Recap! Self-Care 101: Creating Rituals That Nourish the Mind, Body, and Soul

Had an incredible turn out the last weekend in March at the Black Love Experience for my workshop: Self Care 101, Creating Rituals That Nourish the Mind, Body, & Soul. We discussed what I believe are the fundamentals of self-care, and the importance of laying a strong foundation for health by creating healthy rituals. Most of us think of self-care as pampering; but before we can begin “treating ourselves” it’s really important we give our bodies’ the nutrition, sleep, and spiritual food it needs to thrive. I’m grateful to all who came out and excited to share more on Self-Care very soon. If you missed my past article 10 Fundamentals of Self-Care, check it HERE.

IG TV Episode 6: African Superfoods – Injera / Teff Flour

Have you ever had Ethiopian or Eritrean food? If so, were you aware that injera the bread that usually accompanies most dishes is super healthy for you and rich in essential nutrients?  If you are completely clueless, this one’s for you boo.

Welcome to Health Bytes!

Most people are completely unaware that Africa boasts some of the worlds most powerful superfoods. Today I want to shine spotlight on injera, a sour dough-risen flatbread with a slightly spongy texture that is light brown in color and a  staple in Ethiopian or Eritrean cuisine. Injera can be prepared using variety of flours such as sorghum but most commonly used is teff which is a tiny super grain that has serious super powers. Genetic evidence has show than teff was one of the earliest plants domesticated and may have originated in Ethiopia and Eritrea between 4000 BC and 1000 BC.

So what makes injera a superfood? Injera is rich source of various essential nutrients including fiber, protein, and vitamins. It contains high amount of protein including all 8 essential amino acids, high amounts of vitamins A, C, K, many of the B vitamins, and a wide range of minerals including ( high amounts of iron and calcium, along with potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc). Injera made from pure teff is gluten-free making it  and suitable for consumption for people with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance. In 1996, the United States National Research Council characterized teff as having the “potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable land care”.  Most Ethiopians hardly suffer from diseases like anemia, osteoporosis, and diabetes (Gamboa and Eriks 2008). Some scientists do connect this to the consumption of teff as a daily diet. Some researchers believe that the bioavailablity of iron in injera contributes more than the iron content of teff for the less incidence of anemia in Ethiopia

One serving of Injera has nutrients that boost circulation, maintain electrolyte imbalance, aids with blood coagulation, and maintains healthy eyesight. It contains 20-40% resistant starches and is low on the glycemic index so it will not leave you with an energy hangover and is actually a wonderful food for diabetics as it helps to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. The Antioxidant content in Injera acts to protect the cell damages from free radicals, decreases risk of heart disease and cancer.  Injera made from sorghum provides high level of minerals like magnesium (which is essential for stress relief), iron, and B vitamins like niacin and thiamin. To add to the laundry list of amazing health benefits of injera, consuming it improves digestion, reduces menstrual issues, improves bone health, supports proper growth and development, boosts the immune system, and the insoluble fiber detoxifies the body improving elimination of waste and toxins. Alongside powerhouse grains such as quinoa and spelt, teff should be acknowledged as a legit superfood as it is low in fat, sodium, high in fiber, and contains a nutrient profile that can help you lose weight, remain disease free, and optimize your health! If you don’t know, now you know.
