Kungani abantu bethenga amaswidi?

Kungani abantu bethenga amaswidi? (Ibhokisi lamaswidi)

 Ushukela, i-carbohydrate elula enikeza umthombo wamandla osheshayo emzimbeni, utholakala ekudleni naseziphuzweni eziningi esizidla nsuku zonke—kusukela ezithelweni, imifino nemikhiqizo yobisi, kuya kumaswidi, amakhekhe kanye namanye ama-dessert.

Imikhosi efana noSuku Lukaphayi Lukazwelonke olusanda kuqashelwa (Jan. 23) kanye noSuku Lukakhekhe Lwe-Chocolate Lukazwelonke (Jan. 27) isimema ukuba sizitike ngezinto ezimnandi—kodwa yini esibangela ukuba sifise ukudla okunoshukela?

 Ukuze kuqondwe kangcono imiphumela kashukela emzimbeni nangokwengqondo, i-Daily ikhulume noLindsay Malone, umfundisi eMnyangweni Wezokudla eCase Western Reserve University.

1. Ama-taste bud asabela kanjani ngqo kushukela emzimbeni? Yiziphi izici ezibangela ukuba abantu babe nezifiso zokudla okunoshukela?

Unama-receptor okunambitha emlonyeni wakho nasemathunjini asabela kumaswidi. La ma-receptor okunambitha adlulisela ulwazi ngemicu yokuzwa (noma imicu yezinzwa) ezindaweni ezithile ebuchosheni ezihilelekile ekuboneni ukunambitha. Kunezinhlobo ezine zamaseli okunambitha okunambitha okutholakalayo okumnandi, okumnandi, okubabayo nokumuncu.

Ukudla okuvuselela uhlelo lomvuzo ebuchosheni bakho, njengoshukela nokunye ukudla okwandisa ushukela egazini lakho, kungaholela ekufiseni. Ukudla okumnandi kakhulu (lokho okumnandi, okunosawoti, okukhilimu futhi okulula ukukudla) kungavusa nama-hormone afaka isandla ekufiseni—njenge-insulin, i-dopamine, i-ghrelin kanye ne-leptin.

2. Iyiphi indima edlalwa ubuchopho enjabulweni ehambisana nokudla ukudla okumnandi, futhi lokhu kunomthelela kanjani esifisweni sokudla okunoshukela omningi?(Ibhokisi lamaswidi)

Isimiso sakho sezinzwa esiyinhloko sixhumene kakhulu nomgudu wakho wokugaya ukudla. Amanye amaseli e-flavour receptor nawo akhona emathunjini akho, ngakho-ke uma udla ukudla okumnandi futhi ushukela wegazi ukhuphuka ubuchopho bakho buthi: “lokhu kuhle, ngiyakuthanda lokhu. Qhubeka nokwenza lokhu.”

Sidalwe ngendlela yokuthi sifune amandla asheshayo uma kwenzeka kuba nendlala noma sidinga amandla engeziwe ukuze sibalekele esakhiweni esishayo noma ingwe. Izakhi zethu zofuzo azikashintshi ngokushesha njengendawo esikuyo. Sakha nobudlelwano nokudla okuthuthukisa izifiso. Cabanga nge-donut nekhofi yakho yasekuseni. Uma lokhu kungumkhuba wakho ojwayelekile, akumangazi ukuthi ubungafuna i-donut njalo uma uphuza ikhofi. Ubuchopho bakho bubona ikhofi bese buqala ukuzibuza ukuthi ikuphi i-donut.

3. Yiziphi ezinye izinzuzo kanye nezingozi ezingaba khona zokusetshenziswa kukashukela?(Ibhokisi lamaswidi)

Ushukela ungaba usizo kwezemidlalo, ekuzivocavoceni, kubasubathi njll. Ngaphambi komcimbi, ekuzivocavoceni okunzima noma emncintiswaneni, imithombo kashukela okulula ukuyigaya ingaba usizo. Izohlinzeka ngophethiloli osheshayo wemisipha ngaphandle kokunciphisa ukugaya ukudla. Uju, isiraphu ye-maple emsulwa, izithelo ezomisiwe, nezithelo ezingenayo i-fiber eningi (njengobhanana namagilebhisi) kungasiza ngalokhu.

Izinkinga ezihambisana nokudla ushukela ziyanda ngenxa yokungawuvivinyi umzimba. Ushukela owengeziwe, ushukela owengeziwe kanye namanye ama-carbohydrate alula njengofulawa omhlophe kanye nejusi elingu-100% kuhlotshaniswa nokubola kwamazinyo, i-metabolic syndrome, ukuvuvukala, i-hyperglycemia (noma ushukela ophezulu wegazi), isifo sikashukela, ukumelana ne-insulin, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, ukukhuluphala, isifo senhliziyo, ngisho nesifo i-Alzheimer's. Ngezinye izikhathi, ubuhlobo buyimbangela; ngezinye izikhathi, buyingxenye eyodwa eqenjini lezici eziholela ezifweni.

4. Singakha kanjani ubudlelwano obunempilo nokudla okumnandi ngokudla ngokucophelela?(Ibhokisi lamaswidi)

Amanye amathiphu afaka phakathi ukudla kancane, ukuhlafuna kahle nokujabulela ukudla kwethu. Kubalulekile futhi ukuzibandakanya nokudla kwethu noma ngabe kungenzeka kanjani—kungaba ngokusebenza engadini, ukuhlela ukudla, ukuthenga noma ukupheka nokubhaka. Ukuzenzela ukudla kwethu kusenza silawule ushukela esiwudlayo.

5. Ngokuphathelene nokulinganisela, yini esingayenza ukuze silawule kangcono ukunxanela ushukela?(Ibhokisi lamaswidi)

Kunezindlela ezine engizincomayo zokunciphisa ukuthembela kushukela:

 Yidla ukudla okuphelele, okungacutshungulwanga kahle. Ubuningi, i-fiber kanye namaprotheni kungasiza ekunciphiseni ukwanda kwe-insulin kanye nokulangazelela ukudla.

Susa imithombo kashukela eyengeziwe. Yeka ukufaka ushukela, isiraphu, izinto eziswidi zokwenziwa ekudleni. Funda amalebula bese ukhetha imikhiqizo engenashukela owengeziwe. Lokhu kuvame ukufaka iziphuzo, ukhilimu wekhofi, isosi yespaghetti kanye nezinongo.

Phuza iziphuzo ezingenashukela kakhulu njengamanzi, i-seltzer, itiye lezitshalo kanye nekhofi.

Hlala umatasa futhi ulondoloze ukwakheka okuhle komzimba, njengamafutha omzimba kanye nemisipha enempilo. Imisipha isebenzisa ushukela wegazi ojikelezayo futhi isiza ekulweni nokumelana ne-insulin. Umphumela wokugcina uba ukulawula ushukela egazini okungcono ngokuncipha nokwehla kancane.
