Umzimba wethu ukhiqiza into yokwakha uqwanga, okuthiwa glucosamine, okungabuye kuthathwe njengefomu lokwengeza. Sekuyiminyaka abantu bephendukela ezithasiselweni ze-glucosamine ukuze banciphise ubuhlungu be-osteoarthritis, kodwa ucwaningo olusha lufuna ukuphakamisa ukuthi ukuthatha lesi sengezo kungase kube nenye inzuzo "efihliwe".
I-glucosamine inamiphi imiphumela emizimbeni yethu?
En isifundo, eyanyatheliswa kuyi-BMJ, abacwaningi babuza abantu abadala abangaphezu kuka-466.000, abaneminyaka engu-40 kuya ku-69, ukuthola ukuthi basebenzisa izithako ze-glucosamine. Babenesithakazelo nokwazi indlela abadla ngayo nokuthi bazivocavoca kaningi kangakanani. Babalandela iminyaka engaphezu kweyisikhombisa, ukuze babone ukuthi bangaki ababulawa isifo senhliziyo, isifo senhliziyo noma unhlangothi.
Bathole ukuthi ukuthatha lesi sidakamizwa njalo kuhlotshaniswa nengozi ephansi ngo-15% yokuba nesifo isifo senhliziyo; Ngaphezu kwalokho, kuphinde kwatholakala ukuthi i- Ingozi yokufa okuhlobene nesifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi kwaba ngaphansi kwama-22%. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo lubonise ukuthi ukuthatha izithasiselo kunciphisa ingozi isifo senhliziyo ngo-18% kanye a unhlangothi ku-9%.
Kungani lesi sengezo singavikela uhlelo lwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi?
Ososayensi abazi ngempela ukuthi kungani izithasiselo zeglucosamine zingavikela isimiso senhliziyo, kodwa umbhali wocwaningo uLu Qi unemibono embalwa. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, Ucwaningo ka-2012 bathola ukuthi i-glucosamine supplements ehlisa amazinga e-C-reactive protein, uphawu lokuvuvukala emzimbeni wonke. Futhi sonke siyazi ukuthi ukuvuvukala kunesibopho sobuhlungu obuhlangene be-arthritis, kanye nokuba nomthelela othile ekuthuthukiseni isifo senhliziyo.
Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi i-glucosamine lilingisa imiphumela enempilo yenhliziyo yokudla okune-carb ephansi, kusho u-Qi. Olunye uphenyo baye babonisa ukuthi ukudla okune-carbohydrate ephansi kusisiza ukuthi sisivikele ezicini eziyingozi zenhliziyo kanye nasezifweni zenhliziyo.
Kufanele kuqashelwe ukuthi ucwaningo lubonisa imiphumela yokubuka. Lokho kusho ukuthi, angeke kube ngu-100% ofakazelwe ukuthi izithako ze-glucosamine zidala ukunciphisa izinkinga zenhliziyo; siyazi nje ukuthi abantu abazithathayo mancane amathuba okuthi bahlangabezane nazo. Kusekuseni kakhulu ukuthi ungancoma umthamo ukuze uzame ukuvikela inhliziyo yakho, kodwa uma ukuthathela ukunciphisa ubuhlungu emalungeni akho, manje usuwazi ngomunye umphumela onenzuzo owawungaziwa ngaphambili.
