Ndoa ya kulazimishwa ni ile ambayo mwanamume au mwanamke
anaozwa bila yeye mwenyewe kukubali kufunga ndoa kwa
hiari yake. Katika mazingira hayo wasichana au wavulana
wanalazimishwa kufunga ndoa. Wakati mwingine wazazi wanafikiri
wanajua nini kizuri kwa watoto waona hivyo kuwachagulia mume
au mke.

Mara nyingi wazazi wanafikiria mambo ya uchumi na
kijamii katika kumchagulia
msichana au mvulana nani
amwoe.
Wanaweza kujaribu kumwoza
mtoto wao katika familia
ya kitajiri. Sababu nyingine
inayolazimisha mtu kuoa
ni mimba. Iwapo binti,
amepata mimba yeye na
mvulana aliyempa mimba
wanalazimishwa kufunga
ndoa kwa sababu baadhi ya
jamii hazikubali watoto wa
nje ya ndoa. Mara nyingine vijana wanalazimishwa kuoa kwa sababu
wamefikia umri ambao jamii inawategemea kuoa. Mara nyingi kuna
utii wa amri ya kuoa kwa vile mvulana au msichana anaogopa
kutengwa na kufukuzwa na mara nyingine anatishiwa, mateso
na unyanyasaji wa kimwili.

Ni msukumo wa damu ulio juu kuliko inavyotakiwa kwa muda mrefu. Msukumo wa damu huhitajika mwilini ili kusambaza chakula, oksijeni na kutoa uchafu. Shinikizo la damu hupimwa kwa kutumia kifaa kinachoitwa Sphygmomanometer

Shinikizo la damu husababishwa na nini?

Vitu vifuatavyo vinaweza kusababisha shinikizo la juu la damu:

1. Uvutaji sigara
2. Unene na uzito kupita kiasi
3. Unywaji wa pombe
4. Upungufu wa madini ya potassium
5. Upungufu wa vitamin D
6. Umri mkubwa
7. Ongezeko la kemikali kwenye figo (renin)
8. Kushindwa kufanyakazi kwa kichocheo kiitwacho insulin

Uanishaji wa shinikizo la damu

Presha ya kawaida <120 <80 Presha inayoelekea kupanda 120-139 80-89 Presha hatua ya 1 140-159 90-99 Presha hatua ya 2 160-179 100-109 Presha hatua ya 3 ≥180 ≥110 Shinikizo la damu/BP ni ugonjwa unaosumbuwa watu wengi sana duniani na hii ni kutokana na kutokujuwa ni nini hasa husababisha ugonjwa huu mwilini. Shinikizo la damu linaonekana kuwa ni ugonjwa wa kuishi kwa kufuata masharti. Katika makala hii tutaona uhusiano mkubwa uliopo kati ya upungufu wa maji mwilini na ugonjwa huu, mwishoni utakuwa umeelewa sasa ni jinsi gani ilivyo rahisi kabisa kujiepusha na kujiponya ugonjwa huu. Endelea kusoma. Takwimu za Shirika la Afya Ulimwenguni (WHO) zinasema tayari watu bilioni moja duniani kote, wanaathiriwa na shinikizo la juu la damu huku likisababisha mshtuko wa moyo (Heart Attacks), kupooza na kiharusi (Strokes). Takribani watu milioni nane hufa kila mwaka kutokana na ugonjwa huu wa kupanda kwa shinikizo la damu.

Dalili zitakazokutokea unapokuwa na ugonjwa huu ni pamoja na;

1. Maumivu ya kichwa (Haswa nyuma ya kichwa mara nyingi nyakati za asubuhi),
2. Kuchanganyikiwa,
3. Kizunguzungu,
4. Kelele sikioni (Mvumo au Mazomeo masikioni),
5. Kutoweza kuona vizuri au
6. Matukio ya kuzirai.
7. Uchovu/kujisikia kuchokachoka
8. Mapigo ya moyo kwenda haraka
9. Kutokuweza kuona vizuri
10. Damu kutoka puani
11. Uonapo dalili hizi unapaswa kuwahi hospitali kupata vipimo.

Shinikizo la damu (hasa la juu) ni kiashiria cha mwili kupungukiwa maji kwa kiwango kikubwa, ni wakati ambapo mwili unajaribu kujizoesha na upungufu wa jumla wa maji wakati kunapokuwa hakuna maji ya kutosha kuijaza mishipa ya damu yenye kazi ya kusambaza maji kwenye seli mhimu. Mishipa ya damu imebuniwa maalumu kuendana na mtiririko uliosawa wa ujazo wake wa damu na mahitaji mbalimbali ya tishu kwa kufunga na kufungua mishipa mbalimbali ya damu ndani ya mwili. Figo hushtuka upesi kulingana na mtiririko wa damu. Hili linaposhindikana, yaani iwapo mtiririko au ujazo wa damu utapungua, basi Figo huitoa homoni iitwayo ‘renini’ ambayo yenyewe huzarisha kitu kiitwacho ‘angiotensini’ ambayo huwa na matokeo mawili; kwanza huzibana ateri na kupandisha shinikizo la damu, pili huisababisha tezi ya ‘adreno’ kutoa homoni iitwayo ‘aldosteroni’ ambayo huzifanya figo kuishikilia chumvi na hivyo kusababisha kupanda kwa shinikizo la damu. Asilimia 94 ya damu ni maji. Kwa ujumla kila seli ndani ya miili yetu ina bahari ya maji baridi ndani yake na bahari ya maji chumvi nje yake. Afya bora inategemea uwiano mzuri wa maji ya bahari hizo mbili. Chumvi inayashikilia na kuyalazimisha baadhi ya maji kubaki nje ya seli (osmotic retention) na potasiamu inayashikilia maji ndani ya seli. Wakati mwili unapokuwa katika upungufu wa maji (yaani haunywi maji ya kutosha kila siku) mwili utaongeza ujazo wa maji chumvi kwenye bahari ya nje ya seli. Kupitia mfumo maalumu, homoni iitwayo ‘vasopressini’ hutolewa ambayo inaweza kuyachuja maji ya chumvi toka katika bahari ya nje ya seli na kuyachoma maji hayo baridi (baada ya kuwa yamechujwa) ndani katikati ya bahari ya ndani ya seli kama yanavyohitajika ili kuutunza uwiano sawa wa maji ndani na nje ya seli. Lakini ili mbinu hii ifanikiwe, mbinu gani, mbinu ya kuyachuja maji ya chumvi toka katika bahari ya nje ya seli, vasopressini husababisha kapilari na mishipa ya damu kujikaza au kupunguza vipenyo vyake na kukupatia wewe shinikizo la juu la damu (BP) ambalo ni mhimu ili kuyachuja na kuyachoma maji baridi ndani ya seli toka katika bahari ya maji chumvi iliyopo nje ya seli. Kama mishipa ya damu haitapunguza vipenyo vyake, baadhi ya gesi itaachana na damu ili kuziba nafasi zilizowazi kutokana na kupungua kwa umajimaji mwilini na hatimaye kukusababishia msongamano wa Gesi (Gas locks). Sifa hii ya vipenyo vya mishipa ya damu kujirekebisha kwa ajili ya mzunguko wa damu, ndiyo mtindo unaotumika zaidi katika kanuni za kihaidroliki wakati ambapo mzunguko wa damu mwilini umejirekebisha kuendana na kiasi cha umajimaji kinachopatikana. Wakati mwili unapokuwa katika upungufu wa maji kwa mfano kutokana na kutokunywa maji ya kutosha; asilimia 66 ya kuishiwa maji inajionesha kwa kupungua kwa ujazo wa seli, asilimia 26 inapotea toka ujazo wa umajimaji uliopo sehemu ya nje ya seli na asilimia 8 tu inapotea toka katika ujazo wa damu. Shinikizo la juu la damu ni kiashirio cha mwili kupungukiwa maji kwa asilimia 8 tu, lakini madhara yanajitokeza sababu ya asilimia 66 ya kupunguwa kwa ujazo wa seli. Maji na chumvi vitalirudisha shinikizo la damu katika hali yake ya kawaida. Hii ndiyo sababu shinikizo la damu linapaswa kutibiwa kwa kuongeza unywaji wa maji pekee. Dr.Batmanghelidj anasema; Maji peke yake, ni dawa bora ya kukojosha, pekee ya asili tuwezayo kuiendea. Kama watu wanaosumbuliwa na shinikizo la damu wangeongeza kiasi cha uchukuaji maji, hawatazihitaji dawa za kukojosha, watazarisha mkojo wa kutosha na hivyo kuiondoa chumvi iliyokuwa imezidi!. Watatakiwa pia kuacha kula vyakula visivyo na chumvi na hivyo kuepukana na mikakamao ya mishipa (cramps) kwenye miguu yao.

Madhara yanayoweza kuletwa na shinikizo la damu:

Kwa mjibu wa dr.Batmanghelidj, kutokulielewa shinikizo la damu kama moja ya ishara za mwili kupungukiwa maji na kulitibu kwa dawa za kukojosha ambazo zinaukausha mwili zaidi, baada ya muda zitasababisha;

1. Kuzibika kwa ateri za moyo na ateri ziendazo kwenye ubongo
2. Shambulio la moyo (heart attack)
3. Mishtuko midogo midogo au mikubwa inayopelekea kuzimia
4. Ugonjwa wa kibofu cha mkojo
5. Kiharusi
6. Kupungua kwa nguvu za kiume kwa upande wa wanaume
7. Kuharibiwa kwa ubongo na matatizo ya akili kama vile kupoteza kumbukumbu (Alzheimer).

Daktari mwingine, Dr.David Brownstein katika kitabu chake kiitwacho; “Salt Your Way to Live”, anasema kwamba alifundishwa katika vyuo vya kiganga kuwa chumvi husababisha shinikizo la damu na kuwa kila mmoja lazima ale vyakula vyenye chumvi kidogo. Na hili watu wengi wamekuwa wakiamini hivi. Wakati akiwatibu wagonjwa wake, anasema; alianza kuona kuwa wale wanaotumia vyakula vyenye chumvi kidogo wanapata matokeo ya chini au wanapata nafuu ndogo sana kutoka katika vyakula hivyo vyenye chumvi kidogo au bila chumvi kabisa na wengi wao walitokewa kuwa na uhaba mkubwa wa madini katika miili yao. Katika utafiti wake ili kuwasaidia wagonjwa wake, ndipo akaja na jibu la chumvi ya baharini ambayo haijasafishwa (unrefined sea salt) ambayo huwa na madini mengine zaidi ya 80 ndani yake, alianza kuona kitu kigeni kinaanza kutokea. Wagonjwa wake hao wakaanza kuona mashinikizo yao ya damu yanaanza kushuka katika kiwango ambacho wanaweza kuachana kabisa na matumizi ya dawa. Dr.Batmanghelidj anasema, ikiwa watu watajishughulisha na mazoezi hasa mazoezi ya kutembea kwa miguu, watakunywa maji halisi zaidi na kuongeza chumvi (siyo sodiamu) kidogo ya ziada kwenye vyakula vyao, mashinikizo yao ya damu yatarudi katika hali yake ya kawaida. Swali la kujiuliza; Ni zaidi ya miongo minne sasa tangu tulipoambiwa kula vyakula vyenye chumvi kidogo ili kuepukana na shinikizo la damu, kwanini sasa Idadi ya watu wanaopatwa na ugonjwa huu inazidi kuongezeka?. Narudia tena, mwili unapoanza kuishikilia chumvi, hufanya hivyo ili kuhifadhi maji, toka katika bahari chumvi hiyo ya nje ya seli, maji huchujwa na kutumika wakati wa mahitaji ya dharura. Maji na chumvi kwa pamoja vitalirudisha shinikizo la damu katika hali yake ya kawaida. Kuikimbia chumvi kunasababisha shinikizo la damu (BP) kuwa sehemu ya maisha yetu, tutapata nafuu, lakini baada ya muda mfupi hali hurudi ileile na pengine kuwa watumwa wa kuchagua kula hiki au kile. Tofauti na zamani ambapo shinikizo la juu la damu lilipokuwa ni ugonjwa wa watu wanene au wenye uzito uliozidi pekee, siku hizi wanene kwa wembamba, watoto kwa wakubwa wanaugua BP.

Prioritizing Women's Mental Wellness: A Call to Action

Women's mental health is a critical component of overall well-being, yet it often remains overlooked and underestimated. The pervasive silence surrounding this issue necessitates immediate action. We must actively create a culture of understanding and support, empowering women to prioritize their mental health without stigma or shame.

The challenges faced by women are multifaceted and often uniquely demanding. Societal expectations, gender-based violence, and the juggling act of multiple roles—professional, familial, and personal—contribute to significant mental health strain. This burden leaves many women feeling isolated, unheard, and struggling in silence. Breaking this cycle requires a concerted effort from individuals, communities, and governing bodies alike.

Seeking help for mental health concerns is a testament to strength, not weakness. Prioritizing self-care is not selfish; it's essential. Women should feel empowered to utilize resources such as therapy, support groups, and self-care practices tailored to their needs. These practices could include mindfulness exercises, regular physical activity, nutritious eating, and sufficient sleep – all vital components of holistic well-being.

Education plays a pivotal role in destigmatizing mental health and empowering women to take control of their well-being. Accessible and reliable information on mental health conditions, symptoms, and treatment options is crucial. Knowledge equips women to identify potential issues, seek appropriate help, and advocate for their needs.

The societal stigma surrounding mental health necessitates a fundamental shift in perspective. Open conversations, shared experiences, and a compassionate approach are vital in dismantling the barriers preventing women from accessing support. Breaking the silence starts with us; by sharing our stories and fostering empathy, we can create a more inclusive and understanding environment.

Equitable access to affordable and high-quality mental health services is paramount. Financial constraints should never impede a woman's ability to receive the care she needs. Collaboration between governments, healthcare providers, and non-profit organizations is essential to ensure accessible and affordable mental health resources for all women, regardless of socioeconomic status.

Strong support networks are indispensable for maintaining mental well-being. Friends, family, and support groups offer invaluable listening ears and unwavering support. The simple act of sharing burdens and finding a compassionate listener can make a profound difference in someone's journey towards mental wellness.

The interconnectedness of physical and mental health cannot be overstated. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sufficient sleep contribute significantly to improved mood and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. Prioritizing physical health is an investment in overall well-being.

For women navigating multiple responsibilities, setting healthy boundaries is crucial. Learning to say "no" when necessary, and prioritizing self-care, prevents burnout and promotes sustainable mental wellness. Time management techniques and effective delegation can significantly reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Engaging in enjoyable and relaxing activities is an essential component of self-care. Whether it's pursuing hobbies, spending time in nature, or practicing relaxation techniques, carving out time for personal joy significantly impacts mental and emotional well-being.

Recognizing the warning signs of mental health struggles in oneself and others is vital. Changes in mood, appetite, sleep patterns, and social withdrawal can indicate underlying issues. Seeking professional help from a healthcare provider is not a sign of weakness but a proactive step towards recovery and improved mental health. Early intervention is key.

Remember, seeking help is a courageous act, not a sign of failure. Just as we seek medical attention for physical ailments, we must prioritize our mental well-being. There is no shame in needing support, and reaching out for help is a testament to self-awareness and resilience.

Let's continue the conversation. What initiatives can we implement to further raise awareness and support women's mental health? How can we create a truly supportive and inclusive environment where every woman feels empowered to prioritize her well-being? Share your thoughts and ideas; together, we can make a meaningful difference.
