ʻO nā kuhi olaʻole he mau mea mole hikiʻole ke hoʻopau i nā pūnaewele i loko o kou kino. Hāpai lākou i ka loaʻa a me nā lilo o nā electrons i nā hāmaʻa a me nā mole. Lawe pinepine lākou e like me ka hopena o nā kaʻina hana maʻamau. Eia kekahi laʻana, i ka manawa e hoʻohana ai kou kino i ka oxygen, hana ia i nā radical free e like me ka huahana a me ka pōʻino i hanaʻia e kēlā poʻe radical free he 'oxidative stress.'
Akā,ʻaʻole kāu mea e hana ai. Hiki nō hoʻi iāʻoe ke hōʻike i nā radical liʻiliʻi e hiki mai ana mai nā kumu likeʻole o ke kaiapuni e like me ka radiation, nā lāʻau lapaʻau, nā pesticides, nā mea pale, ka puhi ahi a me nā mea poke.
No ke aha e palekana ai i nā hakahaka?
I kou'ōpiopio a me kou olakino, he hana maikaʻi loa kou kino no ka lawelaweʻana me kēia mau radical free, aʻaʻoleʻoe eʻike i kekahi mea. Akā, ināʻaʻoleʻoe eʻai pono, noʻumeʻa, a iʻole e hōʻikeʻia i nā kumu kaiāulu o nā radical free, hiki i kāu pilikia no kaʻinoʻino pūnaewele a me ke kino. ʻO ia, aʻo kaʻelemakule e hoʻopiʻi i kāu pilikia ma kāu polokalamu palekana palekana.
Hoʻopilikia i nā pūlakiʻino ma kahi o ka manawa, no laila,ʻo kēlā me kēia kikowaena o nā pūnaewele e hele nei e hana ponoʻole e like me ia. Eia kekahi laʻana,ʻoi aku ka nāwaliwali o ke kino o ka pilina e kapaʻia he collagen me ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, a ma muli o ka hopena,ʻoi aʻe ka wrinkle o kouʻili. Hiki i nā pā o kou ākea keʻehaʻia, a kūkuluʻia nā pāpū cholesterol, hiki ke ho'ēmi i ke koko i kou puʻuwai, ka lolo, a me nā mea'ē aʻe, aiʻole ke kumu o ke koko.
Ma muli o ka hopena o ka hopena, hiki ke hoʻonui i ka hoʻomehana liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i ka nui o ka pilikia o nā maʻi kūlohelohe, e like me ka maʻi maʻi a me kekahiʻano maʻi kanesa. ʻIke loa, he manaʻo maikaʻi loa ia e pale aku i ka nui o nā radical free.
ʻO ka papa helu o ke kelekema a me ka olakino, no ke aha ka mea e pili ai i ka meaʻai?
ʻO kaʻaiʻana i nā meaʻai olakino,ʻo ia hoʻi nā huaʻono, a me nā mea maʻi e kōkua i ka hakakāʻana i kekahi o nā pōʻino piliʻole.
ʻO nā mea kanu e like me ka lāʻau C, ka beta-carotene, ka mea seleni a me ka hua malo E hiki ke kāohi a hōʻemi i kaʻino i hanaʻia e nā radical free, a kapaʻia lākou he antioxidants. Loaʻa kēia mau meaʻai i loko o nāʻano meaʻai likeʻole, akā uaʻoi aʻe lākou ma nā kumu kanu. No laila paha hoʻokahi kumu eʻai nui ai i kaʻaiʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā meaʻai.
ʻO ka meaʻoiaʻiʻo, nā hōʻike e hōʻike ana i kaʻaiʻana i ka meaʻai i kiʻekiʻe i nā antioxidants pili i ka maikaʻiʻoi aku o ka olakino. ʻOiai, aia nō kekahi mau kumu e hiki ai i nā kānaka ke loaʻa i kahi kiʻekiʻe o nā antioxidants ke olakino. ʻO kahi laʻana,ʻo nā kānaka eʻai ai i ka maʻi no kaʻoi aku kaʻoi aku o kaʻoihana aʻoi aku ka mālamaʻana i ke komo pono caloric.
Hiki i nā kīʻaha ke pāʻani i ka hoʻoukaʻana i nā kuhi kala?
He nui nā meaʻai kīhāpai e koiʻia ana he mau antioxidants no ka mea, ua hanaʻia lākou i nā meaʻai a mea kanu paha i hōʻike i ka hana antioxidant i loko o ka hale hana. Akā,ʻoiaiʻo kaʻaiʻana i nā meaʻai e waiwai ai i nā antioxidants i mea maikaʻi,ʻo ka laweʻana i nā hoʻopiʻi antioxidantʻaʻole ia e hāʻawi i nā pono likeʻole, koe naʻe nā mea koʻikoʻi. E like me ka hui pūʻana o ka lutein, zeaxanthin, a me nā meaʻai'ē aʻe e hiki ke ho'ēmi i ka piʻiʻana o ka maʻamau maʻamau,ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka makapō i ka poʻeʻelemakule.
ʻOiai ua manaʻoʻia he palekana nā'āpana antioxidant, ua hōʻike kekahi mau noiʻi noiʻiʻo ka laweʻana i nā hōʻailona antioxidant hiki ke hana i kaʻinoʻoi aku ma mua o ka maikaʻi,ʻaʻole ia he mea āu e makemake ai inā e ho'āʻo neiʻoe e ola a ola paha. No laila, ma mua o ka hoʻolimalimaʻana i nā kālā ma nā meaʻaiʻaiʻai, eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka kūʻaiʻana i nā hua, nā huaʻai, a me nā meaʻai ola'ē aʻe.
