Yintoni iSpirulina?
I-Spirulina idla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi-"algae eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka," kodwa ngokwesayensi, ikwi-phylum Cyanobacteria—iqela lezinto eziphilayo ze-prokaryotic (ezingenayo i-nucleus ebotshelelwe yi-membrane) endaweni ye-algae yokwenyani. Njengenye yezona zinto zindala zidalwa kwi-photosynthesis eMhlabeni, enembali yokuzivelela eqala kwiminyaka engaphezu kwe-3.5 yeebhiliyoni, iye yaziqhelanisa nokuhlala kwiindawo ezixineneyo ezifana namachibi e-alkaline, amanzi amdaka, nakwiindawo ezomileyo ezinelanga elinamandla. Igama elithi "cyanobacteria" livela kumbala wazo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, obangelwa yi-phycocyanin—umbala onyibilikayo emanzini osebenza kunye ne-chlorophyll (enika uhlaza) ukuqhuba i-photosynthesis. Phantsi kwe-microscope, ii-filaments ze-spirulina zenza iimilo ezijikelezayo okanye ezijikelezekileyo, yindlela efumana ngayo igama layo eliqhelekileyo (“spirulina” livela kwigama lesiLatini elithi “spiral”).
Kwintengiso, amagama athi “cyanobacteria” kunye “spirulina” adla ngokusetyenziswa ngokutshintshana, ebhekisa kwindalo enye etyaliweyo—ngokuyintloko iintlobo ezifana neArthrospira platensis kunye neArthrospira maxima, ezaziwa ngexabiso lazo eliphezulu lesondlo kunye nokhuseleko. Ikhuliswa kwihlabathi liphela kumachibi alawulwayo e-alkaline okanye kwi-bioreactors, i-spirulina iyavunwa, yomiswe, kwaye icutshungulwe ibe yimipuphu, iipilisi, iikhaphu, okanye izicatshulwa ukuze isetyenziswe kwizongezo, ukutya, iziselo, kunye nezinto zokuthambisa. Udibaniso lwayo olwahlukileyo lwemvelaphi yamandulo, iimpawu zomzimba ezahlukileyo, kunye neenzuzo zesondlo ezibalaseleyo zenze ukuba ibe yinto ephambili kwishishini lezempilo nempilo-ntle.
Ukusebenza kakuhle kweSpirulina kunye neziphumo zayo
1. Yomeleza Ukhuseleko Lomzimba Lomntu
I-Spirulina iphuma phambili njenge-superfood egcwele izondlo, egcwele iproteni yezityalo ekumgangatho ophezulu (eyi-60-70% yobunzima bayo obomileyo), zonke ii-amino acid ezibalulekileyo, uluhlu olubanzi lwezinto ezilandelelanayo (ezifana ne-iron, i-zinc, i-selenium, kunye ne-magnesium), iivithamini ezinyibilikayo kumafutha nezinyibilikayo emanzini (kubandakanya iivithamini ze-B-complex, i-vitamin C, i-vitamin E, kunye ne-beta-carotene), kunye neekhompawundi ezisebenzayo ezifana ne-phycocyanin, i-polysaccharides, kunye ne-chlorophyll. Ezi zondlo zisebenza ngokubambisana ukuxhasa umsebenzi wokuzikhusela komzimba: iiproteni zezityalo kunye nee-amino acids zisebenza njengeebhloko zokwakha iiseli zokuzikhusela komzimba (umz., ii-lymphocytes, ii-macrophages) kunye nee-antibodies, ngelixa ii-polysaccharides kunye ne-phycocyanin zikhuthaza ukwanda kunye nomsebenzi weeseli zomongo wethambo—isitshixo sokuvelisa iiseli ezinxulumene nokuzikhusela komzimba. Ukongeza, ngokukhuthaza i-biosynthesis yeeproteni ze-serum (kubandakanya ii-globulin ezidlala indima ebalulekileyo ekukhuseleni umzimba), i-spirulina yomeleza amandla endalo omzimba okuxhathisa iintsholongwane, ukunciphisa ukuchasana nosulelo, kunye nokuphucula ukuqina komzimba ngokubanzi.
2. Iphucula ukungondleki kwabantwana
Abantwana abakwinqanaba labo lokukhula nophuhliso banezidingo ezikhethekileyo zesondlo, kwaye i-spirulina ijongana nezikhewu ezifumaneka rhoqo kwizidlo eziqhelekileyo. Ngokwendalo ininzi kwi-amino acids ezifana ne-lysine kunye ne-tryptophan—izondlo ezihlala zinganeli kukutya okuqhelekileyo okufana nerayisi nengqolowa—kunye noluhlu olupheleleyo lweevithamini (ingakumbi i-B12, enqabileyo kwizidlo ezisekelwe kwizityalo, kunye ne-vitamin A kwimpilo yamehlo). Ikwabonelela ngeeminerali ezifumaneka kakhulu kwi-bio, kubandakanya i-iron, i-zinc, kunye ne-calcium, ezibalulekileyo ekuphuhlisweni kwamathambo, ukukhula kwengqondo, kunye nokusebenza kwe-metabolic. Njengesongezelelo sesondlo sendalo, esilula ukusikwa, i-spirulina ithintela ngempumelelo ukusilela okuqhelekileyo kubantwana abakhulayo, njenge-anemia yokunqongophala kwe-iron (imbangela ephambili yokudinwa kunye nokugxila okungalunganga), ukunqongophala kwe-zinc (okunxulunyaniswa nokukhula okulibazisekileyo kunye nomzimba obuthathaka), kunye nokunqongophala kwe-calcium (okubalulekileyo kwimpilo yamathambo namazinyo). Incasa yayo ethambileyo kunye nokuthungwa kwayo okuhle kwenza kube lula ukuyifaka kwizidlo zabantwana, njenge-porridge, ii-smoothies, okanye ukutya okucoliweyo, okuxhasa uphuhliso olusempilweni lomzimba nengqondo.
3. Ixhasa impilo yezintso
Isifo sezintso sidla ngokuvela ekuvuvukeni okungapheliyo, ukuqokelelwa kwetyhefu egazini, okanye umsebenzi wokucoca igazi ongasebenzi kakuhle—iingxaki ezinokuthi i-spirulina ikwazi ukuzilungisa ngeprofayili yayo yezakhamzimba eyahlukileyo. I-chlorophyll ekwi-spirulina isebenza njengesicoci sendalo, ibopha kwiintsimbi ezinzima, inkunkuma ye-metabolic, kunye nezinto eziyingozi egazini, inceda ekususweni kwazo kwiinkqubo zokugaya ukutya kunye nomchamo. Oku kunciphisa umthwalo kwizintso, ezinoxanduva lokucoca iityhefu zegazi. Ukongeza, umxholo otyebileyo we-spirulina wee-amino acid ezibalulekileyo kunye namanqanaba aphantsi e-purines (iimveliso ze-metabolic ezinokucinezela ukusebenza kwezintso) zenza ukuba ibe ngumthombo weproteni olungele izintso, iphephe uxinzelelo olugqithisileyo kwizicubu zezintso. I-Phycocyanin, eyona nto iphambili kwi-bioactive compound, ikwabonisa iipropati zokulwa nokuvuvukala, inceda ekunciphiseni ukudumba okuncinci kwizicubu zezintso kwaye ixhase ukubuyiselwa komsebenzi oqhelekileyo wezintso. Nangona ingeyonto ithatha indawo yonyango lwezonyango kwiimeko zezintso ezinzima, i-spirulina inokusebenza njengenkxaso yesondlo eyongezelelweyo ukukhuthaza impilo yezintso xa isetyenziswa phantsi kwesikhokelo sobungcali.
