Isifo sika-Alzheimer kunye nezinye iintlobo ze-dementia azifunwa ekuhambeni kweminyaka. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku besingazi ukuba inokuphetshwa okanye, ubuncinane, inciphise amathuba okubandezeleka kuyo. Sasicinga ukuba yinto yofuzo, ixesha. Ngethamsanqa, uphando olutshanje luyasikhuthaza ngakumbi malunga nale ngxaki; Kubonakala ngathi kukho oothunywashe abanokunciphisa amathuba okuba iphuhle.
Yintoni indlela yokuphila enempilo?
Kuphononongo, abaphandi bajonge ngaphezu kwabathathi-nxaxheba be-1.700 (umyinge weminyaka eyi-64), bejonge zombini i-genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia and their lifestyles. Bayivavanye indlela yokuphila ngokujolisa kwizinto ezine: ukutshaya, ukwenza umsebenzi womzimba, ukusela utywala kunye nokutya.
Besebenzisa ezi ndlela zokuziphatha zine ezisempilweni, izazinzulu ziye zafumana amanqaku kwindlela yazo yokuphila kunye nomngcipheko wemfuzo. Amanqaku endlela yokuphila abandakanya ukuba umntu uyatshaya, umsebenzi wakhe womzimba, utywala, kunye nokutya.
Iqela eliphila ubomi obusempilweni alitshayi, lizilolonga, lisela utywala obungcathu, kwaye litya ukutya okunempilo.
Abaphandi bahlele umzekelo we-a ubomi "obulungileyo". njengokungatshayi, ukuhamba ngebhayisekile ngesantya esiphakathi iiyure ezimbini ezinesiqingatha ngeveki, ukutya ukutya okunesondlo (ngaphezu kweziqhamo ezithathu kunye nemifuno ngosuku, intlanzi kabini ngeveki, kunye nenyama encinci okanye engekhoyo) , kwaye hayi sela ngaphezu kwepinti yebhiya ngosuku. Kwelinye icala, a ubomi obungathandekiyo kwakuquka ukutshaya rhoqo, ukungazilolongi, ukutya okungenamsoco (ezingaphantsi kwezintathu zeziqhamo kunye nemifuno ngeveki, ezimbini okanye ngaphezulu kwezilwanyana ezicutshungulwayo kunye nenyama ebomvu ngeveki), kunye nokusela iipuniti ezintathu zebhiya ngosuku.
Ingaba indlela yokuphila iyichaphazela njani into yokuba unesifo sengqondo esiyingozi?
Abaphandi balandele malunga neminyaka esibhozo. Ngethuba lokufunda, I-0,8% yabantu abaphila ubomi obusempilweni baye baba ne-dementia, ngelixa abantu abaphila ngokungahambi kakuhle kunye nokuxhatshazwa kwe-dementia babeyi-1,2%, umzekelo oye wabanjwa nangona abantu abanomngcipheko ophezulu wofuzo wokuphazamiseka kwengqondo bathathelwa ingqalelo.
Enyanisweni, kwabo babenotyekelo olukhulu lwemfuza, Ukuphila impilo enempilo kunciphisa amathuba abo okuba ne-dementia ngama-32%, xa kuthelekiswa nabo baphila ngendlela engafanelekanga. Ukongeza, abathathi-nxaxheba abanomngcipheko ophezulu wemfuza kunye nendlela yokuphila engafanelekanga baye baphantse amathuba aphindwe kathathu okuba abe ne-dementia kunabo basengozini ephantsi yemfuza kunye nendlela yokuphila enempilo.
Uphando alukhange lujonge ngokuthe ngqo ukuba kutheni indlela yokuphila esempilweni inokunceda ukukhusela isifo sengqondo esixhalabisayo, kodwa kubonakala ngathi indlela yokuphila esempilweni ityekele ekuphuculeni izinto ezahlukeneyo zentliziyo kunye ne-cerebrovascular risk. Ukutya ukutya okunempilo okutyebileyo kwiziqhamo kunye nemifuno kunye nezityebi kwiintlanzi eziphilileyo zentliziyo kuyaziwa ukunciphisa umngcipheko we-dementia, mhlawumbi ngokunceda ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala.
