Amasavu mu mubiri ne kolesterol - kakwate ki akali wakati w’ebintu bino byombi?

Wali otunuulidde lipoota y'okukebera omusaayi n'olowooza nti, "Oh, cholesterol yange eringa eri waggulu katono"? Oba wali owuliddeko ng'otya katono oba nga weeraliikirira ng'ozitowa katono, nga weebuuza nti, "Kino kinaakwata ku kolesterol wange?" Kino mu butuufu kibuuzo abantu bangi kye balina. Waliwo akakwate akanene wakati w’obuzito ne kolesterol okusinga bw’oyinza okulowooza. Kale leero, ka twogere ku nsonga eno mu ngeri ennyangu ennyo era mu ngeri ey’omukwano.

Lwaki kolesterol yeeyongera ng’ogejja?

Okusooka, ka tutegeere kino. Cholesterol si mubi ddala. Ekibumba kyaffe kikola ekirungo kya kolesterol ekimu okukola emirimu mingi emikulu mu mubiri gwaffe, gamba ng’okuzimba obutoffaali n’okukola vitamiini D. Kikulu nnyo eri omubiri gwaffe.

Naye obuzibu butandika nga bbalansi wakati w’ebika bino ebibiri ebya kolesterol eweddewo. Mu ngeri ennyangu, waliwo ebika bibiri: "kolesterol omulungi" ne "kolesterol omubi."

• LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Eno ye "kolesterol omubi" . Bino bwe byeyongera mu musaayi, bitandika okuteekebwa ng’amafuta ku bisenge by’emisuwa gyaffe. Nga obucaafu bwe buzimba munda mu payipu y’amazzi. Mu busawo, kino tukiyita `(Atherosclerosis)`. Emisuwa bwe gitandika okuzibikira mu ngeri eno, omusaayi guziyizibwa, era emikisa gy’okulwala embeera ez’amaanyi ng’okulwala omutima n’okusannyalala bweyongera nnyo.
• HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein): Ono ye "kolesterol omulungi." Kiba nga superhero. Kisitula kolesterol omubi akwatidde mu misuwa gyo n’amutwala mu kibumba. Olwo ekibumba ne kikiggya mu mubiri.

Kati otegedde, nedda? Obuzibu buli nti kolesterol omubi (LDL) yeeyongera ate kolesterol omulungi (HDL) n’akendeera.

Kale, bbalansi eno etaataaganyizibwa etya ng’obuzito bw’omubiri bweyongedde, oba ng’omugejjo gubaddewo?

Teebereza nti omubiri gwaffe bwe gweyongera okugejja, kitegeeza nti amasavu amalala gateekebwa naddala okwetooloola ekitundu ky’olubuto . Okuva mu kitundu kino eky’amasavu ag’enjawulo, ekika ky’amasavu ekiyitibwa ``free fatty acids`` kifuluma ne kigenda butereevu mu kibumba kyaffe.

Ekibumba bwe kifuna asidi z’amasavu eziwera mu ngeri eno, kyongera okukola ekika ky’amasavu ekirala ekiyitibwa ``Triglycerides.'' Emiwendo gya triglyceride gino bwe gyeyongera, kyongera butereevu ku muwendo gwa kolesterol omubi (LDL).

Tekikoma awo, okugejja ennyo era kyongera obulabe bw’okufuna embeera eyitibwa insulin resistance . Kino kisookera ddala ku bulwadde bwa sukaali. Obuziyiza buno bwa insulini era busobola okutaataaganya okukola amasavu mu kibumba n’okwongera ku kolesterol.

Okugejja kifuga kitya kolesterol?

Gano ge mawulire amalungi. Totya kuwulira bino byonna. Enkola eno yonna tusobola okugizza emabega nga tufuga obuzito bwaffe.

Bw’ogejja, obungi bw’amasavu ag’enjawulo mu mubiri gwo bukendeera. Kino nakyo kikendeeza ku bungi bwa asidi z’amasavu ez’obwereere eziyingira mu kibumba. Kino nakyo kifuga okukola kwa triglycerides ne bad cholesterol (LDL).

Ate era bw’okendeeza ku mugejjo n’okola katono, obuziyiza obwo obwa insulini bwe twayogeddeko nabwo butereera. Bino byonna biyamba kolesterol wo okusemberera omutindo omulamu.

Oyagala kugejja kimeka?

"Oh, kale nnina okugejja ennyo?" oyinza okulowooza nti. Naye nedda, si bwe kiri. Ne bw’okendeeza ku buzito obutono, nga kkiro 4-5 , osobola okulaba enjawulo ennene, ennungi mu kolesterol wo.

Mu kunoonyereza okumu, abantu abakendeeza ku buzito bwabwe ebitundu 5% byokka baalaba okukendeera okw’amaanyi mu kolesterol waabwe ayitibwa LDL (bad) cholesterol, total cholesterol, ne triglyceride levels. Ekyo kitegeeza nti bw’ozitowa kkiro 80, okufiirwa ne kkiro 4 kiyinza okuleeta enjawulo nnene.

Ebintu by’osobola okukola okugejja n’okufuga kolesterol

Kino kiyinza okulabika ng’okusoomoozebwa okunene, naye tusobola okutandika n’enkyukakyuka entonotono. Ka tulabe ebyo bye biruwa.

Nga tonnatandika nkyukakyuka yonna ku zino mu bulamu naddala ng’olina embeera endala ez’obujjanjabi, kiba kya magezi okwogera n’omusawo w’amaka go akuwe amagezi. Ajja kukuwa amagezi agasinga obulungi ku mbeera y’obulamu bwo.
