Rangi ya kucha unayopendelea na inavyosema kukuhusu
FASHONI JE, unafahamu kuwa rangi unayopendelea kurembesha kucha zako ina maana zaidi? Wataalam wa urembo wanasema rangi ya kucha unayoteua inaweza kufichua jambo tofauti kabisa kukuhusu kama mtu binafsi. Kuanzia kujiamini, ukakamavu, ubunifu, kujituma, kuwa na mtazamo chanya kuhusu maisha na unavyochukulia mahusiano, ni baadhi ya sifa zinazodokezwa na uteuzi wa rangi unayopendelea kutia nakshi kucha zako. Iwapo wewe ni mraibu wa kufuga na kurembesha kucha zako za miguu na mikono, bila shaka kuna rangi mbili au tatu unazoteua kirahisi hata bila ya kuwaza sana ambazo unaamini hukupa matokeo bora kila wakati. Mtaalam wa Urembo wa Kucha Joy Verm anaeleza kuwa "rangi ile ile, msimu baada ya msimu, inayochaguliwa hata bila kufikiria sana kwa sababu tu za urembo." Kulingana na naye, "saikolojia inayohusu rangi ya kucha inaashiria mambo tofauti kabisa." Tafiti zinaashiria mfumo unaoelekeza chaguo hizo ambao kiini chake sio sifa ya mtu binafsi bali jinsi ubongo unavyotafsiri rangi katika kiwango husika hata kabla ya kufahamu rangi unayoipendelea. Saikolojia ya rangi ya kucha hutumia kanuni ya saikolojia ya rangi kanuni inayochanganua jinsi rangi tofauti huathiri hisia, fikra na tabia ikiwemo teuzi maamuzi mahsusi ya watu wanapochagua rangi za kurembesha kucha zao. Rangi ya kucha hukaa machoni pako siku kutwa. Unaona mikono yako kila wakati iwe unapokula, kuzungumza, kuoga, kuandika, au kupiga chapa. Hali hiyo ina maana kuwa rangi unayoteua katika kituo cha urembo inasheheni aina fulani ya athari endelevu kwa hali ya hisia zako mchana kutwa. Leo hii tutajifahamisha kuhusu rangi unayoipendelea na inavyosema kukuhusu. Pinki au nude Aghalabu hupuuzwa kama "chaguo salama." Hata hivyo huashiria mambo tofauti kabisa. Pinki inaashiria kutangamana kirahisi, uwazi kijamii na ukarimu. Pinki iliyokolea (fucschia, magenta) - uchangamfu, uwezo wa kufanya maamuzi thabiti, na mamlaka legevu. Nude - inaashiria "kupuuzwa kimaksudi, kutulia, kujishughulisha na nafsi yako na kukosa hamu ya kelele za mwonekano. Katika tasnia za taaluma, inaonyesha ustaarabu badala ya kukosa kuonekana. Bluu, samawati au nili Inaashiria utulivu, uthabiti kihisia na kupendelea uelewa wa kina badala ya maonyesho na kujishaua. Inahusishwa na uaminifu na weledi ndiposa imebobea katika tasnia za kitaaluma. Samawati inaegemea uwazi na kutangamana kirahisi huku bluu iliyokolea ikionyesha maarifa na kujiamini kisanaa. Nyeusi Uhuru, kujiamini kiubunifu na kustahimili kutoeleweka. Ukiwa unapenda rangi hii, inaashiria kuwa unathamini uhuru kisaikolojia na tafsiri yako binafsi kuhusu kinachofaa badala ya kufuata tu matarajio au itikadi zilizopo. Nyekundu Inahusishwa na ujasiri, kupenda kuangaziwa, uchangamfu, mshawasha, nguvu na kujiamini Wanaopenda kujitokeza kwa kishindo, hawaogopi kujihatarisha. Rangi mseto (dopamine) Huundwa kwa nia ya kuibua hisia chanya. Mseto wa hot pink, rangi ya machungwa na manjano iliyokolea unahusishwa na viwango vya huu vya kuboresha hisia. Huonyesha furaha, matumaini na kujiamini. Badala ya kuashiria si moja thabiti, kucha zilizopakwa mseto wa rangi zinaashiria kupenda aina anuai, kushtukizia, na kufanya mambo kwa mtindo wako,

Umuhimu wa lishebora kwa wanawake wajawazito, utafiti
UJAUZITO NA UZAZI WANAWAKE wenye mimba wanashauriwa kuzingatia lishe bora na salama kiafya ikiwemo kula aina tofauti za samaki (seafood) mara kwa mara ili kuzuia baadhi ya matatizo sugu yanayowaathiri watoto wachanga. Utafiti mpya umehusisha chango (colic) na eczema, matatizo yanayoathiri watoto wachanga, na chakula anachokula mwanamke mjamzito kabla ya kujifungua. Watoto wachanga waliozaliwa na kina mama waliozingatia lishe bora kiafya, wana kiwango cha chini cha tishio la kuugua chango na eczema, kulingana na wataalam. Aidha, utafiti huo uliashiria ulaji wa seafood mara kwa mara kwa wanawake wajawazito husaidia kupunguza tishio la watoto wachanga la kuathiriwa na matatizo haya. Tafiti za awali zimeonyesha kuwa watoto wanaoathiriwa na chango wana uwezekano mkubwa wa kuugua matatizo sugu kiafya baadaye maishani ikiwemo mzio wa chakula, mzio wa pua na ugonjwa wa pumu. Katika utafiti mpya ambao ni wa kwanza kuchunguza uhusiano huu, wanasayansi walitathmini jjinsi lishe wakati wa ujauzito inavyoweza kuchangia chango, na hususan mseto wa chango na eczema. Professor wa Matibabu ya Watoto katika Chuo cha Harvard Medical School, Jenifer Lightdale, anafafanua kuwa watoto wachanga wanaoathiriwa na mchanganyiko wa chango na eczema wana tishio la juu zaidi la kukumbwa na maradhi ya mzio wanapokua. Wanawake wajawazito zaidi ya 1,300 walishirikishwa katika utafiti huu ambapo lishebora kiafya ilijumuisha ulaji kwa wingi wa matunda, mboga, nafaka isiyosafishwa, maharage, viwango vya chini vya mafuta, protini na maziwa. Vyakula vya nyama nyekundu au iliyopakiwa, vinywaji vilivyoongezwa sukari, chumvi na nafaka iliyosafishwa vilijumuisha lishe duni kiafya. Washiriki pia waliripoti kuhusu ulaji wa vyakula vinavyofahamika kuchochea mzio ikiwemo njugu karanga, samli ya njugu karanga, mayai, maziwa, samaki wenye mapezi na wasio nayo. "Matokeo yetu yanatoa sababu nyingine ya kusaidia wanawake wenye mimba kufanikisha lishe bora inayowiana kiafya, hasa kusisitiza ulaji wa seafood," alisema kiongozi wa utafiti Emily Oken. Alifafanua kuwa, ingawa kina mama hutamani kufanya kila wawezalo kwa manufaa ya watoto wao wachanga, aghalabu hukumbana na vizingiti kifedha na vinginevyo katika juhudi za kupata lishebora kiafya.

Ni fumbo jinsi penzi hugeuka shubiri, wengine wakiishia kuangamizana!
FATAKI MPAKA kati ya mapenzi na chuki ni finyu sana. Mtu anayempenda mwingine sana na kuwa radhi kumfanyia lolote hata 'kumpa maisha yake,' ndiye yuleyule anayeweza kumchukia mwenzake kwa ari na hamasa sawia kiasi cha kumfanyia maovu yasiyoelezeka. Matukio yanayoshuhudiwa katika miaka ya karibuni kuhusu wanandoa na wapenzi waliopendana na kuendana kama pacha wa toke nitoke kabla ya kuchukiana, kutendeana uhayawani zaidi ya wanyama wenyewe, ni ithbati tosha. Uhalisia huu unasisitiza haja ya kuhakikisha kuwa, iwapo ni lazima uwe na mpenzi au kufunga ndoa, unafanya hivyo na mtu mkarimu, mwenye maadili na utu! Iwe ni mwanamke au mwanamme, umuhimu wa kuwa na uhusiano wa kimapenzi au kufunga ndoa na mtu anayekuthamini kwanza kama binadamu mwenye fikra zake razini na hisia, mwenye moyo wa huruma na msingi wa kimaadili au imani inayojikita kwenye kumwogopa Rabuka, hauwezi ukasisitizwa vya kutosha. Sifa hizi zitakufaa mno wewe binafsi pamoja na mwenzako baadaye wakati kwa bahati mbaya, au nzuri, msisimko wa mapenzi utadidimia, ashiki kufifia na macho kufunguka na kukabiliana ana kwa ana na uhalisia wa mtu unayeishi au kuchumbiana naye. Hakuna anayeingia kwenye mahusiano ya kimapenzi au kwenye ndoa akiwa na matumaini kwamba haitadumu. Wengi huwa na taswira ya jinsi watakavyoishi pamoja kwa furaha hadi uzeeni wao bila kutarajia kwamba mahusiano yao yatasambaratika. Si ajabu kuwa ndoa huitwa kufunga pingu za maisha baada ya kulishana kiapo cha kuwa pamoja hadi wote au mmoja wao atakapomuaga mwenzake buriani. Hata hivyo, mambo ni kangaja huenda yakaja na wakati mwingine, uchumba au ndoa husambaratika na wapenzi au wanandoa walioshibana wakakinaiana na kuchukiana vibaya. Hapo ndipo baadhi ya wahasiriwa, katika juhudi za kulipiza kisasi au kuponza machungu kwa usaliti, kutemwa, huanza kumwaga mtama kuhusu mambo yao ya siri huku umma ukilazimishwa kutazama kwa mshangao sinema wasiofahamu ndewe wala sikio. Ni katika kipindi hiki ambapo sifa za utu, huruma, na maadili huchangia pakubwa kumwezesha mtu binafsi kujizuia kumdhalilisha mwenzake baada ya mahusiano kuvunjika.
