ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi
Ua hōʻike ka noiʻi hou i ka hiki ke hoʻohana millets i nā meaʻai lapaʻau. Loaʻa i nā millet kekahi mau phytochemical bioactive e like me feraxans, lignans, ß-glucan, inulin, starch kūpaʻa, sterols a me nā pūhui phenolic (e laʻa, ferulic acid, caffeic acid a me quercetin). Ua kākoʻo nā haʻawina i ka hana o nā polyphenols i ka antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral a me nā hana neuroprotective, i hōʻike ʻia he mea pono i ka maʻi cardiovascular, diabetes, ke koko kiʻekiʻe, ka cholesterol kiʻekiʻe, nā maʻi inflammatory, metabolic syndrome. Eia pehea e hiki ai i ka millet ke hoʻōla i kekahi mau maʻi ola.
ʻO India ka lua kiʻekiʻe o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi ma hope o Kina me 77 miliona mau India i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ia. ʻO ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ʻano ola me ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai ke kī nui i ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi diabetes type 2. ʻO ke kiʻekiʻe o ka fiber i loko o nā millet e kōkua i ka hoʻokuʻu lohi ʻana o nā kō i loko o ke kahe koko e mālama ana i kahi pae haʻahaʻa post prandial glucose. Ke kākoʻo nei nā huaora B i loko o nā millet i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka waiʻapona maikaʻi loa a ʻo ka mea hope e lilo nā millets i meaʻai glycemic haʻahaʻa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka maʻi diabetes type 2.
Wahi a ka India Council of Medical Research a me Registrar General o India, ʻo India kahi kokoke i 60% o ke kaumaha o ka maʻi puʻuwai o ka honua. Loaʻa i nā Millets ka nui o ka magnesium, i ʻike ʻia e hōʻemi i nā hopena o ka puʻuwai puʻuwai. ʻIke ʻia ke ʻano antioxidant o nā millet e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kaumaha oxidative a ʻo ka fiber i loko o ia mau mea e kōkua i ka hōʻemi i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o ka cholesterol maikaʻi ʻole (LDL) a hoʻonui i ka cholesterol maikaʻi (HDL). ʻO ka fiber i loko o nā millet kekahi e kōkua i ka hoʻopaneʻe ʻana i ka lawe ʻana o ka cholesterol, ka momona ʻai a me ka glucose, no laila e kōkua ai i ke olakino puʻuwai.
Wahi a ka National Family Health Survey-5, 24% o nā kāne a me 21% o nā wahine ma mua o 15 mau makahiki ma India he hypertensive. ʻO ke koko kiʻekiʻe kahi kumu pilikia no nā maʻi puʻuwai a me ka hahau. ʻO ka meaʻai DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) paipai i ka ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa kiʻekiʻe. Hōʻike ka noiʻi i nā pono o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka millet i ka mālama ʻana i ka hypertension. ʻO nā millet ka waiwai i ka fiber meaʻai a loaʻa kekahi mau antioxidants a me nā micronutrients e like me ka magnesium a me ka calcium i kūpono i ka mālama ʻana i ke koko maʻamau. Hāʻawi pū lākou i kahi ʻike lipid serum maikaʻi.
ʻIke ʻia ka intolerance Gluten i ka poʻe me nā maʻi ʻōpū e like me ka maʻi Celiac. ʻO Gliadin i ka palaoa, ka horedein i ka bale, ka secalin i ka rai a me ka avenin i loko o ka oats mai ka ʻohana o nā protein gluten e hoʻoulu ai i ka mumū ma ka ʻāpana o loko o ka ʻōpū i ka poʻe intolerant gluten. ʻO ka lilo ʻana i nā millet free gluten ma ke ʻano he pani maikaʻi loa no nā kīʻaha cereal i ka poʻe e loaʻa ana i ka maʻi Celiac.
