memoir, Forged By Lightning. Inducted into the Military Hall of Fame, Douglas embodies the power of positive thinking and embracing life at any age.

Kilimanjaro towers over Kenya's Amboseli National Park, creating one of Africa's most iconic safari backdrops. But timing your visit makes all the difference when it comes to seeing elephants against this magnificent mountain. After ten years of guiding in Amboseli, Michael Laubscher breaks down the park's distinct seasons and what each offers. From the predictable elephant movements and dusty lake bed crossings of the dry months, to the lush green landscapes and clearer mountain views during the rains, learn how to plan your Amboseli safari based on what you want to experience. Michael shares practical insights on weather patterns, animal behavior, and why his personal favorite time to visit might not be what you'd expect.Visit our website: https://wild-eye.com/

“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here? The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. Alice: I don't much care where. The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn't much matter which way you go. Alice: ...So long as I get somewhere. The Cheshire Cat: Oh, you're sure to do that, if only you walk long enough.” That is the famous dialogue between Alice and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carrol. And it's a great illustration of what happens when you don't know what is important to you and where you want to go. You're going to go get somewhere and that somewhere is probably going to be a place you never wanted to go to.  This week, I'll share with you why developing your Areas of Focus is so important.    You can subscribe to this podcast on:  Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin Areas of Focus: The Foundation Of All Solid Productivity Systems.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. So, why are your Areas of Focus important? Well, in a nutshell, they give you direction. They help you to prioritise your days and weeks and give you purpose.  Without them, you'll end up helping someone else achieve their goals, more often than not, in exchange for money, only to discover you're health is shot to pieces and you've spent your forty years of working life miserably giving away five days a week to something you hated doing.   A bit harsh, I know, but if you've read the book The Top five Regrets of The Dying by Bronnie Ware, you'll know that the number one reason given was “I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”  It's your areas of focus that will allow you to live a life true to yourself because by developing your areas of focus, you'll learn what is important to you and what is not.  And the second reason? I wish I hadn't worked so hard.  When you don't know what is important and what is not, you will work too hard. Everything becomes important, and that means you work long hours and at weekends, missing out on your children growing up and enjoying the best years of your life doing the things you want to do.  I'm pretty sure that's not how you want your life to work out.  So with all that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Julie. Julie asks, hi Carl, I hear you mention knowing what's important to you a lot, yet I really don't know what's important. I'm under pressure at work and I have two teenagers at home. I feel my life is being pushed and pulled by everyone but myself. What can I do to create some boundaries in my life?  Hi Julie, thank you for your question.  It's when we feel lost and out of sorts that our Areas of Focus can help to bring back some peace to our lives.  Our areas of focus are focused on our needs and wants. And because of that, people feel it's an indulgence to even consider spending time on developing them. That's particularly the case when we have a young family and we've allowed our work to dominate our lives.  The first book I ever read on time management and productivity was Hyrum Smith's Ten natural Laws and time and Life Management, and around the first quarter of that book is spent on developing what Hyrum Smith calls your governing values.  Your governing values are the values by which you live your life by. With these, we will all be different. For some, being a good mother or father will be their most important value, for others, it might be building a successful business. Now, when I read that book I was around eighteen or nineteen and that part of the book washed over me. I was young, I believed I was immortal and I could do anything I wanted to do. I didn't have time to think about my “governing values”.  Yet, with age, came wisdom and around my late twenties I began to see the importance of having a set of values to guide me.  That's when I gave myself a couple of weekends to write out my governing values. Funnily enough, as I look through my old Franklin Planners from that era, I can see that the values I wrote down then are not far away from how I define my Areas of Focus today.  it's these areas that give you a direction and a purpose. They help you with prioritising your days and weeks and give you a solid foundation on which to build your goals.  For example, I used to be a smoker. Throughout my twenties and thirties I's smoke around twenty cigarettes a day. I found it relaxing, a great way to step away from my work and to think. Yet, I knew that by continuing to smoke I was violating my area of health and fitness.  I was going to the gym and running, I was eating healthily, but i was destroying all that by continuing the smoke. As I got older, the pressure inside me to quit something I enjoyed doing grew stronger. it eventually reached a point where I had to quit.  Every time I reviewed my areas of focus, I had that niggling voice reminding me that the vision I had for my later life—being able to travel the world running marathons, exploring places like Mount Kilimanjaro and the Rocky Mountains would be just a pipe dream because I would be spending my later life in and out of hospital.  And so, I set the goal to quit smoking. Now for anyone who has gone through the process of quitting smoking, you'll know it's one of the toughest things to do. It took me two years to finally quit. Yet, the effort was worth it.  Quitting gave me a sense of accomplishment, a realisation that I could do anything if I put my mind to it and it was compatible with what I felt was important.  Yet without a set of principles—something your areas of focus will give you—things like stopping something that is slowly killing you or staying in a career that is draining you and leaving your feeling depressed and unhappy—will never occur to you. They will be placed on what Brian Tracey calls, “Someday Island”, a place where nothing happens because you're waiting for “someday”.  another illustration of this was when i joined a law firm. I had spent six years training to be a lawyer. I worked hard, to get my legal qualifications, yet when I began working in a law firm, I quickly realised I'd made a huge mistake.  I hated being stuck behind a desk eight or none hours a day.  Prior to working in an office, all my jobs had involved a lot of moving around. I began my career in hotel management, where I spent all day running around a large building dealing with all sorts of issues. I'd sometimes be on reception helping to check people out, then I's be in the restaurant serving lunch. It was fun, physically exhausting, yet incredibly fulfilling.  Then I went into car sales. And again, my days were largely spent running around a showroom and forecourt talking with customers.  Suddenly, I'm chained to a desk and within six months I'd gained 20 pounds in weight, I was unhappy, and felt trapped. It was as if I had been sent to open prison where I was expected to be in one place for eight to nine hours a day Monday to Friday. it was horrible.  So, I quit and came to Korea. a decision that turned out to be the best decision I've ever made. Yet, when i told my friends and family I was quitting the law firm and going to teach English in Korea, they thought I was mad. Why was I quitting a potentially lucrative career to go and do something I knew nothing about?  Yet, it was my areas of focus that told me what I needed to do. staying in that legal job violated my career and business area. I was trapped in an industry that held firm to a tried and tested career path. I didn't want that constraint. I wanted a lot more freedom to help people and perhaps change their lives for the better. Being a lawyer would never give me that freedom.  The benefit of having a set of established areas of focus is they give you a blueprint for the life you want to live. By writing them down, and reading through them every six months or so, you get the chance to realign yourself with the way you want to live your life.  Now, for those of you who have not looked at your areas of focus before, there are eight areas we all share. These are: Family and relationships, health and fitness, Finances, Business / career Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality life's purpose  Each one of those mean something to us. However, how we define them will be different of each of us, snd in what order of importance will change as we go through life.  For example, as you get older, your health and fitness and finances will likely move up the list and your career and business will drop down.  When or if you start a family, your family and relationships will rapidly climb the list.  You may even find that over time you redefine one or more of your areas. This is perfectly normal.  however, at their core, these areas define who you are and what's important to you.  This means, Julie, when it comes to juggling your career with your family, you will be able to see by how you prioritise your areas whether you should attend your daughter's netball finals or that important meeting at work.  If family and relationships is above your career, then it's an easy choice to make. However, if you have prioritised finances above family and relationships, you'll need to decide if the risk of missing out on a promotion, is worth it to see your daughter play in the netball finals.  The problem most of face is there are too many competing demands on our time. Time is fixed. We get twenty-four hours a day; that's it. The good news is, no matter what work you do, you always have control over how you spend those twenty-four hours.  I know many people will say they don't have control over their time. But you do. You can decide not to attend a meeting you've been invited to. You get to choose whether to tap the accept, decline or maybe button when it appears on your calendar.  Whether you accept a meeting request or not, will depend on what you prioritise.  Given a choice between a meeting with an important person on a Saturday evening or spending that time with my wife, I already know the answer. my wife will have priority. Family and relationships is much higher than my career/business area.  I can renegotiate the meeting with the important person. Saturday nights are my family's protected time. It's one night a week, and I won't sacrifice it for anything.  This also translates to my work week. My exercise time is 5:00 pm. At that time, I stop what I am doing and either head out for a run or go upstairs to the loft and lift weights. I never schedule meetings at 5 pm. That's my exercise time and right now, my health and fitness area is higher than my career/business area.  All this comes down to knowing what's your areas of focus mean to you and how you prioritise them. There we will all be different, but it's your areas of focus that will give you a blueprint for how you want to live your life, what is important to you and where you want to spend your time.  Not knowing what your areas of focus are will be like being Alice in Alice in Wonderland. you'll feel the need to go somewhere, but will have no idea where and then you will end up following someone else, and that someone else will not always have your best interests at heart.  I hope that has helped, Julie. My advice is to spend some time working on your areas of focus. Determine what's they mean to you and pull out any activities that you can do consistently and add them to your task manager or calendar. That way you will stay on course. And, if you find you are not happy with the direction you are going, redefine your areas and adjust course.  Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

Send us a textEvery moment counts. That's the lesson cancer taught me, and it's hitting home as I watch my son—now taller and stronger than me—prepare for his freshman year of high school.Since transforming this into a cancer-focused podcast, something unexpected happened. My inbox floods daily with pitches from authors, people who have had cancer, and researchers eager to share their stories. While I never planned an interview format, these voices deserve to be heard. Meanwhile, I've found a new comfort in sharing my own cancer journey, even fielding interest about turning my story into a book.But a simple phrase stopped me in my tracks: "You only have 18 summers with your children. Make them count." Before cancer, I consistently prioritized work over family. After facing mortality, I promised myself that would change. Now, with my main business Hike Like a Woman demanding attention—preparing for a Utah trip, another Kilimanjaro expedition, and managing website redesigns—something has to give.Family and adventure are my core values. To honor them, I'm pressing pause on this podcast, at least until I return from Kilimanjaro. Then I'll either reinvent it or let it go entirely. Cancer taught me that time is precious, and sometimes the most powerful choice is knowing when to step back. What would you like to hear if this podcast returns? Your feedback matters as I contemplate this next chapter. Until then, cherish your summer moments with those who matter most. Support the show? Have a question about our group trips?

This is a special live report from the inaugural We Out Here Trail Festival that just happened this last weekend on June 7, 2025. It took place outside Seattle, WA, at St. Edwards State Park.  The trail scene is and has long been the whitest, most male dominated sector of the running world. Instead of continuing to wait for the system to change, RDs Aaliyah Earvin and Alison Mariella Désir stepped up and made the event that they have wanted to see for a long, long time, and that they knew it was possible.  Their vision: “We imagine a world where everyone feels welcome to find joy in the trails, free from fear or intimidation, and surrounded by a supportive community.” Welcome, We Out Here. An event that, by all accounts, not only met, but exceeded expectations. Event participation featured the largest percentage of people of color at a trail event, ever. And 66% of participants were first timers. And, the day was nonstop full of joy! Which you will hear reflected in this episode.  Not only did these women create a successful event, they created a new model. It's not often that you get to be at a history making groundbreaking event. And, I'm really excited to share this with you.  This episode comprises a series of on-the-spot interviews featuring women talking about their experience of the day. Many of these women you will likely not be familiar with, but several you probably will: Verna Volker, founder of Native Women Run; Carolyn Su, founder of Diverse We Run and co-host of the Making Strides podcast with Stefanie Flippen; Flippin, a pro racer, is also featured in this episode: she is one of the fastest a 100-mile racers in the country; and you'll also hear from Mirna Valerio, author of the book, A Beautiful Work In Progress. Also, you'll hear from the two race directors, Earvin, who is a coach, fitness professional, and community builder, and Désir, who, among many other accolades, is the author of the groundbreaking book Running While Black.  Get a taste of what it was like, live at this historic event, the inaugural We Out Here Trail Festival.

How should climbers prepare financially for the significant costs of climbing Everest? Steven Pivnik, an ambitious mountaineer currently on an expedition with Alpenglow Expeditions, is striving to summit Mount Everest, aiming to join the elite "8000 meter club." Having conquered Kilimanjaro and faced the challenges of Denali, Pivnik brings a wealth of experience to his Everest endeavor, underscoring the importance of meticulous preparation and acclimatization, facilitated by tools like hypoxico tents. His perspective on the ascent highlights the dual priorities of safety and summit success, favoring the north side of Everest for its relative safety from avalanches and rockfall. With a focus on returning alive and reaching at least 8,000 meters, Pivnik's journey is a testament to the lessons learned from past expeditions, where physical readiness and the role of failure contribute to eventual success. Key Takeaways Proper acclimatization to high altitudes is crucial for climbers to prevent oxygen deprivation. Hypoxico tents are innovative tools that mimic high-altitude conditions to help climbers build red blood cells. The south route through Nepal to climb Mount Everest is risky due to obstacles like the Kumbu Icefall and Hillary Step. Monitoring pulse ox, fitness levels, and health indicators is crucial for safety and predicting summit success. Planning and timing the summit attempt on Everest involves starting the ascent in the dark to avoid bad weather. Physical preparation, including legwork, core strength, and endurance, is essential for climbing high mountains like Denali.   More from Steven Pivnik Steven Pivnik is a tenacious and dynamic entrepreneur, bestselling author, and in-demand keynote speaker whose journey from Eastern European immigrant to successful tech founder and endurance athlete has inspired countless others. As the former CEO and co-founder of Binary Tree, he scaled the IT company to over 200 employees across twelve countries, landing multimillion-dollar licensing deals with IBM and Microsoft before orchestrating a successful acquisition by Quest Software. Under his leadership, Binary Tree was named to the Inc. 500 and Inc. 5000 lists of fastest-growing companies for seven consecutive years—thanks in part to its thriving culture of low turnover and high client satisfaction. Away from the boardroom, Steven is equally relentless. He has competed in over a dozen full-distance IRONMAN® triathlons—including the prestigious World Championship in Kona—along with ultra-marathons and high-altitude mountaineering adventures, summiting peaks like Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua. His book Built to Finish weaves together lessons from endurance sports and entrepreneurship, revealing how grit, stamina, and vision fuel long-term success. Whether advising founders, motivating audiences, or tackling unfinished business on Denali, Steven brings an unmatched blend of energy, insight, and lived experience to every challenge he takes on.     Website: https://stevenpivnik.com/book/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenpivnik/   If you are an experienced CEO looking to grow your company, visit https://www.TheCEOProject.com   You can also reach Jim by email: Jim@TheCEOProject.com   LinkedIn: @theceoproject Instagram: @the_ceoproject Twitter/X: @the_CEO_Project Facebook:  @IncCEOproject

Last week, we explored the role of insurance in protecting your assets. This week, we're zooming in on a type of insurance that often flies under the radar: travel insurance. Whether you're climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, cruising to Antarctica, or simply flying cross-country, travel insurance can make or break your trip financially if something goes wrong. In this episode, I share:When travel insurance is actually worth buyingThe difference between credit card travel protection and comprehensive travel insuranceWhy I canceled my Chase Sapphire Preferred after a frustrating insurance claimHow to evaluate the real value of travel coverage, especially when traveling internationallyThe pros and cons of single-trip vs. annual travel insuranceWhich companies are most reputable and what to look for in a policy From missed connections to emergency evacuations, I'll help you decide when it makes sense to get coverage — and how to avoid wasting money on insurance that won't pay when you need it most. Key TakeawaysCredit card travel insurance can be helpful for minor issues, but often lacks the customer support or reimbursement success for larger claims.Comprehensive travel insurance offers coverage for emergencies, medical care, and trip cancellations — crucial for expensive or adventurous trips.Consider annual plans if you travel frequently.Always read the fine print and check what's truly covered before buying. Mentioned Travel Insurance CompaniesAllianz Travel Insurance World NomadsAIG Travel GuardIMGTravelex InsuranceAmerican Express Travel Insurance Please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite Podcasting platform.

Get ready to be moved, inspired, and maybe a little teary—in this special episode, Krista gathers a panel of brave, brilliant women gearing up to climb Mount Kilimanjaro… for a cause that's bigger than all of them.Together, they're raising $111,000 to build a school for children in Tanzania. But this isn't just about altitude and donations—this is a story about transformation, sisterhood, grief, courage, reinvention, and what it means to say “yes” when your soul whispers (or roars) at you.

My name is Lyndon Fraser. I am a circus artist originally from New York, but now I'm in Montreal training in acro-ladder. I've always loved flipping, twisting, and pushing myself to become the best version of me. My circus journey started when I was 15, but at 16, I made the big decision to move away from home to pursue it full-time. It's been a long and challenging road, but one that has taught me patience (lots and lots of it), physical discipline, relentless drive, and how to find the best in every moment. Training acro-ladder, in particular, has been a lesson in persistence. After all, you can't get mad at a ladder—only at yourself. I'm incredibly excited to be here with you all today, and I hope this inspires you to step outside your comfort zone and try something that scares you. That's where the magic happens.

Not sure we ever thought we'd connect 'Xena: Warrior Princess' and Mental Health Awareness Month in a single episode, but there is a first time for everything. Join CH as she takes a trip in the wayback machine to reflect on a life mantra she came across back in 1998 from actor Renee O'Connor during Renee's attempt to summit Mt. Kilimanjaro. In a story told to author Jane Treat, Renee's mantra, "Take a step and breathe," helped her push through the grueling physical and mental challenge of completing the trek even when her mother was forced to turn back. CH was inspired by the saying back then - so much so that she printed it out to have at her desk. Cut to today, it's a timeless and relatable mantra that can serve as a beacon of hope and a tool for self-care as we continue to focus on the importance of maintaining a healthy mental wellbeing.   Show Notes The original article where CH first learned of the mantra, "Take a step and breathe," was authored by Jane Treat back in 1998 and titled "Renee O'Connor - To The Roof of Africa | ROC's Trek Up Mt. Kilimanjaro." It is archived on the very longstanding ReneeOConnor.info site that still operates today as part of the AUSXIP Network. For those looking for more information on Mt. Kilimanjaro, head over to the Wikipedia entry. CH also does mention the mountain, K2, as an example of a mountain that requires technical climbing expertise in order to summit.

Alexandra Garcia's journey into the outdoors began in adulthood, after relocating from Puerto Rico to Virginia, USA. What started as a personal reconnection with nature quickly turned into a deep passion for endurance challenges that test both body and mind.    Since climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2017 and completing the Grand Canyon rim-to-rim in 2018, Alex has pursued adventures that push her limits — including backpacking rugged trails in Puerto Rico and continuously seeking what she calls “difficult pursuits.”   Now based in Western North Carolina near Pisgah National Forest, Alex is not only an outdoor athlete and writer but also a changemaker. She co-founded the AWE Summit Scholarship Foundation to increase accessibility and gender equity in mountain sports, helping women and girls around the world reach new heights — literally.   In 2025, Alex will travel to France to climb Mt. Blanc, and she's also training for a Fastest Known Time (FKT) attempt on a challenging trail route.    Whether she's writing, running, or leading with purpose, Alexandra is passionate about personal growth, emotional resilience, and helping others find the courage to take on their own version of hard.   ***  Catch the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, dropping every Tuesday at 7 am UK time!

Five years ago, I attended a reception honoring a group who had climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. What enabled them to accomplish this rare feat was a class they took beforehand—where they studied the experience of those who had done it before. They learned the process, the path, the tools, and the guides others used to succeed. And by understanding how others made it up and over, they were able to do the same. That same principle applies to the mountains we face today—not just physically, but politically, spiritually, and psychologically. The challenges we face as a people and as a nation are daunting. And yet, like the Israelites in Joshua 4, we are reminded that there is power in memory. There is strength in understanding how those before us made it over. Because if they did it, we can too.

In this heartfelt Mother's Day episode, host Tracy Daugherty speaks with Julie and Gabby—a mother-daughter duo who joined the Freedom Challenge's 10-year anniversary climb of Mount Kilimanjaro.Gabby, a medical student, and Julie, a physician and prayer team member, share how their shared passion for justice and deep faith led them on a parallel journey—one physically summiting the mountain, the other spiritually covering the team in prayer. Along the way, they navigated personal milestones, past trauma, and divine moments of healing and connection.From their first “yes” to the emotional embrace at the summit gate, this conversation explores what it means to step into God's calling with courage and unity.

Unlocking Personal Growth: Insights from Michelle Gruening on Coaching, Success, and "Stop Doomscrolling"

We haven't chatted with anyone in Nepal for a couple of weeks, so we thought we'd go back there with Len Forkas, who is heading to Mt. Everest to cap bagging all of the Seven Summits – the tallest peaks on all seven continents. This achievement also brings him a step closer to completing the coveted Explorers' Grand Slam, which includes the Seven Summits and trekking the last degree of latitude to the North and South Poles. He began his quest in 2013 summitting Kilimanjaro after accomplishing endurance feats like biking the Race Across America. Len does all of this to support a charity he founded called Hopecam, which does amazing work connecting cancer-afflicted kids to their schools and classmates. It was spurred after his own son Matt was diagnosed with leukemia when he was 9, and aside from the daunting treatments, Matt endured the challenge of isolation from his friends. Back in 2002, there was no Facetime or Skype, so Len arranged for a video connection between Matt and his class, and Len noticed what a sea change that was for Matt's overall outlook, as well as how much it benefitted his classmates to interact with him and help demystify cancer to them. This led to the birth of Hopecam, which began connecting 50 hospitalized kids and led to partnering with St. Jude's Children's Hospital and eventually affiliating with 180 hospitals and helping 1000 inspiring kids at a time. A majority of these kids come from Title 1 schools and whose families often can't afford Internet service. Len has a personal connection with many of these kids, and for this Everest project, he is paired up with a fifth-grader in Louisiana. In this chat, Len talks about how teamwork plays roles in accomplishing both his projects as well as in Hopecam's important mission for which he is aiming to raise $1,000,000. You'll also hear about his many other extreme adventures and the preparations for them and about a couple of harrowing episodes he had where divine intervention may have saved his life so he could continue his mission. Len is one of the nicest people with whom I've had the pleasure to chat, and this riveting episode is filled with so many great life lessons about humility, teamwork, finding purpose, and listening to and learning from others. He also shares great lessons he's learned about uniting people to work toward common goals in his book, What Spins the Wheel.  Len Forkaslenforkas.comSupport Hopecam today at hopecam.orgInstagram @lenforkasjrLinkedIn and X Len ForkasHis books What Spins the Wheel and Cold Hard Truth are available on AmazonBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Think about your favourite foods… the dishes you eat to make you happy. Are they traditional African foods - like vegetables, fresh fruits, roots, tubers, nuts, beans, and staple whole grains? Foods like Pap, Fufu or Ugali? Or are you thinking about a burger or deep fried chicken and chips from your favourite fast food shop? A new small-scale study found that when participants switched from a western diet to the traditional Kilimanjaro diet, their health markers improved in as little as two weeks. The researchers say they believe traditional foods from throughout the continent could have a similar impact.So could the ‘African Heritage Diet' be the new Mediterranean diet which helps us all get healthier?Today on the podcast, Mpho Lakaje speaks with the team from Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College which conducted the research: Dr Godfrey Temba, an expert in nutrition, and members of his research team, Dr. Mary Mosha and Dr Vesla Kullaya.
