Njengoko kuyaziwa, kwiimeko ezininzi i-taste taste of various deliceacies ibangelwa kubukho kwimveliso yokutya yee-carbohydrates njenge-sucrose (le nto iyaziwa kakhulu kwimihla ngemihla njengoshukela), kunye ne-glucose kunye ne-fructose. I-carbohydrate yindawo ephezulu yokutya yeekhalori. Kunelungelo lokuthetha ukuba ubuninzi bamandla asetyenziswa ngumzimba ukuba enze zonke iintlobo zempendulo zemizimba zenziwa ngumbumba we-carbohydrates kwindlela yokutya. Ukutya okungaphezulu kwama-carbohydrates emzimbeni kunye nokutya kubangela ubunzima kwinkqubo yokucwangciswa kwazo ngokupheleleyo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwimveliso yokutshintshiselwa yokugqibela (i-carbon dioxide namanzi). I-carbohydrate engenzileyo iguqulwa ibe ngamafutha kwaye igcinwe kwisisipha se-adipose. Ngako oko, kuyacaca ukuba kutheni ama-carbohydrate angaphezu kwezinto ezibangela ukuba kubonakale "ubuninzi" bomzimba.
Ngenxa yezinto eziphezulu ze-carbohydrate, iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeeseksi zinika umzimba wethu inani elikhulu lamakorikhi, kodwa, nangona kunjalo, alikwazi ukusetyenziswa ngokupheleleyo ekunikezeni iinkqubo ezibalulekileyo. Inani eligqithiseleyo kwezi zinto lenza ukuba kubonakale kubuninzi beentlawulo ezinamafutha, ezinefuthe elibi kakhulu kummandla weli nani.
Ngokuqinisekileyo, umxholo ophezulu wekhalhydrate awuthetha ukuba kufuneka ugqibe ngokupheleleyo ukusetyenziswa kweesekese ngokutya. Ngokomzekelo, ivumelekile ngokufanelekileyo ukufaka enye okanye ezimbini i-spoonfuls zeshukela kwikomityi yehayiti oyithandayo okanye ikhofi. Ukongeza, i-glucose ebonakalayo emzimbeni ngexesha lokuphuka kwe-carbohydrates enzima iyimfuneko kakhulu ekusebenzeni ngokuqhelekileyo kwezicubu zamascle kunye neeseli zesisindo. Ukugqitywa ngokupheleleyo kweeshukela ekudleni (i-molecule equlethe i-residu ye-glucose kunye ne-fructose) ibangela ukukhathala ngokukhawuleza kwaye kunomthelela ekunciphiseni ngokukhawuleza ekusebenzeni.
Njengoko sele kuphawuliwe, ezininzi iipesezi ziqulethe isamba esingaphezulu kwesothu, kwaye le nto i-carbohydrate engama-100%. Kwaye ke qwa lasela ukuba iilekese ezifana neesekese, iisandi okanye uboya obucocekileyo ziphantse ziquka iswekile ngendlela enye okanye enye. Ukusebenzisa ngisho neyincinci yokutya, sandisa ingozi yokukhululeka. Ukuba awukwazi ukulibala malunga neeskese etafileni lakho lekhitshini, uzama ubuncinane ukuwadla ekuseni, njengalolu daba i-carbohydrate enokutya iya kuba nexesha lokuhlukana ngokupheleleyo kunye nokukhululwa kwamandla. Kungenxa yoko, amathuba okuba ngaphezu komzimba kakhulu aya kufana nokuthelekiswa nokutya i-carbohydrates kusihlwa.
Kodwa ngaba oku kuthethwa ukuba zonke iilekese zibangelwa ngokubonakalayo ukubonakala kunye nokwakheka kobunzima bomzimba obuninzi? Kwimeko apho ufuna ukuba nomntu onobuhle kunye nomntu ohlakaniphile, kodwa angakulungele ukuzahlula izitya zakho ezizithandayo ngexesha elifanayo, unendlela eyodwa kuphela yokusebenzisa: ukusebenzisa iifomentshini usebenzisa abatshintshi bokufakelwa ushukela (umzekelo, saccharin). Ezinye zalezi zinto zithandeka ngaphezu kwazo zonke iishukela eziyaziwayo kumashumi okanye ngamakhulu amaxesha, ngoko ubukho bokuba luncinci kakhulu lwezinto ezinjalo zokutya ziya kwenza nayiphi na isidlo esiphunga ngokwaneleyo. Nangona kunjalo, ukusebenzisa abo bafaka indawo kubhetele kuninzi kakhulu kunye nexesha elifutshane.
