Amafutha omnqumo angalawulwanga (EVOO) azuze ukwaziwa emhlabeni wonke njengesisekelo sokudla kwaseMedithera nesibonakaliso sokudla okunempilo. Kodwa-ke, yini ngempela eyenza amafutha omnqumo angalawulwanga abe mnandi kuwe? Lesi sihloko sikaWanliangang sihluza izinzuzo ezibanzi zezempilo ze-EVOO, sihlaziya iphrofayela yayo yokudla okunomsoco, ama-antioxidants, izakhiwo ezinhle enhliziyweni, imiphumela kushukela egazini, amandla okulwa nokuvuvukala nomdlavuza, kanye nezinzuzo zawo esikhunjeni, izinwele, nasekwelapheni. Uma ufuna ukuqonda ukuthi kungani ukukhetha amafutha omnqumo angalawulwanga asezingeni eliphezulu kuyisinqumo esihle kakhulu sempilo yakho, qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole izinzuzo ezisekelwe kusayensi namathiphu asebenzayo okufaka i-EVOO ekudleni kwakho kwansuku zonke.

Uwoyela omnqumo ongahluziwe kahle (Extra virgin olive oil) uvame ukuba namafutha anempilo anomunye kuphela ama-unsaturated, ikakhulukazi i-oleic acid, engathinta kahle amazinga e-cholesterol. Ngokungafani namafutha agcwele atholakala ekudleni okuningi okucutshunguliwe, la mafutha anobungani nenhliziyo futhi abonakale enciphisa i-LDL (i-cholesterol embi) ngenkathi igcina noma yandisa i-HDL (i-cholesterol enhle). I-FDA iyakuqaphela izinzuzo zikayolintshi futhi ivumele izimangalo zezempilo ezihlobene nokudliwa kwayo kanye nengozi encishisiwe yezifo zenhliziyo nemithambo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-EVOO inamafutha agcwele kancane futhi ayinawo amafutha e-trans, okwenza kube ukukhetha okungcono kakhulu ukugcina amazinga amafutha alinganayo.

Amafutha anikezela ngomthamo omncane kavithamini E no K, zombili ezisiza ukuvikelwa kumagciwane kanye nokujiya kwegazi. Ukuba namandla okunomsoco kwenza i-EVOO ingabi nje into yokupheka enokunambitheka kodwa futhi ibe ukudla okusebenzayo okusekela impilo yomzimba. Lapho uthenga, kubalulekile ukukhetha uwoyela we-extra virgin olive ongokwemvelo ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi uthola zonke lezi zinzuzo, njengoba uwoyela wezinga eliphansi ungase uxutshwe noma uphucwe, ulahlekelwe ukubaluleka okunomsoco.

Enye yezinto ezichaza uwoyela we-extra virgin olive ukugxila kwawo okuphezulu kuma-polyphenols—ama-antioxidant anamandla avikela amangqamuzana ekulimaleni okubangelwa yi-oxidative. La ma-polyphenols, afaka i-oleuropein, i-hydroxytyrosol, ne-tyrosol, afundwe kabanzi ngemiphumela yawo yokuthuthukisa impilo. Asiza ukunciphisa ama-free radicals, anciphisa ukucindezeleka kwe-oxidative, okuyinto enkulu ekubangeleni ukuguga kanye nentuthuko yezifo ezingapheli.

Ukudla i-EVOO enothe amavithamini okuzivikela emzimbeni (antioxidant-rich) kuye kwaxhunyaniswa noku thuthukiswa kwezimpawu zokuvuvukala (inflammation) nokulimala okubangelwa yi-oxidative. Izakhiwo zokuzivikela emzimbeni (antioxidant properties) ziphinde zisekele uhlelo lokuzivikela komzimba (immune system) futhi zingavikela ezifweni ezilimaza ubuchopho (neurodegenerative diseases). Ukukhetha uwoyela omnqumo omusha, ocindezelwe ngobandayo (cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil) kuqinisekisa okuqukethwe okuphezulu kwe-polyphenol, okwandisa le miphumela yokuvikela.

U-oli we-olive ongavuthiwe ungumgogodla wokudla kwaseMedithera, okubongwa ngezimpawu zawo ezinhle enhliziyweni. Izifundo ziye zakhombisa njalo ukuthi abantu abadla u-EVOO njalo bahlangabezana namazinga aphansi ezifo zenhliziyo, isifo sohlanga, nomfutho wegazi ophakeme. Ukuhlanganiswa kwamafutha e-monounsaturated nama-antioxidants ku-EVOO kunomthelela ekusebenzeni okuthuthukisiwe kwe-endothelial, ukwehla komfutho wegazi, nokuncipha kokuvuvukala emithanjeni yegazi.

Isivivinyo se-PREDIMED, isifundo esibalulekile, sabonisa ukuthi ukudla kwaseMedithera okungeziwe u-oli we-olive ongavuthiwe kunciphise kakhulu ingozi yemicimbi emikhulu yenhliziyo kubantu abasengcupheni enkulu. Lezi zitholakele zigcizelela imiphumela ka-oli yokuvikela futhi zigqamise indima yawo njengokukhetha amafutha okudla kwansuku zonke empilweni yenhliziyo.

Ucwaningo olusha luphakamisa ukuthi i-extra virgin olive oil ingase futhi ibe nendima ekuqondisweni kukashukela egazini nasekwenzeni ngcono ukuzwela ku-insulin. Amafutha e-monounsaturated ku-EVOO asiza ukuzolisa amazinga kashukela egazini, anciphise ukwanda kukashukela ngemuva kokudla. Lokhu kuhlomula kakhulu kubantu abanesifo sikashukela sangaphambi kwesifo sikashukela noma isifo sikashukela sohlobo 2 abadinga ukuphatha ushukela wabo egazini ngempumelelo.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-polyphenols ku-EVOO abonakale ethuthukisa ukusebenza kwama-insulin receptors futhi anciphise ukuvuvukala, zombili izinto ezibalulekile ekugwenzeni ukumelana ne-insulin. Ukufaka i-EVOO njengomthombo oyinhloko wamafutha ekudleni kungaba nomthelela ekulawuleni okungcono kwe-metabolic futhi kunciphise ingozi yokuthola izifo ezingapheli ze-metabolic.

Ukuvuvukala okungapheli kubangela izifo eziningi zesimanje njenge-arthritis, izifo zenhliziyo, kanye ne-neurodegeneration. Imiphumela ye-extra virgin olive oil yokulwa nokuvuvukala ibangelwa kakhulu kuma-polyphenols ayo kanye ne-oleocanthal, into eyaziwa ngokuvimbela ama-enzyme avuvukalayo ngendlela efanayo ne-ibuprofen. Ukudla njalo i-EVOO kungasiza ekwehliseni izimpawu zokuvuvukala emzimbeni futhi kuthuthukise izimpawu ezimweni zokuvuvukala.

Le miphumela yemvelo yokulwa nokuvuvukala yenza i-EVOO ibe yinto yokudla enhle kakhulu kulabo abafuna ukuphatha noma ukuvimbela izifo ezingapheli ezihlobene nokuvuvukala. Isekela izindlela zomzimba zokuzivikela ngaphandle kwemiphumela emibi ehambisana nezinye izidakamizwa zokulwa nokuvuvukala.

Izifundo ezihlola ubudlelwano phakathi kwamafutha omnqumo angenasihlungu nokuvimbela umdlavuza zithole izixhumanisi ezithembisayo. Ama-antioxidant kanye nezinto ezilwa nokuvuvukala ku-EVOO kungasiza ekuvimbeleni ukwanda kwamangqamuzana omdlavuza futhi kunciphise ukulimala kwe-DNA okungaholela emizileni. Izakhamizi ezilalela ukudla kwaseMedithera, okunothe ngamafutha omnqumo angenasihlungu, ziye zabika ukwehla kwezibalo zomdlavuza webele, we-colorectal, kanye neminye imidlavuza.

Noma i-EVOO ingeyona imithi noma isiqinisekiso sokuvimbela, ukuyifaka njengengxenye yokudla okunomsoco, okunempilo kungase kube nomthelela ekwehliseni ingozi yomdlavuza. Ucwaningo oluqhubekayo luyaqhubeka nokuthola izindlela zamangqamuzana (molecular mechanisms) lapho izakhiwo ze-EVOO zisebenza khona ukuvikela umdlavuza.

Ngaphandle kwezempilo yangaphakathi, uwoyela we-olive ongahluziwe kahle waziwa ngezinzuzo zawo esikhunjeni nezinweleni ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwawo ocebile uvithamini E namafutha anempilo. Ukugcoba nokudla uwoyela we-EVOO kusiza ukondla isikhumba, kuthuthukise ukuvumelana nokunisela. Izakhiwo zawo zokulwa nokuguga zivikela amangqamuzana esikhumba ekulimaleni kwe-UV kanye nemikhiqizo yokungcola, kancane kancane izimpawu zokuguga.

Ezempilo yezinwele, uwoyela we-EVOO ungakwazi ukuqinisa izinwele, kunciphise ukuphuka, futhi ungeze ukucwebezela. Ukufaka uwoyela we-EVOO ohlelweni lwakho lobuhle noma ekudleni kungakhuthaza ukubukeka kwemvelo, okunempilo. U-Wanliangang ukhuthaza abathengi ukuthi bahlole imikhiqizo ye-EVOO esezingeni eliphezulu kokubili ukusetshenziswa kwezokupheka nokunakekelwa komuntu siqu.

Ukhilimu we-olive owengeziwe usiza impilo yokugaya ngokukhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwesibabuli nokuthuthukisa ukumunca kwezakhamzimba emathunjini. Izakhiwo zawo ezilwa nokuvuvukala zingase futhi zithobe ukucasuka kwamathumbu futhi zinciphise izimpawu zezinkinga zokugaya. Amafutha anempilo ku-EVOO asiza ekumuncweni kwamavithamini ancibilikayo emafutheni njenge-A, D, E, kanye ne-K, ezibalulekile ekugcineni impilo yonke.

Ukusetshenziswa njalo kwe-EVOO ekuphekeni noma njengesithako kungaba nomthelela ohlelweni lokugaya olusebenza kahle kanye nesimo esingcono sezakhamzimba. Lokhu kwenza i-EVOO ibe yinto eyigugu kulabo abafuna ukuthuthukisa impilo yamathumbu kanye nokudla okunomsoco.

Ukufingqa, izinzuzo ezinkulu zempilo zikakhilimu we-olive owengeziwe zihlanganisa:

Ukukhetha i-EVOO eyiqiniso nephambili kubalulekile ukuze kuzuze ngokugcwele lezi zinzuzo. U-Wanliangang uzibophezele ekunikezeni imikhiqizo ye-premium extra virgin olive oil ehlangabezana namazinga aphezulu ekhwalithi nokuhlanzeka ukuze kuqinisekiswe izinzuzo ezinkulu zezempilo zabathengi.

Ukufaka uwoyela omnqumo ongahluziwe ekudleni kwakho kwansuku zonke kulula futhi kumnandi. Sebenzisa i-EVOO njengesisekelo sokugcoba isaladi, uwudlulise phezu kwemifino ephekiwe, noma njengamafutha okuqeda kusobho ne-pasta. Ifanele ukupheka okushisayo okuphansi kuya kokuphakathi, igcina ubuqotho bayo bokudla okunempilo. Gwema ukushisa kakhulu i-EVOO ukuze ugcine ama-antioxidants ayo kanye nokunambitheka kwayo.

Kulabo abanentshisekelo emikhiqizweni esezingeni eliphezulu, i-Wanliangang's Imikhiqizo ikhasi libonisa uhla lwezinhlobonhlobo ze-extra virgin olive oils ezitholwe ngokucophelela ezaziwa ngokusha kwazo kanye nezinzuzo zezempilo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, funda kabanzi mayelana nokuzibophezela kwenkampani ekusebenzeni kahle nasekusimameni ku Ikhayaikhasi, lapho kugcizelelwa khona izindlela ezinobungani nemvelo nokusekelwa kwamakhasimende.

Ukhilimu we-olive ongavuthiwe ungcono kakhulu kuwe uma ukhethwa futhi usetshenziswe kahle. Iphrofayili yayo ecebile yamagremu anempilo, ama-antioxidants anamandla, kanye nezinye izinto ezilwa nokuvuvukala zinikeza izinzuzo eziningi zezempilo kusukela ekuvikelweni kwenhliziyo kuya ekunakekeleni isikhumba. Ukufaka ukhilimu we-olive ongavuthiwe osezingeni eliphezulu, njengalawa anikezwa yiWanliangang, ekudleni kwakho kwansuku zonke kusekela impilo yonke futhi kuhambisana nemikhuba yokuphila enempilo. Ngokwenza ukhilimu we-olive ongavuthiwe ube isidlo esiyisisekelo, wamukela isithako esihlolwe isikhathi eside esesekele amakhulu eminyaka amadili wokudla wendabuko kanye nokuqinisekiswa kwesayensi yesimanje ngokufanayo.
