I-omega-3 fatty acids engagcwalisiwe, egcwele ezinhlanzini ezithile, njenge-sardine ne-salmon, ayinciphisi ingozi yokufa ngenxa yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi, ukuhlaziya okushicilelwe yi-Journal of the American Medical Association kubonise.
Umbhali ohamba phambili walolu cwaningo, uDkt. Mosef Elisef wasesibhedlela e-Ioannina (Greece), uthi akusho lutho ukuthi i-omega-3s ithathwa njengezithasiselo noma namafutha ezinhlanzi. Azinikezi isivikelo esilinganayo ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo nokushaywa unhlangothi, noma ukufa kwenhliziyo kungazelelwe.
Lokhu kuphikisana nocwaningo olushisekayo olwanyatheliswa eminyakeni eyi-10 edlule. Babonisa ukuthi ama-omega-3 acids kufomu ngalinye abonisa imiphumela enamandla yokuvikela: anciphisa ama-triglycerides, anciphisa umfutho wegazi futhi abe nomphumela omuhle esigqini senhliziyo.
Kusukela lapho, abantu baye bakhuthazwa ukuba badle imikhiqizo enothe ngalesi sithako, kanye nezithasiselo eziqukethe. Kodwa izifundo ezalandela zabonakala zaba zimbi nakakhulu. Ekuqaleni kuka-2012, ukubonwa kwabantu abayizinkulungwane ezingu-20 kwanyatheliswa. AmaKorea abonisa ukuthi i-omega-3 fatty acids ayizange ivikele isifo senhliziyo ye-ischemic noma ukunciphisa ingozi yokufa kuyo.
Ocwaningweni lwakamuva, ochwepheshe bamaGreki bahlaziye izifundo eziyi-18 ezahlola imiphumela yezempilo yezithako zokudla eziqukethe ama-omega-3 acid. Izifundo ezimbili nazo zafakwa ukukhombisa ukuthi kuzuzisa kangakanani ukudla izinhlanzi eziningi nokunye ukudla okunothe ngalesi sakhi.
Yonke le mibono ibihanjelwe abantu abangaphezu kuka-68. Nokho, abazange baqinisekise ukuthi i-omega-3 fatty acids inomphumela onenzuzo enhliziyweni. (PAP)
