Ngokwe-American Heart Association, phantse isiqingatha sabo bonke abantu abamnyama ababhinqileyo ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 ubudala banesifo sentliziyo, kwaye uninzi alusazi.

Iimithambo ezivaliweyo (ngakumbi imithambo yegazi ejikeleze intliziyo okanye eya ezingalweni okanye emilenzeni), uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu (uxinzelelo lwegazi), icholesterol ephezulu, i-prediabetes okanye isifo seswekile, kunye nokutyeba kakhulu kunokubeka emngciphekweni wesifo sentliziyo.

Ukunyanzeliswa kwezeMpilo kwabafazi abaMnyama (BWHI) kuye kwafikelela kuJennifer Mieres, MD, ugqirha wezentliziyo. Ungomnye weengcali ezikhokelayo kwabasetyhini abaMnyama nakwimpilo yentliziyo.

Ukwangumbhali we “Heart Smart for Women: Six S.T.E.P.S. kwiiVeki eziNtandathu zokuPhila ngeNtliziyo-esempilweni, ”enika abasetyhini iingcebiso malunga nento esinokuyenza ukunciphisa umngcipheko.

Ngokwe-American Heart Association, i-80% yesifo sentliziyo kunye nemivimbo kwabasetyhini iyathinteleka ukuba kuthathwa amanyathelo.

Ugqirha Mieres uthi “elinye lamanyathelo okuqala amabhinqa amnyama ekufuneka elithathile kukuqonda ukuba impilo yethu yeyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu kuthi.” Ukhuthaza abantu basetyhini ukuba basebenze noogqirha babo kwaye babe lilungu leqela labo lokhathalelo lwempilo.

Ingcali ekhokelayo yezempilo yentliziyo icacisa ukuba "ukuzibophelela ekwenzeni iinguqulelo zendlela yokuphila esempilweni kunokuhamba ixesha elide."

Ngokwe-American Heart Association, ngaphezu kwe-50% yabo bonke abantu base-Afrika baseMelika banexinzelelo oluphezulu lwegazi, eyona nto ingumngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo.

Ugqirha Mieres ubongoza abantu basetyhini ukuba bazi amanani oxinzelelo lwegazi njengenyathelo lokuqala kwaye basebenze nogqirha wabo ukuza nesicwangciso solawulo. "Ukuba usebenzisa amayeza, kwabanye abantu, utshintsho lwendlela yokuphila lunokukhupha kwizonyango," utshilo.

Ugqirha Mieres ukwathi ukuba kubunzima obunzima kwaye ungafumani mithambo ingako kunokunyusa umngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo. "Sebenza ukususa i-intshi esinqeni sakho, uqiniseke ukuba i-midsection yakho ayikho ngaphezulu kwe-intshi ezingama-35," ucebisa.

Uxinzelelo kunzima kakhulu emzimbeni nasengqondweni.

Ugqirha Mieres wongeza ukuba abasetyhini abachaphazeleka kumava oxinzelelo ngempendulo "yokulwa okanye yokubhabha" enokubangela uxinzelelo lwegazi olungapheliyo kunye neminye imiba yezempilo. "Olu tshintsho lunokwenza ukuba imithambo yegazi ithambekele kwiziphumo ezibi kunye ne-cortisol ephezulu," utshilo.

Nazi iingcebiso ezimbalwa zempilo entle ezivela kuGqirha Mieres:

• Thatha ikhefu rhoqo. Zama ukusebenzisa i-app yokuphumla kunye nokuziqhelanisa nemithambo yokuphefumla.
