Le Hormone Ibhekele Umgijimi Wakho Ophakeme
-Delile
Noma ngubani odudule i-5K yakhe yokuqala ujwayelene nalokho kukhuphuka phakathi kokugijima okuphakathi: umgijimi uphakeme. Kepha ungahle ube ne-biology yakho yangaphambi komlando-hhayi uhlelo lwakho lokuqeqesha-ukubonga. Ngokusho kocwaningo olusha olushicilelwe ku- Umzimba Wamaseli, Ukuphakama komgijimi akuhlobene kakhulu nejubane lakho noma ukuqeqeshwa kwakho nokuningi okuphathelene nezinga lokusutha komzimba wakho. Manje?
Abaphenyi e-University of Montreal bathole ukuthi ukuvela komgijimi ophakeme kuthonywa ukuba khona kwe-leptin, i-hormone yendlala yomzimba wakho. Amagundane ayenamazinga aphansi e-leptin (okusho ukuthi ayezizwa elambile futhi enganeliseki kancane) agijima ngokuphindwe kabili kunozakwabo ababesuthi.
Kungani? Amazinga aphansi e-leptin athumela isignali esikhungweni sokuzijabulisa sobuchopho bakho ukuze kwandiswe isisusa sokuzivocavoca (AKA ukuzingela ukudla, ngokuphathelene ne-primal biology yethu). Abaphenyi bacabanga ukuthi amagundane angenelisekile athola ukwaneliseka okukhulu kanye nomuzwa wokuthola umvuzo ngokuvivinya umzimba. Futhi lapho sihlanganisa kakhulu injabulo nomsebenzi, kulapho siqala ukuwufisa khona. Sawubona, ukuqeqeshwa kwe-marathon. (Ubisi "oluphakeme kakhulu lomgijimi" ngakho konke kufanelekile: Izindlela ezi-7 zokwenza i-Post-Workout yakho ukuthi ihlale isikhathi eside.)
Ingxenye ehamba phambili ngalo mphumela? Uma uzivocavoca, yilapho uzwa khona imiphumela ephansi ye-leptin. Uma unamafutha omzimba amancane, njengomgijimi osebenza kahle kakhulu, umzimba wakho unenani eliphansi le-leptin. Izifundo zangaphambilini zixhumanise i-leptin nezikhathi ze-marathon ezisheshayo nokwanda kwezemidlalo, kepha lolu cwaningo olusha lukhomba kulowo mgijimi omnandi njengesizathu sokuthi kungani.
Kungaba nokubi kule miphumela, noma kunjalo. Isixhumanisi somvuzo-leptin siye sabonakala ezifundweni ezedlule zokulutha ukuzivocavoca umzimba, futhi abacwaningi bakulesi sifundo bacabanga ukuthi kungaba yimbangela yokulutha ngokweqile okuvame ukuhlotshaniswa ne-anorexia. Uma ulambile, umzimba wakho udinga uphethiloli wangempela, hhayi nje ukuphakama okuhlobene nokuwusebenzela. (Kuyisifo esivamile futhi. Funda Ukuthi Owesifazane Oyedwa Wakunqoba Kanjani Umlutha Wakhe Wokuzivocavoca.)
Shayela umzingeli wakho wangaphakathi ngomzila omkhulu ukuze ugijime, bese uqiniseka ukuthi uzokhipha lawo mahomoni endlala nge-refuel egijimayo.
