Njengoba kutholwe abacwaningi base-Australia, ukudla okunamafutha amaningi kuthinta kabi inkumbulo yomuntu.
Ukuze bafinyelele kulesi siphetho, ososayensi bathathe ucwaningo olubandakanya abantu. Ocwaningweni, abacwaningi bakhethe abafundi abangu-110 abazacile nabaphile kahle abaneminyaka engu-20 kuya kwengama-23. Ngaphambi kokuhlolwa, ukudla kwabo ngokuyinhloko kwakuhlanganisa ukudla okunempilo. Abahlanganyeli bahlukaniswe ngamaqembu ama-2. Iqembu lokuqala laphakelwa njengenjwayelo, kanti elesibili phakathi nesonto, lalidla ama-waffles aseBelgium nokudla okusheshayo, okungukuthi imikhiqizo enamafutha amaningi.
Ekuqaleni nasekupheleni kwesonto, ababambiqhaza babedla Ibhulakufesi elabhorethri. Babe sebecelwa ukuba bahlole inkumbulo, bahlole nokuthi bayafuna yini ukudla okuthile okulimazayo.
Yini futhi?
Kuvele ukuthi abahlanganyeli beqembu lesibili baye bawohloka ku-hippocampus, okuphazamisa inkumbulo. Abahlanganyeli babonakala bekhohlwa ukuthi bavele badla futhi bafuna ukudla futhi. Ngokusho kososayensi, le miphumela ihlobene nokuthi ukusetshenziswa kokudla okusheshayo nokunye ukudla okungenamsoco kuphazamisa ukulawula ukudla futhi kubangela ukungasebenzi kahle ku-hippocampus, indawo yobuchopho enesibopho sokwakheka kwemizwa.
Abacwaningi baphinde bathola ukuthi ngemuva kwesonto bedla ukudla okunamafutha noshukela, amalungu abheka ukudla okungenamsoco noma ondlekile.
"Okunzima kakhulu ukushiya ukudla, ngokuphambene nalokho, sifuna ukudla kakhulu, futhi lokhu kuholela emonakalweni we-hippocampal," kusho abacwaningi. Futhi phakathi kwemiphumela eyaziwayo yokudla ukudla okunamafutha - ukukhuluphala kanye nesifo sikashukela.
