I kēia mau lā, ua paʻi ʻia kahi ʻatikala hoihoi i ka ʻepekema New English Journal of Medicine, ʻo ka manaʻo nui o ia ka slogan: "Makemake ʻoe e ola lōʻihi? E ʻai i ka nati! ʻAʻole ʻono wale nā nutts, e like me nā ʻepekema Pelekane, akā he mea maikaʻi loa nō hoʻi, ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻano meaʻai nui loa.
No ke aha mai? He waiwai nui nā nuts i nā ʻakika momona ʻole, aia ka nui o ka fiber, nā huaora, nā minela, a me nā mea bioactive pono ʻē aʻe (ʻo ka mea nui o ia mau antioxidants a me nā phytosterols).
Inā he mea ʻai ʻoe, ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i nā nati ua lilo i ʻāpana o kou ola. Inā he ʻai ʻoe, a laila ma muli o ko lākou waiwai waiwai, e hoʻololi pono nā nati i kahi nui o ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula i loko o ka meaʻai, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui i ka hana o ka ʻōpū a me ke kino holoʻokoʻa, hoʻolōʻihi i ke ola a hoʻomaikaʻi i kona ʻano.
Ua hōʻike nā haʻawina ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i hoʻokahi aniani o nā nati (ma kahi o 50 grams) i ka lā e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka cholesterol maikaʻi ʻole a pēlā e pale ai i ka lawa ʻole o ka coronary.
Eia kekahi, hiki i ka ʻai ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā ke hōʻemi i ka pilikia o: • type 2 diabetes, • metabolic syndrome, • bowel cancer, • gastric ulcer, • diverticulitis, a eia kekahi, pale ia i nā maʻi ʻeha a hoʻemi i nā pae kaumaha.
Aia kekahi mau hōʻike ikaika loa e ʻae ʻia nā nati e lilo i ke kaumaha, hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ke kō koko a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ke koko kiʻekiʻe.
Wahi a nā helu helu, ʻo ka poʻe e ʻai ana i nā nati i kēlā me kēia lā he 1: Slimmer; 2: ʻAʻole hiki ke puhi i ka uahi; 3: Hana pinepine i nā haʻuki; 4: Hoʻohana hou aku i nā mea hoʻohui huaora; 5: E hoʻonui i nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai; 6: ʻAʻole hiki ke inu i ka waiʻona!
Aia kekahi mau hōʻike ikaika e hiki ai i kahi lima o nā nati ke hāpai i kou ʻuhane! Wahi a kekahi mau noiʻi, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka nut e hōʻemi maʻamau i nā kumu make āpau i nā kāne a me nā wahine. Ma waena o ka poʻe e ʻai mau i nā nati, nā hihia o ka maʻi kanesa, nā maʻi o ka hanu a me nā ʻōnaehana cardiovascular. ʻAe, he mau kumu maikaʻi loa kēia e ʻai ai i nā nati hou aʻe!
Eia nō naʻe, ke kū nei ka nīnau - ʻo wai nā huaʻai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi? Ua hōʻuluʻulu ka poʻe loea meaʻai Pelekāne i kēia "hit parade": 1: Peanuts; 2: Pistachios; 3: Alemona; 4: Walnuts; 5: nā hua hua ʻē aʻe e ulu ana ma luna o nā kumulāʻau.
ʻAi no ke olakino! Mai poina wale i ka paʻakikī o ka ʻeli ʻana i ka pīni - ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻoinu ʻia i ka pō. Hiki ke hoʻoulu ʻia nā pistachios a me nā ʻalemona, akā ʻaʻole koi ʻia, no laila e hoʻohui maikaʻi iā lākou i ka smoothies.
