Ubunzima obufanelekileyo luvavanyo olubalulekileyo, ukongeza ekuncedeni umntu ukuba abone ukuba utyebile okanye utyebile, unokuthintela iingxaki ezinje ngokutyeba kakhulu, isifo seswekile okanye ukungondleki, okwenzekayo xa umntu etyebe kakhulu.

Ukufumanisa ukuba loluphi uhlobo lobunzima olukulungeleyo, faka idatha yakho kwisibali-manani:

Ubalwa njani ubunzima obufanelekileyo?

Ubunzima obufanelekileyo bubalwa ngokwe-BMI (Body Mass Index), ebalwa kusetyenziswa izinto ezimbini eziguquguqukayo: ubunzima nokuphakama.

Ukuqonda ngcono ukubala i-BMI kunye nokuba yenzelwe ntoni.

Kutheni le nto ubunzima obufanelekileyo buhluka ngokweminyaka?

Nangona ubudala bungeyonto ebandakanyiweyo kubalo lwe-BMI, lixabiso eligcina liphembelela indlela esitolikwa ngayo iziphumo. Kungenxa yokuba, abantu abadala bahlala benesiphumo esisezantsi se-BMI, ngenxa yokwehla koxinano lwamathambo kunye nobunzima bemisipha. Ke, uluhlu lwe-BMI olujongwa njengesiqhelo kumntu osele ekhulile kufuneka lube ngaphantsi komntu omdala.

Ngaba uluhlu lobunzima obonisiweyo lulungele wonke umntu?

Hayi. Uluhlu oluchaziweyo lobunzima obunempilo ngumndilili osekwe kubalo lwe-BMI, olwaphuhliswa ukuvavanya bonke abantu, ngaphandle kokuthathela ingqalelo izinto zobuqu, ezinje ngesixa sobunzima besisu, ezinye iingxaki zempilo okanye uxinano lweethambo.

Ke, nangona i-BMI inceda ukubala umndilili wobunzima kwinxalenye enkulu yabemi, ixabiso layo linokuba liphosakele xa kubalwa iimeko ezithile, ngakumbi iimbaleki okanye abasetyhini abakhulelweyo, umzekelo. Kwezi meko, eyona nto ifanelekileyo kukusoloko usenza uvavanyo olunenkcukacha kunye nogqirha okanye isondlo, onokwenza olunye uvavanyo ukumisela ukwakheka komzimba, njengokulinganisa okanye ukulinganiswa kwesikhumba.

Ukuqonda ngcono ukuba yintoni i-bioimpedance:

Kutheni kubalulekile ukuba wazi ubunzima obufanelekileyo?

Ukwazi uluhlu lobunzima obufanelekileyo yindlela elungileyo yokuvavanya imeko yesondlo, kuba xa ubunzima bomzimba bungaphezulu kokufanelekileyo oko kuthetha ukuba umntu utya ii-calories ezingaphezulu, ngelixa ukutyeba kungathetha ukuba umntu utya iikhalori ezimbalwa kunokuba kufanelekile.

Ukongeza, ixabiso lobunzima bomzimba kunye ne-BMI ikwahambelana ngqo nenqanaba lamafutha omzimba kwaye, ke ngoko, ixabiso leBMI liphezulu, kokukhona kukuqokelelana kwamafutha emzimbeni. Ngokubanzi, abantu abanamanqanaba aphezulu amafutha basemngciphekweni omkhulu wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo, esifana noxinzelelo lwegazi okanye isifo seswekile, ngakumbi xa amanqatha eqokelelwe esinqeni.

Abantu abatyebe kakhulu, okanye abane-BMI ephezulu kunendlela ekucetyiswa ngayo, kufuneka nabo babale "umlinganiselo okhalweni ukuya okhalweni" ovavanya umngcipheko weengxaki zentliziyo ngokubhekisele kwibala lesinqe. Bona indlela yokubala umlinganiselo we-waist-to-hip.
