Igikakarubamba ni igihingwa cyagiye gihabwa agaciro gakomeye mu mateka y’abantu batandukanye ku isi kubera ubushobozi gifite bwo gukiza no kurinda. N’ubwo benshi bacyibona nk’ikimera cy’inkingo n’uruhu, amateka yacyo agaragaza ko cyakoze byinshi birenze ibyo dutekereza.

Hiroshima nyuma y’igisasu

Nyuma y’aho igisasu cya kirimbuzi kigabwe kuri Hiroshima mu 1945, ubutaka bwahindutse amatongo, ibimera byose bitwikwa n’ubushyuhe bukabije. Abaturage benshi bari bazi ko ubuzima bushobora kutazasubira kuri ubwo butaka. Ariko hashize igihe gito, abaturage batangajwe no kubona igikakarubamba gitangiye kumera mu nkengero z’aho igisasu cyagabwaga. Ibi byabaye ikimenyetso gikomeye cy’uko ubuzima bushobora kongera gutangira no mu gihe byose byasaga n’ibyamaze kurimbuka.

Igikakarubamba cyahise gihabwa agaciro nk’igihingwa cy’icyizere, kuko atari cyo cyongeye kwera mbere y’ibindi, ahubwo cyanifashishwaga mu kuvura ibikomere n’inkovu zatewe n’ubushyuhe n’imirasire mibi yatewe n’icyo gisasu. Abaturage bagikataga bakavanamo amazi bashyira ku mubiri bikabafasha kuruhuka. Iyo nkuru yaje no kuba igice cy’ubuvanganzo bw’Abayapani, aho igikakarubamba cyafatwaga nk’ikirango cy’ubuzima bushya n’ihumure.

Mu Misiri ya kera

Mu Misiri ya kera, igikakarubamba cyitwaga “Igihingwa cy’ubudahangarwa.” Abami n’abamikazi nka Cleopatra na Nefertiti bakoresheje amazi yacyo mu kurinda uruhu no kumererwa neza mu busitani bw’ubuhehere. Cyakoreshejwe no mu gutegura imibiri y’abapfuye bashyinguwe kubera imiti yica udukoko ibamo.

Mu Bugereki bwa kera

Umuganga w’umunyabugenge w’Umugereki, Hippocrates (sekuru w’ubuvuzi bw’iki gihe), yakoresheje igikakarubamba mu kuvura ibikomere, indwara z’uruhu, n’uburibwe. Abasirikare b’Abagiriki na ba Romani bagitwaraga nk’igikoresho cya mbere cy’ubuvuzi ku rugamba.

Muri Aziya y’amateka

Mu Bushinwa no mu Buhinde, igikakarubamba cyitwaga “Icyatsi cy’ijuru” cyangwa “Umuti w’ubuzima.” Cyakoreshejwe cyane mu kuvura indwara z’igifu, uduheri, n’indwara z’uruhu, ndetse cyizerwaga ko cyongera imbaraga mu mubiri.

Mu nyandiko za Bibiliya

Igikakarubamba kivugwa muri Bibiliya, cyane cyane muri Yohana 19:39, aho Nikodemu yazanye igikakarubamba n’imyubati mu gupfunyika umurambo wa Yesu. Ibi byagaragazaga ko cyari gifite agaciro gakomeye no mu migenzo ya gihanga n’iyobokamana.

Isi y’iki gihe

Muri iki gihe, igikakarubamba gikoreshwa cyane mu bikoresho by’ubwiza n’isuku, nk’amavuta y’uruhu, amasabune, n’amashampo. Gifite vitamini nyinshi nka A, C, E na B-complex, kikungahaye ku myunyu ngugu nka zinc, calcium na magnesium. Ku isi yose, gifatwa nk’igihingwa cy’agatangaza kubera uko cyihanganira ibihe bikomeye kandi kikaba gifite ubushobozi bwo kugarura ubuzima.

Igikakarubamba si ikimera gisanzwe, ni icyatsi cyanditse amateka mu buryo butangaje, kigaragaza ko ubuzima bushobora gukomeza no mu mwijima mwinshi. Ubutaha tuzagaruko ku ndwara cyivura ndetse n’uburyo gikoreshwamo

Impyiko ni ibice by’ingenzi cyane mu mubiri w’umuntu kuko zifasha gusukura amaraso, gusohora imyanda no kugenzura urugero rw’amazi n’imyunyu mu mubiri. Iyo impyiko zangiritse, bishobora guteza ibibazo bikomeye by’ubuzima, harimo no gukenera gufashwa n’imashini zo gusimbura imirimo yazo. Kugira ngo tubungabunge ubuzima bw’impyiko zacu, ni ngombwa kumenya no gukurikiza imyitwarire iboneye, cyane cyane mu mirire no mu buzima bwa buri munsi.

Mu rwego mpuzamahanga, indwara z’impyiko, ziragira ingaruka zikomeye. ku isi bantu barenga 800–850 miliyoni barwaye impyiko, ntabwo ari bake ku isi, bigaragaza ko abantu batatu ku icumi (10 %) bafite icyo kibazo. Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika yonyine, abantu 35.5 miliyoni (ni ukuvuga 14 % by’abakuru) bafite indwara y’impyiko. Ku byerekeye urupfu, imibare yerekana ko abantu hafi 1.4 miliyoni bapfa buri mwaka kubera indwara y’impyiko. Izi ni zimwe mu mpamvu  ku isi bigaragaza ubushobozi buke bwo kuvura no gukumira iki kibazo. Iki kibazo gikomeje kuzamuka mu bice byinshi by’isi, cyane cyane mu bihugu bikiri mu nzira y’amajyambere.

Muri iyi nkuru, tugiye kureba ibintu by’ingenzi wakora kugira ngo wirinde indwara y’impyiko.

1. Kunywa amazi ahagije buri munsi

Amazi afasha impyiko gukuramo imyanda neza. Kunywa byibura litiro 3 z’amazi buri munsi bifasha impyiko gukora neza no kwirinda amabuye mu mpyiko.

 2. Kurya indyo yuzuye kandi iboneye

Irinde ibiribwa birimo ibinure byinshi, n’ibisembuye cyane. Kurya imboga, imbuto (nka oranges zifite citrate), ibinyampeke birimo fibre, bifasha impyiko gukomeza gukora neza.

 3. Guhangana no kugabanya umunyu mu mafunguro

Umunyu mwinshi wica impyiko buhoro buhoro. Gabanya ibiryo byongera umunyu cyane (nk’amasosi, ibiryo byo mu nganda, imitobe yongera imyunyu), kandi wirinde kurya umunyu mubisi (udatetse).

4. Gukurikirana umuvuduko w’amaraso n’isukari

Umuvuduko w’amaraso ukabije n’igisukari (diabetes) biri mu bitera indwara y’impyiko. Jya wipimisha buri gihe, wifashishe muganga igihe bibaye ngombwa.

5. Kureka itabi n’inzoga

Itabi n’inzoga bibangamira imikorere y’impyiko, bikayitera gutakaza ubushobozi bwo gusukura amaraso. Kubyirinda birinda impyiko n’ubuzima bwawe muri rusange bikagira akamaro kanini.

6. Kwihutira kwivuza igihe ugaragaje ibimenyetso

Ibimenyetso nk’umunaniro ukabije, gucika intege, kubyimba amaguru cyangwa mu maso, guhinduka kw’inkari cyangwa ububabare munda ni bimwe mubimenyetso bigaragaza indwara y’impyiko. Jya wivuza hakiri kare.

Indwara z’impyiko ni ikibazo gikomeye cy’ubuzima ku isi, aho abantu barenga 850 miliyoni bayirwaye, kandi abarenga 1.4 miliyoni bapfa buri mwaka bazize iyo ndwara. Ibi byerekana ko impyiko ari ingingo y’ingenzi cyane mu mubiri w’umuntu, kuko zifasha gusukura amaraso, kugenzura amazi n’imyunyu, no gufasha imikorere myiza y’umubiri wose. Kwirinda izi ndwara ni ingenzi, binyuze mu kurya indyo yuzuye, kunywa amazi ahagije, kwirinda itabi n’inzoga, kwipimisha buri gihe no guhindura imibereho iganisha ku buzima bwiza.

Ariko kandi, hari abantu bashukishwa amafaranga bagatekereza kugurisha impyiko zabo. Iyi myumvire ni ikosa rikomeye kandi rishobora gushyira ubuzima bwabo mu kaga k’igihe kirekire. Kugurisha impyiko bishobora gutera ingaruka zirimo:

• Kubaho n’impyiko imwe idafite imbaraga zihagije
• Kugira ibyago byinshi byo kurwara impyiko isigaye
• Ibikomere byo ku mubiri no ku mutima
• Gukena nyuma yo kuyigurisha, kuko amafaranga aba arangiye vuba ariko ubuzima buba bwangiritse burundu
• Gukoreshwa nabi cyangwa kugwa mu bucuruzi butemewe n’amategeko

Inama: Aho gutekereza kugurisha impyiko, shaka uko wakwiteza imbere mu buryo burambye wihugure, ube mu matsinda y’ubwizigame, usabe ubufasha mu bigo bifasha urubyiruko cyangwa abakennye. Ubuzima bwawe ni ingenzi kurusha amafaranga y’ako kanya. Impyiko ntigira agaciro ku isoko, ifite agaciro gakomeye mu buzima bwawe. Irinde guhitamo icyaguteza umubabaro w’igihe kirekire.

Oranges ni zimwe mu mbuto zifite akamaro kanini ku buzima bw’umuntu. Uretse kuba ziryoshye kandi zoroshye kuribwa, zikungahaye cyane kuri vitamin C n’izindi ntungamubiri zifasha umubiri kwirinda indwara, gukomeza ubudahangarwa no gufasha imikorere myiza y’umutima, ubwonko, ndetse n’impyiko. Kuri benshi, ni igice cy’ingenzi cy’indyo yuzuye, haba ku mbuto z’umwimerere cyangwa umutobe uzikomokaho. Muri iyi nkuru, turarebera hamwe neza uburyo oranges zishobora kugirira umubiri akamaro n’impamvu zifatika zo kuzirya kenshi.

Dore ibyiza nyamukuru oranges zigira ku buzima:

1. Zifite vitamin C nyinshi
   Vitamin C ifasha umubiri gukomera no kurinda uturemangingo. Ifasha mu kurwanya indwara z’umubiri zirimo inkorora, ibicurane n’izindi ndwara ziterwa n’ubudahangarwa buke.
2. Zirinda indwara z’umutima
   Oranges zifite utunyabutabire twihariye nka Hesperidin dushobora kugabanya umuvuduko w’amaraso n’uruhurirane rwa cholesterol mbi, bityo zikaba zifasha umutima gukora neza.
3. Zifasha mu kurinda impyiko
   Oranges zirimo Citrate, ifasha impyiko kwirinda kuremamo amabuye. Citrate iri muri Orange ituma hari ibyo impyiko zishobora gusohora neza bidasigaye kugirango bitaba intandaro y’amabuye.
4. Zifasha mu kurwanya indwara y’amaraso make (anemia)
   Nubwo oranges zidafite ibyuma byinshi (fer), vitamin C n’izindi ntungamubiri zazo zituma umubiri ushobora kunyunyuza neza ibyuma (Fer) bivuye mu mafunguro, bityo zigafasha kurwanya amaraso make.
5. Zishobora guteza imbere imikorere y’ubwonko
   Ubushakashatsi bwerekanye ko utunyabutabire dusanzwe muri Oranges dufasha mu kwibuka no gutekereza neza, ndetse tugafasha no kwirinda indwara z’ubwonko zigaragara cyane mu bakuze.

Ese zifitiye buri wese akamaro?

Yego, abantu benshi bashobora kurya oranges nta kibazo. Ariko hari bake bashobora kugira allergy (uburwayi bwo kutihanganira ibiribwa), cyangwa abatabasha kuzirya neza bitewe n’ibibazo byo mu gifu nk’inkari (reflux). Abafata imiti ya pression y’amaraso cyangwa imiti igira aho ihurira na potassium, na bo bagirwa inama yo kugisha inama muganga mbere yo kuzirya kenshi.

Oranges ni imbuto nziza cyane zifasha umubiri wacu kurinda indwara, gutanga ingufu no gutuma umutima, ubwonko n’impyiko bikora neza. Uruhu rwazo (zest) narwo rufite intungamubiri nyinshi, bityo kurwinjiza mu ifunguro bifasha kongera intungamubiri z’umubiri. Ku bantu batagira ikibazo cyazo, ziba igice cyiza cy’indyo yuzuye kandi ifasha ubuzima.
