Ucabanga ukuthi wenza konke ongakwenza ukuze uphile ngendlela enempilo? Ngokuya ngocwaningo olusha oluqhumayo oluvela e-Oregon State University, amaphesenti ama-2.7 kuphela aseMelika ahlangabezana nezindlela ezine ezibandakanya indlela yokuphila enempilo: ukudla okunomsoco, ukuvivinya umzimba ngokulingene, amaphesenti amafutha omzimba anconywayo, nokungabhemi. Ngokuyinhloko, izeluleko zezempilo noma yimuphi udokotela angazikhipha. (Futhi mhlawumbe nawe ubuzoba njalo.) Manje kungani iningi lezwe lehluleka ukuthoba la mabhokisi?

"Lokhu kuphansi kakhulu, ukuba nabantu abambalwa abagcina lokho esingakubheka njengendlela yokuphila enempilo," kusho u-Ellen Smit, umbhali ophezulu ocwaningweni kanye noprofesa ohlangene e-OSU College of Public Health and Human Science, esitatimendeni. "Lolu hlobo lokuphambanisa ingqondo. Kusobala ukuthi kuningi okusamele kwenziwe." Ngokukhethekile, u-Smint uphawula ukuthi "izindinganiso zokuziphatha ebesizikala bezinengqondo, hhayi phezulu kakhulu. Besingafuni abagijimi bemarathon." (Ngemuva kwakho konke, Ukuthi Ukuzivocavoca Okudinga Kangakanani Kuxhomeke Kuzinhloso Zakho.)

USmit nethimba lakhe babheke iqembu elikhulu lokutadisha-abantu abangu-4,745 abavela kuNational Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-futhi bahlanganisa nezindlela zokuziphatha ezilinganisiwe, kunokuthembela kulwazi oluzibikelayo, okwenza okutholakele kubaluleke ngokwengeziwe (futhi kulawulwe nangaphezulu) . Ucwaningo, olwashicilelwa kumagazini ka-April I-Mayo Clinic Proceedings, basebenzise izindlela ezahlukahlukene ukukala impilo yabantu ngaphesheya kohlu lwemibuzo oluzibikile: balinganisa umsebenzi nge-accelerometer (ngenhloso ukuhlangabezana ne-American College of Sports Medicine-anconywe imizuzu engu-150 yokuzivocavoca ngeviki), badonse amasampula egazi ukuthola ukuqinisekiswa okungabhemi, ukukalwa kwamafutha omzimba ngobuchwepheshe be-x-ray absorpitometry technology (esikhundleni salabo bantu abasebenza kabi), futhi kubhekwe "njengokudla okunempilo" ukuthi kube kumaphesenti aphezulu angama-40 abantu abadle ukudla okunconyelwe uMnyango Wezolimo wase-United States.

Ngenkathi kuphela abantu baseMelika abangu-2.7 abangafaka uphawu kuwo womane amabhokisi ashiwo ngenhla, baba ngcono kakhulu uma bebheka umbandela ngamunye ngamunye: amaphesenti angama-71 abantu abadala ayengabhemi, amaphesenti angama-38 adla ukudla okunempilo, amaphesenti angama-46 asebenza ngokwanele, futhi, mhlawumbe okushaqisayo kakhulu, amaphesenti ayishumi nje kuphela ayenamaphesenti avamile amafutha omzimba. Mayelana nababambiqhaza besifazane, uSmit nethimba lakhe bathole ukuthi abesifazane banamathuba amaningi okuthi bangabhemi futhi badle ukudla okunempilo, kepha mancane amathuba okuthi basebenze ngokwanele.

Ngakho-ke lokho kuyindlela yakho yokuvuka futhi unyakaze. Noma uvila-singasiza ngalokho!
