Ukuba ngaphandle kufanele kukwenze uzole, ujabule, futhi Ngaphansi wagcizelela, kodwa isifundo esisha ku I-British Medical Journal uthi kungase kungabi njalo. Abaphenyi bathola ukuthi abesifazane ababenokuchayeka okuphezulu ekungcolisweni komoya babesengozini enkulu yokukhathazeka.

Futhi ngenkathi lokho kusabeka, akufani nokuthi umzila wakho wokugijima ungaphakathi kwe-smog, ngakho-ke ulungile ... akunjalo? Empeleni, abacwaningi bathole ukuthi akunjalo neze ngezindawo ezingcolile ohamba kuzo: Abesifazane abebehlala ngaphakathi kwamamitha ayi-200 omgwaqo omkhulu bebesethubeni lokuba nezimpawu zokukhathazeka eziphakeme kunalezo ezihlala ngokuthula nangokuthula.

Yini enikezayo? Ukukhathazeka kuboshelwe entweni enhle yezinhlayiya-i-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eyihlukanisa njengaphansi kwamamitha ayi-2.5 ububanzi (inhlamvu yesihlabathi ingamamitha ayi-90). Lezi zinhlayiya zitholakala entuthini nasebunguni, futhi zingangena kalula emaphashini akho futhi zidale ukuvuvukala. Lolu cwaningo luphakamisa ukuxhumana okukhona phakathi kokuvuvukala nempilo yengqondo.

Kwabazivocavoca ngaphandle, ukungcoliswa komoya kungaba yinto ekhathaza kakhulu (ubani ofuna ukuhogela intuthu yemoto njalo uma uyogijima?). Kodwa ungashintsheli kumshini wokunyathelisa okwamanje-ucwaningo lwakamuva oluvela eNyuvesi yase-Copenhagen lubonisa ukuthi izinzuzo zokuzivocavoca zidlula imiphumela eyingozi yokungcola. (Futhi, ikhwalithi yomoya eGym Yakho ingahle ingahlanzeki kangako.) Futhi uma ukhathazekile, phefumula kalula ekugijimeni kwakho ngokulandela le mihlahlandlela emihlanu.

1. Hlunga umoya wakho.Uma uhlala eduze nomgwaqo ophithizelayo, i-EPA itusa ukushintsha izihlungi kuma-heaters akho kanye nezifudumezi-moya njalo futhi ugcine umswakama endlini yakho uphakathi kwamaphesenti angu-30 nangu-50, ongawuqapha usebenzisa igeji yomswakama. Uma umoya womile kakhulu, sebenzisa i-humidifier, futhi uma umswakama uphezulu kakhulu, vula amafasitela ukuze kuphume umswakama othile.

2. Gijimani ekuseni. Ikhwalithi yomoya ingashintsha usuku lonke, okusho ukuthi ungahlela ukusebenzisa kwakho kwangaphandle ukuze kuhambisane namahora ahlanzeke kakhulu. Izinga lomoya livame ukuba libi kakhulu lapho kushisa, ntambama, nakusihlwa kakhulu, ngakho-ke ekuseni kuba ngcono kakhulu. (Ungaphinda uhlole izimo zekhwalithi yomoya endaweni yangakini ku-airnow.gov.)

3. Faka ezinye C. Olunye ucwaningo luye lwabonisa ukuthi ukudla ukudla okunovithamini C ophakeme, okufana nezithelo ezisawolintshi nemifino eluhlaza okumnyama, nakho kungasiza ekulweni nemiphumela yokungcoliswa komoya-i-antioxidant ingamisa ama-radicals mahhala kumaseli alimazayo.

4. Ukwengeza ngamafutha. Olunye ucwaningo luthole ukuthi izengezo zamafutha omnqumo zingasiza ekuvikeleni ukulimala kwenhliziyo emithanjeni engcolisayo yomoya.

5. Hamba ehlathini. Indlela eqinisekile yokuvikela ukungcoliswa komoya uma ungumuntu othanda ukuzivocavoca ongaphandle kungaba ukugwema imigwaqo ematasa lapho ukukhipha imoto kuphakeme kakhulu. Uma ukhathazekile, sebenzisa lokhu njengezaba zokushaya imikhondo!
