Ukupheka kubalulekile ekudleni. Kuyasiza ukugaya ukudla, ukonga inani elikhulu lamandla. Ukwelashwa okushisa kunciphisa ukudla, ikakhulukazi i-fiber nenyama enzima, amazinyo ethu amancane, amahlumela asobuthakathaka kanye nesistimu yokugaya ukudla akulungele "ukusebenza ngokuqondile".
Nokho, muva nje sivame ukuzwa kokudla okuluhlaza okupheka okubulala amavithamini namaminerali ekudleni. Kodwa-ke, imifino eluhlaza, njengoba sonke siyazi kahle, akuzona ukudla okunempilo njalo.
Fresh noma abilisiwe?
Umagazini waseBrithani Ukudla ("Ukudla okunomsoco") ubika ukuthi uRui Hai Liu, uprofesa onobungane wesayensi yokudla e-Cornell University, wenza ucwaningo olunzulu lokudla okuluhlaza. Enye yezinto ezifundwayo kulolu cwaningo zithinta i-lycopene (i-antioxidant engaphezu kuka-vitamin C). U-Liu ukholelwa ukuthi ukwelashwa okushisayo empeleni kwandisa okuqukethwe kwe-lycopene emifino, ngoba kubhubhisa igobolondo elinzima futhi kusiza umzimba ukuba uwunake ngokugcwele.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukupheka kwezinye izimo kunciphisa okuqukethwe kwayo ngekhalori ngesigamu. Inani lamandla ama-izaqathe amasha angama-kcal angu-41, futhi okuqukethwe kwekhalori ye-izaqathi ephekwe ingama-kcal angu-24 nge-100 g. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abacwaningi bayaphawula ukuthi uma i-carrots ebilisiwe, izakhiwo zayo eziwusizo zikhuphuka ngo-25%.
Yeka ukuthi izaqathi ziwusizo kanjani?
Ama-karoti awusizo kuphela ukuqinisa amehlo ethu, izinwele nezipikili. Ososayensi baseDutch baqinisekisa ukuthi izaqathe zingenye yemifino ephumelela kakhulu ekuvimbeleni izifo zenhliziyo. Futhi uma sibuyela engxoxweni ngombono, sizokuthokozisa ngesakhiwo sikaJules Stein waseLos Alange. Ithimba lakhe lithole ukuthi abesifazane abadla izaqathe kabili ngeviki, uma kuqhathaniswa nabesifazane abasebenzisa izaqathe kaningi, banamazinga aphansi kakhulu e-glaucoma.
