Itshokholethi inokukunceda unciphise umzimba kwaye ugcine isifo seswekile. I-antioxidants ekhethekileyo ifumaneka kwitshokolethi. Ngokophononongo lwezenzululwazi oluvela e-USA, zezi antioxidants ezinokunceda ukulwa ukutyeba kunye nohlobo lwe-2 yeswekile kunye nokuthintela zombini iingxaki. Nangona kunjalo, itshokholethi ibonelela ngezinto ezininzi ezixabisekileyo ezineziphumo ezibalaseleyo zempilo.
Thintela ubunzima ngetshokolethi
Kuvakala kukuhle kakhulu ukuba yinyani: Abaphandi base-US banesizathu esivakalayo sokukholelwa ukuba ukutya itshokolethi kuthintela ukutyeba nesifo seswekile.
I-Chocolate ithatha le mpembelelo kwicandelo layo eliphambili, i-cocoa. I-cocoa ityebile kwi-antioxidants.
Uphononongo olwenziwe yi-US Hershey Centre for Health & Nutrition, iziko lokutya okunempilo, lide lafumanisa ukuba i-cocoo iqulethe i-antioxidants eninzi kunezinye iziqhamo.
Abaphandi bathelekisa umxholo we-antioxidant we-cocoa powder kunye nenye iziqhamo zomgubo. Kuye kwavela ukuba i-cocoa inempembelelo enkulu ye-antioxidant kwaye iqulethe izinto ezibaluleke kakhulu kuzo zonke izityalo ezivavanyiweyo.
Ngaphezu kwakho konke, umxholo we-flavanols kunye ne-polyphenols, iintlobo ezikhethekileyo ze-antioxidants, zininzi kwi-cocoa.
Itshokholethi inqanda ubunzima
Ngokutsho kweqela lophando lase-US elikhokelwa ngu-Andrew P. Neilson, ikwayi-flavanols ejongene nefuthe lokutyeba kunye nesifo sikashukela.
Izazinzulu ziye zavavanya impembelelo yee-flavanols ezahlukeneyo kwiimbotyi ze-cocoa kwiimpuku ezondla ukutya okunamafutha aphezulu. Iigundane zondliwa ngokutya okunamafutha aphantsi asebenza njengeqela lokulawula.
Ngokophononongo, zonke i-antioxidants kwi-cocoa zithintele ukufumana ubunzima. Nangona kunjalo, i-oligomeric procyanidins yayiyeyona isebenzayo kakhulu.
Nangona kunjalo, iiPC ze-oligomeric nazo zaphucula ukunyamezela kweglucose yeempuku kwaye ke yenza igalelo elibalulekileyo ekuthinteleni uhlobo lwe-2 yeswekile.
Yeyiphi itshokolethi eyiyo?
IHershey Centre for Health & Nutrition ™, ekhokelwa nguGqr. Kuphando lwakhe, uDebra Miller wafumanisa ukuba kukuphi ukutya okuqulethe i-cocoa kunenzuzo kakhulu kwimpilo, oko kukuthi ukutya okuqulethe i-antioxidants eninzi.
Itshokolethi emnyama kunye ne-cocoa powder, ngoko ke, inamazinga aphezulu e-flavanols. Iglasi yetshokolethi eshushu, kwelinye icala, ayinakho naziphi na i-flavanols kuba i-cocoa ekhawulezileyo kuyo icutshungulwe kakhulu.
I-tshokoleta yobisi, ngokuqhelekileyo inamafutha kakhulu, nayo ayikhuthazwa kwaye ayisebenzi ngokubhekiselele kwisisindo somzimba kunye nokuthintela isifo sikashukela.
Ngaphandle komxholo wekhalori ephezulu, itshokolethi yobisi ngokubanzi ibonelela ngeswekile eninzi kwaye, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, i-cocoa encinci kakhulu.
Ngoko ke kufuneka uhlale ukhetha itshokolethi enomxholo ophezulu we-cocoa (ubuncinci i-70 ekhulwini). Kuya kuba yinto efanelekileyo ukuba i-tshokoleta ayizange ifakwe iswekile, kodwa nge-xylitol okanye i-coconut blossom sugar.
Itshokholethi emnyama ngaphandle kobisi inokwenza lukhulu kuthi ukongeza ekuthinteleni ukutyeba nesifo seswekile. Ngokomzekelo, iphucula imemori kwaye iqinisa inkqubo ye-cardiovascular system.
