ʻAʻohe hua ʻano like ʻole e like me ka niu. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau hua ʻokoʻa a puni ka honua e hana i ka waiu niu, ka palaoa, ke kō a me ka pata, nā kopa a me nā huahana nani, a ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka ʻaila niu kekahi o nā meaʻai nui loa ma ka Honua.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua lilo nā hua niu i mea kaulana loa ma ke Komohana a poina pinepine mākou i ka nati i kona kūlana kūlohelohe. Eia naʻe, e like me ka Coconut Research Center, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua e hilinaʻi nei i nā niu hou, i ʻai nui ʻia.
Nui nā niu i nā triglycerides, nā momona meaʻai i ʻike ʻia e hoʻemi i ke kaumaha ma muli o ka wikiwiki o ka ʻeli ʻana o ko mākou kino.

ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole like me nā momona i loaʻa i nā meaʻai e like me ka ʻiʻo a me ka paʻakai, ʻo nā ʻakika momona i loaʻa i loko o ka niu ke pale aku i ka ʻai nui ʻana a hoʻemi i kā mākou calorie ma ke kāohi ʻana i ka pōloli no ka manawa lōʻihi. ʻO ka nui o ka momona meaʻai i loko o ka niu ua pili pū i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino cardiovascular.
Wahi a kahi noiʻi i paʻi ʻia ma ʻOkakopa 2008 i ka Journal of the American Institute of Nutrition, ua hānai nā mea manawaleʻa i ka niu ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana hoʻemi kaumaha ʻehā mahina i ʻike i ka emi ʻana o nā pae cholesterol. No laila inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka cholesterol kiʻekiʻe, hiki ke hoʻohui i nā niu hou i kāu meaʻai e kōkua i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana.
ʻO ka niu kahi kumu maikaʻi o ka fiber. Wahi a nā helu mana, aia hoʻokahi kīʻaha o ka ʻiʻo niu he 7 grams o ka fiber meaʻai. ʻOiai ʻike ka hapa nui o ka poʻe e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ka fiber i ka ʻāpana ʻōpū a hiki ke kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ka constipation, ua ʻike ʻia kahi ʻatikala i paʻi ʻia ma ʻApelila 2009 ʻo ka meaʻai momona i ka fiber ke hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kō koko koko, pale i ka maʻi diabetes, hoʻoikaika i ko mākou ʻōnaehana pale a - a me nā momona momona. - hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā pae cholesterol i loko o ke koko. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka niu kekahi o nā meaʻai maikaʻi loa e ʻai ai mākou no ke olakino koko.
Hoʻomaikaʻi i ka hana o ka lolo. Hoʻokahi ʻai o ka ʻiʻo niu hou e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka 17 pākēneka o ka ʻai keleawe i ʻōlelo ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā, he mineral trace koʻikoʻi e hoʻāla ai i nā enzymes kuleana no ka hana ʻana o nā neurotransmitters, nā kinikona e hoʻohana ai ka lolo e hoʻouna i ka ʻike mai kekahi cell i kekahi. No kēia kumu, hiki i nā meaʻai momona i ke keleawe, me ka niu, ke pale iā mākou mai ka pilikia o ka naʻau pili makahiki.
Eia kekahi, ma ʻOkakopa 2013, ua paʻi ʻia nā hopena o kahi noiʻi i loko o kahi puke moʻolelo lapaʻau, ʻo ke ʻano o ia mea ʻo ka ʻaila i loko o ka ʻiʻo niu e pale ai i nā cell nerve mai nā plaque protein e kōkua i ka holomua o ka maʻi o Alzheimer.
He momona ka nui o ka niu, ʻaʻole like me nā hua ʻai ʻē aʻe. Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa i ka niu ka nui o ka potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc a me ka mea nui antioxidant selenium. Eia kekahi, hoʻokahi ʻai o ka ʻiʻo niu e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka 60 pākēneka o kā mākou waiwai i kēlā me kēia lā o ka magnesium, he mineral i komo i loko o nā hopena kemika he nui i loko o ko mākou kino, a ʻo ka hapa nui o mākou e nele mau loa.
