Staying healthy doesn’t always require expensive supplements. Many Nigerian meals are packed with natural nutrients that help the body fight diseases and stay strong.
1. Efo Riro (Vegetable Soup)
Made with spinach, ugu, or bitter leaf, it is rich in vitamins and iron that boost blood and immunity.
2. Beans (Ewa Riro or Moi-Moi)
Beans are high in protein and fiber, helping the body repair tissues and stay energized.
3. Pap with Milk and Groundnut
A simple but powerful combo—pap provides carbs, milk adds calcium, and groundnut gives healthy fats.
4. Okra Soup
Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that support digestion and immunity.
5. Ofada Rice with Sauce
Whole grains like ofada rice are healthier than white rice and help maintain a strong immune system.
Eating right is one of the cheapest ways to protect yourself against common illnesses.
