Ukuze uphile isikhathi eside, udinga ukuthola izakhamzimba ezanele. Umzimba wakho ungumshini futhi udinga "uphethiloli", ngaphandle kwalokho imisebenzi yawo izothinteka kabi. Kunabantu abaxakeke ngokuthatha amavithamini namaminerali ezithakweni, ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi bondlekile ngokuphelele. Kodwa kungani ungagxili ekuthuthukiseni ukudla kwakho? Yilokhu elikwembulayo isifundo esisha, eyanyatheliswa kuyi-Annals of Internal Medicine. Baze baphawule ngokuthi ukwesekwa ngamaphilisi akusizi futhi kungandisa amathuba okuba nomdlavuza noma ukufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi.
Ingabe kunomehluko phakathi kwezakhamzimba ezivela ezithasiselweni nalezo ezitholakala ekudleni?
Ocwaningweni, ososayensi baseNyuvesi yaseTufts bahlole idatha evela kwabesilisa nabesifazane abangaphezu kuka-27.000 ukuze bafunde ukuxhumana phakathi kokusetshenziswa kwezithako zokudla nokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi, isifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi nomdlavuza. Baphinde babheka ukuthi imali esetshenzisiwe iyahambisana yini nokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi, baphinde babone umehluko phakathi kwezakhamzimba eziphuma ezithanjeni noma ekudleni.
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi ukudla amanani anconyiwe we uvithamini K kanye ne-magnesium kwakuhlotshaniswa nengozi ephansi yokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi; inani elihle i-vitamin A, i-vitamin K ne-zinc kubonakala kusivikela ekubulaweni yisifo senhliziyo, kanye i-calcium eyeqile kwakuxhunyaniswa nengozi eyengeziwe yokufa ngenxa yomdlavuza.
Okuhlekisayo wukuthi bathi uma bebheka kancane babona ukuthi ngeke isetshenziswe kuzo zonke izindawo. Empeleni, umsuka wemisoco unendaba. Eqinisweni, kwatholakala ukuthi zonke izinzuzo zokudla okunomsoco zatholakala lapho abantu bedla la mavithamini namaminerali ekudleni. Lapho ama-micronutrients esetshenziswa kusetshenziswa izithasiselo, izinzuzo zazingafani. Isibonelo, ukuthatha i-calcium supplement (1.000 mg nsuku zonke) kwakuxhunyaniswa nengozi eyengeziwe yokufa ngenxa yomdlavuza. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukusetshenziswa okuphezulu kwale mineral ngokudla akuzange kube yingozi empilweni.
Kungani kungcono ukungenisa izakhamzimba ngokudla?
«Izinzuzo zezempilo zokuthatha izakhi ezanele ziye zaziswa isikhathi eside.kusho umbhali oholayo wokufunda uFang Fang Zhang. «Uma ukuthathwa okwanele kwemisoco ethile ekudleni kuhlotshaniswa nengozi encishisiwe yokufa, kungase kubonise umphumela onenzuzo walezo zakhi empilweni. Kodwa-ke, lokhu futhi kukhombisa ukusebenzisana okuyinkimbinkimbi phakathi kwezakhamzimba eziningi ngaphakathi kokudla kunokudla okukodwa.".
Lokho wukuthi, i i-magnesio kuhle uma sikuthatha kanye nawo wonke ama-compounds atholakala okusanhlamvu noma imifino; kodwa ingaba yingozi uma siyihlukanisa futhi sisebenzise kabi umthamo wayo ngendlela yephilisi.
Ngalokhu siyabona ukuthi kungani isithasiselo singakwazi ukunxephezela iqiniso lokuthi asidli ngendlela efanele. Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi izithasiselo azizange ziguqule ingozi yokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi kubantu abadla izakhamzimba eziphansi.
Mhlawumbe sekuyisikhathi sokucabangela ukudla kwakho futhi uyeke ukucabanga ngezithako zokudla. Thola imikhuba emihle ekhishini futhi uyihlanganise nezinqubo zokuzivocavoca umzimba. Uma ungazi ukuthi uhlela kanjani uwedwa, hamba kuchwepheshe ukuze akweluleke.
