Kwiiveki ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, emva kokuvuka ngeentlungu zentamo kusuku lwesithathu ngokulandelelana, ndiye ndaqonda ukuba ekugqibeleni inokuba lixesha lomqamelelo omtsha. Andonwabanga ngayo - ndiwuthandile umqamelo wam. Kodwa yayinamaqhuqhuva, kwaye ivuza iintsiba ngalo lonke ixesha ndoyama ngayo, kwaye phantsi kwayo yayiyimbala etyheli enamachaphaza esongelo lomama. Kwakunjalo, ndaqonda, malunga neminyaka eli-15 ubudala. Oku kubonakala ngathi, kunokwenzeka, kakhulu.
Ndithathe isigqibo sokugcina isigwebo ndide ndicinge ukuba ndiwelephi kumqamelelo wobunzima. Ndigxothe iqela labahlobo: Koda kube nini nina niyigcina imiqamelo yenu? Akukho mntu uphendulileyo; wonke umntu, ndicinga ukuba, woyika ukuba ngowona mkhulu. Ngokuqinisekileyo bendinayo eyam, njenge, iminyaka eli-12… ndongeze, ndirhangqa. Kwavuleka amasango ezikhukula.
Ndinomqamelo ebendinawo ukusukela oko ndandifana… nesithathu? Utshilo uKatie, intatheli eneminyaka engamashumi amathathu anesithathu. Abanye abantu basebenzisa imiqamelo efanayo iminyaka ngaphandle kokuziqhelanisa, kodwa abanye banokwenza njalo ngabom, ngenjongo: Eyam ubuncinci ineminyaka engama-20 ubudala, mhlawumbi indala, utshilo uLeya. Imithwalo yeplati ayenziwanga. Zenziwe ngaphezulu kweminyaka yokusetyenziswa.
Ndivakalelwa ngathi ndivile ukuba ubumele ukubabuyisela endaweni yabo qho emva kweminyaka embalwa? Kodwa usapho lwam luthanda, kakhulu imiqamelo yelifa, utshilo uCasey. Le minyaka yonke embalwa yentsimbi yakhala, nangona ndingenakukuxelela ukuba ndifunda esi siphakamiso kwenye indawo, okanye ukuba ibiyenye nje yezinto ozaziyo kwaye ungazihoyi, nokuba ungagcini intsalela ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezintathu. Ngaba yayiyinyani? Zingaphi iipilo ekufanele ukuba bendinazo kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo bendisebenzisa le?
Ndibuze uGqirha uJoseph Dizon, inkosi yeSebe lezeMpilo, i-Asthma kunye ne-Immunology e IZiko lonyango laseKaiser Permanente West Los Angeles , Kufuneka abantu bagcine ixesha elingakanani imiqamelo, kwaye ngelixa engazukundinika inani elichanekileyo, kubonakala kukhuselekile ukuthi impendulo inokuba ingaphantsi kweminyaka engama-20.
Ingxaki ephambili ngokugcina umqamelo owuthandayo iminyaka? Uthuli. Ngenxa yokuba sinako ukuchitha iiseli zolusu koomatrasi nakumqamelo, ezi ziya kuba ziindawo ezinokuthi zibambe uthuli, utshilo uDizon. Okukhona unomqamelo ixesha elide, kokukhona kunokwenzeka ukuba uzakubanazo iintsholongwane zothuli ezininzi ezihlala kuyo, ngakumbi ukuba awenzi nanye into ukunciphisa uxinzelelo lwe-mite.
Izidudu zothuli zingakhokelela kwizigulo zezigulo zee-aleji, ezinokubangela isifuba. Ngelixa uthuli olungenakuthintelwa ngokupheleleyo, iDizon iphakamisa iindlela ngeendlela zokulwa nazo: usebenzisa imiqamelo yeentsiba endaweni yezinto zokwenziwa (imiqamelo eyenziwayo ithanda ukuba nezingxobo ezilukiweyo ngokukhululekileyo kuneentsiba ezenza imiqamelo, evumela ukuba kube lula ukuhamba ngothuli), usebenzisa i Isimbozo se-hypoallergenic ujikeleze umqamelo wakho kunye ukuhlamba rhoqo .
Masithi unomqamelo wakho owuthandayo- kwaye mhlawumbi ngumqamelo owenziweyo- ngaphezulu kweminyaka eli-10, kwaye uwufaka kumatshini wokuhlamba kwaye uwuyeke ungene emanzini, ke uzibeka kwindawo engcono Ukungavezwa kukungcola kothuli, utsho uDizon.
Masithi kwakhona, ngokuqikelela, ukuba awunakukhathazeka ngokwenene ukukhathazeka malunga nothuli njengoko kufanelekile, kuba zincinci, kwaye zininzi ezinye iingxaki zokujongana nobomi. Masithi uxhalabile kakhulu malunga nomphumo onokuba nawo umqamelo wakho omkhulu kulusu lwakho. Ndonwabile ukunika ingxelo yokuba uRandy Schueller, usokhemisi wezithambiso kunye nomseki-kunye Iingqondo zeBuhle , ithi ngokwembono yolusu, imfuneko yokutshintsha umqamelo womntu kwimodeli entsha ayisiyonto inkulu.
Ukunxiba izithambiso ezinzima ebhedini kunye nokubila ubusuku bonke kunokuthi, ithiyori, kubonelele ngohlobo oluthile lokutya ukuze ibacteria ikhule, utshilo uSchueller, kodwa akunakulindeleka: Nokuba umqamelo wakho umdala, umqamelo walapho usebenza njengomqobo, kwaye uninzi lwabantu luyahlamba ezo zihlala zisenzeka, utsho. Ndiyamxelela ukuba ndicinga ukuba kukupha, kodwa uthi nokuba uhlamba amatyala omqamelo kanye ngenyanga, kungenzeka ukuba awunampembelelo kulusu lwakho. Nokuba ufuziselwe ukuba ube ne-acne, okanye awukho. Udinga izinto ezintathu [ukufumana amabala]: into ebangela okungaqhelekanga kweseli yolusu, ibacteria kunye nemveliso yeoyile egqithisileyo, utshilo uSchueller. Ukufumana izithambiso kumqamelo wakho akuyitshintshi loo nto.
Kukho izizathu ezithile ezifanelekileyo zokutshintsha umqamelo wakho ubuncinci kabini ebomini (inkxaso efanelekileyo yentamo, enye), kodwa ukuvumelana kwesayensi kubonakala ngathi akukho xesha linyani, ixesha elinzima malunga nexesha ekufuneka uyenzile ngalo. Ngethuba nje uhlamba i-pillowcases yakho kunye nomqamelo wakho ngokwawo rhoqo (kunye nokusebenzisa ikhava ye-hypoallergenic, ukuba ufuna ikhredithi eyongezelelweyo), ulungile. Awuyi kugcina yonke into yokugqibela yothuli kwaye awuyi kugcina kuzo zonke iintsiba zokugqibela, kodwa bubomi.
