Sikhuluma ngezifo zenhliziyo njengezifo zempucuko. Awasewona amacala angawodwa, inkinga ithinta ingxenye enkulu yomphakathi, futhi lokhu kuwuphawu lokuthi akufanele ithathwe kancane. Ikakhulukazi ngoba inhliziyo ingenye yezitho ezibaluleke kakhulu emizimbeni yethu. Yingakho udinga ukubanakekela.
Inhliziyo isenkabeni yesifuba sethu, futhi ohlangothini lwesokudla ivulela iphaphu elingakwesobunxele. Ngakho-ke umbono oyiphutha ovamile wokuthi ungakwesobunxele kuphela. Isabela kuzo zonke izimo zethu ezingokomzwelo, kusukela enjabulweni, enjabulweni nothando, kuya ekuphelelweni yithemba nokwethuka. Ezimweni ezinjalo, imvamisa yokushaywa kwayo iphindaphindwa ukuze kulethwe umoya-mpilo owengeziwe kumaseli.
Esinye sezifo ezivame kakhulu, esivele sifakiwe eqenjini lempucuko, i-atherosclerosis. Kungaholela ku-ischemia yezitho zangaphakathi ngenxa yokulimala kwezindonga zemithambo yegazi, futhi ngenxa yalokho ukuncipha kwazo. Izimbangela zalesi sifo azikaqondwa ngokugcwele. Ngokuqinisekile, kuthinteka indlela yokuphila engalungile, ukudla okungalungile.
Siphinde sizwe kaningi mayelana namacala okuhlaselwa yinhliziyo. Ngokuvamile sihlasela abantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-40 ubudala. Abantu ababhema ugwayi, abanomfutho wegazi ophakeme, isifo sikashukela, i-cholesterol ephezulu, noma abanesifo senhliziyo kwamanye amalungu omndeni basengozini. Ukuhlaselwa yinhliziyo kungenye yezimbangela ezivame kakhulu zokufa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukukubona ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka. Imvamisa, izimpawu eziyinhloko wukuphelelwa umoya nobuhlungu besifuba, obungahlala cishe imizuzu engama-20. Kulokhu, kufanele uxhumane nodokotela ngokushesha noma ushayele i-ambulensi.
Ngezinkinga zemisipha yenhliziyo, ukunakwa kufanele futhi kukhokhwe ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa kanye nomthwalo wezakhi zofuzo. Kaningi azibonakali eminyakeni yokuqala yokuphila futhi zithinta impilo yethu kamuva. Yingakho ukuvimbela kanye nokuhlolwa okuvamile kubaluleke kakhulu. Izimpawu ezibonakala “ngeso lenyama” kungase kube ucingo lokugcina lokuqala ukwelashwa.
Njengoba sikhula, inhliziyo yethu iba buthakathaka futhi iba buthakathaka, ngakho kubaluleke nakakhulu ukuyinakekela. Ososayensi baye bafakazela ukuthi, ngokwesibonelo, ngaphezu kwe-50% yabantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 bahlushwa umfutho wegazi ophakeme. Lokhu kuwuhlelo lwemvelo lwezinto, ngoba lapho sibadala, ingcindezi iyanda, kodwa izizathu zibuye zilele endleleni yethu yokuphila. Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile kuyimbangela evame kakhulu.
Njengamanje, kunenombolo enkulu yezinto zangaphandle ngenxa yokuthi inhliziyo yethu iqala ukugula futhi ayisasebenzi kahle. Okokuqala, ukucindezeleka ngokweqile kuyamlimaza. Lapho iba njalo futhi ihlala isikhathi eside, iba yimbi kakhulu. Ukwengeza kulokhu ukudla okungalungile, ukusetshenziswa kwezikhuthazi ezifana notshwala nogwayi kunomthelela ngokushesha ekwehliseni ukusebenza kahle kwalo msipha obaluleke kakhulu.
Ukuze ubhekane ngokuphumelelayo nalezi zinhlobo zezinkinga, kufanele uqale wazi ukuthi kukhona okungalungile enhliziyweni yethu. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukunaka lezi zimpawu ezilandelayo:
- ukuphefumula kanzima okubangelwa ukuvivinya umzimba ngokweqile,
- ukukhathala okuvamile, isikhathi eside,
- isicanucanu, ukuquleka, ukulahlekelwa ukwazi,
- ukushaya kwenhliziyo okusheshayo, lokho okubizwa ngokuthi ukushaya kwenhliziyo
- ukuvuvukala kwezinyawo, ukuvuvukala ngaphansi kwamehlo;
– blue isikhumba
– ubuhlungu besifuba.
Uma uhlangabezana nalezi zimpawu, kufanele ngokushesha uthintane nodokotela onguchwepheshe, okungukuthi udokotela wenhliziyo. Kuyancomeka ukuthi abantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-40 bahlolwe okungenani kanye ngonyaka. Kufanele futhi ukhumbule ukukala umfutho wegazi lakho njalo ngokwakho. Ukungazinaki lezi zimpawu ekugcineni kungaholela ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo ngisho nokufa.
Ukuze unakekele inhliziyo yakho kusengaphambili, akumelwe ukhohlwe ngokuzivocavoca okuvamile. Akufanele baphoqe umzimba kakhulu. Ukuhamba ngaphandle kuyanconywa. Ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka nakho kunconywa kakhulu. Kuyafaneleka futhi ukucebisa ukudla kwethu ngezithelo nemifino kanye nezinhlanzi, eziqukethe amafutha angagcwele, amavithamini nezinye izakhi. Kuwufanele ukunakekela inhliziyo yakho namuhla, ngaphambi kokuba kwephuze kakhulu.
