Zonunkhira m'mbale zimathandizira kukhala ndi moyo wautali. Kudya zakudya zokometsera kumagwirizana ndi kuchepetsa chiopsezo cha kufa msanga, asayansi atsimikiza. Malinga ndi akatswiri, nkhaniyi ikufunika kuphunziranso.
Kafukufukuyu adafunsa anthu pafupifupi 500000 ku China kuti amadya kangati zakudya zokometsera. Ophunzirawo anali azaka zapakati pa 30 ndi 79 pomwe phunziroli lidayamba ndipo adatsatiridwa kwa zaka 7. Panthawi imeneyi, anthu 20000 anafa.
Monga momwe zinakhalira, anthu omwe amadya zakudya zokometsera tsiku limodzi kapena awiri pa sabata anali ndi mwayi wochepa wa 10% kuti amwalire panthawi yophunzira poyerekeza ndi ena onse. Izi zidasindikizidwa pa Ogasiti 4 m'magazini ya The BMJ.
Komanso, anthu omwe amadya zokometsera masiku atatu pa sabata kapena kupitilira apo anali ndi mwayi wochepera 14% wa kufa poyerekeza ndi omwe amadya zokometsera zosakwana kamodzi pa sabata.
Zowona, izi zinali zongowoneratu, ndipo posachedwa kunena kuti pali ubale woyambitsa pakati pa zakudya zokometsera ndi kufa kochepa. Wolemba kafukufuku Liu Qi, pulofesa wothandizira pa Harvard School of Public Health ku Boston, akuti zambiri ndizofunikira pakati pa anthu ena.
Ofufuza sanapezebe chifukwa chake zonunkhira zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi imfa yochepa. Kafukufuku wam'mbuyomu m'maselo a nyama adawonetsa njira zingapo zomwe zingatheke. Mwachitsanzo, zakudya zokometsera zawonetsedwa kuti zimachepetsa kutupa, kuwongolera kuwonongeka kwamafuta amthupi, komanso kusintha kapangidwe ka mabakiteriya am'matumbo.
Ophunzirawo anafunsidwanso kuti amakonda zokometsera zotani—tsabola watsopano, tsabola wouma, msuzi wa chili, kapena mafuta a chilili. Mwa anthu amene ankadya zokometsera chakudya kamodzi pa sabata, ambiri ankakonda mwatsopano ndi zouma tsabola.
Pakalipano, asayansi amakhulupirira kuti ziyenera kutsimikiziridwa ngati zokometsera zili ndi mphamvu zowonjezera thanzi ndi kuchepetsa imfa, kapena ngati zimangokhala chizindikiro cha zakudya zina ndi moyo.
