• Bobabili abadala kanye nezingane sebekhuluphele kusukela kwaqala lolu bhubhane.
• Ukulahlekelwa indlela evamile kuholele ekudleni okuhlelekile kancane kanye nezindlela zokuqhela ngokomzimba kwakusho ukuthi izingane ziphuthelwe imfundo engokomzimba, ikhefu kanye nemidlalo ehlelekile.
• Lokhu kwenyuka kwesisindo kuyakhathaza ngoba ukukhuluphala kwezingane kuxhumene nenani lezinkinga zempilo.
• Abazali bangasiza ngokuthatha imikhuba yokudla ehlelekile futhi bacabange ukuthi bona bakhuluma kanjani ngokudla nemizimba.

Umbiko waminyaka yonke we-American Psychological Association’s (APA) othi “Stress in America” ubonise okungaphezu nje kokuthola isisindo esingafuneki phakathi nalolu bhubhane.

Manje kutholwe ukuthi amaphesenti angu-30 abazali abika ukuthi izingane zabo ziye zakhuluphala ezingadingeki.

Lezi zindaba mhlawumbe azimangazi ikakhulukazi. Ukubhekana nengcindezi nokuphazamiseka kokuphila kwansuku zonke okubangelwa ubhadane lwe-COVID-19 kube nzima kithi sonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sineminyaka emingaki.

, udokotela wezingane ogunyazwe yibhodi kanye nongoti kwezokudla e-Omaha, eNebraska, uthe enye yezinto ezinomthelela omkhulu ekukhuleni kwesisindo sezingane ngesikhathi sodlame, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sokuvalwa kwezikole, wukuntuleka kwesakhiwo sokudla.

“Ngesikhathi sesikole, izingane azikutholi ukudla nokudla okulula ezikwenzayo ekhaya, ikakhulukazi uma zingagadiwe umzali,” kusho yena.

"Lokhu kungase kuholele ekuthambekeni okukhulu 'kokudla' ukudla okulula kanye neziphuzo ezinoshukela usuku lonke kunokudla ukudla okuhleliwe, okuhleliwe noma okulula noma ukuphuza amanzi kuphela phakathi kokudla," kusho i-Saxena.

U-Saxena ubuye abe yi-CEO ye-, ezinikele ekusekeleni izinhlelo zezempilo, umsoco, imfundo kanye nokuphila kahle kwezingane.

Uthe ngaphandle kokudla ngendlela engahlelekile, iningi lezingane liphinde labhekana nokungazivocavoci ngesikhathi sodlame. Ngaphandle kwamakilasi okufunda ngokomzimba, ikhefu kanye nemidlalo ehlelekile, bamane babe namathuba ambalwa okusebenza.

Umphumela? Ukukhula kwesisindo.

Ngokusho kuka-, isazi sokudla esibhalisiwe esizinze eNew York kanye nomsunguli we- , akukhona lokho okuhlukile ngezizathu ezifanayo abantu abadala abaningi abaye bazuza isisindo ngesikhathi sodlame.

Kodwa ngaphandle kokuphila impilo yokunganyakazi nokudla ukudla okungahlelekile kahle, uthe kungase kube nesinye isizathu esenza abantu abadala bakhuluphale kunezingane.

“Bekungenzeka ukuthi badle bodwa etafuleni kunokuthi badle nozakwabo noma namakhasimende,” echaza. “Le ndawo enengcindezi ephansi kungenzeka ibe nomthelela ekukhetheni kwabo ukudla kanye nenani labo. »

Abantu abadala abaningi bandise nokudla kwabo ngesikhathi sodlame, okungenzeka ukuthi kuholele ekuzuzeni isisindo esengeziwe.

Izinselelo zokudla okunempilo zibe zinkulu kwezinye izingane ngesikhathi sobhadane

Ngenkathi izingane kanye nabantu abadala bebhekene nezithiyo ezifanayo ekudleni okunempilo nokusebenza lapho ubhubhane seluqalile, uSaxena wachaza ukuthi amanye amaqembu ezingane athinteke kakhulu kulezi zinguquko kunamanye.

“Njengezinto eziningi ezihlobene ne-COVID, umthelela kungenzeka mkhulu kakhulu ezinganeni esezivele zinenkinga yokudla okunempilo,” kusho yena. “Izingane ezingazange zijwayelane nemikhuba yokudla enempilo ekhaya (ukudla okungahleliwe, ukudla okugayiwe, ukungakwazi ukudla okuhlukahlukene) lezi zinkinga zaba zimbi nakakhulu. »

Ngokujwayelekile, uthe, isikole sihlinzeka okungenani ngesakhiwo kanye nezidingo ezincane zokudla okunomsoco ngesikhathi sasekuseni nasemini.

“Izingane ezazigadwe kancane noma zingenalo nhlobo isiqondiso phakathi nosuku ngenxa yokuthi abazali bazo kwadingeka basebenze ngaphandle kwekhaya, noma kuze kudingeke basebenze usuku lonke besebenza ekhaya, ngokuvamile kwakudingeka babe nomthwalo wemfanelo wokuzondla usuku lonke. , " wathi.

USaxena wengeze ngokuthi izingane ezikulolu hlobo lwezimo zingase zenze izinqumo ezingalungile mayelana nokudla.

NgokukaKirschner, amanye amaqembu ezingane nawo abhekana nezingozi ezengeziwe.

“Izingane ezazivele zisengozini yokukhuluphala ngokusobala zazisengozini enkulu,” echaza.

UKirschner wengeze ngokuthi izingane ezivela ezizindeni eziphansi zenhlalomnotho nazo zisengozini enkulu yokuthola isisindo.

“Mhlawumbe le ngane ijwayele ukuthola ukudla kwasemini kwamahhala, mhlawumbe nesidlo sasekuseni esikoleni,” kusho yena. “Uma umzali engazange anikezwe lokhu ngesikhathi sodlame, noma engakwazi ukukucosha, kungenzeka ukuthi ingane ibhekane nokungavikeleki kokudla okwengeziwe. »

Lokhu kungenzeka kuholele ekutheni badle ukudla okugayiwe, okuvamise ukuthengeka.

"Ngokuvamile, ukudla okulula okushibhile kuphezulu kunoshukela owengeziwe namafutha agcwele futhi aphansi ku-fibre nama-carbohydrate ayinkimbinkimbi," kuchaza uKirschner.

Ukukhuluphala kwezingane kungayithinta kanjani impilo

U-Kirchner uthe ukukhuluphala kwezingane kuhlotshaniswa nenani lokwanda kwezingozi ze-cardiovascular disease (CVD), okuhlanganisa:

• ukwanda kokumelana ne-insulin
• ukungabekezelelani kwe-glucose
• dyslipidemia
• ukuvuvukala kwesistimu yezinga eliphansi
• ukwanda kokuqina kodonga lwe-arterial
• high blood pressure

"Ngaphezu kokwandisa ingozi ye-CVD, ukukhuluphala kwezingane kuhlotshaniswa nokuthuthukiswa kwesifo sesibindi esinamafutha angenalo utshwala, umdlavuza, isifo samaphaphu, i-asthma, i-apnea yokulala, izinkinga zamathambo, ukucindezeleka kanye nohlobo lwe-2 yesifo sikashukela," kusho uKirschner.

Nokho, ukuvivinya umzimba, ukudla okulinganiselayo nokuncipha kwesisindo kunganciphisa lezi zingozi.

"Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ngisho nokuncipha kancane kwesisindo somzimba ngaphambi kokuqala kokuthomba kunganciphisa ingozi ye-CVD, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, i-dyslipidemia, uhlobo lwesifo sikashukela sohlobo lwe-2, nesifo senhliziyo kamuva ekuphileni, uma isisindo somzimba [esinempilo] sigcinwa," yena. wachaza.

Abazali bangasiza kanjani

Kubazali abafuna ukusiza izingane zabo ukuba zibuyele ekudleni okunomsoco futhi zenze imisebenzi eyengeziwe, uSaxena uthe kungcono kakhulu ukwenza uhlelo olusekelwe eminyakeni yengane yakho.

Uthe into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuvuselela, noma ukuqala, ukudla okuhlelekile. ,

Lokhu kuhilela ukudla okuhleliwe nokudla okulula kunokuvumela izingane ukuba ziklabe usuku lonke, nokudala ukwehlukana kwemithwalo yemfanelo uma kuziwa ngezikhathi zokudla: umzali unomthwalo wemfanelo wokudla okunikezwayo futhi ingane ivunyelwe ukuba inqume ukuthi izodla malini. salokho okunikezwayo.

"Futhi, ukuqeda iziphuzo ezinoshukela nokuvumela amanzi kuphela phakathi kokudla kuyindlela enhle yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwamakholori angenalutho," kusho uSaxena. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukudla komkhaya kuyinzuzo enkulu ezinganeni. Ukudla ngisho nesidlo esisodwa ngosuku njengomkhaya kuhlotshaniswa ne-BMI enempilo.

UKirschner uthe kubalulekile futhi ukuthi abazali bakhumbule ukuthi izingane zibukela futhi zifunde endleleni abadla ngayo abazali bazo abayisibonelo kuzo.

“Indlela umzali akhuluma ngayo ngokudla ingaba nomthelela endleleni yokuziphatha kwengane yakhe,” echaza. Uma umzali ebiza ukudla ngokuthi ‘kuhle’ noma ‘kubi’, ingane ingase yenze kanjalo. »

Usikisela ukuba kukhuthazwe ukudla komkhaya, kusetshenziswa isakhiwo esibikezelwayo nokubeka imingcele, njengokuthi ingane yakho idla nini futhi kuphi.

"Uma ingane izama ukwamukela imikhuba emisha enempilo ngokushintsha ukuziphatha okudlule, indlela yomndeni wonke ingcono kakhulu ukuvimbela ukucwaswa nokucindezela okungadingekile enganeni," kusho uKirschner.

Abazali Bangagwema Kanjani Ihlazo Futhi Bathuthukise Ubudlelwano Obunempilo Nokudla

Kungaba nzima ukuhamba umugqa phakathi kokukhuthaza imikhuba enempilo ngaphandle kokuhlazisa noma ukucwasa izinhlobo ezithile zomzimba noma ukukhetha kokudla.

Nakuba abazali abaningi benezinhloso ezinhle kakhulu, amanye amaphutha angaba yingozi ohambweni lwezempilo lwengane lulonke.

"Nakuba kungase kubonakale kunenzuzo, ukugcizelela ukudla okunomsoco nokudla okunempilo kungase kuzwakale njengokucindezela kunokukhuthaza okuhle," kusho uKirschner.

Ngalesi sizathu, uthe izingxoxo mayelana nokudla kufanele zigwenywe.

“Akukho ukudla,” kusho yena. “Izingane ziyakhula futhi ziyakhula, ngakho-ke ukudla akuvumelekile. . Futhi-ke, ungakucwasi ukubukeka, isisindo noma imikhuba. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, ingozi yokuphazamiseka kwemikhuba yokudla ezinganeni iyanda.

Ngokufanayo, u-Saxena uthe abazali kufanele bakugweme ukukhawulela inani lokudla ingane ekudlayo noma bayiphoqe ukuthi baqede amaqembu okudla.

“Esikhundleni salokho, khetha ukudla okunempilo ozokunikeza ingane yakho futhi uyivumele idle ngokuningi ngendlela ekufunayo noma ekufunayo,” ekhuthaza. “Ukubafaka ekudleni okunemingcele cishe kuzobabangela izinkinga ezengeziwe ngokudla kwe-yo-yo noma ukuphazamiseka kwemikhuba yokudla esikhathini esizayo. »

Ekugcineni, u-Kirschner uthe into ebaluleke kakhulu umzali angayenza ukusiza ingane yakhe ukuba ibe nokuzethemba okunempilo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ingakanani inombolo esikalini.

“Qinisekisa ukuthi ingane iyazi futhi iyaqonda ukuthi ithandwa ngenxa yalokho eyiyo hhayi ngenxa yendlela ebukeka ngayo, yenzani esikoleni, yenzani, noma idlani,” kusho yena.
