Emindenini eminingi, inkinga yokudla kwezingane iphenduka impi yangempela yezizukulwane. Ingane yenqaba lapho bemnika isipinashi noma i-broccoli, igoqa izigcawu ezitolo ezinkulu, imcela ukuthi athenge ama-lollipops, ushokoledi, u-ayisikhilimu. Imikhiqizo enjalo iyalutha ngenxa yezithasiselo. Manje sekufakazelwe ngokwesayensi ukuthi ukuthola izingane zidle izithelo nemifino empeleni kulula kakhulu.
Imiphumela yocwaningo lwase-Australia yabonisa ukuthi ingane izothula futhi ikujabulele ukudla imifino uma umzali enakekela ukunikeza ukudla. I-Center for Deep Sensory Science e-Deakin University yahlola ithiyori yayo eqenjini lezingane ezingama-72 zasenkulisa. Ingane ngayinye ebambe iqhaza ocwaningweni yanikezwa isitsha esingamagremu angu-500 sezaqathi ezihlutshiwe ngosuku olulodwa kanye nenani elifanayo lezaqathi ezivele zigayiwe ngakusasa, kodwa ngesimo sokuthi zidinga ukudla imifino eminingi ngendlela ezifuna ngayo emizuzwini eyi-10.
Kuvele ukuthi izingane bezizimisele ngokudla izaqathe ezihlutshiwe kuneziqotshiwe.
“Ngokujwayelekile, lokhu kusho ukuthi izingane zidle imifino engaphelele ngo-8 kuya ku-10% kuneyedayisi. Kulula futhi kubazali abangakwazi ukufaka isanqante esiphelele noma enye imifino edliwa kalula noma isithelo esitsheni sokudla,” kusho uthisha omkhulu eNyuvesi yaseDikan uDkt. Guy Liem.
Lokhu kuqinisekisa ucwaningo lwangaphambilini olwathi uma unokudla okuningi epuletini lakho, kulapho ufuna ukukudla kakhulu ngesikhathi sokudla kwakho.
“Kungenzeka ukuthi le miphumela ingachazwa ngokuchema kwamayunithi, lapho iyunithi ethile idala izinga lokusebenzisa elitshela umuntu ukuthi kufanele adle malini. Esimeni lapho izingane zidle isanqante eyodwa, okungukuthi, iyunithi eyodwa, zazicabanga kusengaphambili ukuthi zizoyiqeda,” kwengeza uLiem.
Akukhona nje ukuthi lokhu kutholakala okuncane kungasetshenziswa ukuze izingane zidle imifino nezithelo eziningi, kodwa lokhu "iqhinga" lingasetshenziswa futhi esimweni esiphambene, lapho abazali befuna ukuncelisa izingane ekudleni ukudla okungenamsoco.
"Ngokwesibonelo, ukudla ushokoledi ngezingcezu ezincane kunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kukashokoledi jikelele," kusho uDkt. Liem.
Ngakho-ke, uma unikeza ingane yakho amaswidi nokudla okungenamsoco akuthandayo, usike izingcezu noma uhlukaniswe izingcezu ezincane, uzowadla kancane, ngoba ubuchopho bakhe abuqondi ukuthi udla kangakanani ngempela.
Ucwaningo lwangaphambilini lubonisa ukuthi izingane ezidla imifino ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa zivame ukuzizwa zingcono ngakusasa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, intuthuko yengane incike ekudleni. Ososayensi base-Australia bacwaninga ubudlelwano phakathi kokudla nokusebenza kwesikole futhi bathola ukuthi ukwanda kokusetshenziswa kwemifino kube nomthelela ekusebenzeni kangcono kwesikole.
"Imiphumela isinika ukuqonda okuthakazelisayo ngendima edlalwa ukudla okudliwayo ekukhiqizeni ulwazi olusha," kusho umlobi ohola ucwaningo uTracey Burroughs.
