IMillennials iSkyrocketing kwiMbango yeKofu

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Okokuqala, sifumanise ukuba iimillennials zisela yonke iwayini. Ngoku, sifumanise ukuba basela nayo yonke ikofu.

Imfuno yekofu e-U.S. (umthengi omkhulu wekofu wehlabathi) ifikelele ngokusesikweni kwizinga eliphezulu. Kwaye ngoku siyasazi isizathu: I-Millennials (nabani na oneminyaka eyi-19 ukuya kuma-35) bayisela yonke. Ngaphandle kokuba i-24 yeepesenti yabemi belizwe, iwaka leminyaka lenza malunga ne-44 yeepesenti yemfuno yekofu yelizwe, ngokutsho kwe-Chicago-based research firm Datassential, njengoko ingxelo yeBloomberg.

Ukulunga, iwaka leminyaka zi esona sizukulwana sikhulu kunazo zonke e-US (basazodlula ezinye izizukulwana ngokweepesenti), kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba ukuthanda ikofu akunamandla kangako. Kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo, ukutya ikofu yonke imihla phakathi kwabaneminyaka eli-18 ukuya kwengama-24 ubudala kunyuke ukusuka kuma-34 eepesenti ukuya kuma-48 epesenti, kwaye inyuke isuka kwiipesenti ezingama-51 yaya kuma-60 epesenti phakathi kwabaneminyaka engama-25 ukuya kwengama-39 ubudala, ngokweKofi kaZwelonke. Umbutho, okwabikwa nguBloomberg. Ngeli xesha, inani labantu abadala abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-40 abasela ikofu yonke imihla lehlile.

Kutheni le nto iMillennials ithanda ikofu? Mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba baqala ukucofa izinto ngaphambili ebomini kunangaphambili; Iinkulungwane zeminyaka encinci (ezelwe emva kowe-1995) yaqala ukusela ikofu malunga ne-14.7 yeminyaka ubudala, ngelixa i-millennials endala (eyazalwa kufutshane ne-1982), yaqala eneminyaka eyi-17.1, inika ingxelo iBloomberg. (Ahem, mhlawumbi lonto yiyo loo nto isinye kwisithathu sabemi baseMelika bengalali ngokwaneleyo.)

Ngeminyaka eyiwaka ethoba kakhulu ezi zinto, asinakuzibamba kodwa siyazibuza: Ithetha ukuthini kanye le nto kwimpilo yakho? Sele sinayo i-lowdown yokuba ikofu ayilunganga kuwe-kodwa ngaba i-14 kungekudala ukuba siqalise ukuphunga iilati?

"Iziphumo zexesha elide zokusetyenziswa kwekofu kulutsha azikaziwa nangoku, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo zinokubakho iimpembelelo zempilo ezinokubangela ukuqala komkhwa wokutya ikofu usemncinci," utshilo uMarci Clow, MS, RDN, ingcali yesondlo eRainbow. UkuKhanya.

Okokuqala, i-caffeine ekwikofu inokuchaphazela ukulala, ebaluleke kakhulu ekukhuleni kwengqondo yolutsha kunye nokukhula, kunye nokungabikho kwe-zzz eyaneleyo kunokubangela ukungasebenzi kakuhle ngosuku olulandelayo. (Sawubona, ii-SATs okanye iimvavanyo zomqhubi.) Ukutya ikhafeyini kungaphakamisa indlela oziva ngayo okanye, kwabanye abantu, kuyonyusa iimvakalelo zoxinzelelo kunye noxinzelelo-esele ixhaphakile kwiminyaka yeshumi elivisayo, utshilo uClow. Uguqulo: Olo tshintsho lwemo yolutsha lunokuba namandla ngakumbi.

Ngokucacileyo, iziphumo zokusela iitoni zekofu kufanelekile ukuba ziqwalaselwe nakweyiphi na iminyaka; I-caffeine ikwabonakalise ukuba inyusa uxinzelelo lwegazi kunye nokubetha kwentliziyo kunye nokuba nefuthe elicothayo lomchamo, utshilo uClow. Kuba ikofu iyinto evuselelayo, enokuthoba umdla wakho wokutya, ukusela kakhulu i-java kunokukwenza ufune ukutsiba isidlo sasemini, ikuhluthe ukutya okutyebileyo ngezondlo. Okanye, ukuba u-odola i-frappuccinos, unokuba ulayisha iikhalori ezingenanto.

Kuthekani ngesiyobisi? Ngokuqinisekileyo, ukuba uqala ngokukhawuleza, kunokwenzeka ukuba ubhaqwe, akunjalo? Uninzi lophando lokuxhomekeka kwi-caffeine lwenziwe kubantu abadala, kodwa ukuba uqala umkhwa omncinci ebomini ngokuqinisekileyo unokukhulisa ukuxhomekeka kwakamsinya, utshilo uClow. (Naku kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuba umzimba wakho uqale ukungahoyi icaffeine.)

"Ndicinga ukuba abantu baxhomekeke emzimbeni kwi-caffeine," utshilo. (Akukho zigwebo-siyiqonda ngokupheleleyo imizabalazo yokwenene yokuba likhoboka lekhofi.) Ukurhola ikomityi yakho yansuku zonke yejava kunokubangela inkungu yengqondo, ukucaphuka, okanye iintloko, ezinokuhlala iintsuku ezininzi, kodwa iimpawu zokurhoxa zinokuba nzima kakhulu okanye okubi ngakumbi kwabanye abantu. "Kwenzeka ntoni ngekhemikhali xa icaffeine icinyiwe kukuba ingqondo igcwele ngamanzi kunye ne-adenosine kunye ne-dopamine yehla, ibangela ukungalingani kwi-chemistry yengqondo kwaye kukhokelele kwezinye zeempawu ezinokubakho zokurhoxa."

Kwaye nangona ezi ndaba zekofu zingenjalo naye eyoyikekayo kwimpilo yakho, kukho into engoyikiyo ngolu thando lubi lwewaka leminyaka; ukwanda kwebango kunye notshintsho lwemozulu olungakhange lukhangele kuthetha ukuba sijamelene nokunqongophala kwekofu. Isiqingatha sendawo efanelekileyo yokulima ikofu sinokulahleka ngo-2050 ukuba ukutshintsha kwemozulu kuhlala kunjalo, ngokweClimate Institute eOstreliya, kwaye ngowama-2080, kusenokungabikho mbotyi. Ewe. Yiya kubamba ikofu yakho kwikhowuni ye-ayisikrimu ngaphambi kokuba ungabinako.
