Chef Profile of the Week – Cordialis Chipo, Zimbabwe

Cordialis Chipo is a registered dietietian with graduate degree in African Area Studies. She offers a wealth of information focused on the healthy heritage of African food.

“As a health care professional, I can unequivocally announce that I am worried.

I’m worried about the nutrition transition in which many Africans are trading wholesome traditional ingredients for western-inspired foods of poorer nutritional quality.

I am worried about the rise of obesity and diseases of lifestyle such as diabetes and hypertension amongst people of African descent, especially those who lack access to adequate healthcare.

I am worried about the engineers, doctors, lawyers and the rest of the working class lives being lost to complications of chronic disease.

I am worried about our children who if current trends persist will inherit a future of ill-health.

I founded The African Pot Nutrition (TAPN), to teach people how to eat and stay well in a period of extreme development and diseases of lifestyle.”
