Uvavanyo lwabasetyhini abangaphezu kwama-4000 olwenziwe yi-UNC Chapel Hill luveze iziphumo ezibi: isithathu kwabasetyhini abane bathwaxwa kukungatyi kakuhle. Inyaniso ebuhlungu, uphononongo lubonisile, ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba umntu obhinqileyo asokole ngokutya okungahambi kakuhle kunokuba kungenjalo.
Ingcali yokuphazamiseka kokutya, uLydia Knight, uyavumelana noko. UKnight, oye wanceda amawaka ukuba akhululeke kwiingxaki zokutya—ukongezelela ekoyiseni okwakhe—akekothuswa ziziphumo zohlolisiso. Wathi, “Nangona ukutya ngendlela engafanelekanga kuyinto eqhelekileyo, amabhinqa amaninzi awaqondi ukuba eyona nto anengxaki nawo kukutya okungalungelelananga.”
Umntu unokufunda njani ukuba unengxaki yokutya? Ngokutsho kwe-American Psychological Association iimpawu zokutya okungekho mthethweni zinokubandakanya:
• Ukutya ngokugqithisileyo
• Ukubetha nokucoca
• Ukurhoxa ekuhlaleni
• Ukutya ngokweemvakalelo
Ukongezelela, umbhali uSusan Haworth-Hoeppner, kwincwadi yakhe ethi Family, Culture, and Self in the Development of Eating Disorders, wabelana ngezo mpawu zokungatyi kakuhle zinokuquka:
• Ukufihla okanye ukuchwechwa ekutyeni
• Ukulahlekelwa lulawulo xa uzinkcunkca
• Ukuziva uneentloni emva kokuzinkcinkca
• Ukuphepha iimeko ngokutya
• Ukutya ngokugqithisileyo
Ngokutsho kukaKnight, “Ulwazi lunamandla, kuba nje amabhinqa afumanisa ukuba ukutya akunangxaki, anokwenza okuthile ngaloo nto.” U-Knight, oye wadlan' indlebe nabasetyhini abangaphezu kwama-5,000 abazichaza ngokwabo ukutya ngendlela engafanelekanga, wabelana ngamacebiso akhe amathathu aphambili okufumana inkululeko ekutyeni ngendlela engafanelekanga, “Okokuqala, yeka indlela yokutya. Iziko leSizwe lezeMpilo linika ingxelo yokuba ukutya ngokutya yeyona nto iphambili yokumisela ingxaki entsha yokutya, kwaye sifumene okufanayo. Ukutya kuneempembelelo ezichaseneyo nabanethemba lazo. Okwesibini, yabelana ngamava akho nomntu omthembileyo. Ukwabelana ngebali lakho kunceda ukuphelisa umjikelo wehlazo. Okokugqibela, fumana uncedo olufanelekileyo lobuchwephesha. ”
Ukuphazamiseka kokutya yinto eqhelekileyo kumaqela ahlukeneyo abasetyhini. Uvavanyo lwe-UNC Chapel Hill lukwafumanise ukuba ukutya okungalungelelananga kuxhaphake ngokulinganayo kuzo zonke iintlanga, ubuhlanga kunye nobudala. Abasetyhini abakwiminyaka yabo yama-30 nama-40 bachaza ukutya ngendlela engafanelekanga kanye njengoko bekwishumi elivisayo. Ukuze ucombulule ubhubhane wokuphazamiseka kokutya, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba ingxaki ayisiyonto nje amantombazana akwishumi elivisayo ajongana nayo.
