This disconnection arises from external factors like colonization, globalization, and industrialization, impacting physical and psychological well-being. The lack of access to traditional diets leads to chronic illnesses and emotional distress, demonstrating the importance of reconnecting with ancestral food practices. Healing involves restoring traditional foodways and practices to rebuild cultural ties, identity, and overall health.
