Kuzodingeka uhambe amahora amane ukuze ushise ama-calories e-pizza - ingabe sifuna ukufunda lokho ephaketheni? Ukuhlaziywa kwe-meta kuhlolisise ukuthi "ilebula lezemidlalo" lizokonakalisa yini ukudla kwethu - futhi lisiholele ekudleni amakhalori ambalwa. Nokho, kuningi ukugxekwa kwendlela.
Ukudla kufanele kubhalwe kanjani ukuze sikwazi ukwenza izinqumo ezingcono zokuthenga futhi sidle ukudla okunempilo? Lo mbuzo ungomunye wokukhathazeka koMnyango Wezokudla Wenhlangano, okuthi - ngemuva kwesikhathi eside emuva naphambili - manje usuvuna ukukhanya kwethrafikhi ye-Nutri-Score.
Omunye umqondo yilokhu okubizwa nge-PACE Food Labelling. Isifinyezo simele “ukulingana kwekhalori yomsebenzi womzimba”. Ilebula libonisa ibhokisi elibonisa amakhalori aqukethwe ekudleni namanye amabhokisi amabili abonisa ukuthi kungathatha imizuzu emingaki ukugijima noma ukuhamba ukuze uwashise. Ngakho-ke igcizelela isici sokuzivocavoca, esibaluleke kakhulu empilweni enempilo njengokudla okunomsoco.
Ibha likashokoledi eliguqulelwe libe imizuzu yezemidlalo
Ngesistimu ye-PACE, uthola isikhumbuzi esinamandla sokuthi i-pizza kufanele ithathe uhambo lokugaya ukudla kwamahora amane—nokuthi ama-calories esaladi azophela emizuzwini engu-15 kuphela. Noma funda ukuthi ama-calories angu-230 asuka kuswidi encane angathatha imizuzu engu-46 ukuhamba noma imizuzu engu-23 ukugijima. Ukuqaphela okunjalo kungaba buhlungu. Ososayensi baseBritish University of Loughborough manje sebephenyile ukuthi yimalini.
Ekuhlaziyweni kwe-meta, bahlole izifundo ze-14 ngalesi sihloko, imiphumela yanyatheliswa ku-"Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health". Abacwaningi bathola ukuthi ilebula ye-PACE ikwazile ukunciphisa kancane ukuthathwa kwekhalori: ngokwesilinganiso, abathengi bakhethe ukudla okunamakholori angaba ngu-65 (ngokudla ngakunye). Uma kuqhathaniswa namanye amalebula noma awekho nhlobo amalebula, adle cishe ama-calories angu-80 kuya kwangu-100 ambalwa.
Ngokwesilinganiso amakhalori angama-200 alondolozwa ngosuku
Uma ubala ngokudla okuthathu ngosuku kanye nokudla okulula okubili okwengeziwe, ngokusho kwabacwaningi, uzokonga amakholori alinganiselwa ku-200. Lokho akuzwakali njengokuningi, kodwa ososayensi bagcizelela ukuthi ngisho nokuncishiswa kwekhalori okuncane, isikhathi eside, kuhlanganiswe nokusebenza ngokomzimba, kungaba nomthelela omuhle empilweni futhi kunqande ukukhuluphala emphakathini.
Ngakho-ke inhloko yocwaningo, u-Amanda J. Daley, ibona ilebula le-PACE njengendlela ethembisayo futhi uyachaza: “Kuyisu elilula elingahlanganiswa kalula ngabakhiqizi ekupakisheni ukudla neziphuzo, kusukela ezitolo ezinkulu kuya emananini entengo futhi ezindaweni zokudlela kanye namaketanga Okudla angahlanganiswa namamenyu.”
"Kuyinkinga kakhulu" kubantu abanezinkinga zokudla
Njengoba ilula ngendlela ekhangayo futhi isebenza ngempumelelo njengoba le ndlela ibonakala iphikisana nokukhuluphala, kukhona futhi ukugxekwa kwelebula ye-PACE. I-“CNN” icaphuna u-Nichola Ludlam-Raine, umkhulumeli we-British Dietic Association, ohlola i-PACE “njengeyinkinga kakhulu” kubantu abanokuphazamiseka kwemikhuba yokudla. Ngoba ilebula iphakamisa ukuthi ukudla “kuyafaneleka” futhi kufanele kuqeqeshwe futhi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ilebula igxile kuphela kumakhalori hhayi ezakhiweni zokudla - njengoba kunjalo nge-Nutri-Score, isibonelo. ULudlam-Raine uveza ukuthi awukwazi ukunxephezela ukudla okungenamsoco ngoswidi neziphuzo ezibandayo ngokuzivocavoca nje.
Alukho ucwaningo ngaphansi kwezimo zangempela okwamanje
Ukuhlaziywa kwemeta kwamanje nakho kunobuthakathaka obuthile. Izifundo ezimbalwa kuphela ezifakiwe futhi imiphumela yezifundo ngazinye ngezinye izikhathi yayihluke kakhulu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba abacwaningi ngokwabo bevuma, iningi lezifundo zenziwa ngaphansi kwezimo zaselabhorethri - uphenyo ngaphansi kwezimo zangempela, isibonelo ezitolo ezinkulu noma ezindaweni zokudlela, kuzodingeka zilandele.
Ucwaningo alunikezi noma yibuphi ubufakazi bokuthi ilebula lesexwayiso sekhalori liyasebenza ngempela futhi liholela ekutheni abathengi badle ukudla okungenampilo kancane. Futhi ilebula ingase idikibalise abanye abantu ekwenzeni ezemidlalo - ngoba uma usebenza kuphela ingxenye yesine ye-pizza ngokugijima ihora lonke, ungase ungakwenzi nhlobo.
