Ukudla ushokoledi akuvamile ukudikibala, futhi manje ucwaningo olusha lusikisela ukuthi ukudla ushokoledi kungasisiza ukuba sehlise isisindo, ngisho noma singehli kusofa. Ngaphezu kokunciphisa i-cholesterol embi. Kodwa yonke into inombhalo omncane futhi ukuthi lolu phenyo lwenza kucace ukuthi hlobo luni lukashokoledi kanye nenani.
Ushokoledi udlule ezifundeni ezihlukahlukene, kusukela ekubeni ukudla okwehla esiphundu kuya ekuvinjelweni ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwawo ushukela omningi, kodwa kufanele sicacelwe ukuthi kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zikashokoledi futhi iqiniso elibaluleke kakhulu okumelwe silazi yiphesenti likakhokho.
Njalo gwema amabha kashokholethi namaphilisi kashokoledi wobisi nezinye izithasiselo. Inketho engcono kakhulu i-cocoa ehlanzekile futhi amaphilisi okungenani 70% cocoa, futhi uma banamantongomane njengama-alimondi, kungcono.
Ucwaningo lubonisa lokho ushokoledi omnyama nge-70% noma ngaphezulu i-cocoa ngumkhiqizo ocebile kakhulu kuma-flavonoids, okuyinhlanganisela exhunywe engozini ephansi yezinkinga zenhliziyo. Kukhona futhi izifundo ezibonisa ukuthi i-cocoa ehlanzekile yehlisa umfutho wegazi kanye nokumelana ne-insulin.
Okuthile okufanayo kwase kushicilelwe kakade ku-Journal of the American Heart Association eminyakeni embalwa edlule, lapho babethule khona ushokoledi omnyama nama-alimondi aluhlaza ekudleni kwabantu abakhuluphele. Lokhu kuholele ekutheni ababambiqhaza behlise i-cholesterol yabo embi ngaphandle kokushiya usofa.
Olunye ucwaningo olwenziwe kule minyaka eyishumi edlule luphakamisa ukuthi lokhu kudla kuthuthukisa ukugeleza kwegazi ebuchosheni kanye nezinzuzo ezehlukene zokuqonda ezifana phuthukisa inkumbulo, ukusebenza okungcono ekuhlolweni, ukucutshungulwa okusheshayo kolwazi, ukuma kwenhliziyo okungcono, njll.
Kukhona futhi ochwepheshe abangabazayo futhi bakholelwa ukuthi ubufakazi bokuthi i-cocoa ehlanzekile buseyivelakancane, noma kunjalo, ucwaningo olusha lusanda kuphuma oluveza izinzuzo ezintsha ze-cocoa maqondana nempilo yenhliziyo.
Ku Ijenali Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yesayensi Yokuzivocavoca ingafundwa njenge inani elincane le-chocolate elihlanzekile ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa lisiza ukunciphisa umzimba ekuphumuleni.
Ukuhlolwa kwenziwa nabesifazane futhi kwathatha izinsuku ezingama-28. Ababefuna ukukuhlola ukuthi i-cocoa emsulwa ibe nomthelela kanjani ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla ngesikhathi sokuphumula nokuzivocavoca.
Phakathi nophenyo, kwakhethwa abesifazane abangu-18 abasesimweni esihle ngokomzimba futhi bafakwa kwelinye lamaqembu amabili. Kwelinye iqembu wanikezwa 20 amagremu kashokoledi omsulwa izinsuku ezingu-28 okufanele zithathwe ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa, futhi elinye iqembu lanikezwa inani elilinganayo (ngama-calories) likashokoledi omhlophe njenge-placebo.
Phakathi nezinsuku ezingama-28, la maqembu amabili aqopha ukusetshenziswa kwawo kwamandla ngesikhathi sokuphumula nangesikhathi sokuzivocavoca. Ekugcineni, iqembu elalidle ukhokho omnyama labhalisa a Ukwanda kwe-10% kumetabolism yakho uma kuqhathaniswa neqembu eliphambene elingazange lishintshe lutho.
Ngokuphathelene nezindleko zamandla phakathi nezikhathi zokuzivocavoca okukhulu, ucwaningo lunquma ukuthi kwakungekho ushintsho. I-caffeine ku-cocoa yiyona ebangele ukuthi i-metabolism ikhule ngesikhathi sokuphumula, kodwa ama-ounces angu-4 e-cocoa emnyama mancane kakhulu ukufeza imiphumela ebaluleke kangaka, abacwaningi bathi.
Ucwaningo luphetha ngokuthi kungenzeka kakhulu ukuthi ama-flavonoid akhuphula izinga le-metabolism nokuthi izifundo zesikhathi esizayo zingathola ubudlelwano phakathi kukashokoledi omsulwa nokuncipha kwesisindo.
