Iindlela Ezintandathu Zokukhusela Impilo Yakho
NGUMBHALELI KAVUKANI! ENIGERIA
NGOKUTSHO kweWorld Health Organization (WHO), bamalunga nama-25 ekhulwini abantu abahlala kumazwe asakhasayo abangafumani manzi acocekileyo. Abangaphezu kwama-66 ekhulwini—ubuncinane abantu abangama-2500 ezigidi—abayifumani inkqubo yokugutyulwa kokungcola efanelekileyo. Imiphumo kwabaninzi iba zizifo nokufa.
Kwiimeko ezinjalo, ukugcina ucoceko kulucelomngeni. Sekunjalo, ukuba ukucoca umzimba ukwenza kube sisiqhelo, uya kuzikhusela kwizifo ezininzi. Nanga amanyathelo amathandathu onokuwathabatha ukuze ukhusele wena nentsapho yakho kwiintsholongwane ezinokungena emzimbeni zize zibangele impilo enkenenkene.
1. Hlamba izandla ngamanzi nesepha xa uvela ngasese nangaphambi kokuba uphathe ukutya.
Indlela ebalulekileyo yokukhusela impilo kukuqiniseka ukuba amanzi nesepha zisoloko zikho ukuze yonke intsapho yakho ikwazi ukuhlamba izandla. Isepha namanzi zisusa iintsholongwane ezandleni—iintsholongwane ezisenokungena ekutyeni okanye emlonyeni. Ekubeni abantwana abancinane ngokufuthi bafaka iminwe emlonyeni, kubalulekile ukuba ngokufuthi bahlambe izandla, ngokukodwa ngaphambi kokuba banikwe ukutya.
Kubaluleke ngokukhethekileyo ukuzihlamba ngesepha izandla xa uvela kwindlu yangasese, ngaphambi kokuba uphathe ukutya, naxa ugqiba ukuphipha usana okanye umntwana ovela kwindlu yangasese.
2. Sebenzisa Indlu Yangasese.
Ukuthintela ukusasazeka kweentsholongwane, kubalulekile ukuyicoca ngokupheleleyo indawo ebinelindle. Izigulo ezininzi, ngokukodwa isisu segazi, zivela kwiintsholongwane ezikwilindle lomntu. Ezi ntsholongwane zinokungena emanzini aselwayo okanye ekutyeni, zinokuba sezandleni okanye kwizixhobo zokutya nakwiindawo ekwenzelwa kuzo ukutya. Xa kusenzeka oko, abantu banokuziginya ezo ntsholongwane baze bagule.
Ukuze uthintele oku, sebenzisa indlu yangasese. Ilindle lezilwanyana kufanele kuqinisekwe ukuba likude nezindlu nemithombo yamanzi. Unokumangaliswa kukuva ukuba ilindle losana okanye elabantwana abancinane liyingozi kakhulu kunelabantu abakhulu. Ngoko kwanabaselula bafundise ukusebenzisa indlu yangasese. Xa abantwana besiya ngasese kwindawo yimbi, ilindle labo lifanele licocwe ngokukhawuleza lize liye kuphoswa kwindlu yangasese okanye ligqunyelelwe.
Izindlu zangasese zifanele zigcinwe zicocekile.
3. Sebenzisa amanzi acocekileyo.
Iintsapho ezifumana amanzi amaninzi acocekileyo, aphuma kwiimpompo aziguli ngokufuthi njengezo zingawafumaniyo. Ezo zingenazo iimpompo zamanzi zinokukhusela impilo yazo ngokugcina amaqula egqunyiwe nangokuwabekela kude amanzi amdaka kulawo okusela, okuhlamba umzimba okanye iimpahla. Kukwabalulekile ukuba izilwanyana zingabi sendlwini yaye zibe kude namanzi okusela.
Enye indlela yokuzikhusela kwizifo kukugcina iiemele, iintambo nemiphanda yokukha amanzi icocekile. Ngokomzekelo, kubhetele ukuyixhoma iemele kunokuyibeka nje phantsi.
Amanzi okusela asekhaya afanele agcinwe kwisitya esicocekileyo, esigqunyiweyo. Amanzi akweso sitya amele akhiwe ngecephe elikhulu okanye ngekomityi ecocekileyo. Musa ukuvumela abantu bafake izandla emanzini okusela okanye basele ngomlomo kwisitya esinamanzi.
4. Bilisa amanzi okusela ngaphandle kokuba ngawempompo ekhuselekileyo.
Awona manzi okusela anempilo ngokuqhelekileyo aphuma kwimpompo. Amanzi aphuma kwezinye iindawo asenokuba neentsholongwane, ngoxa asenokubonakala ecocekile.
Ukuwabilisa amanzi kubulala iintsholongwane. Ngoko xa usikha amanzi emithonjeni, emaquleni, okanye ematankini, kububulumko ukuwabilisa uze uwayeke aphole ngaphambi kokuba uwasele. Amanzi okusela angenazintsholongwane abaluleke ngokukodwa ezintsaneni nakubantwana abancinane, ekubeni bechanabeke kakhulu kwizifo kunabantu abakhulu.
Ukuba akukwazi ukuwabilisa amanzi okusela, wagcine kwisitya esogqunyiweyo esenziwe ngeplastiki ekhanyayo okanye iglasi. Yandula ke uyibeke kwindawo enelanga kangangeentsuku ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba uwasebenzise loo manzi.
5. Ukutya kwakho makuhlale kucocekile.
Ukutya okufanele kutyiwe kukrwada kufanele kucocisiswe. Okunye ukutya kufanele kuphekisiswe, ngokukodwa inyama kuquka nenyama yenkuku.
Kulunge ngakumbi ukukutya ukutya kanye emva kokuba kuphekiwe; kuba akuyi konakala. Ukuba kufuneka ugcine ukutya okuphekiweyo ngaphezu kweeyure ezintlanu, ufanele ukugcine kushushu okanye kukwisikhenkcisi. Ngaphambi kokuba ukutye, umele ukufudumeze kakuhle.
Inyama ekrwada idla ngokuba neentsholongwane, ngoko ufanele ulumke ingadibani nokutya okuphekileyo. Emva kokuba uyilungisile le nyama ikrwada, coca izinto obuzisebenzisa kunye nayiphi na indawo obusebenzela kuyo ekhitshini.
Iindawo okulungiselelwa kuzo ukutya ekhitshini zimele zigcinwe zicocekile. Ukutya kumele kugqunywe kuze kube kude nendawo eneempukane, iimpuku, nezinye izilwanyana.
6. Yitshise okanye uyigqumelele inkunkuma yasendlwini.
Iimpukane ezisasaza iintsholongwane, ziyathanda ukuzalela kwiindawo ekulahlelwa kuzo ukutya. Ngoko inkunkuma yasendlwini akufanele iphoswe nje ebaleni. Imele igqunyelelwe, itshiswe, okanye itshatyalaliswe nokuba kungayiphi na indlela yonke imihla.
Ngokusebenzisa ezi zikhokelo, unokuzikhusela wena nentsapho yakho kwisisu segazi, ikholera, ityphoid, isifo esibangelwa ziintshulube, ityhefu esekutyeni, nakwezinye izifo ezininzi.
