Ososayensi bathole ukuthi abantu abadla amantongomane nsuku zonke baphila isikhathi eside futhi benempilo kunalabo abangawadli. Ukudla okulula phakathi kokudla kungenye yemithetho yokudla okunempilo. Kubalulekile ukuthi zibe nempilo futhi zizuzise umzimba. Ososayensi base-Harvard University baqambe ukudla okulula okunempilo okungasizi nje kuphela ukugcina isisindo esinempilo, kodwa futhi kunciphisa ingozi yesifo senhliziyo, kungavimbela umdlavuza, futhi kwandise nokuphila.
Ngokocwaningo, inzuzo enkulu kakhulu ivela kumthamo wansuku zonke wamantongomane. Ngokusho kososayensi, abantu abadla amantongomane nsuku zonke mancane amathuba okuba babulawe umdlavuza, isifo senhliziyo nezifo zokuphefumula.
“Sithole ukuthi abantu abadla amantongomane nsuku zonke baphila isikhathi eside futhi benempilo kunalabo abangawadli,” kusho uFrank Hu, uprofesa wezokudla okunomsoco nezifo eziwumshayabhuqe eHarvard School of Public Health.
Yiziphi izinzuzo zamantongomane?
Abantu ababedla amantongomane nsuku zonke banciphisa amathuba abo okufa ngamaphesenti angaba ngu-20. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-fiber, amafutha anempilo, amavithamini, amaminerali, namakhemikhali e-phytochemicals atholakala kumantongomane anganikeza "i-cardioprotective, anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, kanye nezakhiwo ze-antioxidant."
Ngaphezu kwalokho, amantongomane acindezela indlala ngokumunca umswakama otholakala emathunjini futhi enze umuntu azizwe esuthi.
Ubani okufanele nakanjani adle amantongomane futhi kungani
Abantu abasengozini yokuhlaselwa yinhliziyo kufanele balandele ukudla okunempilo okuhlanganisa amantongomane ngoba bona
- ukunciphisa izinga le-low-density lipoprotein, i-cholesterol, ne-triglycerides emithanjeni;
- ukuthuthukisa impilo ye-arterial mucosa;
- ukunciphisa ingozi yamahlule egazi, okungaholela ekuhlaselweni yinhliziyo nokufa.
