Ngaba Intliziyo Yakho Iguga ngokukhawuleza Kunomzimba Wakho Wonke?

Kuyavela ukuba "umncinci entliziyweni" ayisiyo nje ibinzana-intliziyo yakho ayifuni ubudala ngendlela efanayo nomzimba wakho. Ubudala betikiti lakho ngenene bunokwahluka kakhulu kuneminyaka ekwilayisensi yakho yokuqhuba, ngokwengxelo entsha evela kumaZiko aseMelika oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo (CDC). (Ungabala ubudala bentliziyo yakho apha ukuba uphakathi kwama-30 nama-74 eminyaka ubudala.)

Kodwa kuninzi lwethu, ayizondaba zimnandi ezi. Uphononongo lubonisa ukuba i-75 yepesenti yabantu baseMelika baneminyaka yobudala bentliziyo mdala Ngaphezulu kweminyaka yabo yokwenyani kunye neepesenti ezingama-40 zabasetyhini abaneminyaka emihlanu okanye nangaphezulu ubudala kuneminyaka yabo yobudala. Yikes-umntu usigqithisele isiselo kumthombo wolutsha STAT. (Kodwa, i-FYI, iMicimbi yezebhayoloji ingaphezulu kobudala bokuzalwa.)

Abaphandi bahlalutye idatha kuwo onke amazwe kwaye bafumanisa ukuba abantu abadala abazizigidi ezingama-69 base-US basebenza ngeentliziyo ezindala kunabo, ngokungafaniyo okuphawulekayo kumazwe asezantsi. Kwaye, kwiimeko ezininzi, kungenxa yezizathu ezilawulekayo nezinokuthinteleka: uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu, i-cholesterol ephezulu, ukutshaya, ukutyeba, ukutya okungenampilo, ukungasebenzi komzimba, okanye isifo seswekile.

Ke kutheni le nto kufuneka sikhathalele ukuba iintliziyo zethu ziguga ngokukhawuleza kuneminye imizimba yethu? Ubudala bentliziyo yakho bunoxanduva lwemingcipheko emininzi yempilo. Ukuba intliziyo yakho indala kuneminyaka yobudala bakho, unokuba semngciphekweni omkhulu wokubulawa kwemiba yezempilo efana nokuhlaselwa yintliziyo kunye nokubetha.

Kodwa ungoyiki, intliziyo yakho ayiphelelanga ekubeni uthathe umhlala-phantsi kwangoko. Ngelixa ezinye izinto ezinegalelo kubudala bentliziyo ziimfuza, uninzi lwezinto ezinegalelo kwintliziyo yokuguga lukhetho lokuphila onokululawula. Ukunciphisa iminyaka yobudala bentliziyo yakho, gcina i-cholesterol yakho ijongiwe, gcina indlela yokuphila esebenzayo, yitya isempilweni, uqiniseke ukuba uxinzelelo lwegazi lukuluhlu olusempilweni, kwaye nantoni na oyenzayo, yeka ukutshaya.

Njengomgaqo oqhelekileyo, ubomi obunempilo buthetha intliziyo esempilweni. Ke de sifumane umthombo wobutsha, qiniseka ukuba wenza ukhetho oluza kugcina intliziyo yakho, hayi umzimba wakho nje, umncinci. (Kodwa ulindelo lobomi lude kubasetyhini kwihlabathi liphela, ke ... ulayini wesilivere?)
