Izimpawu Nezingozi Zokudla Ngokweqile Ezinjeni

Uyayithanda inja yakho futhi ufuna ukuyipha ukudla okungcono kakhulu ukuyigcina iphilile. Kodwa uma kuziwa ekunikezeni usayizi noma inani lokuphatha ngosuku, awuqiniseki ukuthi awusidli ngokweqile isilwane sakho. Njengakubantu, ziningi izingozi zempilo ezihlobene nokudla inja ngokweqile. I-Pet Obesity Prevention Association ibika ukuthi izinja ezingaba ngu-54% e-United States zikhuluphele noma zikhuluphele. Ukudla ukudla kakhulu noma ukudla okudliwayo kungaholela ekukhuluphaleni, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi imikhuba yokudla yesilwane sakho esifuywayo sisigcina sinempilo.

Yini okufanele ibe usayizi wengxenye yenja

Indlela engcono kakhulu yokuthola ukuthi ukudla kwenja yakho kunjani ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho wezilwane. Ngaphambi kokuvakasha, linganisa isilinganiso sikasayizi wokuphakelwa kokudla okumanzi noma okomile futhi uqaphele ukuthi inja yakho idla kangaki (futhi ngasiphi isikhathi). Gcina umbhalo wokuthi umupha kaningi kangakanani izibiliboco nokuthi umnika kanjani izibiliboco—kuhlanganise nokudla okuluhlaza, ibhotela lamantongomane, noma izinsalela zetafula.

Bonisa wonke amarekhodi akho kudokotela wakho wezilwane ukuze azi ukuthi mangaki amakholori inja yakho ewadlayo nokuthi yiziphi izithako ezikukudla kwayo. Lokhu kuzosiza uchwepheshe aqinisekise ukuthi umdlwane wakho uthola amavithamini, imisoco kanye namaminerali awadingayo ukuze uthole ukudla okunomsoco.

Izinhlobo eziningi zokudla kwezilwane ezifuywayo zincoma ukunikeza osayizi abasuselwe esisindweni senja. Kodwa, khumbula ukuthi uma inja yakho isivele ikhuluphele, khona-ke lezi zincomo zingase zingabi usizo ngendlela ongathanda ngayo. Ungalehlisi kakhulu inani lokudla – buza udokotela wakho wezilwane ngalokhu kuqala.

Izimpawu zenja edla ngokweqile

Ngeshwa, azikho izimpawu eziningi ezisobala zokuthi wondla kakhulu isilwane sakho. UMonique Udell, isazi sokuziphatha kwezilwane e-Oregon State University, utshele i-National Geographic ukuthi “Abantu abaningi abazi noma bayidlisa ngokweqile inja yabo noma cha. Lapho zibona izinja zabanye abantu ezinesisindo esifanayo, kuba nzima nakakhulu ukuthi zibone ukuthi isilwane sazo sikhuluphele yini.” Ungase uqaphele ukuthi inja ekhuluphele ngokweqile ayinawo amandla noma inenkinga yokuzivocavoca, kodwa lokhu akunjalo ngaso sonke isikhathi.

Shayela inja ubuke. Uma uzizwa kalula izimbambo zakhe (kodwa ungaziboni) futhi “unokhalo” ngemuva kwesifuba sakhe, inja yakho cishe iyisisindo esifanele somzimba wayo. Izimbambo ezimbozwe ungqimba lwamafutha, noma ukhalo olungabonakali kahle izimpawu zokuthi isilwane sikhuluphele.

Uma unezinja eziningi, zingadinga izinhlobo ezahlukene zokudla, kuye ngeminyaka yazo kanye nohlobo lwazo. Kungenzeka ukuthi ukudla okugcwele ngesandla okufanayo kungaba kukhulu ngokwedlulele enja A futhi kujwayelekile enja B.

Izingozi Ezihlotshaniswa Nokudlisa Inja Yakho Ngokweqile

Ziningi izingozi zesikhathi esifushane nezesikhathi eside zokudlisa isilwane esifuywayo ngokweqile. Ngokombiko we-Banfield Hospital's 2017 Pet Health Report, ukudlisa inja ngokweqile kushayela izikweletu zezokwelapha zabanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo. Lo mbiko usikisela ukuthi abanikazi bezinja ezikhuluphele bachitha amaphesenti angu-17 ngaphezulu empilweni yabo kunalezo ezinezilwane ezifuywayo ezinesisindo esinempilo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, basebenzisa cishe amaphesenti angu-25 ngaphezulu emithini.

Inani elichithwa ezidingweni zezokwelapha akuyona yodwa into ekhathazayo. Okubi nakakhulu izingozi zezempilo izilwane ezibhekana nazo. Ngokwemiphumela yePet Health Survey, izinga lezifo ezifana nesifo samathambo nezinkinga zokuphefumula senyuke ngamandla njengoba izinja eziningi zikhuluphala ngokweqile. Ukuncipha kokuhamba ngenxa yokukhuluphala nakho kwenza ukululama kube nzima kakhulu, isibonelo ezinjeni ezinelunga eliphukile. Okokugcina, izilwane ezikhuluphele zivame ukuhlala kancane futhi kube nzima ukuzivivinya. Ngenxa yalokhu, baba sengozini enkulu yesifo senhliziyo.

Uyasithanda isilwane sakho futhi ungenza noma yini ukusigcina singaguli. Chitha isikhathi esithile ubheka imikhuba yokudla kwesilwane sakho futhi ukhulume nodokotela wakho wezilwane mayelana nanoma yiziphi izinguquko ekudleni kwakhe okudingeka zenziwe. Yebo, kungenzeka ukuthi isilwane sakho sicela ukudla noma sikubuka kabuhlungu, kodwa izinja azinalo izwi elingaphakathi elizitshela ukuthi zisuthi, futhi ngokuvamile zidla kakhulu kunalokho okufanele. Wena ngokwakho kufanele usize inja yehlise isisindo ngokumnika izingxenye ezifanele zokudla.
