A huge thank you to our collaborators and participants in Tanzania! 🥗🌾
This is a long term collaboration with Dr. Godfrey Temba and Vesla Kullaya who conducted the study in Tanzania and promoted such a high-level and important investigation.

With rising rates of #cardiovascular disease, #diabetes, and chronic #inflammation, these findings have major implications, not just for Africa but globally.
Our research underscores the importance of studying traditional diets that were until now underexplored.
🌿 Meanwhile,a switch to #AfricanHeritageDiet or fermented drink resulted in a reduction in inflammatory markers. Some of these effects persisted even four weeks later, indicating that short-term dietary changes can have long-lasting effects.
In collaboration with Radboudumc and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) University, we found that
🍟 #WesternDiet switch results in an increase in blood inflammatory proteins, activation of biological processes linked to lifestyle diseases, with less effective response to pathogens
🚨 New research alert! 🚨
Our latest study here at @unibonn.bsky.social and the Systems Medicine at @dzne.science , published in @naturemedicine.bsky.social reveals just how dramatically diet influences health 🥗
