Ingabe Ukucindezeleka Kuthinta Ukuzala Kwakho?
Esikhathini lapho abesifazane bavame ukhetha ukuhlela ngokuphelele umsebenzi nezimali ngaphambi kokucabanga ngokuba nezingane. Akumangazi ukuthi abanye bethu sizothola sesiseminyakeni yokugcina yama-30 noma kuma-40 ngaphambi kokuthi siqale ngisho nokucabanga ngamadiaper nendawo yokunakekelwa kwezingane. Iqiniso elesabekayo lale ndaba ukuthi, ezinye izifundo zithi ukuzala kuqala ukwehla lapho abesifazane bejika iminyaka engama-30. Yebo, uma lokho kungesona isizathu esanele sokucindezeleka.
Ucwaningo olusha lukhomba esinye isici esiphazamisa amathuba abesifazane okuvelisa — ukucindezeleka. (Kodwa besingakaze sicindezeleke ngala mathuba vele). Ucwaningo olwedlule luhlobanise ukucindezeleka kwabesilisa nabesifazane namathuba aphansi okukhulelwa. Lolu cwaningo, nokho, luwukokuqala ngohlobo lalo ukuxhumanisa uphawu lokucindezeleka olubizwa nge-alpha-amylase nokungabi nenzalo. Kubangu-401 ababambe iqhaza ocwaningweni lwonyaka wonke, labo ababenamazinga aphezulu kakhulu alolu phawu babe nokwehla ngo-29% emandleni okuzala (ikhono lokuzala). Yize izifundo eziningi zikhombe amazinga aphezulu e-hormone i-cortisol njengophawu olucacile lokucindezeleka, lolu cwaningo alutholanga ukuxhumana phakathi kwaleyo hormone namathuba aphansi okukhulelwa.
Kodwa, kanjani ngendaba yokuthi laba besifazane bebebona kanjani bona bengaphakathi? Umcwaningi ohola iphrojekthi, u-Courtney Lynch, uthi lolu cwaningo belungagxili kuphela kulolo phawu. Abadoda nabesifazane babhala phansi izinga labona lokucindezeleka nsuku zonke (hlukene) futhi bagcwalisa ne-questionnaire ka-Cohen yokucindezeleka okuzwayo, ehlanganisa imibuzo mayelana nokubhekana nezimo, ukuphatha imisebenzi yansuku zonke, nokuzizwa ungalawula impilo yakho.
Kodwa ngokuhambisana nocwaningo lwangaphambilini lwabacwaningi (olwagxila ezingeni lokucindezeleka elibikwe umuntu uqobo), uLynch uthi, “Asitholanga ukuxhumana phakathi kwe-salivary alpha-amylase kanye nesikali sika-Cohen sokucindezeleka okuzwayo.” Ngakho-ke, nakuba singase sicabange ukuthi sibe nosuku olunzima noma oluhle kakhulu, imizimba yethu ingase icabange okunye. Naphezu kwentuthuko kwezokwelapha ezisiza abesifazane ukuthi bakhulelwe, ososayensi bathi kuseneminye imibuzo eminingi engakaphendulwa mayelana nokungabi nenzalo nokunqoba izithiyo ekuzaleni — kuhlanganise nokucindezeleka .
