“Pavanenge vafinhwa, vanofunga kuti, ‘Ndingaenda hangu kunodya. … Ah, tarisai hamuna chikafu mundiro mangu, ndichanetsa amai kuti vawane chimwe chekudya,'” Mustillo anodaro.

Uye kana vachichema, varidzi vazhinji vanozvipira kuti vachengete mhuka dzavo dzinovaraidza dzichifara.

Asi zvinokwanisika kudzivirira kana kuderedza uremu:

Tsiva chikafu chakaoma nemagaba, izvo zvinowanzova nemapuroteni akawanda uye macarbohydrates mashoma. Chikafu chemumagaba zvakare inzira yakanaka yekuseta dzakasiyana nguva dzekudya dzechipfuwo chako.
