Nakuba isilinganiso sobude besikhathi sokuphila emphakathini wethu senyukile, abantu abaningi ezinyangeni zokugcina zokuphila kwabo babuthaka, badla izidakamizwa futhi bashaywa unhlangothi ngesikhathi bebukele i-TV. Kodwa siyabazi abantu abagcwele ukuphila, abakhuthele ku-80 ngisho naku-90. Iyini imfihlo yabo?
Izinto eziningi zinethonya empilweni nokuphila isikhathi eside, okuhlanganisa ufuzo kanye nenhlanhla. Futhi isayensi yezinto eziphilayo ngokwayo ibeka imingcele yobudala: abantu abadalelwanga ukuphila phakade. Akukho ngaphezu kwamakati, izinja noma ... sequoias. Kodwa ake sibhekisise labo izimpilo zabo ezisagcwele ubusha, labo abaguga ngendlela emnandi nje kuphela, kodwa abalokothi bayeke ukuba nomdlandla.
Yini abantu abagcina impilo enempilo, yezemidlalo efana ngayo, baletha imibono emisha, amandla kanye nobubele emhlabeni wethu ngisho nangemva kokuthatha umhlalaphansi? Ucwaningo lwakamuva luveza indlela yokulondoloza nokwandisa intsha.
Incwadi kaJohn Robbins ethi Healthy at 100 ihlaziya indlela yokuphila yabantu base-Abkhazians (Caucasus), Vilcabamba (Ecuador), Hunza (Pakistan) kanye nama-Okinawans – abaningi babo baphile saka lapho beneminyaka engama-90 kunabaseMelika nganoma isiphi isikhathi ezimpilweni zabo. Izimpawu ezijwayelekile zalaba bantu wukunyakazisa umzimba, izibopho zomphakathi, kanye nokudla okusekelwe emifino (i-vegan noma eduze ne-vegan). Iqoqo lezifo ezikhungethe umphakathi wanamuhla - ukukhuluphala, isifo sikashukela, umdlavuza, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, isifo senhliziyo - azikho nje kulezi zizwe. Futhi lapho kwenziwa ukuthuthukiswa kwesimanje, kanye nokufuywa kwezimboni kanye nokudliwa kwenyama ngobuningi, lezi zifo ziyafika.
I-China iyisibonelo esicacile nesibhalwe kahle: inani lamacala ezifo ezihlobene nenyama liye landa ezweni. Imibiko yakamuva igxile ekubhebhethekeni komdlavuza webele, obekungaziwa ngaphambilini ezigodini zamaShayina.
Kungani ukudla kwemifino kuhlotshaniswa kakhulu nokuphila isikhathi eside? Izimpendulo ziyavela kumalebhu emhlabeni jikelele. Ucwaningo lwakamuva lubonise ukuthi ukudla kwemifino kuthuthukisa izindlela zokulungisa amangqamuzana. Esinye sezihluthulelo i-telomerase, elungisa ukuphuka kwe-DNA, okuvumela amangqamuzana ukuba ahlale enempilo. Ungase ukhethe ukusebenzisa u-$25 ngonyaka ekwelapheni kwe-telomerase uma lokho kungaphezu kokuthanda kwakho. Kodwa kunempilo kakhulu, ingasaphathwa elula futhi eshibhile, ukuya ku-vegan! Inani le-telomerase nomsebenzi walo liyakhula ngisho nangemva kwesikhathi esifushane se-veganism.
Olunye ucwaningo lwakamuva luthiUkuwohloka kwe-oxidative ye-DNA, amafutha namaprotheni kunganqotshwa ngokudla kwemifino. Lo mphumela ubonakale nakubantu abadala. Kafushane, Ukudla okusekelwe emifino kunciphisa amathuba okuguga ngaphambi kwesikhathi kanye nobungozi bezifo. Awudingi ukusebenzisa inani elikhulu lama-hormone okukhula ukuze ube mncane. Vele uhlale ukhuthele, ubambe iqhaza empilweni yezenhlalo, lwela ukuzwana kwangaphakathi futhi ube yi-vegan! Ukuvumelana, yiqiniso, kulula kakhulu uma ungazibulali izilwane ukuze uzidle.
