Nakuba i-inthanethi ivumela ukushintshaniswa kolwazi nolwazi ngesivinini sombani, iphinde yabangela ukulahlwa kolwazi - ngokuningi okwabiwe kungenakuqinisekiswa futhi kuvame ukudukisa. Ngakho-ke, kungase kube nzima ukuhlunga amaqiniso enganekwaneni. Futhi esinye isimangalo esinjalo simayelana nezibuko zelanga eziyimbangela yalokho ukushiswa yilanga.

Kuvidiyo engaqinisekisiwe, owesifazane angabonakala ethi, “Izibuko azilungile emehlweni. Echaza iphuzu lakhe waqhubeka, “Uyabona, amehlo akho ayisandiso sobuchopho bakho. Uma siphumela ngaphandle ngosuku olushisayo libalele, amandla elanga abhekwe ngamehlo abomvu futhi umyalezo uthunyelwa ebuchosheni, okunikeza umlayezo esikhumbeni sokuvala izingosi ezincane zama-receptors - ukuze ungashi kalula. Kodwa uma uphuma elangeni elishisayo nezibuko zelanga ungasha kalula ngoba yakho Ubuchopho awutholanga umyalezo wokuthi ilanga liyashisa ukuvala izingosi zokwamukela izivakashi.” Nokho, wengeza ngokuthi kulungile ukugqoka izibuko zelanga uma ushayela noma ushushuluza, njengoba ukucwazimula kwelanga kungaba yingozi emehlweni.

Kodwa, akuyena yedwa. Eminye imithombo ehlukahlukene engaqinisekiswanga ku-inthanethi ithi izibuko zelanga zingaholela ekushisweni yilanga njengokuthi “i-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) - esiza ukuvikela isikhumba emisebeni ye-UV - ayikhululwa uma ugqoke izibuko zelanga” futhi esikhundleni sokushukwa, “isikhumba sakho singashiswa yilanga”. Ukuze sithole ukuthi ingabe likhona yini iqiniso ngesimangalo, sifinyelele kuchwepheshe.

Ingabe izibuko zelanga empeleni zingabangela ukushiswa yilanga?

Cha, izibuko zelanga azibangeli ukushiswa yilanga. Ekhuluma no indianexpress.com, uDkt Deepti Mehta, Umeluleki – Odokotela Bamehlo, Izibhedlela ze-CARE, i-Hi-Tec City, Hyderabad yathi, “Kuyinganekwane ukuthi ukugqoka izibuko zelanga kungabangela ukushiswa yilanga; lokhu akusekelwa yinoma yibuphi ubufakazi besayensi”.

Wengeze ngokuthi nakuba kuyiqiniso ukuthi ukugqoka izibuko zelanga kungase kunikeze umthunzi esikhumbeni esiseduze kwamehlo, kuvimbele ukuchayeka emisebeni yelanga, lokhu kukodwa akukuvimbeli ukukhiqizwa kwe-melanin. “I-Melanin ukukhiqizwa kulawulwa ngokuyinhloko yizici zofuzo kanye nokuchayeka kwe-UV, kunokuba kube khona noma ukungabikho kwezibuko zelanga,” kugcizelela yena.

Ungakugwema kanjani ukushiswa yilanga?

UDkt Mehta wabelane ngezinyathelo ezilandelayo ukugwema ukushiswa yilanga. Kunjalo:

Faka i-sunscreen: Sebenzisa isikrini selanga esine-spectrum esibanzi esinezinga eliphezulu isici sokuvikela ilanga ezindaweni ezisobala zesikhumba, okuhlanganisa ubuso nomzimba. Gcoba futhi i-sunscreen njalo, ikakhulukazi ngemva kokubhukuda noma ukujuluka.

Funa umthunzi: Uma ilanga liqine kakhulu, ngokuvamile phakathi kuka-10 ekuseni no-4 ntambama, zama ukuhlala ezindaweni ezinomthunzi noma usebenzise izambulela noma ama-canopies ukuze unciphise ukuchayeka elangeni okuqondile.

Gqoka izingubo zokuzivikela: Gcoba isikhumba sakho ngezingubo, njengezigqoko, amahembe anemikhono emide, namabhulukwe, ukuze unikeze isivikelo esingokwenyama esengeziwe emisebeni ye-UV.

Sebenzisa izibuko zelanga ezinokuvikelwa kwe-UV: Khetha izibuko zelanga ezinikeza ukuvikelwa okungu-100% kwe-UV ukuvikela amehlo akho emisebeni ye-UV eyingozi.

Ingabe kufanele ugqoke izibuko zelanga?

Nakanjani. Izibuko zelanga zidlala indima ebalulekile ekuvikeleni amehlo emisebeni ye-UV eyingozi kanye nokwenza ngcono ukubonakala phakathi nemisebenzi ngaphansi kwelanga, njengokushayela. Ngezansi kukhona izincomo zokugcina impilo yamehlo kanye nokuphepha kwelanga kukonke nguDkt Mehta:

Khetha izibuko zelanga ezinokuvikelwa kwe-UV: Bheka izibuko zelanga ezinikeza isivikelo esingu-100% kuyo yomibili imisebe ye-UVA ne-UVB. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi amehlo akho avikelekile emiphumeleni elimazayo yemisebe ye-UV.

Khetha amalensi agqamile: Amalensi agqamile awavikeli emisebeni ye-UV kuphela kodwa futhi anciphisa ukuxhopha, okungathuthukisa ukubonakala futhi enze imisebenzi efana nokushayela noma ukuba ngaphandle ibe ntofontofo kakhudlwana.

Gqoka izibuko zelanga njalo: Kwenze umkhuba ukugqoka izibuko zelanga noma nini lapho uchayeka elangeni, ikakhulukazi phakathi namahora aphakeme e-UV (ngokuvamile phakathi kuka-10 ekuseni no-4 ntambama). Ngisho nangezinsuku eziguqubele, imisebe ye-UV isengangena ngamafu futhi ifinyelele emehlweni akho.

Hlanganisa izibuko zelanga nezinye izindlela zokuvikela ilanga: Nakuba izibuko zelanga zibalulekile ekuvikeleni amehlo, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi azihlinzeki ngokuphelele isikhumba esizungeze amehlo. Ukuze uvikele isikhumba sakho ekushisweni yilanga nokunye ukulimala kwe-UV, gcoba i-sunscreen ezindaweni ezisobala, gqoka isigqoko esinomphetho obanzi ukuze umthunzi ubuso bakho, futhi ucabange ukusebenzisa izingubo zokuzivikela.

Xhumana nochwepheshe wokunakekelwa kwamehlo: Ukuhlolwa kwamehlo okuvamile kubalulekile ukuqapha impilo yamehlo nokuqinisekisa ukubona kahle. Uchwepheshe wokunakekelwa kwamehlo anganikeza izincomo zomuntu siqu zezibuko zelanga ngokusekelwe ezidingweni zakho ezithile nanoma yiziphi izimo zamehlo ezikhona.

Ngokuhlanganisa ukusetshenziswa kwezibuko zelanga nezinye izindlela zokuvikela ilanga, ungavikela ngokuphumelelayo amehlo akho nesikhumba emiphumeleni eyingozi yemisebe ye-UV. Ukubeka phambili ukuphepha kwelanga kubalulekile ekugcineni impilo enhle yamehlo kanye nempilo yonke.
