Umbuzo: Ingabe kukhona ukudla okunganciphisa ingozi yokuba ne-Alzheimer's?

A: Isifo i-Alzheimer's siwuhlobo olujwayeleke kakhulu lokuwohloka komqondo, esibalelwa kumaphesenti angama-80 abantu abaxilongwayo. Abangaphezu koyedwa kwabayisishiyagalolunye baseMelika abaneminyaka engaphezu kwengama-65 banesifo, esibonakala ngokwakhiwa kwezinhlupho ezithile ebuchosheni ezenza ukwehla kwengqondo. Ngenkathi izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zeziguli ze-Alzheimer kungabesifazane, lesi sifo asibonakali siqonde ngqo kubantu besifazane kepha kunalokho, ngenxa yempilo yabo ende uma kuqhathaniswa nabesilisa, abesifazane abaningi bahluphekile kunabesilisa.

Ucwaningo mayelana nokuvinjelwa kwesifo i-Alzheimer's luyaqhubeka, futhi inqubo efanele yokudla okunempilo isazonqunywa. Kodwa-ke, kunezindlela ezithile zokudla, ukudla, nezakhamzimba okukhonjiswa ucwaningo kunganciphisa ubungozi besifo i-Alzheimer's.

1. Amafutha omnqumo. Ukubuyekezwa kuka-2013 kwezifundo eziyi-12 kwathola ukuthi ukunamathela ekudleni kwaseMedithera kwakuhlotshaniswa nokuncipha kwengozi yesifo i-Alzheimer's. Uwoyela womnqumo ongeyona intombi, okungcono uwoyela womnqumo ocindezelwa kuqala ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwawo okune-antioxidant, kuyisici esiyisisekelo sokudla kwaseMedithera. Ngo-2013, ucwaningo lokuqala lwashicilelwa ku- I-PLosONE ithole ukuthi i-antioxidant eningi kakhulu etholakala emafutheni omnqumo, i-oleuropein aglycone, yayisebenza ngempumelelo ekwehliseni ukwakheka kwama-plaque okwakuwuphawu lwesifo i-Alzheimer's.

2. I-salmon. Ubuchopho buyindawo enkulu yamafutha omega-3 amade we-EPA ne-DHA. Lawa mafutha adlala indima ebalulekile yokwakhiwa njengengxenye yolwelwesi lweselula ebuchosheni bakho kanye nokuphoyisa nokuqeda ukuvuvukala ngokweqile. Umbono wokusetshenziswa kwe-EPA ne-DHA ekuvikeleni nasekwelapheni isifo i-Alzheimer uqinile, kepha izivivinyo zomtholampilo azikakhombisi imiphumela ecacile. Lokhu kungabangelwa ukungabi nemithamo eyanele ye-EPA ne-DHA, noma kufushane kakhulu ngezikhathi zokufunda. Kuze kube manje, ama-omega 3s awakhonjiswanga ukwenza ngcono izimo lapho i-Alzheimer's isivele ikhona, kepha kube nemiphumela emihle maqondana nokwehla kokuqonda kwengqondo ngaphambi kokuqala kwesifo i-Alzheimer's. I-Salmon ingumthombo omuhle, ophansi we-mercury we-EPA ne-DHA.

3. I-Souvenaid. Lesi siphuzo esinomsoco wezokwelapha sathuthukiswa abacwaningi e-MIT ngo-2002 ukunciphisa izimpawu zesifo i-Alzheimer's. Yakhelwe ukusekela ngokomsoco ukwakheka kwama-neuronal synapses amasha ebuchosheni futhi iqukethe amafutha e-omega-3, amavithamini B, i-choline, i-phospholipids, i-vitamin E, i-selenium, ne-uridine monophosphate, esetshenziselwa ukwakhiwa kolwelwesi lwamangqamuzana. ukugcizelela ikakhulukazi ebuchosheni.

I-Souvenaid okwamanje ayitholakali ukuthi ithengiswe, kodwa ungathola cishe zonke izakhamzimba ezitholakala kwifomula ekudleni kwakho ngokudla okufana namantongomane (imithombo kavithamini E, amavithamini B, ne-selenium), inhlanzi enamafutha (amafutha e-omega-3), namaqanda (choline kanye phospholipids). I-uridine monophosphate itholakala kwifomu yayo ye-mRNA ekudleni okuningi, kodwa ngeshwa leli fomu lehliswa kalula emathunjini akho. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna ukuvuna izinzuzo ezingaba khona zalesi sithako, ukwesekwa kuyafaneleka.

Ekugcineni, kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi impilo yakho yonke inomthelela engozini yesifo i-Alzheimer's. Abantu abanezinye izinkinga zezempilo ezifana nomfutho wegazi ophakeme, i-cholesterol ephakeme, kanye nesisindo somzimba esiphakeme (ukukhuluphala) bangaba sengozini enkulu yokuthola isifo i-Alzheimer's. Ngokugxila ekuthuthukiseni impilo yakho yonke, uzokwazi futhi ukunciphisa ingozi yesifo i-Alzheimer's.
