Amantongomane awumthombo ophelele wamaprotheni, i-fiber, amavithamini, amaminerali, amafutha nezinye izinto zezitshalo ezibalulekile ezilungele uhlelo lwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Banezela ukudla okunomsoco ekudleni, futhi ukusetshenziswa kwabo njalo kunciphisa ingozi yesifo senhliziyo. Kodwa-ke, abantu abalahlekelwa isisindo bazama ukugwema ukudla amantongomane ngenxa yokuqukethwe kwawo kwekhalori. Eqinisweni, ukungezwa njalo kwamantongomane ekudleni kusiza ukulawula isisindo nokuvimbela ukukhuluphala. Lesi senzo sijwayelekile cishe kuzo zonke izinhlobo zamantongomane.
Ucwaningo ngamantongomane nokuzuza kwesisindo Kumagazini ka-September we-Journal of Nutrition, kwanyatheliswa isihloko esithi ukusetshenziswa njalo kwamantongomane akuholeli ekukhuleni kwesisindo futhi kusiza ekunciphiseni isisindo somzimba. Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa kuyi-American Journal of Clinical Nutrition lwathola ukuthi abesifazane abadla amantongomane izikhathi ezimbili noma ngaphezulu ngesonto babenengozi ephansi yokukhuluphala futhi bathola isisindo esincane phakathi nenkathi yeminyaka engu-8, uma kuqhathaniswa nabesifazane ababengavamile ukwengeza amantongomane. ekudleni. Kodwa-ke, kuvele ukuthi amantongomane aphansi kunezinye izinhlobo zamantongomane kulokhu. Yiqiniso, abantu abadla amantongomane babevame ukudla izithelo nemifino eyengeziwe, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi babhemile, okuyizici okungenzeka zibe nomthelela emiphumeleni yocwaningo. Imiphumela yokudla amantongomane Isiphetho esingalindelekile ososayensi abafika kuso ukuthi amantongomane anekhalori ephezulu awaholeli ekuzuzeni isisindo okulindelekile. Enye incazelo engenzeka yaleli qiniso ukuthi amaprotheni, amafutha, kanye ne-fiber etholakala kumantongomane kukwenza uzizwe ugcwele, okulawula ukudla kwakho ngemva kokuwadla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akunakwenzeka ukuhlafuna amantongomane ngokugcwele, ngakho amaphesenti angu-10 kuya kwangu-20 amafutha akhishwa emzimbeni. Futhi ekugcineni, ezinye izifundo zithi ama-calories atholakala kumantongomane awuhlobo olushiswa umzimba ngesikhathi sokuphumula. Nokho, leli qiniso alikakafakazelwa ngokugcwele.
