Ubunyani bokwenyani bokugcina ubunzima bungabikho

• Uphengululo lwe

Xa kufikwa ekulahlekeni kwezixa ezikhulu zobunzima, ukulahla iipounds kukuphela kwesiqingatha sedabi. Njengaye nabani na okhe wajonga Eyona mpazamo inkulu uyazi, umsebenzi wokwenyani uqala emva kokuba ubethe inombolo yakho yomlingo njengoko ithatha umzamo omkhulu, ukuba awukho ngaphezulu, umzamo wokuwugcina. (Kwaye, qiniseka ukuba uyazi iNyaniso malunga nokuZuza emva emva Eyona mpazamo inkulu.)

U-Elna Baker uyazi ukuba yinyani kangakanani lo mzabalazo. Umhlekisi kunye nombhali kutshanje babelane ngebali lakhe lokulahleka kobunzima beepawundi ezili-110 kunye nepodcast eyaziwayo Ubomi baseMelika. Emva kokuba etyebe kakhulu okanye etyebe kakhulu ubomi bakhe bonke, ekugqibeleni wagqiba ekubeni anciphise ubunzima kwiminyaka yakhe yokuqala yamashumi amabini kwaye wabhalisa kwiklinikhi yokunciphisa umzimba kwisiXeko saseNew York. Uphulukene neeponti ezili-100 kwiinyanga nje ezintlanu ezinesiqingatha ngokutya ukutya okusempilweni, ukuzilolonga kunye ... nokuthatha phentermine ugqirha wakhe amyalele yona.

I-Phentermine sisiyobisi esinjenge-amphetamine esisiqingatha sento ethandwayo yokulahleka kwesisindo i-Fen-Phen, eyatsalwa kwintengiso ngo-1997 emva kohlolisiso olwafumanisa ukuba iipesenti ezingama-30 zabantu abazithathayo baneengxaki zentliziyo. I-Phentermine isafumaneka ngomyalelo wodwa, kodwa ngoku ithengiswa njengonyango "lwexesha elifutshane" lokutyeba.

Ekugqibeleni ubhityile, u-Baker wafumanisa ukuba yayiyinto yonke awayenethemba lokuba iya kuba yiyo. Ngequbuliso wayefumana amathuba emisebenzi, efumana ezothando, kwaye efumana nokutya okumahala, konke enkosi kwinani lakhe elitsha. Ekugqibeleni wenza utyando lokususa ulusu olubiza imali eninzi ukuze inguqu yakhe iphelele. (Ungaphoswa: Abafazi bokwenyani babelana ngeengcinga zabo kuTyando lokuSusa uLusu emva kokuThoba ubunzima.) Kodwa nangona ebambekile ngokutya ngendlela esempilweni kunye nokuzilolonga, ekugqibeleni wafumanisa ukuba ubunzima buqalile ukubuyela umva. Ke wabuyela kwinto awayeyazi ukuba iyasebenza.

"Nantsi into endingazange ndayixelela abantu. Ndisayithatha i-phentermine. Ndiyithatha iinyanga ezimbalwa ngonyaka, okanye ngamanye amaxesha ingathi sisiqingatha sonyaka. EMexico okanye kwi-Intanethi, nangona izinto ezikwi-Intanethi zingezizo kwaye azisebenzi kakuhle, utshilo evuma kumdlalo. Ndiyayazi ukuba ivakala njani le nto. Ndiyazi kakuhle indlela ekuphazamiseke ngayo. "

Kodwa kunzima kangakanani ngokuchanekileyo ukugcina ukulahleka kobunzima? Kwaye bangaphi abantu ababhenela kumanqanaba anzima anje ngoBaker ukuze benze njalo? Uphando luyaphikisana, ukutsho nje okuncinci. Olunye uphando olukhankanywa rhoqo, olupapashwe kwi Ijenali eNtsha yaseNgilani yoNyango, yafumanisa ukuba bambalwa nje omnye ukuya kwababini kubantu abali-100 abanciphisa umzimba abagcina behlile kwiminyaka emibini edluleyo, ngoxa olunye uhlolisiso lubeka inani elikufutshane nesihlanu ekhulwini. Kwaye uphononongo lwe-UCLA lwafumanisa ukuba isithathu se-dieters okunene siphinda sibuyele ubunzima kunokuba besilahlekile ekuqaleni. La manani aphikisana kakhulu, nangona kunjalo, kunye nezinye izifundo, kubandakanywa nale epapashwe ngu Ijenali yaseMelika yeZondlo, besithi ukwesaba kugqithisile kwaye malunga neepesenti ezingama-20 ze-dieters ziya kugcina ukulahleka kwazo ixesha elide.

Uninzi lwesiphithiphithi sibonakala sivela kwinto yokuba izifundo zabantu ezilawulwa ixesha elide malunga nokwehla kobunzima zinqabile kwaye zibiza kakhulu, ngoko ke sihlala sishiywe nezifundo ezisekelwe kwingxelo-kwaye abantu bangamaxoki adumileyo xa kufikwa. ukuthetha ngobunzima babo, ukutya ukutya, kunye nokuzilolonga.

Kodwa nokuba leliphi na inani olikhethayo, lishiya ubuncinci i-80 pesenti yabantu kwindawo edidayo kakhulu yokubuyisela bonke ubunzima abasebenze nzima ngokumangalisayo ukuphulukana nayo. Ke ayothusi into yokuba abantu abaninzi babhenele kwizongezo ezithandabuzekayo, kwiipilisi zentengiso emnyama, kunye nokuphazamiseka kwindlela yokutya ukugcina ubunzima buphelile. Olunye uphando olwenziwe yile magazini Ngoku ithi ibhinqa elinye kwasixhenxe lisebenzise iziyobisi, enoba libhalwe ngugqirha okanye lingekho mthethweni, ukuze linciphise umzimba. Ukongeza, phantse isiqingatha bathi basebenzise izongezo zemifuno kwaye iipesenti ezingama-30 zamkelwe ekucoceni emva kwesidlo. Uphando olwahlukileyo lukhuphe ubuncinci inxalenye yogqabhuko-dubulo lwemigqaliselo ye-ADHD, efana ne-Adderall kunye ne-Vyvanse, kunye nokuthandwa kwabo kwimarike emnyama, kwimpembelelo yabo eyaziwayo yokunciphisa umzimba.

Ngelishwa, ezi ndlela zinezinye iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga eziyingozi ezisusela ekuxhomekekeni kwisifo ukuya ekufeni. Kodwa elo lixabiso u-Baker athi uzimisele ukulihlawula ukugcina amalungelo awafumeneyo ekubeni ebhityile. "Ndicinge ngaphambili ukuba [i-phentermine] inokuchaphazela impilo yam. Iziva njalo," utshilo. "Andizange ndenze i-Googled ngemiphumo emibi."

Akunakwenzeka ukutsho ngokuthe ngqo ukuba bangaphi baphendukela kumanyathelo anqwenelayo ukugcina ukwehla kobunzima njengoko abantu beqonda ukuba bayathandabuza ukuxelela abaphandi (okanye banokukhanyela) malunga nokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi okanye iindlela zokuziphatha ezingalunganga kodwa ibali likaBaker lenza into enye icace: Iyenzeka kwaye thina. bonke kufuneka bathethe ngayo ngakumbi. (Kwaye kungekudala, kuba kukho ingxaki enkulu yokutyeba kwihlabathi liphela.)
