Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻai kokoleka e kū nei, e nānā ʻia kahi noiʻi hou inā pono nā huaʻai i hana ʻia mai nā meaʻai i loaʻa i loko o ke kokoleka. E pili ana ka haʻawina i nā kāne a me nā wahine 18000; ʻO ka manaʻo ma hope o ke aʻo ʻana, ʻo ia ka loiloi ʻana i nā pono o nā mea momona momona ʻole, ʻaʻohe kō, wahi a Kauka Joanne Manson, ke poʻo o ka lāʻau pale ma Brigham and Women's Hospital Boston.
ʻO ka mea nui o ke aʻo ʻana ʻo flavanol, ka mea i loaʻa i loko o nā pī koko a ua hōʻike mua i nā hopena maikaʻi i ke aʻa, nā pae insulin, ke koko a me nā pae cholesterol. Ma hope aku, e loiloi pū ka poʻe noiʻi i ke kuleana o nā multivitamins i ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi no kahi hui ākea ākea.
E kākoʻo ʻia ke aʻo ʻana e Mars Inc., ka mea nāna i hana iā Snickers and M&M's, a me ka National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. Ma Mars Inc. Aia kekahi ala patent no ka unuhi ʻana i ka flavanol mai loko mai o ka pī koko a hana i nā capsule mai ia mea, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o kēia mau capsules i nā meaʻai ikaika ma mua o ka hoʻolālā noiʻi hou e loaʻa.
E kiʻi ʻia nā poʻe haʻawina mai nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe, he ala ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki a me ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumu kūʻai ma mua o ke kiʻi ʻana i nā mea hou, wahi a Dr. Manson. No nā makahiki ʻehā, e hāʻawi ʻia nā mea komo i ʻelua mau kapena placebo a i ʻole ʻelua capsules flavanol i kēlā me kēia lā. E loaʻa i nā mea komo i ka ʻāpana ʻelua o ka haʻawina kahi placebo a i ʻole multivitamin capsules. ʻAʻole ʻono nā capsules āpau a i loko o ka pūpū hoʻokahi, no laila ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea komo a me nā mea noiʻi ke hoʻokaʻawale i waena o nā capsules maoli a me kahi placebo.
ʻOiai he mea hou ka manaʻo o nā capsules kokoleka a me ka ʻai kokoleka, ua aʻo ʻia nā hopena olakino o ka koko no ka manawa lōʻihi. Loaʻa i ka koko i loko o ke kokoleka nā flavanoids, he mau antioxidants a he mea kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka ʻeha a me ka puʻuwai puʻuwai, a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ke koko. Ua hōʻike nā haʻawina e hiki i nā flavanols ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino noʻonoʻo i ko mākou mau makahiki. ʻO ke kokoleka ʻeleʻele, me ka mea koko kiʻekiʻe loa, loaʻa ka waiwai therapeutic kiʻekiʻe loa a pono e kaupalena ʻia i ~20g i kēlā me kēia lā ʻekolu no ka hopena maikaʻi loa.
Loaʻa nā flavonoids i loko o ka koko a me ke kokoleka ma nā ʻāpana lean o ka pī a me nā catechins, procyanidins, a me nā epicatechins. Ma waho aʻe o ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi koʻikoʻi, loaʻa i ka pī koko nā pono olakino ʻē aʻe. Hiki i ka koko ke hoʻoulu i ka piʻi ʻana o ke kiʻekiʻe o ke serotonin i loko o ka lolo, e kōkua ana i ke kaumaha a me ka PMS! Loaʻa i nā pīni koko he nui nā minelala a me nā huaora e like me ka calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, potassium, zinc and copper, A, B1, B2, B3, C, E a me ka waikawa pantothenic.
Ma muli o ka maikaʻi o ke kokoleka no ke olakino, a i kēia manawa hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia ma ke ʻano o nā capsules, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha ua ʻike ʻia ka meaʻai kokoleka. ʻO ka ʻai ka hopena o nā haʻawina e hōʻike ana i ka poʻe i ʻai mau i ke kokoleka he haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ka helu kino kino (BMI) ma mua o ka poʻe i ʻai ʻole ia. ʻOiai ʻo ke kokoleka ka momona, nā antioxidants a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e wikiwiki i ka metabolism. Eia hou, ʻo ka manaʻo nui o ka meaʻai kokoleka ma luna o ke kokoleka ʻeleʻele.
Eia naʻe, pono e hoʻomanaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻohana maʻamau, ʻaʻole ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka kokoleka, hāʻawi i nā hopena. Inā ʻoe e nānā pono, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka mea maʻamau o ia mau meaʻai āpau, ʻo ia ka ʻai olakino, ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻāpana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maʻamau, a ʻai ʻia ke kokoleka ma kekahi ʻano a me nā manawa i kuhikuhi ʻia. ʻO nā hua kokoleka a me nā meaʻai he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i kou olakino!
