Healthy ageing: Empowering African and Caribbean communities in the UK

In this episode, we'll explore the main challenges African and Caribbean people encounter while ageing. My guest today is Dr Sophia Amenyah is an Assistant Professor in Nutrition and Registered Nutritionist of African heritage at Northumbria University. She specialises in culturally-tailored nutrition and how this influences ageing well particularly for African and Caribbean individuals. She believes that food is a big part of our heritage and wellbeing. She is passionate and dedicated to empowering our community to eat well, keep active, and maintain strong social connections especially as we grow older. Summary In this conversation, we reflect on the importance of cultural heritage, community support, and nutrition. We discuss practical tips for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, the significance of social connections, and the need for culturally competent healthcare. The conversation highlights the fusion of traditional and modern dietary practices, the impact of social isolation, and the importance of staying active and engaged as one ages. So, whether you're in the community or supporting someone who is, stay tuned for an informative and empowering episode. NB: this information does not replace personalised advice from a Health Care Professional Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Positive Ageing 00:48 Cultural Perspectives on Ageing Well 06:03 Challenges Faced by African and Caribbean Communities 12:06 Health and Wellness in Ageing 17:51 Practical Tips for Healthy Living 29:53 Community Connection and Social Engagement Key takeaways Cultural values play a crucial role in ageing well. Community support is essential for older adults. Social isolation is a significant challenge for ageing individuals. Maintaining strong family ties contributes to well-being. Portion control can be managed by using smaller plates. Food should be enjoyed as a social occasion. Hydration is vital for health, especially in colder climates. Changing mindsets about aging can improve quality of life. Loneliness is a prevalent issue in the community. Resources like NHS and Age UK can provide valuable information.

The Power Of Podcasts

As we come to the end of our first series of The Empowered Podcast, we’re so excited to have a podcast legend to help us go out with a bang. If you’ve listened to Don’t Tell Me The Score, then you’ll know exactly who we’re talking about…Simon Mundie! He’s an individual who has interviewed some of the most incredible sports stars of our time and some of the world’s most successful people. From studying Broadcast Journalism at Leeds University combined with his love for tennis, he started out as a roving reporter for Radio Wimbledon covering the Championships in 2007. Since then, he’s gone from strength to strength in his broadcasting and radio career. He’s been a news, sport and entertainment journalist for Absolute Radio, pitch side reporter for IMG Premier League Productions, and for the last 11 years he’s been a regular presenter and reporter for the BBC. Not to mention, Founder and Owner of his critically acclaimed podcast ‘Don’t Tell Me The Score’, which uses sport to answer some of life’s bigger questions. His podcast draws upon the sporting elite and biggest thinkers lessons, as he believes in helping others to ‘show up’ as a champion every day. He’s had the pleasure in chatting to the likes of; Jonny Wilkinson, Joe Wickes, Dame Kelly Holmes, Sir Clive Woodward, Sir Alastair Cook and Caitlyn Jenner to name a few! Simon talks very candidly about some of the highs and lows of his career and the importance of following your intuition, which played a very crucial role when he took the big leap in going self-employed and starting up Mundie Mundial during a pandemic, over the ‘safe option’ of leaving the BBC. As well as broadcaster, Simon is now known as a Life Coach, motivational speaker, podcast producer and author to boot – he just finished writing his first book at the time of this podcast recording.
