I-caffeine ingalimaza amehlo akho futhi ingozi yakho ye-glaucoma iphindwe kathathu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ukusetshenziswa kakhulu kwe-caffeine kungaholela ekucindezelekeni okukhulu kwamehlo, okungenye yezinto eziyingozi kakhulu ze-glaucoma, isifo samehlo esingadala ubumpumputhe.
I-caffeine: isici esiyingozi se-glaucoma
Noma ubani odla i-caffeine eningi nsuku zonke angandisa ingozi yokuba ne-glaucoma (i-glaucoma). Kubantu abathambekele kofuzo ku-glaucoma (okungukuthi abanomlando womndeni we-glaucoma), ingozi icishe iphindwe kane. Ngemuva kokuwohloka kwe-macular, i-glaucoma yisifo samehlo esivame ukuholela ebumpumputheni. Lesi sifo sivame ukukhula ngobuqili, ngakho-ke sibonakala kuphela esigabeni esithuthukisiwe, okungukuthi lapho ukuphazamiseka okubukwayo sekuvele kwenzeka.
I-caffeine inyusa umfutho wamehlo
Ukwenyuka komfutho wamehlo kubhekwa njengento ebalulekile engozini ye-glaucoma. Uma uyingxenye yeqembu elisengozini ye-glaucoma, ungagwema lezo zici eziholela ekucindezelekeni okukhulu kwamehlo. Ngokocwaningo, i-caffeine ingenye yalezi zici. Lolu cwaningo lwenziwe yi-Icahn School of Medicine eNtabeni iSinayi futhi lwashicilelwa kumagazini we-Ophthalmology ngoJuni 2021.
Ihlole idatha yabahlanganyeli abangaphezu kuka-120,000 kusukela eminyakeni ephakathi kuka-2006 no-2010. Abahlanganyeli babephakathi kweminyaka engu-39 kanye ne-73 ubudala. Kwatholakala ukuthi abantu abanofuzo oluqinile lokuthambekela komfutho ophakeme wamehlo baba ne-glaucoma ikakhulukazi uma bedla i-caffeine eningi.
Izinkomishi ezintathu zekhofi ngosuku izikhathi ezine ingozi ye-glaucoma
Labo abadla ngaphezu kuka-480 mg we-caffeine nsuku zonke (cishe izinkomishi zekhofi ezingaba ngu-4 150 ml) babenomfutho wamehlo owawungu-0.35 mmHg ngaphezu kweziguli eziphuze i-caffeine encane noma ezingadli nhlobo. (Kusuka ku-24 mmHg umuntu ukhuluma ngomfutho wamehlo ophezulu, phakathi kuka-10 no-20 mmHg kukhona ukucindezela kwamehlo okuvamile).
Iziguli eqenjini ezinofuzo oluphakeme kakhulu lokuthambekela komfutho ophakeme wamehlo zazicishe zibe nengozi ephindwe kane yokuba ne-glaucoma uma zidla ngaphezu kuka-321 mg we-caffeine ngosuku, okulingana nezinkomishi zekhofi ezingaphansi kwezi-3 (uma kuqhathaniswa ne-low- i-caffeine -Abathengi abangenazo izakhi zofuzo).
Yehlisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-caffeine uma unengozi eyengeziwe ye-glaucoma
"Iziguli ze-glaucoma zivame ukubuza ukuthi yini ezingayenza ukuze zivikele impilo yazo yamehlo, yiziphi izinguquko zokudla noma indlela yokuphila okungadingeka, indawo engatholi ukunakwa okuncane kwesayensi kuze kube yimanje," kusho umlobi wocwaningo uDkt. Anthony Khawaja, uProfesa we-Ophthalmology e-University College. London (UCL) kanye noDokotela Ohlinza Amehlo eMoorfields Eye Hospital.
Kuze kube manje, akukwazanga ukunikeza impendulo yalo mbuzo ngokombono wemithi evamile. Nokho, ngokocwaningo olungenhla, izazi zamehlo zinganikeza okungenani ithiphu lokuthi abantu abane-glaucoma emndenini kufanele bahlole indlela abayisebenzisa ngayo i-caffeine futhi, uma kudingekile, banciphise.
Indlela yokuvimbela i-glaucoma
Yebo, i-caffeine ayitholakali nje ekhofini, ngakho-ke uma ufuna ukunciphisa ukudla kwakho okune-caffeine, kufanele futhi ugweme noma unciphise ukusetshenziswa kweminye imikhiqizo equkethe i-caffeine, njengeziphuzo ezinikeza amandla, iziphuzo ezibandayo ezine-caffeine (i-cola), kanye ushokoledi one-caffeine (isb. B. ngokugcwaliswa kwekhofi).
