Abantu abanesifo sikashukela bangavimbela noma okungenani babambezele ukukhula kwezinkinga zesifo sikashukela ngokuqapha nokulawula izici ezi-3: glucose ukushaya kwegazi futhi cholesterol.

• Ukulawula ushukela egazini. Finyelela futhi ugcine kaningi ngangokunokwenzeka izinga leglucose elilungile ngokuhlonipha umthetho olandelwayo wokwelapha osungulwe nethimba lezokwelapha. Ucwaningo olukhulu luye lwabonisa ukubaluleka kokulawula kahle ushukela egazini, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi hlobo luni lwesifo sikashukela^1-4 . Bheka ishidi lethu Lesifo Sikashukela (uhlolojikelele).
• Ukulawulwa kwengcindezi yegazi. Khomba ukusondela kumfutho wegazi ojwayelekile ngangokunokwenzeka futhi ulawule umfutho wegazi ophakeme. Umfutho wegazi ojwayelekile usiza ekuvimbeleni ukulimala kwamehlo, izinso, nesimiso senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Hlola umfutho wegazi njalo. Bheka ikhasi lethu le-Hypertension.
• Ukulawulwa kwe-cholesterol. Uma kunesidingo, qaphela ukugcina izinga le-cholesterol egazini liseduze kwelejwayelekile. Lokhu kusiza ukuvimbela isifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, inkinga enkulu kwabanesifo sikashukela. Kunconywa ukwenza ukuhlolwa kwe-lipid yonyaka, noma kaningi uma udokotela ekubona kudingekile. Bheka ikhasi lethu lamaqiniso le-Hypercholesterolemia.

Nsuku zonke, amanye amathiphu okuvimbela noma ukubambezeleka kwezinkinga

• Yeqa i- izivivinyo zokwelashwa ukulandelelwa okunconywe ithimba lezokwelapha. Ukuhlolwa kwaminyaka yonke kubalulekile njengokuhlolwa kwamehlo. Kubalulekile nokuvakashela udokotela wamazinyo njalo, ngoba abantu abanesifo sikashukela bavame ukuhlushwa izifo ezinsinini.
• Hlonipha i uhlelo lokudla isungulwe nodokotela noma uchwepheshe wezokudla.
• Yenza umsebenzi womzimba okungenani imizuzu engama-30, kahle nsuku zonke.
• Musa ukubhema.
• Ukuphuza amanzi amaningi uma ugula, isibonelo, uma unomkhuhlane. Lokhu kuthatha indawo yoketshezi olulahlekile futhi kungavimbela i-coma yesifo sikashukela.
• Yiba nesisebenzi sasendlini inhlanzeko ezinyaweni futhi bahlole nsuku zonke. Isibonelo, bheka isikhumba phakathi kwezinzwane: bheka noma yikuphi ukushintsha kombala noma ukubukeka (ubomvu, isikhumba se-scaly, ama-blister, izilonda, i-callus). Yazisa udokotela wakho ngezinguquko eziphawuliwe. Isifo sikashukela singabangela ukuba ndikindiki ezinyaweni. Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, izinkinga ezincane, ezingaphathwa kahle zingakhula zibe izifo ezimbi kakhulu.
• Sekuyisikhathi eside odokotela bencoma ukuthi abantu abanesifo sikashukela abaneminyaka engu-40 nangaphezulu bathathe umthamo ophansi wei-aspirin (i-acetylsalicylic acid) nsuku zonke ukugcina inhliziyo enempilo nemithambo yegazi. Umgomo oyinhloko wawuwukunciphisa ingozi yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo. Kusukela ngoJuni 2011, i-Canadian Cardiovascular Society iye yeluleka ngokumelene ne-aspirin njengendlela yokuvimbela, kakhulu kwabanesifo sikashukela njengakwabanganesifo sikashukela¹⁰. Kuye kwahlolwa ukuthi ukuthathwa kwe-aspirin nsuku zonke akufanelekile, uma kubhekwa ukusebenza kwayo okuphansi kakhulu ekuvimbeleni kanye nemiphumela engathandeki engahlotshaniswa nayo. Eqinisweni, i-aspirin inengozi yokopha kokugaya ukudla kanye nengozi eyophayo yobuchopho (stroke).

  Khuluma nodokotela wakho uma kunesidingo.

  Qaphela ukuthi i-Canadian Cardiovascular Society iyaqhubeka nokuncoma umthamo ophansi wansuku zonke we-aspirin kubantu abaye baba nesifo senhliziyo sangaphambilini noma isifo sohlangothi (okubangelwa ihlule legazi), ngethemba lokugwema ukuphinda.
