E aʻo pehea e pili pololei ai ke olakino o kou puʻuwai i kou hoʻomanaʻo (Dementia)

Manaʻo mākou he mea maʻamau no ko mākou mau mākua, a i ʻole mākou iho, ke poina i nā mea liʻiliʻi i ko mākou wā ʻelemakule. Akā i kekahi manawa, ʻoi aku kēia poina ma mua o ka mea maʻamau. Nalowale mākou i ko mākou hoʻomanaʻo a hiki i kahi hiki ʻole iā mākou ke hana i nā hana o kēlā me kēia lā a ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike i kā mākou mau hoaaloha pili loa. Kāhea wale mākou i kēia maʻi he dementia. No ke aha e hana ai kēia? Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui he pilikia wale nō kēia e pili ana i ka lolo. Akā, hōʻike ka noiʻi hou he pilina nui aʻe ma waena o kou olakino cardiovascular a me kēia maʻi nalowale hoʻomanaʻo koʻikoʻi ma mua o ko mākou manaʻo.

He aha kēia ʻike hou loa?

Ua loaʻa i kahi noiʻi hou i hana ʻia e nā mea noiʻi ma ke Kulanui ʻo Lākana (UCL) ma United Kingdom kahi ʻike koʻikoʻi loa. Ua kālailai lākou i 27 mau pepa noiʻi me ka ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ʻia ma luna o 70 mau makahiki. ʻO kā lākou pahuhopu nui ka ʻike ʻana i nā kumu pilikia nui no ka dementia a pehea lākou i loli ai i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa. Ua paʻi ʻia kēia ʻike kupanaha ma ka puke pai lapaʻau kaulana o ka honua ʻo "The Lancet Public Health".

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻōlelo lākou: ʻO kekahi o nā mea a mākou i ʻike ai he kumu nui o ka dementia, ʻaʻole ia he mea nui i kēia manawa. Akā, ʻo nā pilikia me ke olakino o ko mākou mau puʻuwai a me nā kīʻaha koko ke lilo nei i mau kumu pilikia nui no ka dementia. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ʻo ka mālama ʻana i kou puʻuwai olakino kekahi o nā hoʻopukapuka kālā nui loa hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i ka mālama ʻana i kou lolo olakino.

Ua loli anei nā kumu pilikia i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa?

ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō. No nā makahiki he ʻumi, ua ʻike ʻia nā kumu nui o ka dementia ʻo ia ke koko kiʻekiʻe, ka momona, ka maʻi diabetes mellitus, ka puhipaka, a me nā pae hoʻonaʻauao haʻahaʻa.

Eia nō naʻe, ua loli ka hopena o kēia mau mea i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa. E noʻonoʻo wale, ʻoiai ma ko kākou ʻāina, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā papahana hoʻomaopopo e kūʻē i ka puhipaka i kēia manawa ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Eia kekahi, me nā hana a ke aupuni e hāʻawi i ka hoʻonaʻauao i nā mea āpau, ua emi iki ka hopena o kēlā mau mea ʻelua.

Akā i ka manawa like, me nā loli i ko kākou nohona, ke piʻi nei ka nui o ka poʻe me ka momona a me ka maʻi diabetes i kēlā me kēia lā. No laila, i kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka nui o kēia mau mea ʻelua i ka ulu ʻana o ka dementia ma mua o ka wā ma mua.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi i kēia ʻokoʻa mai ka papa ma lalo nei.

ʻO wai ka mea hewa nui loa? - Ke koko kiʻekiʻe

I waena o kēia mau mea a pau, hoʻokahi mea pilikia e mau nei ka weliweli e like me ka wā ma mua. ʻO ia ke koko kiʻekiʻe, a i ʻole ke 'kaomi' e like me kā mākou e ʻike nei . E nā kauka, ʻoiai ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ia mea mai nā hui olakino lehulehu a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e kāohi i ke koko, ua ʻōlelo kēia noiʻi ʻo ke koko kiʻekiʻe ke kumu nui loa no ka dementia.

E noʻonoʻo, i ka wā e loaʻa ai iā kākou ke koko kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole ia e hōʻino wale i ko kākou puʻuwai, akā, i nā kīʻaha koko palupalu hoʻi e hoʻolako ana i ke koko i ka lolo. Ke hoʻomau kēia hōʻino i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, ua nele nā ​​​​​​pūnaewele o ka lolo i ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai e pono ai lākou. ʻO ia ka mea e alakaʻi ai i ka nalowale o ka hoʻomanaʻo a me ka dementia.

Hiki iā kākou ke pale aku i kēia?

He mea weliweli paha kēia, akā ʻo ka nūhou maikaʻi, he nui nā mea hiki iā kākou ke hana e pale aku ai. Wahi a kēia mau kānaka noiʻi, inā hiki iā kākou ke kāohi i nā kumu pilikia hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia, hiki iā kākou ke pale aku i ka 40% o nā hihia dementia! ʻAʻole ia he helu liʻiliʻi, ʻeā?

No laila he aha kā mākou e hiki ai ke hana?

• E kāohi i kou koko: Inā he koko kiʻekiʻe kou, e lawe i ka lāʻau lapaʻau a kāu kauka i kuhikuhi ai i ka manawa kūpono a e nānā pinepine i kou koko.
• E kāohi i kou pae kō koko: Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka maʻi diabetes, e mālama iā ia ma lalo o ke kaohi. He mea nui e hahai i nā ʻōlelo a kāu kauka, me ka ʻai ʻana, ka hoʻoikaika kino, a me ka hoʻoikaika kino.
• E kāohi i kou kaumaha: E ho'āʻo e mālama i kahi kaumaha olakino no kou kiʻekiʻe.
• E ʻai i ka meaʻai olakino: E ʻai i ka meaʻai haʻahaʻa i ka ʻaila, ka paʻakai, a me ke kō, a nui i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu.
• Hoʻoikaika Kino: E hana ma ka liʻiliʻi he 30 mau minuke o ka hoʻoikaika kino kaulike i ka lā. He mea maikaʻi nā mea e like me ka hele wāwae, ka holo ʻana, a i ʻole ke kaʻa paikikala.
• E ho'ōki i ka puhipaka a me ka inu ʻona: He mea ʻino loa kēia no kou puʻuwai a me kou lolo.

ʻO ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kēia mau mea i kēia lā ka hoʻopukapuka kālā nui loa hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i kou wā e hiki mai ana. ʻAʻohe mea i kou mau makahiki, ʻaʻole loa e lohi ke lawe i kahi nohona olakino. Inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i kēia, a inā he mau nīnau kāu, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka ʻohana . E hāʻawi ʻo ia iā ʻoe i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo maikaʻi loa.
