I-T-shirt emhlophe ye-cotton kunye ne-linen-down-down-down ibukeka bubuhle behlobo. Kodwa leliphi kula malaphu liya kukugcina upholile ngemini eshushu, nefumileyo?
Ilinen okanye umqhaphu: Leliphi ilaphu elikugcina upholile kubushushu obuncangathi behlobo?
2024-08-24
Sithethe noosonzululwazi bamalaphu abathathu abafunda amalaphu kunye neentsinga kumgangatho wemolekyuli ukufumana impendulo eqinisekileyo, yenzululwazi malunga neyona mathiriyeli itofotofo yokuxhoma emva kwemini yehlobo. Isigqibo sabo ngamxhelo mnye: Ilinen iya kukugcina upholile.
Zontathu izazinzulu zivumile ukuba ukuba usebenza okanye uzilolonga elangeni, ungangcono kumalaphu enziweyo afana nepolyester anyangwa ngokwekhemikhali ukuze akhuphe ukubila esikhumbeni sakho ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Kodwa ukuba i-athletic wear ayisiyiyo inketho, ilinen inika eyona ndibaniselwano yokususa ubumanzi kunye nokuhamba komoya.
"Ilinen ingcono kakhulu malunga nokubonelela ngentuthuzelo," watsho uSundaresan Jayaraman, unjingalwazi wesayensi yezinto eziphathekayo kunye nobunjineli kwiGeorgia Institute of Technology. “Abantu banexhala malunga nezaqhwithi ezigqibeleleyo. Ilinen yinto endingayibiza ngokuba sisiphango esihle kuba yonke into ihamba kakuhle.
Ukufuma
Xa kushushu, esona sixhobo somzimba wakho sokuzipholisa si ukubila. Njengoko umbilo usiba ngumphunga eluswini lwakho, buthwala ubushushu. Ngoko ehlotyeni, kubalulekile ukunxiba ilaphu elinceda umzimba wakho ukhuphe ukufuma.
“Ukuthuthuzeleka kwakho kuxhomekeke kubungakanani bobumanzi bomzimba obukhutshwayo,” utshilo uYiqi Yang, unjingalwazi wezenzululwazi ngamalaphu kwiYunivesithi yaseNebraska eLincoln.
Ufuna ilaphu elifunxa ngokwaneleyo ukutsala umswakama kude nolusu lwakho, kodwa likwavumela amanzi ukuba abe ngumphunga emoyeni. Umqhaphu kunye nelinen zombini zifunxa kakhulu-kodwa umqhaphu ugcina amanzi ngelixa ilinen iyawayeka, ngokukaJayaraman.
“Ukuba kuyenzeka ukuba uhambe ngemini eshushu, efumileyo unxibe ihempe yomqhaphu yangaphantsi, xa ufika ekhaya, ihempe yangaphantsi ibe imanzi ngokupheleleyo kuba ithatha wonke umbilo kuwe, kodwa ayinaso isakhono sokuhambisa umphunga osuka kwisambatho sakho uwuse kwilizwe langaphandle,” utshilo. “Yiyo loo nto uziva ukhathazekile.”
Uyakwazi ukubona ukuba kutheni ikotoni kunye nelinen ziziphatha ngendlela eyahlukileyo xa ubeka iifayili zabo phantsi kwe-microscope, utshilo uLarissa Marie Shepherd, uprofesa oncedisayo wesayensi yefiber kwiYunivesithi yaseCornell. Iintsinga zomqhaphu, eziphuma kwiibholi ezifuzileyo eziswaya imbewu yomqhaphu, zikhangeleka njengeribhoni kwaye zithande ukugcwala iikinks, ukujija nokugoba. Imicu yelinen, evela kwizikhondo zeendiza ezinde, ezinde zeflakisi, zikhangeleka njengeentonga ze-bamboo kwaye zithande ukuba tye kwaye ziqine.
"Iribhoni imilo yomqhaphu inokubamba amanzi ngakumbi," utshilo u-Shepherd. “Iflakisi ithe tye, ngoko akukho ndawo zininzi apho amanzi anokuvaleleka ngaphakathi.”
Ukuhamba komoya
Umzimba wakho ukwakhupha ubushushu xa umoya opholileyo uhamba phezu kwesikhumba sakho - ke ngemini eshushu, ufuna ukunxiba ilaphu eliphefumlayo.
Ilinen nayo inenzuzo apha, utshilo uJayaraman. Iintsinga zayo zijiyile kunezomqhaphu, ngoko ke amalaphu elinen athanda ukuba nesibalo esisezantsi somsonto kunye nokuvuleleka phakathi kwemisonto. “Oko kuthetha ukuba umoya unokudlula ngokulula,” utshilo.
Kodwa ukubalwa kwemisonto kunokwahluka ngokubanzi ukusuka kwisambatho ukuya kwisinxibo. UMalusi uthe kufuneka uzigwebe ngokwakho ilaphu. “Ukuba ubona ukukhanya kuyo, amanzi nomoya unokungena kuyo,” utshilo.
Enye inzuzo enkulu yelinen kukuqina kwayo. Imicu yelinen eqinile ikholisa ukubamba imilo yabo ngcono kunekotoni, ibangela ukuba iimpahla zelinen zixhonywe kude nomzimba wakho ngelixa iimpahla zomqhaphu zithande ukubambelela eluswini lwakho. Ukushiya isithuba esingakumbi sokuhamba komoya phakathi kweempahla zakho kwaye ulusu lwakho luyakupholisa kwaye luncede ukubila kuphume umphunga.
Umgca ongezantsi
Ngelixa ilinen, ngokwesayensi, ilaphu elipholileyo kunomqhaphu, ayisiyiyo kuphela into ekufuneka uyiqwalasele xa ukhetha iimpahla.
Ngokomzekelo, ukuqina kwelinen-eluncedo kakhulu ekuvumeleni umoya uhambe phezu kwesikhumba sakho-kunokuthi uhlikihle abanye abantu ngendlela engafanelekanga. “Umntu unokukhululeka ngakumbi ngomqhaphu kuba uvakala uthambile. "Ke oko kuxhomekeke kukhetho lomntu."
Ukuqina kwelinen kwenza ukuba ibe nemibimbi, ifuna i-ayina ngaphezulu - ngaphandle kokuba ufuna ukuya kwinkangeleko ene-rumpled. "Imibimbi inokwenza inkcazo yefashoni malunga nokuba yindoda epholileyo, ecetywayo," utshilo uJayaraman.
"Ngamanye amaxesha ukhetho olunesitayile luchasene nokukhululeka. Imalunga neyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuwe," utshilo uYang. Kodwa ndiyinjineli yeekhemikhali, ke ngelishwa andazi nto ngefashoni.
