Using a Black feminist embodied approach, this article analyzes the ways in which people in Santiago de Cuba draw on their own embodied practices, sensory experiences, and popular knowledge to determine what forms of ingestion (food, drink, etc.) are good for the body. Influenced by historical ideals of food consumption and colonial entanglements, Cubans use a combination of knowledge gleaned from biomedicine, official nutrition guidelines, and humoral medicine, which are not always in agreement, to ensure that they are taking care of their bodies appropriately. In addition to these external sources, they also continuously assess their own embodied responses to ingestion (e.g., pain, illness, headaches, or other bodily sensations) to determine which foods and drinks should be consumed. Practices of healthy ingestion may also vary between people and circumstance, which people learn over time and from one another, layering on another interpersonal dimension of embodied knowledge.

本文采用黑人女性主义具身方法，分析了古巴圣地亚哥的人们如何利用自身的具身体验、感官经验和大众知识来确定哪些摄入形式（食物、饮料等）对身体有益。受食物消费的历史观念和殖民纠葛的影响，古巴人综合运用从生物医学、官方营养指南和体液医学中获取的知识（这些知识并不总是一致），以确保恰当地照顾好自己的身体。除了这些外部来源，他们还不断评估自身对摄入的具身反应（如疼痛、疾病、头痛或其他身体感觉），以确定应食用哪些食物和饮料。健康摄入的做法也可能因人和环境而异，人们会随着时间推移并相互学习这些做法，从而在具身知识的人际维度上增添新的层次。[古巴、食物、具身、健康、摄入]
