Ngaba Ukutyeba Ngokugqithiseleyo Yingxaki Ngokwenene?
“Ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo kwabakwishumi elivisayo kufana nesifo esingubhubhani.”—S. K. Wangnoo, ingcali ephambili ngokuphathelele ukusebenza kwamadlala, eIndraprastha Apollo Hospital, eDelhi, eIndiya.
NJENGOKO la magqabaza angasentla ebonisa, iintsapho ezininzi zaseIndiya ezikudidi oluphakathi ziye zatshintshela kwindlela yokuphila eye yabangela ukuba abakwishumi elivisayo batyebe ngokugqithiseleyo. Lo bhubhani uye wasasazeka kumazwe amaninzi njengoko bebaninzi abantu abangawulolongi ngokwaneleyo umzimba nabatya ukutya okungenazondlo. Ingcali yamayeza abakwishumi elivisayo yathi: “Isizukulwana esilandelayo [eBritani] siya kuba . . . sesona sizukulwana sakha satyeba embalini yonke.” IGuardian Weekly yathi: “Ubukhulu becala, ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo kwakufudula kuyingxaki yabantu abadala. Ngoku, eBritani kukho isizukulwana sabantu abatsha abatya ngendlela engafanelekanga nabangawulolongi ngokwaneleyo umzimba nto leyo eza kubabangela ukuba babe nengxaki eyaqala ukubonwa eUnited States. Ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo kuya kubabangela ukuba bagule zizifo ezifana nesifo seswekile, isifo sentliziyo nomhlaza.”
Ababhali bencwadi ethi Food Fight bathi: “Ukuzingxala ngokutya nokusela ngokugqithiseleyo kuye kwaba yeyona ngxaki ephathelele ukutya inkqenkqeza phambili ehlabathini lonke, kuye kwathabathel’ indawo ukungondleki.” KwiThe Atlantic Monthly, uDon Peck uthi: “Ngoku, malunga nabantu baseMerika abazizigidi ezisithoba ‘bayagula ngenxa yokutyeba,’ okutheth’ ukuthi baneekhilogram ezingama-45 ezingakumbi, nangaphezulu kubunzima bomzimba obufanelekileyo.” Kwelo lizwe, ngonyaka, izigulo ezininzi ezibangelwa kukutyeba zibulala abantu abamalunga nama-300 000 ngaphambi kwexesha, “ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na enye into, ngaphandle kokutshaya.” Lo kaPeck uqukumbela ngelithi: “Kungekudala, ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo kusenokuba yeyona ngxaki ithwaxa abantu ehlabathini lonke ngaphezu kwendlala nezifo ezasulelayo.” Ngoko ke, ngubani onokusibetha ngoyaba isisongelo sokutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo? Kwincwadi ethi Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy, uGqr. Walter C. Willett uthi, “ngaphandle kokungatshayi, enye into ebalulekileyo kukuba unobunzima bomzimba obungakanani na esikalini esikwigumbi lakho lokuhlambela kuba oko kuya kuyichaphazela impilo yakho kwixa elizayo.” Ingongoma apha yimpilo kwixa elizayo.
Kukuthini Ukutyeba Ngokugqithiseleyo?
Uyintoni umahluko phakathi komntu otyebe ngokugqithiseleyo nomntu otyebe nje? IMayo Clinic eseRochester, eMinnesota, eUnited States, ithi: “Eneneni, ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo kukuba nomzimba omkhulu ngenxa yamanqatha amaninzi asemzimbeni.” Kodwa ke ubonakala njani umntu otyebileyo? Izicangca ezibonisa ubude nobukhulu bomntu zinokusinika ulwalathiso enoba umntu utyebe nje okanye sele ede wagqithisa kusini na. (Bona isicangca esikwiphepha 5.) Noko ke, azenziwanga ngokuvumelana neendlela ngeendlela eyakhiwe ngazo imizimba yabantu. IMayo Clinic ithi: “Amanqatha asemzimbeni ngawona anento yokwenza nempilo yomntu kungekhona ubunzima nje bomzimba.” Ngokomzekelo, incutshe yemidlalo isenokuba nomzimba obunzima buphakamileyo ngenxa yezihlunu okanye indlela akhiwe ngayo amathambo ayo. Yintoni kanye kanye ebangela ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo? Lo mbuzo uya kuxutyushwa kwinqaku elilandelayo.
