Amafutha omnqumo angavamile (Extra virgin olive oil) ayisikhathi eside edunyiswa njengesisekelo sokudla kwaseMedithera, edunyiswa ngokunambitheka kwawo okukhethekile nezinzuzo ezimangalisayo zezempilo. Kodwa yini eyenza la mafutha abe akhethekile kangaka, futhi ingabe ngempela alungele wena? Kulesi sihloko, sihlola izakhiwo ezinamandla zezempilo zamahlathini omnqumo angavamile, sichaza izinto ezibalulekile ezibangela izinzuzo zawo nokuthi zibandakanyeka kanjani enhlalakahleni yonke. Siphinde sigcizelele ukuthi ikhwalithi nokuhlanzeka kwamafutha kuthinta kanjani ukusebenza kwawo, nokuthi kungani ukukhetha amafutha omnqumo angavamile, njengalawo akhuthazwa yizinhlobo ezihlonishwayo ezifana ne-Wanliangang, kubalulekile. Qhubeka ufunde ukuze uthole izizathu ezinhlanu ezihehayo zokuthi kungani ukufaka amafutha omnqumo angavamile ekudleni kwakho kungase kuphakamise impilo yakho futhi kuvikele ezifweni ezingapheli.

I-Extra virgin olive oil ihlukile kwabanye amafutha okupheka ngenxa yokuba namazinga aphezulu ezithako eziphilayo ezinomthelela ezicini zayo zokuthuthukisa impilo. Okokuqala, inamafutha amaningi anama-monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), ikakhulukazi i-oleic acid, edlala indima ebalulekile empilweni yenhliziyo neyomzimba. Ngaphezu kwamafutha anempilo, i-extra virgin olive oil iqukethe izinhlobonhlobo zamavithamini nama-antioxidants avikela umzimba ekucindezelekeni okubangelwa yi-oxidative nokuvuvukala.

Elinye lamaqembu ambalwa emakhemikhali yi-phenolic antioxidants, afaka i-hydroxytyrosol ne-oleuropein. Lezi antioxidants zisiza ukulwa namagciwane amabi, okunganciphisa ingozi yezifo ezingapheli njengezinkinga zenhliziyo nomdlavuza othile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uwoyela omnqumo ongahluziwe uqukethe izinto ezibalulekile ezilwa nokuvuvukala njenge-oleocanthal, ezihlotshaniswa nezinzuzo ekugwemeni izifo zobuchopho. Amavithamini E no-K, nawo akhona kuwoyela, anikela ngokuvikela okwengeziwe kwe-antioxidant futhi asekele imisebenzi ebalulekile emzimbeni njengokuqina kwegazi.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwe-MUFA, ama-antioxidant, namavithamini ku-oli ye-oli ye-virgin eyengeziwe kunikeza ukuzivikela okunamandla ezinkingeni ezahlukahlukene zezempilo. Izifundo zibonise ukuthi ukudla i-oli ye-oli ye-virgin eyengeziwe njalo kunganciphisa ukugqwala kwe-LDL cholesterol, kuthuthukise ukusebenza kwe-endothelial, futhi kunciphise umfutho wegazi, konke lokhu okufaka isandla empilweni yenhliziyo nemithambo. Izakhiwo zayo ezilwa nokuvuvukala nazo zisiza ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala okungapheli, okuyimbangela eyinhloko yezifo eziningi zesimanje.

Ngaphandle kwezempilo yenhliziyo, lezi zinhlanganisela zingasiza ekuvikelweni kwengqondo. I-Oleocanthal itholakele ilingisa isenzo se-ibuprofen, inciphisa ukuvuvukala ebuchosheni futhi inganciphisa ingozi yesifo i-Alzheimer. Ngaleso sikhathi, ama-antioxidant alwa nokucindezeleka kwe-oxidative, isici esikhulu ekugugeni nasekukhahlamezekeni kwamaseli.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, uvithamini E kuwoyela omnqumo oluhlaza okwengeziwe usiza impilo yesikhumba nomsebenzi womzimba wokuzivikela, kanti uvithamini K udlala indima ebalulekile ekwakhekeni kwamathambo nasekuqinisweni kwegazi, kuqinisekisa ukulingana komzimba wonke. Ukufaka lo oyela ekudleni okunomsoco kungakho-ke kunikeza izinzuzo zezempilo ezibanzi, kuqinisa inani lokudla kwaseMedithera.

Izakhi ze-phenolic njenge-hydroxytyrosol kumafutha omnqumo we-extra virgin ama-antioxidant anamandla asiza ukubulala ama-free radicals. Lezi molecule zivikela amaseli ekulimaleni kwe-oxidative, zisekela impilo yesikhathi eside futhi zinciphisa ingozi yezifo ezingapheli ezihlobene ne-oxidative stress.

I-Oleocanthal, into yemvelo elwa nokuvuvukala etholakala emafutheni omnqumo acwilisiwe, inemiphumela efana neyezidakamizwa ezingelona i-steroidal ezilwa nokuvuvukala (NSAIDs). Indima yayo ekwehliseni ukuvuvukala ibalulekile, ikakhulukazi ekuvikeleni izifo ezifana ne-Alzheimer's, lapho ukuvuvukala kobuchopho kuyisici esibalulekile.

Ama-MUFA, ikakhulukazi i-oleic acid, enza ingxenye enkulu yamafutha emafutheni omnqumo acwilisiwe. Lawa mafutha anempilo asiza ukugcina amazinga ama-cholesterol alungile, anciphise ukuvuvukala, futhi athuthukise ukuzwela kwe-insulin, konke lokhu kubalulekile empilweni yenhliziyo nemithambo kanye ne-metabolic.

Njenge-antioxidant encibilika emafutheni, i-vitamin E emafutheni omnqumo acwilisiwe ivikela ama-lipids ekugugulekeni, isekela uhlelo lokuzivikela komzimba, futhi iqhuba impilo yesikhumba. Izakhiwo zayo ze-antioxidant zihambisana nezama-phenolics ukuze kuthuthukiswe imiphumela yempilo kawoyela iyonke.

Uvithamini K ubalulekile ekujiyeni kwegazi nempilo yamathambo. Uwoyela omnqumo oluhlaza okwengeziwe uhlinzeka ngomthombo walo uvithamini, usiza imisebenzi efanele yomzimba futhi unciphisa ingozi yezinkinga zokopha.

Izinzuzo zezempilo ezihlanganisiwe zamafutha omnqumo we-extra virgin zisekelwa ubufakazi besayensi obubonisa indima yawo ekuvikelweni kwezinhliziyo nemithambo yegazi, isenzo sokulwa nokuvuvukala, ukuzivikela komzimba kumagciwane, ukusekelwa kwengqondo, kanye nempilo yonke. Ngokufaka amafutha omnqumo we-extra virgin asezingeni eliphezulu ekudleni kwakho, ungazuza lezi zinzuzo futhi ube nengxenye endleleni yokuphila enempilo. Kulabo abanesithakazelo emikhiqizweni esezingeni eliphezulu, eyiqiniso yamafutha omnqumo we-extra virgin, i-Wanliangang inikeza ukukhetha okuthembekile okugcizelela ikhwalithi, ubumsulwa, kanye nezinqubo zokukhiqiza ezinobungani nemvelo. Ukuzibophezela kwabo ekuqiniseni kuqinisekisa ukuthi uthola zonke izinzuzo zezempilo ezinganikezwa yila mafutha akhethekile.

Ukuze ufunde kabanzi ngezici zezempilo zamafutha omnqumo nezinye izihloko ezihlobene, vakashela ikhasi le-Ikhaya ukuze uthole izindatshana eziningi eziwusizo nolwazi ngemikhiqizo. Ukuze uthole imininingwane ngomsebenzi wenkampani namagugu ayo, hlola ikhasi le-Mayelana Nathi. Uma unentshisekelo yokuthenga noma ukuhlola imikhiqizo yabo, ikhasi le-Imikhiqizo linikeza uhlu oluphelele namadili. Hlala unolwazi ngezindaba zakamuva kwezempilo nokudla okunomsoco ngokuvakashela isigaba se-Izindaba, futhi uthole ulwazi lokusekelwa nezinsizakalo zamakhasimende ekhasini le-Ukusekelwa ikhasi.
