Ushokoledi omnyama ubelokhu enendawo ekhethekile ezindaweni zokugcina ukudla zalabo abafuna ukudla okumnandi okungaba kuhle kuwe iminyaka eminingi. Kodwa kuyiqiniso kangakanani ukuthi lokhu kudla kunemiphumela emihle empilweni? Ochwepheshe abaningana bezokudla kanye nezifo zenhliziyo bayavuma ukuthi i-cocoa emsulwa, enephesenti eliphezulu likashokoledi omnyama, iqukethe izinto eziwusizo emzimbeni, yize bexwayisa nangokuthi akuzona zonke izinto ezidalwe zilingana nokuthi izinzuzo zayo akufanele zididaniswe nokwelashwa.
Isihluthulelo sisekuhlanganisweni. I-cocoa inikeza ama-flavonoid, i-magnesium, i-tryptophan, kanye nento engaziwa kakhulu ebizwa ngokuthi i-theobromine. Lezi zakhi ziye zahlotshaniswa nokujikeleza kwegazi okuthuthukisiwe, ukugxilisa ingqondo, kanye nenhlalakahle engokomzwelo , kodwa kuphela uma kusetshenziswa umkhiqizo onephesenti eliphezulu le-cocoa kanye nokuqukethwe okuphansi koshukela. Ochwepheshe ababonisane nabo bagcizelela ukuthi umehluko phakathi kwebha yetshokolethi eyodwa nenye mkhulu kakhulu.
Yini eyenza i-cocoa ibe ekhethekile?
Usokhemisi kanye nosokhemisi uPaula MartÃn Clares, umbhali wencwadi ethi 'Your Brain Eats Too', uchaza ukuthi i-cocoa emsulwa iqukethe ama-flavonoid, ama-antioxidants athuthukisa ukugeleza kwegazi ebuchosheni futhi avikele ama-neurons ekucindezelekeni kwe-oxidative. Iphinde inikeze i-magnesium, isihluthulelo sokuphumula kwemisipha kanye nokuqina kwesistimu yezinzwa , kanye ne-tryptophan, i-amino acid umzimba oyisebenzisayo ukukhiqiza i-serotonin, "i-hormone yenjabulo" eyaziwayo.
Kodwa kukhona ingxenye eyodwa evame ukunganakwa: i-theobromine. Le molekyuli, efana ne-caffeine kodwa ithambile, isebenza njengesikhuthazi esithambile. Ngokusho kukaMartÃn Clares , i-theobromine inikeza "ucingo lokuvuka oluthambile" ebuchosheni, ithuthukisa ukugxilisa ingqondo namandla engqondo ngaphandle kokubangela ukwethuka . Lo muzwa wokucaca nokuzola yilokho abantu abaningi abakuzwayo lapho bedla i-cocoa emsulwa.
Inhliziyo nayo iyazuza
Udokotela wenhliziyo u-Aurelio Rojas wabelane ezinkundleni zokuxhumana ngemiphumela yokuhlaziywa kwe-meta okwanyatheliswa kuyi-European Journal of Preventive Cardiology. Lolu cwaningo, oluhlaziye idatha evela kubantu abangaphezu kuka-336.000, luthole ukuthi ukusetshenziswa okulinganiselwe koshokoledi omnyama kuhlotshaniswa nengozi ephansi engu-18% yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo . URojas uqokomisa ukuthi ama-flavonoid nama-polyphenols ku-cocoa anezakhiwo zokulwa ne-antioxidant kanye nokulwa nokuvuvukala, okusiza ukuvikela impilo yenhliziyo nokwandisa ukukhiqizwa kwe-nitric oxide.
Esinye isivivinyo, esanyatheliswa kuyi-Journal of the American College of Cardiology, sihlole imiphumela ye-cocoa ecebile nge-flavanol ezigulini ezinesifo semithambo yenhliziyo. Abahlanganyeli abadle i-cocoa equkethe ama-milligram angu-375 e-flavanol kabili ngosuku inyanga yonke bathole ukwanda kwamangqamuzana e-angiogenic ajikelezayo kanye nokukhula okuthuthukisiwe kwemithambo yegazi . Nakuba usayizi wesampula wawumncane, imiphumela iphakamisa ukuthi i-cocoa ingadlala indima empilweni yemithambo yegazi.
Ukubaluleka kokukhetha kahle
Akuzona zonke izinto ezithengiswa njengoshokoledi omnyama ezidalwe zilingana. Ochwepheshe batusa ukunaka iphesenti le-cocoa, okufanele libe ngu-85% noma ngaphezulu, futhi ugweme imikhiqizo enoshukela omningi . Ushukela ubanga ukwanda kwe-glucose kulandelwe ukuphahlazeka okungadala ukucasuka, ukukhathazeka, kanye nokukhathala kwengqondo, njengoba uMartÃn Clares exwayisa. Ngakho-ke, ibha enoshukela omningi ingaba nomphumela ophambene nalokho okufunayo.
Ubuningi bubalulekile futhi. Isincomo esijwayelekile ukuthi kudliwe phakathi kwama-ounces amabili kashokoledi omnyama nsuku zonke kanye ne-cocoa okungenani engu-85% . Isazi sokudla okunempilo uPablo Ojeda, yena, uveza ukuthi i-theobromine iyasiza ekuvuseleleni imisipha futhi ilwa nokuvuvukala, kodwa ugcizelela ukuthi kumele kube yi-cocoa emsulwa, engenalo ubisi noma ushukela owengeziwe, ukuze udle ushokoledi kahle nsuku zonke.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kumelwe sisuse umbono wokuthi ushokoledi welapha ukucindezeleka. Akukho ukudla, ngisho ne-cocoa, okungakwelapha lesi sifo ngokwako , kukhumbuza uMartÃn Clares. Lokho engakwenza ukuhlanganiswa nephethini yokudla enempilo esekela inhlalakahle yemizwa, njalo ngokulinganisela nangendlela yokuphila elinganiselayo.
Ngamafuphi, ushokoledi omnyama ungaba umsizi wezempilo uma ukhethwa ngokuhlakanipha futhi udliwa ngokulinganisela. Izithako eziku-cocoa, njenge-flavonoids ne-theobromine, zinikeza izinzuzo enhliziyweni nasebuchosheni, kodwa ushukela uhlala uyisitha esikhulu . Ochwepheshe bayavuma ukuthi i-ounces elilodwa noma amabili kashokoledi ngosuku kanye ne-cocoa okungenani engu-85% ingaba yingxenye yokudla okulinganiselayo, yize kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi akuyona indawo yokwelashwa.
