Africa has one of the world’s best collections of healthy diets.

In the next 20 years, the world will learn from Africa on matters relating to healthy lifestyles. It is a known fact that most of the world’s oldest people are somewhere in the hinterlands of Africa – only the statisticians do not get to add them up! While problems with hunger and congested cities do exist in Africa, there are also many places that offer healthy diets and cleaner air to breathe, unlike other parts of the world battling with issues of pollution. Visit the villages, have a taste of the bitter leaves and herbs, and then you will understand the 2015 research published in the Lancet Global Health Journal which has revealed that African countries such as Chad and Mali have some of the healthiest diets in the world as compared to European countries who eat the worst.
