Ngaba umntwana wakho uneengxaki zokulala? Makhe sithethe ngezongezo ze-melatonin.

Ngaba umntwana wakho uneengxaki zokungakwazi ukulala ebusuku okanye ukuvuka ebuthongweni? Oku kuqhelekile kakhulu endlwini enomntwana omncinci. Ngoko ke ngelo xesha, kusenokwenzeka ukuba ukhe weva ngento ebizwa ngokuba yi-'Melatonin', okanye mhlawumbi umhlobo wakho uthe, 'Owu, zama oku.'

Masifumanise okungakumbi malunga nokuba yintoni iMelatonin kwaye nokuba kulungile na ukuyinika abantwana okanye akunjalo, akunjalo?

Yintoni iMelatonin?

Ngamafutshane, imelatonin yinto yendalo eveliswa yimizimba yethu, ihormone ukuba injalo. Iveliswa yindlala encinci engaphakathi kwengqondo yethu ebizwa ngokuba yipineal gland, eqala ukukhupha imelatonin xa kuba mnyama ebusuku. Yicinge njengewotshi yokulala yendalo emzimbeni wethu. Imelatonin yiyo exelela umzimba ukuba, 'Kulungile, kumnyama ngoku, lixesha lokuba silungiselele ukulala.' Kulapho siqala khona ukuziva silele.

Emva koko, xa ilanga liphuma kusasa, xa amehlo ethu eva ukukhanya, ingqondo iyanciphisa kancinci kancinci imveliso ye-melatonin. Kulapho ke umzimba ufumana khona umqondiso wokuba 'lixesha lokuvuka' size sivuke. Le yindlela entle indalo elawula ngayo ubuthongo bethu nokuvuka kwethu.

Kodwa kukho enye into ekufuneka uyazi. Ayikokukhanya kwelanga kuphela, kodwa nokukhanya okwenziweyo, ingakumbi ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okuvela kwizixhobo ze-elektroniki ezifana neefowuni, iithebhulethi, iikhompyutha kunye neeTV, kwenza ingqondo icinge ukuba kusesemini. Emva koko, i-melatonin ayikhuphi. Ngaba le yenye yezizathu zokuba ukusebenzisa izixhobo ezinje ngaphambi kokulala ebusuku kunokulibazisa ubuthongo?

Ngoko ke zithini ezi zongezo ze-melatonin?

Njengemelatonin yendalo esithethe ngayo, le inokwenziwa kwilebhu. Imelatonin eyenziwe ngale ndlela yileyo ithengiswa kwiivenkile nakwiikhemesti njenge-'Melatonin supplements'.

Kodwa nantsi ingongoma ebaluleke kakhulu . Ezi zongezo zokutya, njengamayeza esiwasebenzisayo kwisifo esithile, azivavanywa ngokungqongqo ngaphambi kokuba zifike kwimarike. Umzekelo, eMelika, kukho umbutho obizwa ngokuba yi-`(FDA)` (Food and Drug Administration), kwaye imvume yawo ayifuneki ukuthengisa ezo zongezo. ESri Lanka, imithetho elawula ezi zongezo ayingqongqo njengaleyo yamayeza.

Yintoni ke ingxaki? Ingxaki kukuba, ezinye iibhotile kunye neepakethi ze-melatonin ezongezelelweyo zisenokungabi namanani achanekileyo e-melatonin adweliswe kwileyibhile. Isenokuba ngaphantsi koko kudweliswe, okanye inokuba ngaphezulu kakhulu. Ayipheleli apho, isenokuba nezinye izithako ezingadweliswanga kwileyibhile. Le yinto ekufuneka uyilumkele kakhulu xa ucinga ngokunika umntwana into, akunjalo?

Ezi zongezo ze-melatonin nazo ziza ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo.

• Ikwafumaneka nakwizinto ezingamanzi.

Kutshanje, ezinye iinkampani ziye zazisa iintlobo ezintsha zeemveliso ze-melatonin. Umzekelo, kukho ezo ziphefumlwa ngeempumlo, ezo zifuthwa ngomlomo, okanye ezo zifuthwa kwigumbi lokulala okanye ezijikeleze ibhedi. Nangona kunjalo, ezi ndlela zintsha azikhuthazwa ebantwaneni. Kuba ezi azikavavanywa ngokwesayensi ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwazo okanye ukusebenza kwazo.

Ngaba izongezo ze-melatonin zikhuselekile ngokwenene ebantwaneni?

Ngoku usenokuba uzibuza, 'Ngaba kukhuselekile ngokwenene ukunika abantwana izongezo ze-melatonin?' Inyani yile, iingcali zonyango zisaqhubeka nokwenza uphando olunzulu malunga nokuba izongezo ze-melatonin zikhuselekile kwaye zisebenza kangakanani ebantwaneni. Oku akukabikho nto ifunyenwe ngokupheleleyo okwangoku.

Ezinye izifundo zexesha elifutshane zibonise ukuba i-melatonin ikhuselekile ukuyisebenzisa kwiidosi eziphantsi ixesha elifutshane . Nangona kunjalo, nangona 'mhlawumbi', ayifani kuye wonke umntu. Ngamanye amaxesha, abantwana, ingakumbi abakwishumi elivisayo, banokufumana iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga.

Zithini ezi ziphumo ebezingalindelekanga?

• Intloko ebuhlungu: Abanye abantwana banokuba neentloko ezibuhlungu.
• Ukudinwa: Abanye abantu banokuziva bedidekile okanye benesiyezi.

Akupheleli apho, i-melatonin inokudibana namanye amayeza okanye ezinye izongezo. Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba umntwana usebenzisa amayeza esinye isifo, ukusebenza kwelo yeza kunokuncipha okanye kutshintshwe ngenxa ye-melatonin. Oku kuyingozi kakhulu, akunjalo?

Enye into ebuhlungu kakhulu kukuba kukho iingxelo kwihlabathi liphela zabantwana abasebenzisa i-melatonin eninzi kakhulu, oko kukuthi, bathatha i-overdose, bahlushwa yi-melatonin kwaye kufuneka bangeniswe esibhedlele. Oku kusenokuba kungenxa yokuba abantwana bayithatha ngasese kuba inencasa efana ne-gummies.

Njengoko besikhe sathetha ngaphambili, ezi zongezo zinokuba ne-melatonin engaphezulu kunokuba kutshiwo ilebhile, okanye zinokuba nezinye izithako ezingadweliswanga, ngoko ke ukuba ugqirha ucebisa i-melatonin kumntwana wakho, kubalulekile ukubuza, "Gqirha, loluphi uphawu oluthembekileyo nolunomgangatho ophezulu?"
