Food is not just food: Somalia

Healthy tips

Clinical nutritionist Insaf Zerouga gives the following tips to Hamdi:

• It is a good idea to start the meal with vegetables or fruit. Then you will be a little full, without adding many calories.
• Replacing red meat with fish and chicken is very good for health.
• Avoid deep-frying, bake in the oven instead.
• Also watch the amount of oil you use. One teaspoon per serving is often enough. Use vegetable oils such as olive or rapeseed oil.
• Make the food yourself from scratch. Then you can reduce the amount of oil, salt and sugar yourself.
• Add wholegrain flour when you make muufo bread. It will be both healthier and more filling.
