Ubudlelwano besikhathi eside buba nezikhathi ezimnandi nezingezinhle. Angase aqukathe imikhuba, ukuziphatha kanye nokucabanga okungahambisani nhlobo nenhlalakahle nempilo. Ukubona lokhu futhi ufisa ushintsho, udinga ukwenza isinqumo: hambani noguquko ndawonye noma namukele ukuthi izindlela zenu zehlukene.
U-Natasha no-Luca, umbhangqwana wase-Australia owahlangana eneminyaka engu-10 futhi waba umbhangqwana lapho beneminyaka engu-18, banquma ukwenza i-introspection yentuthuko yomuntu siqu kanye nokubukeza indlela, okwagcina kubaholele ekuphileni okunempilo okungaguquki kanye nokugcwaliseka kwangaphakathi. Nokho, lolu shintsho aluzange lwenzeke kubo ngokuphazima kweso. Kwake kwaba khona ugwayi, utshwala, ukudla okungenamsoco, ukunganeliseki okungapheli ngokwenzekayo. Kwaze kwaba nezinkinga zempilo ezingathi sína, ezilandelwa ezinye izinkinga zomuntu siqu. Isinqumo esinesibindi sokushintsha izimpilo zabo ngamadigri angu-180 yisona esisindise umbhangqwana wabo.
Izinguquko zaqala ngo-2007. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, uNatasha noLuka baye bahlala emazweni amaningi, befunda izindlela ezihlukahlukene zokuphila. Njengoba bengama-minimalist nabathanda indlela yokuphila enempilo, lo mbhangqwana waya ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene zomhlaba, lapho bafundisa khona i-yoga nesiNgisi, benza i-Reiki, basebenza emapulazini e-organic, kanye nezingane ezikhubazekile.
Saqala ukudla izitshalo eziningi ngenxa yezizathu zempilo, kodwa isici sokuziphatha sengeziwe ngemva kokubuka ividiyo ka-Gary Jurowski ethi “The Best Speech Ever” ku-YouTube. Kwakuyisikhathi esibalulekile ohambweni lwethu lokuqwashisa nokuqonda ukuthi ukwenqatshwa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane akukhona kangako ngempilo, kodwa kumayelana nokubanga umonakalo omncane emhlabeni osizungezile.
Lapho sihamba nge-vegan, sasidla kakhulu ukudla okuphelele, kodwa ukudla kwethu kwakusenamafutha amaningi. Izinhlobonhlobo zamafutha emifino, amantongomane, imbewu, ukwatapheya kanye nokhukhunathi. Ngenxa yalokho, izinkinga zempilo esihlangabezane nazo ku-omnivore kanye nemifino ziqhubekile. Kwaze kwaba yilapho ukudla kwethu sekushintshelwa uhlobo “lokudla olunama-carbs amaningi, amafutha amancane” lapho mina no-Luka saqala ukuzizwa singcono futhi sijabulela zonke izinzuzo ezitholakala ngokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni.
Uhlelo lokudla olujwayelekile: izithelo eziningi ekuseni, i-oatmeal enezicucu zebhanana namajikijolo; isidlo sasemini - irayisi nama-lentils, ubhontshisi, ummbila noma imifino, kanye nemifino; ngesidlo sakusihlwa, njengomthetho, into ethile yamazambane, noma i-pasta enamakhambi. Manje sizama ukudla njengokudla okulula ngangokunokwenzeka, kodwa ngezikhathi ezithile, kunjalo, singakwazi ukuziphatha nge-curry, ama-noodle nama-vegan burgers.
Ngokushintsha ukudla kwethu kube ukudla okunama-carbohydrate amaningi, ikakhulukazi aphelele, nokudla okunamafutha amancane, sasusa izinto eziningi ezingathi sína, njenge-candidiasis, isifuba somoya, ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile, ukuqunjelwa, ukukhathala okungapheli, ukungagayeki kahle kokudla kanye nezikhathi ezibuhlungu. Kupholile ngendlela emangalisayo: sizizwa sengathi siba basha njengoba sikhula. Akukaze kube nenani elinjalo lamandla esinawo manje (mhlawumbe kuphela ebuntwaneni 🙂).
Ngamafuphi, yeka ukudla noma yimiphi imikhiqizo yezilwane. Abanye bakhetha ukuyeka inyama ngesinyathelo ngesinyathelo (okokuqala obomvu, bese umhlophe, bese kuba inhlanzi, amaqanda, njalonjalo), kodwa, ngokombono wethu, ukuguqulwa okunjalo kunzima nakakhulu. Uma ukunambitheka kwesilwane kukhona emzimbeni wakho (kungakhathaliseki ukuthi hlobo luni), kunzima kakhulu ukwenqaba ngokuphelele. Indlela engcono kakhulu futhi eyanele ukuthola okulinganayo kwezitshalo.
I-Yoga iyithuluzi elihle lokuphumula nokuxhumana nomhlaba. Lona umkhuba wonke umuntu angakwazi futhi okufanele awenze. Akudingekile nakancane ukuba yi-yogi “epump” ukuze uqale ukuzwa umphumela wayo. Eqinisweni, i-yoga ethambile futhi ehamba kancane imvamisa iyilokho kanye okudingwa ngumuntu ohlala esigqi esisheshayo somhlaba wanamuhla.
Sasivame ukubhema ugwayi omningi, siphuza utshwala, sidla konke esingakwenza, silala sekwephuzile, singazivocavoci futhi singabathengi abavamile. Sasihluke ngokuphelele kulokho esiyikho manje.
I-Minimalism imelela izimpilo, ezintweni esinazo kanye nayo yonke impahla esinayo. Kusho nokuthi umuntu akazenzisi ngesiko lokudla. I-Minimalism imayelana nokuphila okulula. Lapha sithanda ukucaphuna uMahatma Gandhi: Yiba nalokho okudingayo ngempela esikhundleni sokuqongelela lokho ocabanga ukuthi uyakudinga. Mhlawumbe kunezizathu ezimbili ezenza abantu babe nentshisekelo embonweni wempilo omncane:
Nakuba lezi zinhloso zizinhle, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi ukuhlela izinto zakho, ukuba nendawo yokusebenzela ehlanzekile, kanye nokunciphisa imfucuza kumane kuyiphuzu leqhwa. Iqiniso liwukuthi ukudla esikudlayo kunethonya elikhulu kakhulu ekuphileni kwethu nasendaweni ezungezile kunanoma yini enye. Saqala indlela yethu eya ku-minimalism ngisho nangaphambi kokuba sazi ukuthi igama elithi "vegan" likhona! Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, sabona ukuthi la magama amabili ahambisana kahle.
Nakanjani. Lezi zenzakalo ezintathu ezibalwe ngenhla zisishintshile: sisuka kubantu abangenampilo nabangenelisekile, sibe yilabo abakhathalela imvelo. Sabona isidingo sokusiza abanye. Futhi-ke, baqala ukuzizwa bebahle. Manje umsebenzi wethu oyinhloko umsebenzi we-inthanethi - isiteshi se-YouTube, ukubonisana ngokudla okunempilo, ama-e-books, ukusebenza ezinkundleni zokuxhumana - lapho sizama ukudlulisela kubantu umbono wokuqwashisa ukuze kuzuze isintu, izilwane kanye nomhlaba wonke.
