Impahla kaMongameli wase-Brooklyn Borough u-Eric L. Adams ayihlukanga nhlobo: isiqandisi esikhulu esigcwele izithelo nemifino emisha, itafula lapho axuba khona izithako zamakhambi ukuze adle nokudla kwakhe okulula, uhhavini ovamile, nesitofu esishisayo aphekela kuso. . Ephasishi kukhona ibhayisikili elimile, i-simulator esebenzayo kanye nebha evundlile elengayo. I-laptop ibekwe endaweni yokuma yomshini, ngakho-ke u-Adams angasebenza kahle ngesikhathi sokujima.
Ezinyangeni eziyisishagalombili ezedlule, inhloko yalesi sifunda yahlolwa ngodokotela ngenxa yezinhlungu ezinzima zesisu wathola ukuthi unesifo sikashukela sohlobo lokuqala. Isilinganiso sikashukela egazini sasiphezulu kangangokuthi udokotela wazibuza ukuthi kungani isiguli sasingakaquleki. Izinga le-hemoglobin A1C (ukuhlolwa kwaselabhorethri okubonisa izinga likashukela elijwayelekile ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule) lalingu-17%, elicishe liphindwe kathathu kunokuvamile. Kodwa u-Adams akazange alwe nesifo "isitayela saseMelika", ezifaka amathani amaphilisi. Kunalokho, wanquma ukuhlola amakhono omzimba futhi azelaphe.
U-Eric L. Adams, 56, wayengukapteni wamaphoyisa wangaphambili. Manje usedinga isithombe esisha njengoba engasabukeki njengendoda ebhalwe ezingqwembeni ezisemthethweni. Eshintshela ekudleni kwemifino, waqala ukuzilungiselela ukudla nokuzivocavoca nsuku zonke. U-Adams ulahlekelwe cishe amakhilogremu angu-15 futhi welaphe ngokuphelele isifo sikashukela, esingaholela ekuhlaselweni kwenhliziyo, unhlangothi, ukulimala kwezinzwa, ukwehluleka kwezinso, ukulahlekelwa umbono kanye neminye imiphumela. Ezinyangeni ezintathu, uthole ukwehla kwezinga le-A1C kuya kokujwayelekile.
Manje uzama ukwazisa abantu ngangokunokwenzeka mayelana nendlela yokulwa nalesi sifo esihlobene nendlela yokuphila. Selufinyelele emazingeni obhubhane ezweni, futhi ngisho nezingane zihlushwa yilo. Waqala endaweni yangakubo, wenza iloli le-cocktail kanye ne-snacks eBrooklyn. Abadlula ngendlela bangazitika ngamanzi alula, i-dieet soda, ama-smoothie, amantongomane, izithelo ezomisiwe, ama-protein bars kanye nama-whole grain chips.
“Ngangiwuthanda usawoti noshukela, futhi ngokuvamile ngangidla uswidi ukuze ngithole amandla kukho lapho ngizizwa ngiphansi,” kuvuma u-Adams. Kodwa ngathola ukuthi umzimba womuntu uvumelana nezimo ngendlela emangalisayo, futhi ngemva kwamasonto amabili ukuyeka usawoti noshukela, angibange ngisawufisa.”
Ubuye azenzele owakhe u-ayisikhilimu, i-fruit sorbet eyenziwe ngomshini we-Yonanas okwazi ukwenza uphudingi oluqandisiwe nganoma yini oyifunayo.
“Kumele sigxile endleleni yokususa abantu emikhubeni emibi yokudla bese benyakaza. Kumele kwenziwe njengoba senza uma sizama ukubakhipha ezidakamizweni,” kusho u-Adams.
Ucwaningo olusha ngengozi yokuphila unganyakazi, olushicilelwe kumagazini i-Diabetologia, lubonise ukuthi ukuguquka ngezikhathi ezithile ukusuka endaweni yokuhlala kuya kokuma kanye nokuzivocavoca ngokukhanya okukhanyayo kuphumelela nakakhulu kunokuzivocavoca okujwayelekile kwesifunda. Ikakhulukazi kubantu abanesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwe-XNUMX.
Esikhundleni sokumane ajabulele ukunqoba ukugula kwakhe ngokomzimba, u-Adams ukhetha ukubeka isibonelo kwabanye abantu, abanikeze ulwazi mayelana nokudla okunempilo nokuvivinya umzimba.
Uthi: “Angifuni ukuba yi-vegan ecasulayo yawo wonke umuntu. “Ngiyethemba ukuthi uma abantu begxila ekwengezeni ukudla okunempilo emapuletini abo, esikhundleni somuthi ngaphambi nangemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa, bazobona imiphumela ekugcineni.”
U-Adams futhi unethemba lokukhuthaza abantu abaningi ukuba benze izinguquko ezihlakaniphile emphakathini, ukuze nabo bakwazi ukuveza abakufezile, benze izincwadi zezindaba, babhale izincwadi ezinezindlela zokupheka ezinempilo, futhi bafundise umphakathi ngokudla okunempilo. Uhlela ukwethula izifundo zezingane zesikole ukuze kusukela zisencane izingane ziphile impilo enempilo futhi zibukele ukuthi zifaka ini emapuletini azo.
“Impilo iyisisekelo sokuchuma kwethu,” kuqhubeka u-Adams. “Izinguquko engazenza endleleni yami yokudla nendlela yami yokuphila zenza okungaphezu nje kokungikhipha kushukela.”
Induna yesifunda ikhononda ngokulutheka kwabantu abaningi baseMelika ekudleni okugayiwe kanye nokudla kwezindawo zokudlela ezigcwele izithako ezingenampilo. Ngokombono wakhe, le ndlela ivimbela abantu “ubuhlobo obungokomoya” ngokudla abakudlayo. U-Adams uyavuma ukuthi akakaze aziphekele ukudla empilweni yakhe, kodwa manje usethanda ukukwenza futhi usezakhele ugazi ngenqubo yokupheka. Ufunde indlela yokwengeza izinongo ezifana nesinamoni, i-oregano, i-turmeric, ama-clove nezinye eziningi. Ukudla kungaba mnandi ngaphandle kokufakwa kukasawoti kanye noshukela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukudla okunjalo kumnandi futhi kusondele kumuntu.
Iningi labantu abanesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwe-XNUMX linikezwa imishanguzo yokunciphisa inani likashukela egazini elenziwe isibindi futhi likhulise ukuzwela komzimba ku-insulin. Ucwaningo oluningi luye lwabonisa ukuthi ukuncipha kwesisindo (kubantu abakhuluphele ngokweqile), ukudla okuphansi kwama-carbohydrate acolisisiwe kanye noshukela, nokuphila okusebenzayo kuyindlela ephumelela kakhulu yokunciphisa ukuncika emithini futhi kuqedwe izifo.
