Wachamungu hawapatwi na mashinikizo ya mawanzo na mfadhaiko wa fikra

Utafiti wa kisaikolojia umeonyesha kwamba, watu wanaofuata itikadi za kidini au wale wanaoamini uwepo wa mungu hawapatwi sana na mashinikizo kimawazo au mfadhaiko wa kifikra. Wasiwasi wa nafsi (anxiety) ni kama panga yenye ncha mbili ambazo zinaweza kumfanya mtu apatwe na mshituko hasa baada ya kutenda kosa na hata kujawa na woga. Utafiti huo uliochapishwa katika jarida la sayansi ya saikolojia umeonyesha kwamba, kuna tofauti muhimu kati ya ubongo wa waumini na ule wa wale wasioamini itikadi zozote za kidini wakati wanapokumbana na matatizo. Imeelezwa kuwa, sehemu ya mbele ya ubongo ambayo huratibu tabia kwa kutoa ishara wakati inapotakiwa kutoa au kudhibiti mambo, haifanyi kazi vizuri katika watu walio na imani ya Mungu. Kwa sababu hiyo basi waumini huwa hawana wasiwasi au hawahisi mashinikizo ya kifikra pale wanapofanya makosa.

Bibi Sara Obama kusaidia katika kampeni za kupambana na mbung'o

Umoja wa Afrika umetangaza leo kwamba Sara Obama, bibi yake Rais Barack Obama wa Marekani atatumia umaarufu wake kusaidia katika kampeni za kupambana na mbun'go, ambao wanasababisha ugonjwa wa Malalo. Timu ya AU iliyotembelea kijiji anochoishi bibi huyo cha Kogelo huko magharibi mwa Kenya imesema kuwa, Bi. Sara Obama mwenye umri wa miaka 78, amepatiwa dawa za kupambana na mbun'go pamoja na vifaa vya kutosha vitakavyotumika kuwatibu wanyama 3,000 ambao huweza kupata ugonjwa huo sawa na binadamu. Timu huyo imesema, Mama Sarah amefurahia wadhifa huo na kuahidi kwamba atakuwa balozi mzuri katika kampeni za kuwang'oa mbung'o kwenye eneo lake.
Inafaa kuashiria hapa kuwa nchi 37 za Kiafrika zinakabiliwa na mbu aina ya mbung'o ambao wanasababisha ugonjwa wa Malalo. Jitihada zinazofanywa na Umoja wa Afrika dhidi ya ugonjwa huo, tayari zimeshazaa matunda katika nchi za Botswana na Namibia.

Obama kuondoa marufuku ya uchunguzi wa seli mama

Rais Baraka Obama wa Marekani anatarajiwa kuondoa marufuku katika fedha za kusaidia katika utafiti kuhusiana na seli mama au stem cell. Rais aliyepita wa Marekani, George Bush alizuia kutumiwa fedha za serikali kufadhili utafiti wa seli mama za ambriyo baada ya tarehe 9 Agosti 2001.
Wanasayansi wanasema kuwa, utafiti juu ya seli mama utapelekea ugunduzi muhimu katika tiba, lakini makundi mengi ya kidini yanapinga uchunguzi huo. Seli mama ni seli ambazo zina uweza wa kugeuka na kuwa aina yoyote ya seli za mwili wa mwanadamu, kama vile mifupa, mishipa na hata seli za fahamu.
Lakini kutumiwa seli mama zinazotokana na embriyo ya mwanadamu katika utafiti huo ni suala lililozua mjadala mkubwa na baadhi ya watu wanasema kuwa, utafiti huo ni kinyume cha maadili. Tayari baadhi ya wanasayansi katika uwanja huo wameonyesha kufurahiashwa na hatua hiyo ya Obama wakisema kuwa, uchunguzi huo utaendelea tena baada ya kusimamishwa kwa miaka 8. Hatua hiyo ya Obama ni katika kutekeleza ahadi zake alizozitoa kabla ya kuchaguliwa kuwa Rais wa Marekani. Baadhi ya nchi kama vile Iran zinafanya utafiti wa seli mama na tayari zimepiga hatua zaidi ikilinganishwa na Marekani kuhusiana na suala hilo,

Uchunguzi mpya umeonyesha kuwa, kuangalia TV kwa muda mrefu huleta athma kwa watoto

Watoto wenye kuangalia televisheni kwa zaidi ya masaa mawili kila siku wanakabiliwa na hatari ya kupatwa na ugonjwa wa athma.
Uchunguzi huo umeonyesha kuwa, kuangalia televisheni kwa muda mrefu kunaleta uwezekano wa kupata athma uongezeke mara mbili kwa watoto.
Jinsi mfumo wa kupumua unavyofanya kazi wakati mtoto anapokaa tu bila kufanya chochote, hupelekea kutokea mabadiliko katika mapafu pamoja na magojwa mengine ya kupumua ikiwemo athma. Unene wa kupita kiasi pamoja na kutokufanya mazoezi kunakosababishwa na kuangalia muda mrefu televisheni hupelekwa kutokea hali hiyo Wataalamu wamesema kuwa, kuishi maisha ya kutokuwa na harakati yoyote katika umri mdogo hupelekea kuongezeka uwezekano wa hatari ya kupata athma ukubwani. Hivyo wamewashauri wazazi kuwashajiisha watoto wao kufuata maisha ya kawaida ya kuwa na mishughuliko na kupunguza muda wanaoutumia kuangalia TV. Wataalamu wa Uingereza wametoa taarifa hiyo baada ya kuwafanyia uchunguzi watoto 3,000 wa nchi hiyo kuanzia wale waliozaliwa mpaka walio na miaka 11.
Athma ni ugonjwa sugu ambao mara nyingi unawapata watoto ambapo hushindwa kupumua, pumzi kuwabana, kukohoa pamoja na kubwana na kifua.

Kufanya kazi muda mrefu huleta usahaulifu!

Kufanya kazi kwa muda mrefu kunaongeza hatari ya kupungua kwa akili na kukumbuka mambo, suala ambalo linanapelekea kwa kiasi kikubwa mtu kupatwa na magonjwa wa usahaulifu hasa uzeeni.(dementia).
Huko nyuma uchunguzi ulionyesha kwamba kuishi maisha yasiyo mazuri, kuongezeka kwa ukosefu wa usingizi, mifadhaiko ya kimawanzo na msongo wa mambo na kutokuwa na utulivu, mambo ambayo yako katika mfululizo mzima wa kufanya kazi kwa muda mrefu, kuna uhusino na matatizo ya mishipa ya damu.
Uchunguzi uliochapishwa pia katika Jarida elimu ya Magonjwa ya mlipuko la Marekani (Epidemiology Journal of America) umeonyesha kwamba, kufanya kazi za ziada au overtime, kuna athari mbaya katika ubongo.
Kwa hivyo wale wanaofanya kazi sana wako katika hatari ya kusahau mambo lakini kwa kipindi kufupi pamoja na kushindwa kukumbuka baadhi ya maneno.
Kushindwa kufanya kazi vizuri ubongo kumeonekana kutokea zaidi kati wale wanaofanya kazi zaidi ya masaa 55 kwa wiki, suala ambalo halionekani kwa wale wanaofanya kazi kwa viwango vya kawaida.

Wanasayansi wanaamini kuwa, kufanya kazi kwa kiwango cha kawaida pamoja na kula chakula bora na kilicho kamili, maingiliano ya kijamii ya kawaida pamoja na kufanya mazoezi ya mwili na akili, kunaweza kusaidia kupunguza uwezekano wa kupata magonjwa ya kusahau hasa uzeeni au dementia.
Haya kazi kwenu wadau, kwani hakuna anayetaka kuwasahau wajukuu zake pindi atakapozeeka. Shime tuzitunze afya zetu!
