ʻO nā amino acids ka papa hana o nā meaola. ʻO nā kinona , ma keʻano, pono no nā hanana a me nā hana i loko o ko mākou kino.
Hoʻohanaʻia ko mākou kino he 20 amino acino'ē aʻe e hana ai i nā mea a pau e pono ai lākou e ola. Hoʻohuiʻia kēia mau amino acids a'ōwiliʻia e hoʻohuiʻia i nāʻaoʻao likeʻole. Ke hoʻohanaʻia nā huapona e pono ai e kūkulu i ko mākou mauʻiʻo, iwi, lauoho, a me nā kui, akāʻo ia wale nō ka hoʻomaka.
ʻO nā amino acids e hoʻopili i nā enzymes e hoʻonāukiuki i nā hanana kala i loko o ko kākou kino. Lawe lākou i nā meaʻai a me nā meaola'ē aʻe e pono ai ma o ko mākou koko a ma waho o nā membrane pūnaewele. Lawe lākou i nā hōʻailona mai kekahiʻaoʻao o ke kino i kekahi. ʻO nā pūʻaliʻaeʻa e palekana iā mākou mai ka maʻi o nā māmā. ʻO nā hana o nā protein ua aneane hikiʻole ke helu.
ʻO ka 20 amino acids i pono iā mākou, hiki i ko mākou kino ke hana i 11 o lākou. ʻO kekahi'ē aʻe 9 pono mākou e loaʻa i kā mākou mau meaʻai - ua kapaʻia lākou he amino amino nui no ka mea he mea nui kaʻaiʻana ia mau mea. ʻO ka nui o kā mākou pono o kēlā me kēia amino acid e likeʻole - no ka laʻana, e like me nā kūlana o ka World Health Organization, he kanaka e kau ana i 70 kilokani. (154 lbs.) Pono i ka 280 mg wale nō o ka pānaena wikiwiki, akā 2100 mg o lysine a me 2730 mg o leucine.
Ua'ōleloʻia, ua aneane hiki i ka hua manu ka pale kūpono o nā mea amino pono e pono ai, a me nā māmā holoholona ma keʻano (kaʻiʻo, ka iʻa, ka lawaiʻa, a me nā mea'ē aʻe) he nui ka nui o lākou a pau.
ʻO nā kumu kanu o nā amino acids,ʻo ia nō nā legumes, nā kiku, nā nū, a me nāʻanoʻano, akāʻaʻole kekahi o lākou i loaʻa i nā "amuamu" o nā mea amino acids (me nā quinoa a me ke amaranth ). No laila,ʻo nā kānaka e hilinaʻi nei i nā mea kanu o nā meaʻai no nā mea hoʻomalu, hiki iā lākou ke hōʻoia pono i kaʻaiʻana i nāʻano meaʻai a me nā laiki, i mea likeʻole, he hui kūikawā nui ia e loaʻa ai nā amino a pau.
ʻO nā amino amino maʻamau kēia: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, a me valine.
ʻO nā mea amino'ē aʻe kahi e pono ai kā mākou kino (e hana i ko mākou mau kino): alanine, asparagine, acid aspartic, cysteine, acid glutamic, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, a tyrosine.
* Aia kekahi manawa kahi e hiki ai i ka amino acids a iʻole nā meaʻai'ē aʻe ke "kaupapa nui", i ka wā e pilikia ai ka kino ma muli o ka maʻi, ka maʻi, a me keʻelemakule paha.
