Uma ugibela izitimela esitolo, uvame ukubhekana nesinqumo esibalulekile: Ingabe kufanele uthenge ukudla okuphilayo, njengezithelo eziphilayo kanye nemifino, noma izithelo nemifino ejwayelekile njengendlela yokuvikela umdlavuza? Thola amaqiniso, ngezansi.
Ukudla okunomsoco we-Organic Vs. Ukudla okungewona okwenziwa yi-Organic
Okokuqala, izinguqulo eziphilayo nezingezona eziphilayo zokudla okufanayo zilingana ngokulingana nenani lomsoco.
Ngamanye amazwi, ibhanki ephilayo oyidla kulokhu ekuseni ngeke inikeze umsoco ongcono kunobhanana ongewona owenziwe esitolo.
Umehluko wezintengo nokufinyeleleka
Imikhiqizo ye-Organic ayitholakali ngaso sonke isikhathi kuzo zonke izitolo, futhi ibiza okungenani kunokukhiqiza okungewona okwenyama. Ngakho-ke uma uthengisa ngesabelomali esiqinile, lokho kuyinto efanelekile yokucubungula.
Ziyingozi Kangakanani Ama-pesticides?
Izithelo nemifino ye-organic ayizange ibonakale kuma-pesticides nakumakhemikhali, kodwa izithelo nemifino ejwayelekile yenziwe. Lokhu kusho ukuthini impilo yakho?
Amakhemikhali asetshenziselwa ukudla okungewona okwenziwe ngokwemvelo asefundisiwe ngokuphelele. Ukuvumelana phakathi kwezifundo ezinkulu ezibuyekezwa kontanga ukuthi ukudla izithelo nemifino okungewona izithelo akulimazi empilweni yakho. Kodwa-ke, leli phuzu liphikisana ngabagqugquzeli bokudla eziphilayo, kanti abanye abantu benqaba ukukholelwa ukuthi lezi zokudla ziphephile ukudla.
Ngokusekelwe kwedatha yesayensi etholakalayo namuhla, abukho ubufakazi obuyophoqelela i-FDA ne-USDA ukushintsha imithethonqubo yabo mayelana nokusetshenziswa kwezibulala-zinambuzane namanye amakhemikhali ekukhiqizeni kwezolimo.
Uma isetshenziswe emandleni amabi, izibulala-zinambuzane kanye nokubulala imithi kungalimaza empilweni yakho.
Kodwa-ke, inani lokuhlala kwamakhemikhali elitholakala ezitsheni nemifino liphansi. Futhi kuyancipha uma ugeza futhi uhlahlela umkhiqizo wakho ngaphambi kokuwudla, okunconywa. (Ngendlela, kufanele uhlanze nemikhiqizo ye-organic, futhi, ngoba ingasisiza ekuqedeni noma yikuphi ukungcola, izingcezu zezimbungulu, namabhaktheriya afana noListeria, uSalmonella, no-E. coli.) Kuzo zonke, ochwepheshe abaningi bayavuma ukuthi Izinzuzo zokudla okunomsoco wokudla izithelo nemifino zidlula noma iyiphi ingozi encane yokudliwa kwamakhemikhali ngamakhemikhali angakhuli kahle.
Ukuvimbela I-Cancer
I-American Cancer Society incoma ukudla okugcwele izithelo nemifino eminingi ukusiza ukunciphisa ingozi yomdlavuza. Ingabe umkhiqizo wenyama usiza ekuvimbeleni umdlavuza ngaphezu kokukhiqiza okungewona okwenyama? Nakhu okushiwo inhlangano ngalokhu.
"Igama elithi organic isetshenziswa ngokujwayelekile ukuveza ukudla okutshalwe ngaphandle kokubulala izinambuzane kanye nokuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo. Ngalesi sikhathi, akekho ucwaningo olukhona lokubonisa ukuthi ukudla okunjalo kuphumelela kakhulu ekunciphiseni ingozi yomdlavuza kunokudla okufanayo okukhiqizwa ezinye izindlela zokulima."
Okubalulekile
Uma imali engeyona into, noma ucabanga ukuthi ukudla okunomsoco kunambitheka kangcono, noma ufuna ukusekela imikhuba yezolimo eziphilayo, noma ukholelwa ukuthi ucwaningo lwesikhathi esizayo luzobonisa ukuthi ukudla okuphilayo kuyakungcono ngomzimba, ngakho-ke, ngazo zonke izindlela , thenga okuphilayo.
Kodwa ngezikhathi ezincane, izithelo ezindala ezijwayelekile nezindwangu ziyisinqumo esiphephile kanye nezinye zokudla okungcono ongazifaka emzimbeni wakho.
Zama ukudla izithelo nemifino emihlanu kuya kweziyisishiyagalolunye ngosuku. Ngokwe-Produce for Better Health Foundation, i-American average idla kuphela 43% yesamba esinconywayo sezithelo futhi kuphela 57% yemali ephakanyisiwe yemifino. Ngakho-ke noma uthenga umkhiqizo ophilayo noma ongewona ophilayo, zama ukugcwalisa isigamu sakho epulatifini ngaso sonke isikhathi esidla ngezithelo ezimibalabala, izithelo ezinomsoco kanye nemigodi.
Funda mayelana nezinsizakalo ezijwayelekile zokukhonza izithelo nemifino eminingi ethandwayo, nokuthi ungangena kanjani ekudleni kwakho kwansuku zonke.
