Hi Steemians, Some people today suffer a great deal of effect of their diet as
they pay greater attention to ready-made foods with its modern trends. Africans of old for example, lived solely on foodstuffs which grew on humus and compost based manure. This may partly be the reason why such people could be heard moving far distance on foot for trade and other concerns across the Africa continent. In the today’s experience on movements, young people below 30yrs in some situations find themselves mostly transported be cars (taxis) and motorbikes thus rendering them either obese or weighing heavily.
In Cameroon it is believed that the race of people in East Cameroon called Pigmies are still so much connected to natural life as they have the habit of living in forest areas than to come out to towns. This creates the belief that this race is stronger and healthier when compared with other Cameroonians from different ethnic backgrounds. This can be seen from the type of human activities they are involved in and how they survive under the given conditions of their environment.
This brings us to the area of diet from plants/crops that grow dependently on organic manure providing fruits and other foodstuffs for their diet. Fruits here are the fundamental source of vitamins which build up their defense and their immune systems to resist diseases and uphold their health. I therefore invite those of us who can not be opportuned to benefit diet from natural environments to develop our own orchards just around our homes with each type of fruit tree having a single stem in variety. Samples of the fruits are attached on the photo of my drawing below.
