Aquesta setmana veiem la import\u00e0ncia d\u2019una bona dieta rica i variada a partir de l\u2019exemple de l\u2019escorbut, \u00a0una malaltia que es produeix per la manca al nostre organisme de vitamina C (tamb\u00e9 anomenat \u00e0cid asc\u00f2rbic) que trobem principalment en la fruita (en els c\u00edtrics com la llimona, la taronja o la llima), hortalisses i aliments frescos.<\/p>\n
Durant molt de temps aquesta malaltia es va con\u00e8ixer amb el nom de la pesta dels mariners. Es considerava contagiosa i es creia que era deguda al fred que es donava a alta mar tot i que no era aix\u00ed. Al segle XV, quan es van iniciar els grans viatges mar\u00edtims a la recerca de noves rutes mar\u00edtimes, les tripulacions dels vaixells estaven molts mesos a alta mar sense menjar fruita i aliments frescos, fet que els provocava una manca de vitamina C i com a conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncia patien entre d\u2019altres efectes, la caiguda de les dents, mala cicatritzaci\u00f3 de ferides o trastorns ps\u00edquics (deliris i canvis del comportament com nost\u00e0lgia o conductes agressives).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
El fet de con\u00e8ixer una mica en qu\u00e8 consisteix aquesta malaltia ens ha perm\u00e8s desmuntar una part d\u2019una llegenda molt famosa: L\u2019holand\u00e8s errant, portada al cinema amb la pel\u00b7l\u00edcula Pirates del Carib, a la m\u00fasica per l\u00b4\u00f2pera de Wagner o als dibuixos animats per Bob esponja.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La llegenda parla d’un vaixell fantasma, el seu capit\u00e0 i la seva tripulaci\u00f3 que no poden tornar a port, condemnats a vagar per sempre pels oceans del m\u00f3n. Es deia que el seu capit\u00e0 havia signat un pacte amb el dimoni per tenir un vaixell molt m\u00e9s r\u00e0pid que els altres i que va ser castigat per D\u00e9u per desafiar els elements en mig d\u2019una tempesta. Va jurar que no faria marxa enrere fins a haver passat el\u00a0Cap de Bona Esperan\u00e7a, encara que aix\u00f2 li represent\u00e9s arribar al judici final.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
La fantasia i la superstici\u00f3 alimenten llegendes en les que s\u2019entrellacen petites pinzellades de realitat. Aix\u00ed, s\u2019ha estudiat que l\u2019origen de la llegenda, podria ser\u00a0que la tripulaci\u00f3 estigu\u00e9s malalta possiblement per escorbut i per aquest motiu no tingu\u00e9s perm\u00eds per desembarcar a cap port i qued\u00e9s \u00a0condemnada a navegar eternament, sense possibilitat de trepitjar terra.<\/p>\n
La malaltia tamb\u00e9 podria haver afectat al capit\u00e0 en la pressa de decisions davant la tempesta. Ja hem dit que una de les conseq\u00fc\u00e8ncies de l\u2019escorbut eren els trastorns ps\u00edquics com deliris, canvis del comportament o conductes agressives.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Qu\u00e8 en penseu? A nosaltres ens agrada molt la llegenda per\u00f2 ens ha agradat con\u00e8ixer una possible causa del que va passar i que va donar origen a la m\u00edtica llegenda de l\u2019holand\u00e8s errant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
