ʻO ka moʻolelo āu i ʻike ʻole ai e pili ana i ka mucus: E aʻo kākou e pili ana i kēia mea pale i loko o ko kākou kino!

Ke loaʻa iā ʻoe ke anu, ua paʻa kou ihu, ua kahe kou puʻu, a ua piha kou puʻu i ka mucus, ka mea e hoʻoluhi loa ai iā ʻoe. Manaʻo mākou a pau i kēia "phlegm" he maʻi, he mea hoʻonāukiuki, kahi mea e pono ai ke wehe ʻia mai ke kino i ka wā hikiwawe loa. Akā, ua ʻike anei ʻoe ʻo kēia mucus āu e manaʻo nei he mea hoʻonāukiuki he mea pale mālie akā koʻikoʻi loa ia i loko o kou kino? ʻAe, he ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ke ʻano o kēia mucus, he aha ka lawelawe āna e hāʻawi ai i ko mākou kino, a me ka mea a ke kala o ka mucus e ʻōlelo ai e pili ana i ko mākou olakino .

He aha maoli kēia 'mucus'?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he wai pahee like me ka jelly ka mucus a ko kākou kino e hana ai. Hana ia ma ke ʻano he uhi pale ma loko o ko kākou kino. Hoʻopuni ia i loko o kou ʻōnaehana hanu (ihu, ʻāʻī, māmā), ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe (waha a i nā ʻōpū), ʻōnaehana mimi, a me ka ʻōnaehana hānau keiki.

Kāhea mākou iā ia ma nā inoa like ʻole. Ke puka mai ia mai ka ihu, kapa ʻia ʻo "snot," a ke puka mai ia mai ka puʻu a me ka umauma, kapa ʻia ʻo "phlegm." ʻOiai ke ʻano o kāu kapa ʻana, ua like nō kāna hana nui. ʻO ia ke pale ʻana iā mākou mai nā mea ʻino, ʻoiai nā pathogens, e komo i loko o ko mākou kino. ʻAe pū ia i nā mea e like me ka oxygen a me nā meaʻai e pono ai ko mākou kino e komo. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, ua like ia me kahi kiaʻi palekana akamai. Hoʻokuʻu ia i nā kānaka maikaʻi e komo a pale i nā kānaka ʻino.

He aha ka lawelawe a ka huʻa e hāʻawi ai i ko mākou kino?

ʻAʻole wale ka mucus he wai pipili. Hana ia i kahi lawelawe kupaianaha no ko mākou kino. E nānā kākou i kāna mau hana nui.

Hoʻopaʻa kēia papa o ka mucus i kēia mau mea a pau e like me ka ʻupena pipili. Hoʻopaʻa ia iā lākou a pale iā lākou mai ke komo ʻana i loko o ko mākou mau māmā a me nā ʻiʻo kino.

• Hana ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka ʻōnaehana pale: Aia i loko o ka mucus nā antibodies e hana e like me nā koa pale o ko mākou kino. Hoʻopau kēia mau antibodies i nā germs e komo i loko o ke kino, e hōʻailona ana iā lākou no ka luku maʻalahi ʻia e nā cell immune.

• Hoʻopau i nā mea pono ʻole mai ke kino:Hoʻopau ko mākou kino i nā mea e like me ka lepo a me nā germs i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o ka mucus ma ke ʻano kupaianaha. ʻO nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi e like me ka lauoho (cilia) i loko o ka ihu e hoʻokuke i kēia mucus i ka puʻu. Ale mākou i kēlā mucus me ka ʻike ʻole. A laila hele ia i ka ʻōpū a luku ʻia e nā waikawa i loko o ka ʻōpū. A i ʻole e puka mai ia ma ke ʻano he mucus ke ʻū mākou a ʻūhā paha.

• Ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka makū a me ka lubrication: Kōkua ka mucus i ka mālama ʻana i ko mākou ihu, ka puʻu, a me nā maka i pulu a pale iā lākou mai ka maloʻo ʻana. Hāʻawi pū ia i ka lubrication e pono ai no ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai e hele ma o kā mākou ʻōnaehana digestive. ʻO kekahi ʻano mucus ʻo ia ka cervical mucus, ka mea e kōkua ai i ka sperm e hele i kahi hua manu i loko o ka ʻōnaehana hānau.

ʻO ka moʻolelo i haʻi ʻia e ke kala o ka mucus

ʻO ka maʻamau, ua moakāka ka mucus o ke kanaka olakino a ʻaʻole mānoanoa loa. Akā i ka wā e loaʻa ai iā ʻoe kahi maʻi, loli ke kala a me ka mānoanoa o ka mucus. Hiki i kēia loli ke hāʻawi iā mākou i kekahi mau hōʻailona e pili ana i ke kūlana o ko mākou kino. Akā e hoʻomanaʻo, ʻaʻole hiki i ke kala o ka mucus wale nō ke hoʻoholo i ke ʻano pololei o ka maʻi.
