In this short driving episode I share my thoughts on what I've witnessed in the city of Lincoln UK.
There is a noticeable increase in the population of Nigerians and Ghanaians living, working and studying in Lincoln and or parts of Lincolnshire county.
Walking or driving past the areas populated by these overseas visitors, there is a clear physiological difference between the African men, women and children and the English families born and bred here, mainly the distinct disparity in obesity levels.
I rarely see overweight or obese African visitors, which leads me to think the food cultures and habits must be different in parts of their huge continent. Whilst this may not actually be the case for all Nigerians or Ghanaians in the UK or back in their home countries, it's something to consider and possibly learn from, regarding a change of mindset and nutritional habits here in Lincoln.
After travelling to Japan last year and witnessing the low levels of obesity in Tokyo and Kyoto, it's becoming more apparent that the UK is vastly inferior in this aspect of health, as we are increasingly under pressure due to the norm of highly processed foods and lack of physical exercise.
