At The Noakes Foundation and Eat Better South Africa’s we are continuing with our mandate to educate the lower-income communities. We are continuing with education about nutrition and our programme participants and the general public can continue with their LCHF.
We have continuing to keep in touch with the participants that were part of our previous 6-month intervention and our board members are constantly sharing positive messages, encouragement and on how to keep positive during this hard time. The EBSA team is trying, by all means, to continue the work virtually and continue our communication with our affiliates too.
South Africa is slowly allowing certain activities to happen while adhering to COVID-19 regulations so this has easied some of the challenges some of our participants were facing regarding sticking to the LCHF diet. To inspire and motivate the team, we have started running a Sugar-Free September internally.
The month of August is a very important month in South Africa where we celebrate women. A few women in our team wrote articles to share their stories.
Eat Better South Africa is still planning on expanding and starting new interventions in areas where we had interventions and in a new area called Mamre, a small rural town, situated on the Northern-most border in the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality in the Western Cape province of South Africa. The intervention in Mamre will be headed up by Sylvia Scholtz a Community Coach of Eat Better SA who has been part of changing the future outlook of health in the under-resourced communities of South Africa since 2015. She is passionate about everything health & nutrition-related and also runs her own community gym in Atlantis.
On the 30th August Eat Better South Africa and The Noakes Foundation joined the Virtual 5th Annual LowCarbUSA - San Diego 2020. The team will be shared our community stories, talk about our programmes and share some of the results from the recent research study looking at the effect of a low-carbohydrate nutrition education program on dietary choices and metabolic health in women from low-income South African communities.
