Abacwaningi bathi ngokwandisa ukudla kwakho kwansuku zonke nge-apula elilodwa noma iwolintshi elilodwa, unganciphisa ngokuphawulekayo ingozi yokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi ngenxa yomdlavuza noma isifo senhliziyo.
Ososayensi eNyuvesi yaseCambridge babike lokho “Ukwanda okuncane” kwenani lezithelo nemifino edliwayo kuthuthukisa impilo. Le miphumela iqinisekisiwe kuwo wonke amaqembu eminyaka yobudala, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amazinga omfutho wegazi angakanani, kubo bobabili ababhemayo nabangabhemi.
Ukutholwa kuvela ocwaningweni oluqhubekayo lwaseYurophu olubheka ukuxhumana phakathi kwamazinga omdlavuza kanye nekhwalithi yokudla okunempilo. Umsebenzi wenziwa emazweni ayishumi, abantu abangaphezu kwengxenye yesigidi bahlanganyela kuwo.
Uprofesa waseYunivesithi yaseCambridge uKay-T Howe, omunye wabaholi balolu hlelo, wathi: “Ukwandisa ukudla kwakho izithelo nemifino ngokudla okukodwa kuya kokubili ngosuku kungase kuhlotshaniswe nezinzuzo ezinkulu zempilo.”
Ucwaningo lwaluhilela izakhamuzi zaseNorfolk ezingu-30, amadoda nabesifazane abaneminyaka engu-000 kuya ku-49. Ukuze banqume ukuthi zingaki izithelo nemifino ababezidla, ososayensi balinganise amazinga egazi labo likavithamini C.
Izinga lokufa kwabantu ngenxa yesifo senhliziyo nomdlavuza laliphezulu kulabo abanamazinga aphansi kavithamini C.
“Sekukonke, amagremu angu-50 engeziwe ezithelo nemifino ngosuku anciphisa ingozi yokufa ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isifo cishe ngo-15%,” kusho uSolwazi Howe.
Ngokuvamile, ingozi yokufa ngenxa yomdlavuza ingancishiswa ngo-20%, futhi isifo senhliziyo ngo-50%.
Muva nje, iCancer Research UK kanye neTesco bethule umkhankaso okhethekile. Bakhuthaza abantu ukuthi badle izithelo nemifino kahlanu ngosuku.
Ukudla okukodwa i-apula elilodwa noma iwolintshi elilodwa, ubhanana owodwa, noma indishi encane yama-raspberries noma ama-strawberry, noma izindebe ezimbili zemifino efana ne-broccoli noma isipinashi.
Ososayensi bakusho lokho Ingxube yezinto ezitholakala ku-broccoli, enikeza le mifino ukunambitheka kwayo, ibulala i-Helicobacter pylori, igciwane elibangela umdlavuza wesisu nezilonda.
Manje ithimba lososayensi baseJohns Hopkins University eBaltimore kanye neFrench National Research Centre bazothola ukuthi abantu bangakwazi yini ukubhekana nokutheleleka nge-Helicobacter pylori bebodwa - ngosizo lwemifino.
