Isiko lethu kunalokho lihlala ku-Kool-Aid. Akusilo uhlobo lwangempela, nakuba kunenani elilinganayo lalokho futhi. Ukukhathazeka kwami okwamanje kungumusa ongokomfanekiso, uhlobo lapho "ukuphuza i-Kool-Aid" kusho ukuzithandana nokuqiniseka okunye.
Endabeni yamakholori kanye nezingane zakho, kanye nokuxhumana phakathi kwalababili, kubonakala sengathi kukhona ama-flavour amabili anomncintiswano.
I-FDA, ngokungangabazeki, isebenza eyodwa. Ngokudinga ukuba amakholori athunyelwe kumenyu yamakamelo okudlela kanye nokudla okusetshenziswe ezindaweni zomphakathi ezifana nama-movie yeshashalazi, i-FDA ibonisa ngokucacile ukuthi ukuqwashisa kokuqukethwe kwekhalori kuyasiza. Ulwazi olunembile mayelana ne-khalori, esikhundleni sokuqukethwe kwekhalori ye-cluelessness okucwaningwa okubaluleke kakhulu okubonakalayo emphakathini wethu, kungasiza ngempela abazali ukuba bakhethe izinto ezincane ezingaphansi kwekhalori noma izingxenye ezincane. Lokhu, nakho, kungasiza ekusekeleni ukulinganisela kwamandla alinganisayo, nokulawula isisindo.
Ukukholelwa ngokuncintisana ukuthi amakholori ayilutho. Ngokweqile, le mpikiswano-isakazwa kokubili ukubhala kwamasiko kanye nokuhlaziywa kontanga-izimbulunga ukuthi ikhalori ayilona ikhalori, nokuthi ukunakekelwa kwekhalori kuyisenzo sokungazi lutho.
Ukuncoma kwami ukuthi awuphuzi noma yikuphi ukuhluka kwalokhu ku-Kool-Aid ethile, noma yikuphi okuqukethwe kwekhalori.
Yebo, ikhalori ikhalori. Yebo, amakholori abala. Kodwa yebo, ukugxila okukhethwa kukho ngokukhethwa kwamakholori kungaholela enkingeni enkulu.
Ama-calories ayenesizathu esicacile kunazo zonke. Ziyisilinganiso samandla agcinwe umzimba ongawasebenzisa ukuqhuba imisebenzi yawo ehlukene, noma ukukhula. Lokho kukhula kungaba okuqondile, noma okuqondile.
Esikhathini sobudala besifo (noma ngaphezulu ngokunembile, manje ukuthi amazinga aphezulu abe yinto evamile, "ukuhlukumeza") ukukhuluphala kwengane ebuntwaneni, iningi lethu linesizathu sokukhathazeka ngokukhula kwezinhlobonhlobo ezingezansi - ezinganeni zethu nabazukulu, kanye ngokwethu. Ukuncipha kwama-khalori yilokho okushicilela ukukhula okungafuneki kwamafutha omzimba kanye nokulinganisela okungcono kwekhaloriki kuzokuvikela ngokuqinile kulokho.
Inkinga ngekhalori ukuthumela ukuthi ilandisa ingxenye encane kakhulu yendaba efanele. Ingxenye encane yokudla okungenamsoco izoba nekhalori elincani kunengxenye enkulu yokudla okungenamsoco. Kodwa, kusobala ukuthi bobabili bazobe bengenalutho. I-Junk iyisinqumo esingalungile kokubili ngoba akekho umzali onothando okufanele avumele ukuchitha inkunkuma njengento yokwakha yomzimba okhulayo wengane futhi ngenxa yokudla okungenamsoco okuqeda ukulawulwa kwekhalori. Ukudla okungenamsoco, ngokuphawulekayo, kuye kwenzelwa ukusabalalisa ukudla nokukhulisa amakholori athatha ukuze uzizwe ugcwele. Ngakho isabelo esinikeziwe singase sibe mncane, futhi ama-calories ayo ambalwa; kodwa lokho akusizi ngalesi sikhathi uma ukudla kukhuthazwa kunokuba kunelisekile. Ama-calories amaningi ayaqiniseka ukulandela.
Ngokuphambene nalokho, ukudla okunomsoco kakhulu futhi okunomsoco kakhulu, njengamantongomane kanye ne nut nut, hummus, avocado, noma ngisho namaqanda- kungase kube ngaphezu kwamakhilomitha amaningi kunokhetho lokuncintisana.
Kodwa lokho kuphazamisa impendulo yangempela yokudla lokhu kudla. Ukudla okunempilo, noma yikuphi okuqukethwe kwekhalori, ukuletha ukudla okunempilo okuphezulu, futhi ngokuvamile kuveza umuzwa wokugcwele ogcwele. Ubufakazi bubonisa, isibonelo, ukuthi ama-walnuts namanye amantongomane, kanye nokudla okunomsoco okunamandla, angasiza ukulawula nokunciphisa ukudla kwekhalori phakathi nenkathi yosuku naphezu kokuqukethwe okuphezulu kakhudlwana. Ukulawula isisindo ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, i-calorie idla ngokuhamba kwesikhathi-hhayi nganoma yisiphi isikhathi-lokho okubalulekile ngempela.
Ekugcineni-ke, impendulo yombuzo- "ingabe ikhalori ebonisa ukuthi iyasiza ekulwa nokukhuluphala kwengane?" - kuyinto ecacile: kuxhomeke.
Kufana nokubuza: isando sinethuluzi eliwusizo? Ngokushayela i-nail, nakanjani. Ukubopha izicathulo zakho? Hhay kangako. Ukudlala i-violin? Umqondo omubi, omuhle kakhulu.
Uma ugxila kwizinga eliphezulu lokudla okunomsoco wokuzikhethela wena nomndeni wakho, ama-khalori awukucatshangelwa okuwusizo phakathi kokukhethwa okuncintisana kwekhwalithi efana. Uma kungenjalo, ama-kilojoule azohlinzeka isheke eliwusizo elibalulekile mayelana namasayizi amancane afanelekayo.
Kodwa-ke, uma uthembela ngokweqile kuma-kilojoule futhi unganaki ikhwalithi yonke yokudla okunomsoco, ungakwazi kalula ukukhetha izingxenye ezincane ze-junk esikhundleni senketho engcono kakhulu ngekholori engaphezulu. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, yikhwalithi yamakhilori amaningi athembeka kakhulu, futhi izingane zethu, ukuphatha ubuningi.
Uma ungeke unikeze ingane yakho isando ukuze idlale i-violin, qaphelani ne-cacophony efana ne-calories yokuthumela. Ulwazi mayelana nekhalori luyithuluzi elifana nanoma yimuphi omunye; ingasetshenziswa kahle, noma kabi. Leyo ngxenye nomsindo obangelwayo noma umculo ophelele kuwe.
