Some Africans eat sand, a practice known as geophagy, for various cultural, nutritional, or psychological reasons. In certain regions, it is believed to help with digestion or to supplement mineral deficiencies, particularly in communities where food options are limited. Additionally, it can be a way to cope with stress or hunger. However, it's important to note that this practice can pose health risks if the sand contains harmful substances or pathogens.
