Kutarya indyo yuzuye ngo ntibiterwa n’ubukene ahubwo ngo biterwa n’ubujiji bukizitiye bamwe mu baturage nk’uko Mukaneza Cecile wo mu murenge wa Gahini mu karere ka Kayonza abivuga. Hari abantu bitwaza ubukene bakicisha abana ba bo indwara ya Bwaki kandi bafite ubushobozi bwo gutegura ifunguro riciriritse rifite intungamubiri zose nk’uko akomeza abivuga.

Na we ubwe ngo ntiyari asobanukiwe n’ibijyanye n’indyo yuzuye. Mbere atarahugurwa n’abajyanama b’ubuzima ku bijyanye no gutegura indyo yuzuye, ngo yumvaga gutegura ifunguro rifite intungamubiri ari iby’abakire gusa.

Agira inama ababyeyi yo gukora akarima k’igikoni kandi bakagahingaho ubwoko bwinshi bw’imboga, kuko zifite intungamubiri nyinshi. Agira ati “Batubwiye ko intungamubiri ziri mu nyama ziboneka no muri Soya. Byumvikane ko uwariye inyama n’uwariye soya baba babonye intungamubiri zimwe kandi kubona soya ntibigoye cyane”

Mu karere ka Kayonza hagaragara abana bafite ibibazo by’imirire mibi. Abo ibyo bibazo bigaragaraho bavuga ko biterwa n’uko imiryango ya bo ikennye itabasha kubona amafunguro arimo intungamubiri.

Umuyobozi w’ikigo nderabuzima cya Mukarange, Chantal Mukanyirigira, asaba abajyanama b’ubuzima gukomeza gukora ubukangurambaga ku babyeyi mu ngo, cyane cyane babashishikariza kugira uturima tw’igikoni mu ngo za bo kuko biri mu byafasha guhangana n’indwara ziterwa n’imirire mibi.

Uko batogosa amagi

Amagi ntagomba kubyiganira mu isafuriya kugira ngo adakomana

akameneka kandi agomba kurengerwa n’amazi

Amagi atogosheje ni ikiribwa gikungahaye kuri protein; ariko usanga hari abantu bigora  kuyatogosa kubera kutamenya uko bikorwa.

Ikigo cy’abanyamerika mu birebana n’amagi American Egg Board, gisobanura ko hari uburyo butatu bukurikira bwo gutegura amagi atogosheje:

1. 1.    Kuyategura ku buryo umuhondo wayo ukomeza koroha
2. 2.    Kuyategura ku buryo umuhondo wayo ukomera buhoro
3. 3.    Kuyategura ku buryo umuhondo wayo ukomera

Dore uko ushobora gutegura amagi bitewe n’uburyo wifuza uko umuhondo w’igi uza kuba woroshye cyangwa ukomeye ukurikije n’ingano y’igi (buri gihe umweru uba ukomeye). Utangira kubara iminota ukimara kuvana amagi yaseruye ku muriro. Iyo uyakuyeho ugomba kuyarekera mu mazi wayatetsemo ukurikije iyi mbonerahamwe:

                                                                        Umuhondo woroshye:

Hari abakunda amagi ateguye ku buryo umuhondo wayo ukomeza koroha ariko umweru ukomeye. Bene ayo magi bayarira mu gakombe gatoya. Ufata icyuma ukaricamo kabiri, ubundi ugakoresha ikiyiko. 

Umuhondo ukomeye buhoro:

 
Amagi ateguye muri ubu buryo usanga umuhondo wayo ukomeye buhoro, umweru wo uba ukomeye buri gihe.

Umuhondo ukomeye:

Amagi ateguye atya usanga umweru n’umuhondo byose bikomeye. Abantu benshi ni yo bakunda. Bene aya magi ntashobora kongera gutogoswa bwa kabili kuko iyo bikozwe usanga ku muhondo w’igi hazaho ibara ryenda gusa n’icyatsi kandi bigatuma proteins zangirika.

Si byiza gutogosa amagi amaze akanya gato atewe kuko aragora kuyatonora. Amagi amaze igihe atewe ni yo meza igihe wifuza atogosheje. Iyo utagiye guhita uyarya, icyo gihe bigusaba kuba ufite frigo kugira ngo atangirika. Amagi atogosheje umuhondo ugakomera ashobora kubikwa muri frigo icyumweru.

One of the cows

In abid to uplift Rwandese out of poverty and to improve on nutrition, FARG on May 17^th 2012 gave 9 cows to the vulnerable genocide survivors from Mukamira and Kintobo sectors

According to Francois Rwamucyo, in charge of social affairs; six cows were given to Mukamira sector while three cows were given to Kintobo.

Beneficiaries were asked to take good care of the cows by keeping them in kraals, feeding them and contacting veterinarians in case they are sick, Rwamucyo says.

Rwamucyo reminded the beneficiaries that they should make cows yield because they have to give cows to their fellow vulnerable genocide survivors.

FARG is a Rwandan government program that supports vulnerable widows and orphans of 1994 Tutsi genocide

Cell leaders of Rusizi district gathered at the district headquarters to sign contracts against poor feeding with the district Mayor, according to the meeting of 19^th March2012.

The signed terms state that by June 2012 no sign of malnutrition should still be available in any part of Rusizi district.

Rusizi district Mayor Oscar Nzeyimana said that “Rusizi district has 1.81% malnourished children. To solve this, all cell leaders should sensitize citizens about good nutrition, proper farming and rearing of animals.”

“There is a great need to achieve the set targets; therefore all stakeholders should get involved in improving nutrition standards of Rwanda’s children.” Add the district mayor

Emmanuel Ndamuzeye a district worker in charge of health, the signed contracts are meant to devise means of eliminating malnutrition once and for all.

Leatitia Uwamariya -leader of Rebero cell in Nzahaha Sector says that in order to fight against malnutrition they have weekly nutrition studies which she says are to be offered 2 times a week.

Following nationwide statistics, Kicukiro district was said to be the district with least number of malnourished children with a 0.66percent however Rubavu district came up with the worst statistics as the district with most malnourished children at about 3percent.

Umurenge wa Gatore mu karere ka Kirehe watangije gahunda y’inkongoro ku mwana mu bigo by’amashuri bigize uyu murenge mu rwego rwo kuba barwanya imirire mibi ku bana. Iyi gahunda  yatangirijwe ku mugaragaro ku kigo cy’amashuri cya Gatore.

Muri iki gikorwa cyatangijwe tariki 01/03/2012 abana bahabwa amata. Iki gikorwa kizajya  gikorwa buri wa kane wa buri cyumweru; nk’uko bitangazwa n’ umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’uyu murenge Consolée Kanzayire.

Umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa avuga ko gahunda yo guha abana amata buri wa kane wa buri cyumweru izaborohera kuko amata aboneka muri uwo murenge.

Dans son programme de dénouer le problème lié a la sous alimentation, le district de Rusizi a mis sur pied un programme de traite des vaches pour les enfants. Ainsi les ménages possédant des vaches  pourront donner du lait aux enfants des familles qui n’en disposent pas.

La vice maire du district chargée des affaires sociales, Nirere Francoise, déclare que ce programme a le but de résoudre les problèmes de la sous alimentation qui engendrent des maladies.

Madame Nirere ajoute : « Dans chaque cellule, ce programme est envisagé chaque semaine où les familles ayant des vaches pourront offrir du lait aux enfants des ménages qui ne possèdent pas des vaches. Et ceci dans le but de mettre fin aux maladies liées à la sous alimentation ».

Au cours de la réunion qui s’est tenue ce 27 février 2012 réunissant les différents responsables des centres de santé et de nutrition, les autorités chargées des affaires sociales dans les secteurs, les délégués des animateurs de santé dans les centres de santé et le responsable de la nutrition dans l’hôpital du district de Rusizi, une décision unanime a été prise pour que les efforts soient consentis pour résoudre ce problème. Ainsi des écoles de nutrition seront instaurées dans chaque cellule pour aider les parents d’enfants à préparer des aliments équilibrés.

Niyigarura Pelouse, une conseillère dans le secteur de Bweyeye  affirme que des cas de sous alimentation subsistent encore dans cette région. «  Si nous comparons les données que nous avons, sur 2481 enfants que nous avons examiné au début de cette année, 56 enfants présentent des symptômes de sous alimentation » a-t-elle ajoutée.

Les causes de ce problème sont l’extrême pauvreté des parents et d’autres qui n’ont pas ces notions de préparation  des aliments équilibrées et riches en calories.

Most Rwandans take papaya fruits for digestion purposes, but the humble fruit is gaining credibility in Western medicine for anticancer powers that folk cultures have recognized for generations.

Dr Nam Dang and other researchers from the University of Florida have documented papaya’s dramatic anticancer effect against a broad range of lab-grown tumors, including cancers of the cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreas. The researchers used an extract made from dried papaya leaves, and the anticancer effects were stronger when cells received larger doses of the tea.

Dang and his colleagues also documented that papaya leaf extract boosts the production of key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines. This regulation of the immune system, in addition to papaya’s direct antitumor effect on various cancers, suggests possible therapeutic strategies that use the immune system to fight cancers.

Kigali University Central Hospital nutritionist Uwiragiye Joseph demonstrated that papaya fruit posses a lot of calcium for strong bones, it contributes to healthy skin pores and supports in blood circulation.

Papaya is therefore one of the most recommended fruits for a sound health and must be eaten fresh at least after meals.

Speaking at a workshop for health advisors from Ngororero district, the Vice mayor in charge of social welfare Nyiraneza Clothilde reminded them their role in promoting cooperatives and protect their interests as they are part and parcel of the society. The vice mayor also asked them to practice what they preach and said: “You must teach but also put into practice your advices particularly with regard to the fight against malnutrition”

One health advisor Mudahunga J. Baptiste who took part in the workshop commended the lessons he learnt urging men to participate in domestic activities, which are usually referred to as feminine chores such as cooking, washing clothes, bathing children and home cleaning.

Nyirasinamenye Jeanne in charge of balanced diet at muhororo hospital criticized men who refuse to take part in such trainings yet they are vital for family progress.

Since august 2011 in Ngororero district statistics revealed that 975 children had malnutrition related problems, but today with ongoing training and awareness campaigns, the number has reduced to 653 children.

Abagororwa bahishije ibigori

Abaturage bo mu karere ka Nyamagabe batangaza ko ibigori cyimaze kubageza kuri byinshi kuko ari ikiribwa kifashishwa ahantu hose nko mu mashuri, mu magereza n’ahandi ku buryo nta nzara ikiharangwa.

Iyo ugeze mu isoko ry’ibiribwa muri aka karere usanga abantu bashishikajwe no guhaha ibigori byaba ibyumye cyangwa ibibisi; bavuga ko ikigoro cyabakijije inzara.

Mukeshimana Immaculée wari umaze kugura ibigori mu isoko rya Nyamagabe, tariki 27/01/2012, yagize ati “ubu ndafata ibiro bike mbisheshe abana bajye banywemo agakoma, ibindi njye mbiteka mbivanze n’ibishyimbo babirye”.

Nzeyimana Eric avuga ko aka karere kari karibasiwe n’inzara ariko ubu aho Leta yabashishikarije abaturage guhinga ibigori ikitwa inzara ntikikiharangwa.

Igihingwa cy’ibigori kuri ubu ugisanga ahantu henshi cyane cyane muri za gereza n’amashuri yisumbuye. Kubatabasha kurya impungure barashesha bakarikamo umutsima.

Abagororwa n’abakora imirimo nsimburagifungo ifitiye igihugu akamaro “TIG” bavuga ko ikigori ari ingirakamaro kuko kibongerera imbaraga mu kazi kabo. Aborozi nabo ibigori bituma bashobora kubona ibiribwa by’amatungo yabo.

Imbuto n’imboga ni bimwe mu by’ingenzi buri muntu wese agomba gufata mu rwego rwo kurinda umubiri we kuba wafatwa n’indwara uko wiboneye. Nk’uko tubikesha igitabo “guide des aliments et leurs pouvoirs curatifs” cyanditswe na Georges Pamplona, imboga n’imbuto ni bimwe mu by’ingenzi ndetse by’ibanze umubiri ukenera.

Mu mboga n’imbutongo birinda indwara  z’amaso n’amenyo ziterwa no kubura vitamine A na C. Byongeye kandi imboga zirwanya indwara yo kubura amaraso ahagije, iterwa no kubura umunyu witwa Fer (anémie nutritionnelle) mu biribwa bya buri munsi, cyane cyane mu bantu badakoresha kenshi ibiribwa bikomoka ku nyamaswa kubera amikoro macye.

Kubera ko vitamin C ishonga mu mazi, itinya ubushyuhe kandi ikononekara mu mwuka usanzwe, ni byiza kuronga imboga mbere yo kuziteka, kuzibika ahakonje, kuziteka igihe gito kandi mu mazi aringaniye kugira ngo zidatakaza vitamini C nyinshi igihe bazitegura.

Ubundi mu mubiri ngo haba hakenewe cyane imboga  zigitoshye ni ukuvuga izitaruma cyangwa ngo zirabe muri make zigifite itoto n’ibara ryazo mwimereri. Izo mboga zituma indwara nk’umutima, Kanseri n’izindi zidapfa kwibasira umubiri w’umuntu byoroshye.

Imboga ziboneka cyane mu Rwanda zakwifashishwa ni nka Karoti, inyanya, pavuro, imboga za dodo, n’izindi. Nk’uko bigaragazwa n’ubushakashatsi bwakorewe mu gihugu cy’Ubufaransa mu mwaka wa 2000,umuntu ukunda gukoresha imbuto n’imboga cyane bituma agira ubwirinzi bw’indwara ya Kanseri kuri 25%. Ni ukuvuga ko kurya imbuto n’imboga bituma umubiri w’uziriye ubasha kugira ubudahangarwa bwo guhangana n’indwara zitandukanye.

Imboga n’imbuto kandi zituma Acide Desoxyribo Nucleique”ADN” yikora mu mubiri nta mbogamizi, bigatuma umubiri udasaza imbura gihe. Imboga kandi zigirira akamaro imyakura, imyanya y’ubuhumekero ndetse n’urwungano rw’amaraso.

Mu Rwanda Abanyarwanda bararushijeho gukangurirwa gukoresha imbuto n’imboga mu mirire yabo cyane cyane guhera mu mwaka wa 2001. Ibyo byaterwaga nuko wasangaga benshi mu baturage bafata imboga n’imbuto nkaho ari ibiryo by’abana cyangwa abagore batwite.

Iyo myumvire yari ipfuye kuko nta mubiri w’umuntu n’umwe udakenera Vitamine zituruka mu mboga n’imbuto. Mu rwego rwo guteza imbere gahunda yo gushishikariza abantu gufata gahunda y’indyo yuzuye ku bigo nderabuzima bigisha ababyeyi guteka indyo yuzuye ndetse na buri rugo mu midugudu rugomba kugira akarima k’igikoni karimo imboga zitandukanye.
