Izigidi zabantu ziyafa noma zikhubazeke ngenxa yezifo zenhliziyo nemithambo, okubandakanya ukushaywa unhlangothi. Kepha ungazivikela, noma okungenani unciphise kakhulu ubungozi bokushaywa unhlangothi. Futhi ngalokhu awudingi ukuthatha imishanguzo, kepha ukuqapha lezo zici zendlela yakho yokuphila ezithinta izici eziyisikhombisa ezibalulekile zempilo yakho. Ziyini lezi zinkomba nokuthi ungazishuna kanjani ngendlela efanelekile ukugwema ukushaywa unhlangothi? Ngizokhuluma ngalokhu ochungechungeni lwezinto ezintsha, okokuqala okufundayo manje.
Okokuqala, amagama ambalwa mayelana nendima yofuzo. Asikwazi ukuthonya lesi sici okwamanje. Kodwa-ke, umnikelo wezakhi zofuzo ezingozini ze-vascular awudluli ku-15-20%. Ngakho-ke, ukuvimbela unhlangothi kuyindlela ephumelela kunazo zonke yokuvikela. Futhi ngokushesha lapho uqala ukunamathela kuleli su, kungcono. Yize isifo sohlangothi sanda kakhulu kubantu asebekhulile, lesi sifo siya ngokuya sibancane eminyakeni yamuva: ucwaningo lodokotela baseRussia lubonise ukuthi phakathi kwabantu abayi-1 abanalesi sifo ezibhedlela zaseMoscow kusukela ngo-072 kuya ku-2005, bekukhona abantu abasha abangu-2012% (kusukela kwabangu-9 kuya eminyakeni engu-18 ubudala)…
Ngakho-ke, okokuqala, ake sibheke zonke izinto eziyi-7 zestroke:
- umsebenzi womzimba,
- izinga le-cholesterol,
- likashukela egazini
- ukushaya kwegazi,
- ukudla,
- isisindo somzimba,
- ukubhema.
Kungani kunezici ezithile? Baphakanyiswa yi-American Heart Association, futhi baqinisekiswa ocwaningweni olukhulu nangesikhathi eside olwahlanganisa izakhamizi zase-US eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-23 ezingaphezulu kweminyaka engama-45. Phakathi neminyaka emihlanu, kwahlaselwa abathintekayo abangu-432 phakathi kwabahlanganyeli . Futhi zonke izinkomba eziyi-7 zidlale indima ebalulekile ekubikezeleni ubungozi bokushaywa unhlangothi.
Kanjani kahle? Ososayensi babela ababambiqhaza inani elithile lamaphuzu - kusuka ku-0 kuye ku-14 - kuya ngokuthi baziqapha ngokunembile kanjani lezi zinto (ukugcina isisindo esifanele, ukuyeka ukubhema, ukuvimbela i-cholesterol ekukhuphukeni, njll.). Ngaphezu kwalokho, bakhombe imikhakha emithathu yokuthobela: ayenele (kusuka kumaphoyinti ayi-0 kuye kwangama-4), isilinganiso (esivela kwamaphoyinti ama-5 kuye kwayi-9) kanye ne-elungile (kusuka kumaphuzu ayi-10 kuye kwayi-14).
Kuvele ukuthi ukwanda kwephuzu eli-1 enkombeni kuhlotshaniswa nokwehliswa okungu-8% kwengozi yesifo sohlangothi! Abantu abanezibalo ezifanele babe ne-48% engcupheni ephansi yokushaywa unhlangothi, kanti abantu abanobungozi obulinganiselwe obunamaphesenti angama-27% kunalabo izikolo zabo ezahlulelwa njengabangafanele.
Ngokubona kwami, lokhu kuyidatha ekhuthazayo kakhulu. Bafakazela ukuthi singasinqanda lesi sifo esibulalayo. Vele, akulula ukuziphoqa ukuthi ushintshe indlela ophila ngayo: umkhuba uyimvelo yesibili. Kodwa-ke, akudingekile nhlobo ukuhlela ukuguqulwa komzimba owodwa. Zama ukuqala ngezinguquko ezincane bese uzivumelanisa nazo kancane kancane ukuze le mikhuba emisha ibe yingxenye yakho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngisho nezinguquko ezincane zingazinciphisa ngokungathi sína izingozi zakho zokuthola “isifo sohlangothi” Kubonakala kungabalulekile kangako uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho okufanele kuguqulwe empilweni yakhe (nasempilweni yezihlobo nabangane) kumuntu osindile kunhlangothi.
Kulolu chungechunge lwezihloko, sizobheka isici ngasinye kwezingu-7. Futhi ngizoqala ngesisindo eseqile.
