Kungani Ushokoledi Ulungele Inhliziyo Yakho?
Ucwaningo lwangaphambilini olushicilelwe kuI-European Journal of Preventive Cardiologyuthole lokhoushokoledikungenzeka ngempela ikufanelekele i-hype uma kuziwa empilweni yenhliziyo.Babuyekeze amashumi amahlanu eminyaka ocwaningo kuhlanganise nabahlanganyeli abangaphezu kuka-336,000 ukuze babone ukuthi ushokoledi nenhliziyo yakho kuhlobana kanjani.Bathole ukuthi ukudla ushokoledi okungenani kabili ngesonto, uma kuqhathaniswa kanye ngesonto noma ngaphansi, kwakuhlotshaniswa nengozi ephansi ye-8% yesifo se-coronary artery.Lokhu bathi kungenxa yesenzo sokuphumula somkhumbi semithambo yegazi ushokoledi onaso.Baphinde bakhuluma ngama-flavonoids, uhlobo lwe-antioxidant olutholakala ku-cocoa, kushokoledi aziwa ngokunciphisa ukuvuvukala nokukhuthaza ukukhula kohlobo oluhle lwe-cholesterol, i-high-density lipoprotein.
Ucwaningo lwangaphambili oluvela eHarvard lubike ukuthi ocwaningweni lwabesifazane abangaphezu kuka-31,000 abaneminyaka ephakathi nasebekhulile baseSweden, labo abadla ushokoledi owodwa noma amabili ngesonto (cishe ama-servings angu-2) babenengozi ephansi ngamaphesenti angu-32 yokumelwa yinhliziyo kunabesifazane abadlayo. akukho ushokoledi.Ucwaningo olukhulu olufanayo luye lwaphakamisa ukuthi abantu abadla njalo ushokoledi olinganiselayo bangase babe nezigameko eziphansi zomfutho wegazi ophakeme, imithambo eqinile yemithambo yegazi ngisho nokushaywa unhlangothi.
Abacwaningi abanaso isiqiniseko sokuthi ushokoledi uyisiza kanjani inhliziyo, kodwa incazelo engenzeka ukuthi izinhlanganisela eziku-cocoa ezibizwa ngokuthi ama-flavanols zisiza ukusebenzisa ama-enzyme akhulula i-nitric oxide-into esiza ukunweba futhi iphumuze imithambo yegazi.Lokho kuvumela igazi ukuba ligeleze emithanjeni ngokukhululeka, kunciphisa umfutho wegazi.I-nitric oxide ibandakanyeka futhi ekwehliseni igazi elincane futhi linciphise ukuthambekela kwalo ekwehliseni amahlule, okungenzeka, ingozi yokushaywa unhlangothi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanye ama-flavanols abalulekile ku-cocoa, ama-catechin nama-epicatechin (atholakala nasewayinini elibomvu netiye elihlaza) ayaziwa ukuthi anenhliziyo enempilo, imiphumela ye-antioxidant, njengokusiza ukuvimbela i-cholesterol ye-LDL eyingozi ekuguquleni ibe ngaphezulu. ifomu elibulalayo, eline-oxidized.(Nakuba ibhotela likakhokho, ingxenye enamafutha kashokholethi, iqukethe amafutha agcwele, ikakhulukazi i-stearic acid, amafutha ahlezi kahle angabonakali enyusa amazinga e-LDL.) I-cocoa flavonols nayo inezici zokuqeda ukuvuvukala ezingase zivikele ukuvuvukala. inhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, futhi ngaleyo ndlela ngelinye ilanga kungase kube nendima ekulawuleni ezinye izifo ezihlobene nokuvuvukala nokulimala kwemithambo yegazi, njengesifo sikashukela nesifo i-Alzheimer's.
Uma uzimisele ngokuthola ama-flavanol amaningi ekulungiseni kwakho ushokoledi, kungase kudingeke uzingele, ngoba abakhiqizi abaningi abalubhalisi okuqukethwe kwe-flavanol kumalebula omkhiqizo wabo.Kodwa njengoba ama-compounds atholakala kuphela engxenyeni ye-cocoa kashokoledi, efuna ukhokho, noma ushokoledi onokuqukethwe kwe-cocoa ephakeme, kufanele ngokusobala uthumele ama-flavanol amaningi ngendlela yakho.Ngakho-ke ukukhetha okumnyama kunoshokoledi wobisi, okuthi, ngenxa yobisi olwengeziwe, kuqukethe amaphesenti aphansi we-cocoa solids.Khetha i-cocoa yemvelo ngaphezu kwe-cocoa powder kanye, njengoba inani elikhulu lama-flavanol liyalahleka uma ukhokho uhlanganiswa ne-alkali.Yiqiniso, zonke lezo zinyathelo azisona isiqinisekiso sama-flavanol aphezulu, njengoba izinqubo zokukhiqiza ezifana nokugazinga nokubilisa ubhontshisi we-cocoa zingaba nomthelela omkhulu kokuqukethwe kwe-flavanol, futhi-futhi lezo zihluka kakhulu kusuka kumkhiqizo kuya komkhiqizo.Ukubheja kwakho okuhle ukuxhumana nomkhiqizi bese ubuza.
Kodwa-ke, noma yimiphi imiphumela emihle yokudla ushokoledi ovamile kufanele kucatshangelwe yiqiniso lokuthi upakisha inqwaba yoshukela namafutha (ikakhulukazi lawo angezwa uma uziphuzela ngoshokoledi ophaya we-whoopie noma ama-Snickers bar).Wonke lawo ma-calorie engeziwe anganqwabelana ngokushesha ngamaphawundi engeziwe, ahlehlise kalula noma yikuphi okuhle okungenzeka ukuthi lawo ma-flavanol akwenzile.Kusengcono ukuthi uqhubeke ucabanga ushokoledi njengento yokwelapha, hhayi ukwelashwa.
