Isayensi Ifakazela Ukufaneleka Ngempela Kusezandleni Zakho Kwakho
-Delile
Ukusebenza kanzima kungakuthola kuze kube manje-okungenani, yilokho isayensi ebilokhu isitshela khona iminyaka. Uma uzikhandla kakhulu, uzoba nempilo enhle futhi unempilo, kodwa abacwaningi babe nobunzima bokufakazela ukuthi ukuvivinya umzimba kubangela ngokuqondile lezi zinguquko zesikhathi eside emizimbeni nasengqondweni yethu. Ngenxa yokuhlukahluka okuningi, njengezakhi zofuzo nokukhuliswa, okusondele kakhulu abangafika ukukufakazela ukuhlangana-noma umbono wokuthi abantu abazivocavocayo bavame ukuba nempilo enhle, hhayi leyo yokuzivocavoca umzimba izimbangela izinguquko ezinempilo.
Kepha ngenxa yomkhawulo wokuguquguqukayo, abacwaningi baseFinland basondele kunanini ngaphambili ukufakazela ukuthi ukuzivocavoca kunomthelela oqondile empilweni yethu ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo kuphela kuzo zonke izici zemvelo, zokudla nezofuzo. Okuhlukile abakutholile? Amawele afanayo.
Ngokwencazelo, amawele ane-DNA efanayo futhi, ecabanga ukuthi akhuliswa ndawonye, imikhuba efanayo ekukhulisweni kwawo. Ososayensi e-University of Jyvaskyla babheka amawele afanayo ebudaleni babo ababethathe imikhuba eyehluke kakhulu yokuzivocavoca ngemuva kokushiya ikhaya labo lobuntwana. (Okuthakazelisayo ukuthi, lokhu bekunzima ukuthola amapheya amaningi kusizindalwazi samawele ase-Finnish abelane ngezindlela zokuzivocavoca ezifanayo, naphezu kokuhlala ngokuhlukana.)
Imiphumela? I-Genetics yayiwukuphela kwesici esifanayo esisele phakathi kokubili. Okokuqala, amawele angasebenzi anamandla okukhuthazela aphansi, noma amandla omzimba wakho wokusebenza kanzima isikhathi eside. Izelamani ezihlala phansi nazo bezinamaphesenti aphezulu omzimba womzimba (ngaphandle kokudla okufanayo) futhi zikhombise izimpawu zokumelana ne-insulin, okusho ukuthi isifo sikashukela sangaphambi kwesikhathi kungenzeka ukuthi siseduze. (Bheka lezi ezinye Imikhuba Emi-3 Emibi Ezokonakalisa Impilo Yakho Yekusasa.)
Futhi umehluko udlulele ngale kwenyama kuphela: Iwele elingasebenzi nalo libe ne-grey encane (izicubu zobuchopho ezikusiza ukucubungula ulwazi) kunengane yakubo ethanda umjuluko. Lokhu bekugqame kakhulu ezindaweni zobuchopho ezibandakanyeka ekulawuleni izimoto, okusho ukuthi ukuhlangana kwemisipha yabo bekuphansi kunelungu labo lomndeni elifanele.
Njengoba laba babili babenezakhi zofuzo ezifanayo nemikhuba efanayo kwaze kwaba yiminyaka embalwa edlule, lokhu okutholakele kusikisela ukuthi ukuvivinya umzimba kungawuthinta kakhulu umzimba wakho, impilo, nobuchopho ngesikhathi esifushane uma kuqhathaniswa.
Ukwengeza—futhi mhlawumbe okubaluleke nakakhulu kokunye—umehluko phakathi kwamawele asebenzayo nangasebenzi futhi uphakamisa ukuthi izakhi zofuzo azinalo izwi lokugcina lokuthi umiselwe ukuba ulunge kangakanani, kusho umlobi wocwaningo u-Urho Kujala. (Ngabe Abazali Kufanele Basolwe Ngemikhuba Yakho Yokuzivocavoca Engalungile?) Kunjalo, isayensi ikufakazele ukuthi konke okusemandleni kusezandleni zakho-ngakho-ke qhubeka!
