Utafiti mpya umefunua muundo unaohusiana na tabia ya kula ya watu wazima wa Amerika. Mtu mzima wa wastani nchini Marekani hula vitafunio vya thamani ya mlo kila siku. Chaguo hizi za vitafunio duni hujumuisha karibu robo ya ulaji wa kalori ya kila siku, na takriban theluthi moja ya sukari inayoongezwa kila siku, utafiti unasema.<\/p>\n

Watafiti kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Jimbo la Ohio walikuja na matokeo haya ya kushangaza baada ya kuangalia data ya zaidi ya watu 20,000. Kwa wastani, watu wazima wa Marekani hutumia kalori 400 hadi 500 kwa siku katika vitafunio, ambayo mara nyingi ni zaidi ya kile wangeweza kula kwa kifungua kinywa. The kusoma<\/a> ilichapishwa katika PLOS Global Public Health.<\/p>\n

Ingawa tabia ya ulafi ya Wamarekani inajulikana sana, "ukubwa wa athari hautambuliki hadi utakapoitazama," mwandishi mkuu wa utafiti Christopher Taylor alisema katika taarifa ya habari<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"Vitafunio vinachangia ulaji wa thamani ya mlo kwa kile tunachokula bila kuwa mlo. Unajua nini chakula cha jioni kitakuwa: protini, sahani ya upande au mbili. Lakini ikiwa unakula mlo wa kile unachokula kwa vitafunio, inakuwa hali tofauti kabisa, kwa ujumla, wanga, sukari, si protini nyingi, si matunda mengi, si mboga. Kwa hivyo sio mlo kamili,\u201d Taylor aliongeza.<\/p>\n

Washiriki walikuwa na umri wa zaidi ya miaka 30 na walikuwa sehemu ya Utafiti wa Kitaifa wa Afya na Lishe kutoka 2005 hadi 2016. Watafiti walikusanya data ya chakula cha washiriki, ikiwa ni pamoja na maelezo ya kile walichokula na wakati walichotumiwa.<\/p>\n

"Kati ya sampuli nzima ya utafiti, vitafunio vilichangia kati ya 19.5% na 22.4% ya jumla ya ulaji wa nishati - huku vikichangia ubora mdogo sana wa lishe. Kwa utaratibu wa kushuka kwa uwiano, vitafunio vilijumuisha vyakula vya urahisi vilivyo na wanga na mafuta, pipi, vinywaji vya pombe, vinywaji visivyo na pombe ambavyo ni pamoja na vinywaji vyenye sukari, protini, maziwa na maziwa, matunda, nafaka na, nyuma sana, mboga, \u201d watafiti waliandika.<\/p>\n

Washiriki waliokuwa wakidhibiti kisukari cha aina ya 2 walikula vyakula na vitafunwa vya sukari ikilinganishwa na wale wasio na hali hiyo. Timu inaamini kuwa hii ni dalili kwamba elimu ya lishe ina faida kwa watu walio na ugonjwa huo.<\/p>\n

"Elimu ya ugonjwa wa kisukari inaonekana kama inafanya kazi, lakini tunaweza kuhitaji kurudisha elimu kwa watu walio katika hatari ya ugonjwa wa kisukari na hata kwa watu walio na viwango vya kawaida vya sukari kwenye damu ili kuanza kuboresha tabia za lishe kabla ya watu kupata magonjwa sugu," Taylor alisema.<\/p>\n

Kulingana na matokeo yao, watafiti wanapendekeza kubadilisha vitafunio vyenye lishe kidogo na vile vya afya.<\/p>\n

"Tunahitaji kutoka kwa sukari iliyoongezwa kidogo hadi mifumo bora ya vitafunio. Tumefikia hatua ya kuchafua vyakula vya mtu binafsi, lakini inabidi tuangalie picha nzima. Kuondoa sukari iliyoongezwa hakutafanya vitamini C, vitamini D, fosforasi na chuma kuwa bora kiotomatiki. Na ikiwa tutachukua nafaka iliyosafishwa, tunapoteza virutubisho ambavyo huja na urutubishaji,\u201d Taylor alisema.<\/p>\n

Watafiti wanasema watu wanapaswa kufanya uchaguzi wa vitafunio baada ya kuzingatia ulaji wao wa kila siku wa chakula na kuangalia ikiwa vitafunio vilivyochaguliwa vinalingana na mahitaji yao ya lishe.<\/p>\n

An average adult in the U.S. takes a meal's worth of snacks every day. These less nutritional snack choices constitute almost a quarter of daily caloric intake, and approximately one-third of daily added sugar, the study says.Researchers from Ohio State University came up with these shocking findings after looking through the data of more than 20,000 people. On average, U.S. adults consume 400 to 500 calories a day in snacks, which is often much more than what they would eat for breakfast. The study was published in PLOS Global Public Health.Although the snacking habit of Americans is well known, "the magnitude of the impact isn't realized until you actually look at it," senior study author Christopher Taylor said in a news release."Snacks are contributing a meal's worth of intake to what we eat without it actually being a meal. You know what dinner is going to be: a protein, a side dish or two. But if you eat a meal of what you eat for snacks, it becomes a completely different scenario of, generally, carbohydrates, sugars, not much protein, not much fruit, not a vegetable. So it's not a fully well-rounded meal," Taylor added.The participants were over the age of 30 and were part of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2016. Researchers collected the dietary data of participants, including the details of what they ate and when they were consumed."Among the whole survey sample, snacks accounted for between 19.5% and 22.4% of total energy intake \u2013 while contributing very little nutritional quality. In descending order of proportion, snacks consisted of convenience foods high in carbohydrates and fats, sweets, alcoholic beverages, non-alcoholic drinks that include sugar-sweetened beverages, protein, milk and dairy, fruits, grains and, lagging far behind, vegetables," researchers wrote.Participants who were controlling their type 2 diabetes ate fewer sugary foods and snacks compared to those without the condition. The team believes this is an indication that dietary education is beneficial to people with the disease."Diabetes education looks like it's working, but we might need to bump education back to people who are at risk for diabetes and even to people with normal blood glucose levels to start improving dietary behaviors before people develop chronic disease," Taylor said.Based on their findings, researchers recommend substituting less nutritional snacks with healthier ones."We need to go from just less added sugar to healthier snacking patterns. We've gotten to the point of demonizing individual foods, but we have to look at the total picture. Removing added sugars won't automatically make vitamin C, vitamin D, phosphorus, and iron better. And if we take out refined grains, we lose nutrients that come with fortification," Taylor said.Researchers say people should make snack choices after considering their overall daily dietary intake and checking if the selected snack aligns with their nutritional needs.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/sw\/wamarekani-hula-mlo-wa-ziada-kila-siku-kupitia-vitafunio-hujumuisha-karibu-robo-ya-ulaji-wa-kalori-ya-kila-siku\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-18T11:07:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/americans-eat-an-extra-meal-daily-through-snacking-snacks-constitute-nearly-quarter-of-daily-caloric-intake.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"dakika 2\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/americans-eat-an-extra-meal-daily-through-snacking-snacks-constitute-nearly-quarter-of-daily-caloric-intake\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/americans-eat-an-extra-meal-daily-through-snacking-snacks-constitute-nearly-quarter-of-daily-caloric-intake\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"Americans Eat An Extra Meal Daily Through Snacking;
