Kusintha kwa ukalamba mmaonekedwe amthupi

Thupi lanu limasintha mwachilengedwe mukamakula. Simungapewe zina mwa zosinthazi, koma zosankha zanu pamoyo zitha kuchedwetsa kapena kufulumizitsa ntchitoyi.

Thupi la munthu limapangidwa ndi mafuta, minofu yowonda (minofu ndi ziwalo), mafupa, ndi madzi. Pambuyo pa zaka 30, anthu amakonda kutaya minofu yowonda. Minofu yanu, chiwindi, impso, ndi ziwalo zina zitha kutaya maselo ake. Njira yotaya minofu imatchedwa atrophy. Mitsempha imatha kutaya ena mwa mchere ndikuchepera (vuto lotchedwa osteopenia koyambirira komanso kufooka kwa mafupa kumapeto kwake). Kuchepetsa minofu kumachepetsa kuchuluka kwa madzi mthupi lanu.

Kuchuluka kwa mafuta amthupi kumakwera pambuyo pofika zaka 30. Anthu okalamba atha kukhala ndi mafuta ochulukirapo gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu poyerekeza ndi nthawi yomwe anali achichepere. Minofu yamafuta imakhazikika chakumbuyo kwa thupi, kuphatikiza ziwalo zamkati. Komabe, mafuta osanjikiza pakhungu amachepa.

Chizoloŵezi chofupika chimachitika pakati pa mafuko onse komanso amuna ndi akazi. Kutaya kumakhudzana ndi kusintha kwa ukalamba m'mafupa, minofu, ndi mafupa. Anthu nthawi zambiri amataya pafupifupi inchi imodzi (pafupifupi sentimita imodzi) zaka 10 zilizonse atakwanitsa zaka 40. Kuchepetsa thupi kumathamanga kwambiri mukatha zaka 70. Mutha kutaya masentimita awiri mpaka awiri mpaka 7.5 kutalika ngati inu zaka. Mutha kuthandizira kupewa kutalika kwakutali potsatira zakudya zabwino, kukhala olimbikira, komanso kupewa komanso kuchiza kutayika kwa mafupa.

Minofu yaying'ono yamiyendo ndi ziwalo zolimba zimatha kupangitsa kuti uziyenda molimbika. Mafuta owonjezera amthupi ndi kusintha kwa mawonekedwe amthupi zimatha kusokoneza kuchepa kwanu. Kusintha kwa thupi kumeneku kumatha kugwa.

Zosintha thupi lathunthu zimasiyana pakati pa abambo ndi amai. Amuna nthawi zambiri amalemera mpaka azaka pafupifupi 55, kenako amayamba kuonda pambuyo pake. Izi zitha kukhala zokhudzana ndi kutsika kwa testosterone yamwamuna yogonana. Amayi nthawi zambiri amakhala onenepa mpaka zaka 65, kenako amayamba kuonda. Kuchepetsa thupi pambuyo pake m'moyo kumachitika pang'ono chifukwa mafuta amalowa m'malo mwa minofu yowonda, ndipo mafuta amalemera pang'ono kuposa minofu. Zakudya ndi zizolowezi zolimbitsa thupi zitha kutengapo gawo lalikulu pakusintha kwa kulemera kwa munthu m'moyo wawo wonse.

Zosankha zanu pamoyo zimakhudza momwe ukalamba umachitikira mwachangu. Zinthu zina zomwe mungachite kuti muchepetse kusintha kwa thupi ndi izi:

• Muzichita masewera olimbitsa thupi nthawi zonse.
• Idyani chakudya chopatsa thanzi chomwe chimaphatikizapo zipatso ndi ndiwo zamasamba, tirigu wathunthu, ndi kuchuluka kwamafuta athanzi.
• Chepetsani kumwa mowa.
• Pewani mankhwala osokoneza bongo komanso mankhwala osokoneza bongo.
