MENJALANI KEHIDUPAN DENGAN MINDA YANG SIHAT

Dalam meniti arus kemodenan yang berteraskan sains dan teknologi maklumat, faktor kesihatan masyarakat pada hari ini berada pada tahap yang membimbangkan pihak berkuasa terutamanya Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Semakin hari, masalah wabak pelbagai penyakit semakin menjalar dalam kalangan masyarakat tanpa mengira usia tua atau muda. Jika dahulu masalah darah tinggi dan kencing manis merupakan penyakit yang sering dihadapi oleh golongan tua tetapi pada hari ini golongan kanak-kanak juga sering dihantui penyakit berkenaan. Mengikut statistik yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia pada tahun 2011, angka pesakit yang menghadapi masalah kesihatan telah meningkat sebanyak 200 000 orang pesakit melebihi bilangan pesakit pada tahun sebelumnya. Sebenarnya masalah kesihatan masyarakat mampu diatasi dengan pelbagai cara terutamanya dengan kemudahan prasarana berkaitan kesihatan semakin banyak disediakan oleh pihak kerajaan. Klinik desa, Klinik 1 Malaysia, Hospital Desa, Hospital Besar merupakan tempat masyarakat mendapat kemudahan rawatan kesihatan. Persoalannya, mengapakah kadar pertambahan bilangan pesakit yang tidak mengenal usia berlaku pada zaman sekarang? Bak kata pepatah, setiap penyakit ada ubatnya, setiap masalah pasti ada jalan keluarnya. Salah satu daripadanya adalah dengan mengamalkan gaya hidup sihat sebagaimana yang disarankan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Bagaimanakah caranya untuk kita mengamalkan gaya hidup sihat?

Gaya hidup sihat bolehlah ditakrifkan sebagai satu amalan kehidupan yang membawa impak positif kepada diri seseorang, keluarganya dan masyarakat. Antara contoh kehidupan yang sihat ialah individu tersebut hidup dengan penuh ceria tanpa mengalami sebarang masalah yang boleh menjejaskan kehidupannya untuk satu tempoh tertentu pula. Sudah pasti dalam kehidupan era moden yang begitu banyak tekanan ini gaya hidup sihat menjadi satu matlamat yang perlu dicapai segera. Oleh itu, terdapat pelbagai tindakan yang boleh dilakukan untuk mencapai matlamat ini.

Tindakan awal ialah seseorang itu perlu mengamalkan satu bentuk pemakanan yang seimbang dalam kehidupannya. Dalam keadaan kehidupan sebenar, orang ramai lebih suka mengambil makanan yang bersifat mudah seperti mengamalkan pengambilan makanan ringan ataupun makanan segera. Tidak kurang juga masyarakan kita hari ini yang lupa kesan pengambilan makanan berlemak ataupun makanan yang mempunyai kandungan garam, gula atau sodium glutamit yang tinggi. Hal ini boleh mendatangkan pelbagai penyakit kronik seperti sakit jantung, darah tinggi ataupun kencing manis yang juga menjadi punca kematian tertinggi di negara kita. Orang ramai juga mesti menjauhi amalan buruk seperti merokok atau meminum arak kerana kesannya amat membahayakan.Hal ini kerana pengambilan makanan seimbang bermaksud pengambilan makanan oleh seseorang individu yang mengandungi semua nutrien dan vitamin yang diperlukan oleh tubuh badan secara seimbang. Jika kita merujuk piramid makanan, pembahagian pemakanan terbahagi kepada beberapa bahagian mengikut keperluan makanan berdasarkan seorang manusia normal. Bahagian bawah piramid makanan merupakan

kumpulan makanan mengandungi karbohidrat, diikuti dengan kumpulan makanan yang mengandungi vitamin, mineral, dan serat, seterusnya kumpulan makanan yang mengandungi protin, dan terakhir bahagian atas ialah kumpulan makanan mengandungi lemak. Piramid makanan juga merupakan panduan kepada pengguna dengan mengurangkan pengambilan makanan berlemak di bahagian atas sekali, seperti lemak dan gula,. Oleh sebab itu, makanan berlemak hanya perlu kita ambil dalam kuantiti sedikit. Berbanding kandungan karbohidrat perlu diambil dalam kuantiti yang banyak kerana makanan seperti ini membekalkan kita tenaga untuk menjalani kehidupan seharian, contohnya nasi, roti, dan bijirin Jelaslah, diet yang seimbang membolehkan kita semua mencapai kehidupan yang ceria kerana semua nutrien yang diperlukan oleh badan diperoleh menerusi pemakanan yang seimbang.

Seterusnya, aktiviti senaman atau beriadah yang berkala mampu menjadikan kehidupan yang dijalani oleh seseorang itu lebih sihat dan menceriakan. Kita boleh menjalankan aktiviti seperti bersukan, berekreasi, berjalan atau berlari bersendirian atau bersama-sama keluarga ketika hujung minggu. Aktiviti senaman seperti ini diakui oleh pakar perubatan mampu menjadikan sistem peredaran darah manusia lebih baik serta menjadikan sistem imunisasi mereka tinggi. Pada abad milenium ini, banyak tempat rekreasi, sama ada bertemakan air, alam sekitar dan sebagainya. Dengan adanya pusat rekreasi, anak muda atau remaja boleh menyertai aktiviti berkenaan dengan mandaftar diri dan menyertai program yang dianjurkan seperti kursus berkayak, mendaki gunung, , menyelam, "jungle tracking" dan sebagainya. Bagaimana kegiatan rekreasi ini dapat menyihatkan tubuh badan? Aktiviti rekreasi merupakan aktiviti mencabar. Sebelum melakukan aktiviti berkenaan, peserta selalunya diminta untuk melakukan aktiviti regangan agar seluruh sendi dan sistem kardivaskular kita bersedia terlebih dahulu sebelum melakukan aktiviti berkenaan. Bahkan juga, dengan adanya aktiviti regangan dan pemanasan badan, kadar pengaliran darah dan pergerakan jantung akan stabil sebelum peserta melakukan aktiviti yang berat. Selain itu, kelenjar endokrin dan kelenjar adrenalina akan merembeskan peluh yang mengandungi toksin untuk disingkirkan daripada badan. Oleh sebab itu, badan kita akan menjadi sihat dan sukar untuk dijangkiti patogen-patogen penyakit. Kebiasaanya, seorang fasiltator akan memberi penerangan kepentingan melakukan regangan dan peringatan mengenai langkah-langkah menjaga keselamatan sepanjang program rekreasi diadakan untuk mengelak sebarang kemalangan atau kecederaan.Mereka yang gemar bersukan biasanya memiliki badan yang sihat dan minda yang cerdas berbanding dengan orang yang jarang bersukan. Jelasnya, semakin kerap senaman dilakukan maka semakin tinggilah tahap kesihatan seseorang itu kerana minda yang cerdas datangnya daripada badan yang cergas.

Orang ramai juga perlu mengutamakan kebersihan diri pada setiap masa bagi memastikan mereka terhindar daripada sebarang penyakit. Keperluan asas seperti menggosok gigi, mandi, berpakaian bersih, waktu tidur dan rehat yang cukup juga perlu dijadikan amalan hidup seharian. Bagi mengelakkan jangkitan kuman atau penyakit, mereka juga perlulah mengamalkan budaya mendisiplinkan diri dengan asas-asas kebersihan seperti mencuci tangan dengan bersih sebelum makan, menutup makanan dengan baik agar tidak diharung lalat mahupun memilih gerai atau tempat makan yang bersih semasa menjamu selera. Sikap sambil lewa masyarakat dalam aspek berkenaan mungkin boleh membawa padah. Justeru,

amalan sebegini harus diutamakan agar dapat membentuk gaya hidup yang sihat dalam kalangan masyarakat.

Pada masa yang sama selain mengutamakan kesihatan diri dan makanan, masyarakat juga perlu menjaga kebersihan persekitaran mereka. Persekitaran yang bersih perlu dijadikan amalan dan gaya hidup agar kita terhindar daripada sebarang penyakit. Umpamanya, orang ramai digalakkan mengadakan gotong-royong untuk membersihkan kawasan taman perumahan dengan membersihkan sampah-sarap atau memastikan kawasan persekitaran mereka sentiasa bersih. Amalan seperti ini dapat mengelakkan pembiakan agen-agen pembawa penyakit seperti nyamuk, lipas, lalat dan sebagainya. Tempat-tempat pembiakan nyamuk di dalam atau di luar rumah seperti pelapik pasu bunga ataupun tempat takungan air mestilah kerap dibersihkan ataupun ditukar. Dengan cara demikian, orang ramai akan dapat menjauhkan diri mereka daripada pelbagai penyakit serta membentuk kehidupan yang sihat.

Gaya hidup yang sihat juga melibatkan aspek psikologi dan sosial seseorang itu. Mereka yang lebih terbuka dan bersedia untuk berkongsi masalah dengan orang lain didapati lebih bermakna kehidupannya berbanding dengan individu yang suka bersendirian atau menyimpan masalah mereka. Sikap berkawan dan menghabiskan masa bersama-sama mereka menjadikan keperluan psikologi manusia dipenuhi dengan efektif. Masyarakat digalakkan menjalin hubungan komunikasi yang mesra bersama-sama rakan atau jiran tetangga. Hubungan baik yang berkekalan biasanya dapat melahirkan satu bentuk kehidupan yang ceria dan menggembirakan. Sesungguhnya, aspek psikologi dan sosial manusia perlu dipenuhi bagi memperoleh gaya hidup yang sihat ini.

Pada masa yang sama sikap atau mentaliti positif penting untuk dimiliki oleh seseorang itu bagi menangani tekanan kehidupan dalam era moden ini. Pemikiran yang positif menjadikan seseorang itu mampu menyelesaikan pelbagai kemelut yang melanda kehidupannya dengan baik tanpa tertekan. Kehidupan zaman moden yang penuh cabaran terutama tekanan di pejabat memerlukan satu persepsi positif daripada ahli masyarakat kita. Kepada mereka yang menghadapi tekanan hidup, mereka mungkin boleh mendapatkan bantuan daripada pakar motivasi ataupun rakan-taulan di sekeliling mereka. Hal ini perlu kerana tekanan yang dialami boleh menjuruskan seseorang pada perlakuan negatif seperti mendera, menagih dadah atau melakukan sesuatu perkara di luar jangkaan. Jadi, semakin positif minda seseorang itu maka semakin tinggilah gaya hidup sihat yang mampu dicapainya kelak.

Kesimpulannya, gaya hidup yang sihat ini boleh diperoleh menerusi semua amalan yang dipaparkan

tadi. Gaya hidup sihat hanya boleh dicapai sekiranya masyarakat mengamalkan semua aspek kehidupan

berlandaskan ciri-ciri manusia sihat. Cuma sikap masyarakat yang masih memandang rendah

kepentingan gaya hidup sebeginilah yang menyebabkan pelbagai masalah kesihatan timbul kelak. Kita

semua perlulah memahami bahawa mencegah lebih baik daripada mengubatinya.
