He aha te Spirulina?
E mōhiotia whānuitia ana a Spirulina ko te "pūpū kikorangi-kakariki," engari i roto i te pūtaiao, nō te phylum Cyanobacteria—he rōpū rauropi prokaryotic (kāore he karihi e herea ana e te kiriuhi) kaua ko te pūpū tūturu. Hei tētahi o ngā momo ora whakaahua tawhito rawa atu i runga i te Ao, me te hītori whanaketanga e anga atu ana ki te 3.5 piriona tau, kua urutau ki te tupu i roto i ngā taiao tino kino pērā i ngā roto kawakore, ngā wai mātao, tae atu ki ngā rohe maroke me te hihi kaha o te rā. Ko te ingoa "cyanobacteria" i ahu mai i tō rātou tae kikorangi āhua, e pā ana ki te phycocyanin—he tae wairewa-wai e mahi tahi ana me te chlorophyll (e tuku ana i te kakariki) hei akiaki i te whakaahua. I raro i te karuārai, ka hangaia e ngā miro o te spirulina he āhua porowhita, he āhua porowhita rānei, koinei te take i puta ai tōna ingoa noa ("ko te spirulina" i ahu mai i te kupu Latina mō te "porowhita").
I te taha hokohoko, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia ngā kupu "cyanobacteria" me te "spirulina" hei tohu i te rauropi kotahi i whakatipuria - ko ngā momo pēnei i te Arthrospira platensis me te Arthrospira maxima, e mōhiotia ana mō ō rātou uara kai me te haumaru. I whakatipuria puta noa i te ao i roto i ngā puna kawakore, i ngā bioreactor rānei e whakahaeretia ana, ka hauhaketia te spirulina, ka whakamarokehia, ka tukatukahia hei paura, hei papa, hei kāpū, hei tangohanga rānei hei whakamahi i roto i ngā tāpiringa, kai, inu, me ngā mea whakapaipai. Nā tōna huinga ahurei o ngā takenga mai onamata, ngā āhuatanga tinana motuhake, me ngā painga kai tino pai kua waiho hei mea nui i roto i te umanga hauora me te oranga.
Te Whai Huatanga me ngā Pānga o te Spirulina
1. Whakarei ake i te Ārai Mate o te Tangata
He kai tino whai kiko te Spirulina, he nui ngā matūkai, he nui ngā pūmua tipu kounga teitei (e 60-70% o tōna taumaha maroke), ngā waikawa amino nui katoa, he whānuitanga o ngā huānga iti (pērā i te rino, te konutea, te selenium, me te konupora), ngā huaora wairewa-ngako me te wairewa-wai (tae atu ki ngā huaora matatini-B, huaora C, huaora E, me te beta-carotene), me ngā matū koiora pērā i te phycocyanin, te polysaccharides, me te chlorophyll. Ka mahi tahi ēnei matūkai hei tautoko i te mahi ārai mate: ko te pūmua tipu me ngā waikawa amino hei poraka hanga mō ngā pūtau ārai mate (hei tauira, ngā lymphocytes, ngā macrophages) me ngā paturopi, ko ngā polysaccharides me te phycocyanin ka whakaoho i te tipu me te mahi a ngā pūtau hinu wheua—he mea nui mō te whakaputa i ngā pūtau e pā ana ki te ārai mate. Hei tāpiri, mā te whakatairanga i te hanga koiora o ngā pūmua toto (tae atu ki ngā globulins e whai wāhi nui ana ki te parepare ārai mate), ka whakapakari te spirulina i te kaha tūturu o te tinana ki te ātete i ngā pathogens, te whakaiti i te ngawari ki ngā mate, me te whakarei ake i te manawanui whānui o te ārai mate.
2. Whakapai ake i te kore kai a ngā tamariki
He motuhake ngā matea kai a ngā tamariki i roto i te wā tipu me te whanaketanga, ā, ka whakatikahia e te spirulina ngā āputa e kitea pinepine ana i roto i ngā kai auau. He nui ngā waikawa amino pēnei i te lysine me te tryptophan—ngā matūkai kāore e ranea i roto i ngā kai matua pēnei i te raihi me te witi—me te whānuitanga o ngā huaora (ina koa ko te B12, he onge i roto i ngā kai tipu, me te huaora A mō te hauora o ngā kanohi). Ka whakaratohia hoki e ia he kohuke tino wātea ki te koiora, tae atu ki te rino, te konutea, me te konupūmā, he mea nui mō te whanaketanga o te wheua, te tipu hinengaro, me te mahi pākia. Hei tāpiringa kai taiao, ngāwari ki te nakunaku, ka ārai pai te spirulina i ngā ngoikoretanga noa i roto i ngā tamariki e tipu haere ana, pēnei i te anemia ngoikore-rino (he take matua o te ngenge me te kore aro), te korenga o te konutea (e pā ana ki te tipu whakaroa me te ngoikore o te ārai mate), me te korenga o te konupūmā (he mea nui mō te hauora o te wheua me te niho). Nā tōna reka ngawari me te kakano pai ka ngāwari te whakauru ki roto i ngā kai a ngā tamariki, pēnei i te porridge, te smoothies, te kai penupenu rānei, hei tautoko i te whanaketanga hauora tinana me te hinengaro.
3. Tautoko i te Hauora o te Whatukuhu
He maha ngā wā ka puta te mate tākihi mai i te mumura mau tonu, te kohikohinga o ngā paitini i roto i te toto, te ngoikore rānei o te mahi purenga toto—ngā take ka taea e te spirulina te āwhina ki te whakatika mā roto i tōna āhua matūkai ahurei. Ko te chlorophyll i roto i te spirulina he mahi tango paitini taiao, e herea ana ki ngā konganuku taumaha, ngā para pākia, me ngā matū kino i roto i te toto, e āwhina ana i te whakakorenga i roto i ngā pūnaha nakunaku me te mimi. Ka whakaitihia e tēnei te taumahatanga ki ngā tākihi, e kawenga ana mō te tātari i ngā paitini toto. Hei tāpiri, ko te nui o ngā waikawa amino nui me te iti o ngā taumata purine (ngā hua pākia ka taea te whakararu i te mahi tākihi) ka waiho hei puna pūmua pai mō te tākihi, ka karo i te taumahatanga nui ki ngā kiko tākihi. Ko te Phycocyanin, tōna matū koiora matua, he āhuatanga anti-inflammatory hoki, e āwhina ana ki te whakamamae i te mumura ngawari i roto i ngā kiko tākihi me te tautoko i te whakahokinga mai o te mahi tākihi noa. Ahakoa ehara i te mea hei whakakapi mō te maimoatanga hauora mō ngā mate tākihi kino, ka taea e te spirulina te mahi hei tautoko kai tāpiri hei whakatairanga i te hauora tākihi ina whakamahia i raro i te aratohu ngaio.
