Ngabe ungaba "umlutha" woshukela futhi wehluleke ukulawula ukusetshenziswa kwakho? Ababhali bezincwadi ezithandwayo namawebhusayithi bathi iyakwenza, kepha kuze kube manje ayikho idatha yesayensi evela ezifundweni zabantu ukuyisekela.

Siyazi ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kukashukela kuyakhuthaza izindawo zobuchopho ezihambisana ne umvuzo futhi fun. Kodwa ingabe ziyefana nalezo ezenziwa zisebenzise izidakamizwa? Ukuhlolwa okwenziwe kumagundane kukhombisa, ngokungaqondile, ukuthi kunjalo. Ngempela, ukusetshenziswa okukhulu kukashukela kuvusa izindawo ezifanayo ne Izidakamizwa, noma ama- “opioid” receptors^2,3.

Ngokwengeziwe, izivivinyo zezilwane zixhumanise ukusetshenziswa kakhulu koshukela engozini eyandayo yokuphuza izidakamizwa ezinzima futhi okuphambene nalokho.². Ngo-2002, abacwaningi base-Italy babona izimpawu kanye nokuziphatha okufana nalokho kwe- a ukulunyulwa kumagundane ancishwe ukudla amahora ayi-12, ngaphambi nangemva kokuthola ukufinyelela emanzini amnandi kakhulu⁴. Yize le miphumela ingahlinzeka ngezindlela zokuqonda kangcono nokwelapha ukuphazamiseka kokudla njenge-bulimia, zihlala zilinga kakhulu.

Ingabe "ukufisa ushukela" kuyisibonakaliso sokulutha? Ngeke kube khona ukuthembela ngokwemvelo kanjalo, ngokusho kwesazi sokudla uHélène Baribeau. “Enkambeni yami, ngithola ukuthi abantu abanoshukela oqinile kakhulu yilabo abangadli ngendlela elinganiselayo, abanezikhathi zokudla ezingajwayelekile, abadla ukudla noma ababekela eceleni isikhathi sabo sokudla kakhulu, uyacacisa. Lapho lokhu kungalingani kulungiswa, ukunambitheka koshukela kuyaphela. "

Isazi sokudla ukhumbula ukuthi ushukela yiyona eyinhloko uphethiloli du Ubuchopho. "Uma kunethonsi elincane likashukela emzimbeni, kuqala ubuchopho obuntulayo," esho. Ukunambitheka koshukela kuza kuleli qophelo, kuhambisana nokwehla kokugxila nokucasuka ”. Ngokuyinhloko, uphakamisa ukuthatha ukudla okulula, ukuze ungancishi umzimba ukudla isikhathi esingaphezu kwamahora amane alandelanayo.

Kulabo abayimilutha yokunambitheka okumnandi, izici ezingokwengqondo kunokuba umzimba ungadlala. “Ukudla okumnandi kungubumnandi obuhambisana nobumnandi futhi abantu 'bangaba umlutha' walokho,” kusho uHélène Baribeau.

Ukudla okumnandi empeleni kuthathwa njengomvuzo, ngokusho kukaSimone Lemieux, umcwaningi e-Institute of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (INAF)⁵. “Izingane zifunda ukuthi uma ziqeda ukudla noma nemifino yazo, zizolungela ukuthola uphudingi, kwezinye izimo, ziklonyeliswa ngokubanikeza uswidi. Lolu qeqesho lubenza bakwazi ukuhlanganisa ukudla okunoshukela nenduduzo kanti lo mbhalo uhlala unamandla kakhulu, ”usho kanje.

Ngabe lokhu kuncika kwengqondo kuncane kangako kunokuncika komzimba futhi ingabe kunzima ukuselapha? Singacabanga ukuthi yonke into incike ekuqineni kwayo nasemiphumeleni yayo okhalweni lwawo wonke umuntu.
