Nutritionists have repeatedly advised that if we all minded what we eat, we would not need to visit healthcare facilities as regularly as we do. Unfortunately, most people eat to get satisfied and feel good without caring about the nutritional contents of the food they consume.
In many cases, these unhealthy diets have led to life challenges such as a high prevalence of non-communicable diseases among people of all ages.
This is what the founders of Lyfex Africa seek to address.
Lyfex Africa is a digital platform dedicated to empowering individuals and families across Africa to achieve optimal nutrition health and wellness through comprehensive nutrition therapy and NutriFinTrancy services.
According to Nadia Malker Nanteza, the Team Lead at Lyfex Africa, through their latest proposition called LA-NutriFin, they are offering a comprehensive nutrition solution powered by FinTech to improve user convenience.
“When you visit our website, you will see different nutrition solutions we offer. You choose and order the package you need and then proceed to pay via mobile money or a bank card. Our team will confirm the booking and the experts will contact you for a session; which can be a physical session or a tele-nutrition session,” Nadia said.
Nadia emphasizes the challenges people face in managing their nutrition due to their busy lives. She notes that many individuals only start to pay attention to their dietary habits after being diagnosed with a condition that necessitates dietary restrictions.
To address this, LA-NutriFin provides convenience, allowing users to access all necessary resources digitally. “We work with a wide range of professionals to offer consultation and sensitization about proper nutritional behavior and solutions for people of all ages,” she added.
Lyfex Africa featured on Day 12 of the 40 Days 40 FinTechs initiative Season 5.
