Mai ka Imperative Health Health Women

ʻO Pepeluali ka Mahina Ola Puʻuwai no nā ʻAmelika āpau, akā no nā wahine ʻeleʻele, kiʻekiʻe loa nā pā.

Wahi a ka American Heart Association, ʻaneʻane ka hapalua o nā wahine ʻeleʻele a ʻoi o 20 mau makahiki i loaʻa kekahi ʻano maʻi maʻi puʻuwai, a nui ʻole ka ʻike.

ʻO nā aʻa paʻa (kū pololei i nā kīʻaha koko a puni ka puʻuwai a i ʻole ke hele ʻana i nā lima a me nā wāwae), ke koko kiʻekiʻe (hypertension), kiʻekiʻe kolesterol, prediabetes a i ʻole diabetes, a me ka momona e hiki iā ʻoe ke makaʻu i ka maʻi puʻuwai.

ʻO ka maʻi puʻuwai ka make a me ke kīnā ʻole o nā wahine ma United States. Ma ke ʻano he wahine ʻeleʻele, loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi manawa kiʻekiʻe aʻe o ka make ʻana i nā maʻi puʻuwai - {textend} a i ka wā ʻōpio.

Ua kiʻi aku ka Black Women's Health Imperative (BWHI) iā Jennifer Mieres, MD, kahi kauka lāʻau. ʻO ia kekahi o nā loea alakaʻi i nā wahine ʻeleʻele a me ke olakino puʻuwai.

ʻO ia nō ka mea kākau o “Heart Smart for Women: ʻeono S.T.E.P.S. i nā hebedoma ʻeono i ke ola olakino puʻuwai, "e hāʻawi ana i nā wahine i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e pili ana i nā mea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana e hōʻemi ai i kā mākou pilikia.

Wahi a ka American Heart Association, 80% o ka maʻi puʻuwai a me nā hahau i nā wahine i hiki ke pale ʻia inā hana ʻia nā hana.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Mieres "ʻo kekahi o nā hana mua e pono ai nā wahine ʻeleʻele e hana ʻo ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ko mākou olakino ko mākou waiwai nui loa." Paipai ʻo ia i nā wahine e hana pū me kā lākou kauka a lilo i lālā o kā lākou hui mālama ola.

Ua wehewehe ka loea olakino puʻuwai alakaʻi i "kahi paʻa i ka hana ʻana i nā loli olakino olakino hiki ke hele lōʻihi."

Wahi a ka American Heart Association, ʻoi aku ma mua o 50% o nā ʻAmelika ʻApelika āpau i loaʻa i ke koko kiʻekiʻe, kahi mea nui pilikia no ka maʻi puʻuwai.

Koi ʻo Kauka Mieres i nā wahine e ʻike i kā lākou helu kaomi koko ma ke ʻano he ʻanuʻu mua a hana pū me kā lākou kauka e hana i kahi hoʻolālā hoʻokele. "Inā ʻoe ma ka lāʻau, i kekahi poʻe, hiki i nā loli nohona ke hōʻemi iā ʻoe mai nā meds," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Kauka Mieres ʻo ke kaumaha nui a me ka loaʻa ʻole o ka hoʻoikaika kino nui hiki ke hāpai i kou makaʻi no ka maʻi puʻuwai. "E hana e lawe i nā ʻīniha i kou pūhaka, e hōʻoia ana ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka nui o kāu midsection ma mua o 35 ʻīniha," aʻoaʻo ʻo ia.

He paʻakikī paʻakikī ka paʻakikī ma ke kino a me ka noʻonoʻo.

Hoʻohui hou ʻo Kauka Mieres i ka ʻike ʻana o nā wahine i ke koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi i kahi pane "hakakā a lele paha" i hiki ke kumu i ke kahe o ke koko kiʻekiʻe a me nā pilikia olakino ʻē aʻe. "Hiki i kēia mau hoʻololi ke hoʻololi i nā kīʻaha koko i nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole a me ka cortisol kiʻekiʻe," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

Eia kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo olakino na Kauka Mieres:

• E hoʻomaha iki. E hoʻāʻo e hoʻohana i kahi polokalamu hoʻomaha a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i nā hoʻoikaika hanu.
• E komo i ka yoga.
• E hoʻoneʻe i kou kino. ʻO ka hele wāwae ʻana ma kahi o 15 mau minuke hiki ke kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kaumaha.
• E hoʻolohe i nā mele maikaʻi.
• Mai poina e ʻakaʻaka. Hiki ke kōkua i ka ʻakaʻaka he 10 wale nō.
