A calm, Ghana-friendly approach

Market Fresh brings simple ideas that fit local routines — colourful plates built from familiar foods, unhurried meals, and water within reach.

It’s not about strict rules. Choose what is available, notice taste and texture, and keep a relaxed pace at the table.

Keep a bottle visible. Take a few sips when you change tasks or before you plate your meal.

Everyday tips

  • Build your plate with at least two colours you enjoy.
  • Sit away from screens for a few minutes and eat at a relaxed pace.
  • Prepare a small box of cut fruit or veggies for easy reach.
  • Carry a reusable bottle; small, regular sips are comfortable.
  • End with one slow breath and a note of how the meal felt.
