Je, uko tayari kwa chakula cha jioni cha Krismasi cha asili kilicho na nyama choma, ham, bata mzinga na kujaza, mchuzi, mchuzi wa cranberry, viazi vya kukaanga, karoti, mimea ya Brussels na mboga? Usiruhusu hatia iharibu sherehe zako wakati huu, kwani watafiti wanasema chakula cha jioni cha Krismasi kinaweza kuwa cha afya, haswa kwa vile baadhi ya vyakula vya kitamaduni vina manufaa makubwa kiafya.<\/p>\n

Watafiti kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha Newcastle kutathminiwa<\/a> misombo ya trimmings mbalimbali za Krismasi na kugundua kuwa sahani maarufu ya sherehe ya karoti inaweza kusaidia kupunguza hatari ya saratani.<\/p>\n

Kula sehemu tano za karoti kwa wiki kulipunguza hatari ya aina zote za saratani kwa 20%. Watafiti wanasema hata huduma moja kwa wiki huchangia kupunguza kwa kiasi kikubwa, na hatari ya saratani ya 4% kidogo ikilinganishwa na wale ambao hawala mboga. Matokeo haya yalifanywa baada ya kuchambua karibu tafiti 200 na washiriki milioni 4.7. Matokeo yalichapishwa katika Mapitio Muhimu katika Sayansi ya Chakula na Lishe.<\/p>\n

"Watafiti wengi wamegundua faida za karoti hapo awali, na hii ndio sababu kulikuwa na data nyingi kwetu kuchambua. Hata hivyo, tafiti nyingi za awali zilizingatia beta-carotene, mojawapo ya phytochemicals ya carotenoid ya machungwa, ambayo huwapa karoti za machungwa rangi yao. Kwa bahati mbaya, beta-carotene haikuonyesha athari ya manufaa kwenye saratani katika majaribio yaliyodhibitiwa. Kama matokeo, tulichunguza karoti kutokana na maudhui yake ya aina tofauti ya phytochemicals, polyacetylenes, ambayo haina rangi lakini ina madhara makubwa kwa saratani," alisema kiongozi wa utafiti Charles Ojobor, kutoka Kituo cha Utafiti wa Lishe na Mazoezi ya Binadamu katika Chuo Kikuu cha Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Kuhusu viazi vya kukaanga, watafiti wanapendekeza kupika kwenye kikaangio cha dhahabu kwenye kikaango. Wanapendekeza viazi za jogoo kama aina inayofaa zaidi kwa kuchoma.<\/p>\n

"Viazi jogoo ni bora kwa kutengeneza viazi vya kukaanga vilivyo bora zaidi. Wana ngozi nzuri nyekundu na, zinapochunwa, hufichua rangi ya dhahabu ya kupendeza chini - inayofaa kwa choma chako siku ya Krismasi," Sophia Long, kutoka Kitivo cha Sayansi, Kilimo na Uhandisi katika Chuo Kikuu cha Newcastle alisema.<\/p>\n

Mimea ya Brussels, mboga nyingine ya kawaida inayohusishwa na Krismasi, ni bora zaidi wakati wa kuoka, watafiti walisema.<\/p>\n

"Ukichemsha chipukizi za Brussels basi unapoteza misombo mingi muhimu ndani ya maji. Ukizichoma, zinavunjwa wakati wa kupika, kwa hivyo kuanika ndiko kunakotoa misombo hii ya kitamu na yenye afya katika bidhaa ya mwisho,\u201d alisema Kirsten Brandt, mhadhiri mkuu wa Chakula na Lishe ya Binadamu katika Chuo Kikuu cha Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Timu ya watafiti iliyochunguza aina mbalimbali za kupika chipukizi za Brussels iligundua kuwa mboga hiyo huhifadhi glucosinolates wakati wa kuanika. Glucosinates ni misombo inayojulikana kwa uwezo wao wa kupambana na magonjwa sugu kama vile kisukari na saratani.<\/p>\n

Don't let guilt ruin your festivities this time, as researchers say Christmas dinner can be healthy, particularly since some of the traditional side dishes hold significant health benefits.Researchers from Newcastle University evaluated the compounds of various Christmas trimmings and found that a popular festive side dish of carrots could help reduce cancer risk.Eating five servings of carrots per week brought a 20% reduction in the risk of all types of cancer. Researchers say even one serving per week contributes to a significant reduction, with a 4% less cancer risk compared to those who never eat the vegetable. These findings were made after analyzing around 200 studies with 4.7 million participants. The results were published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition."Many researchers have noticed the benefits of carrots previously, and this is a reason why there was so much data for us to analyze. However, most of the previous studies focused on beta-carotene, one of the orange carotenoid phytochemicals, which give the orange carrots their color. Unfortunately, beta-carotene did not show much beneficial effect on cancer in controlled experiments. As a result, we studied carrots due to their content of a different type of phytochemicals, polyacetylenes, which are colorless but have strong effects on cancer," said study lead Charles Ojobor, from the Human Nutrition and Exercise Research Centre at Newcastle University.Regarding roasted potatoes, researchers recommend cooking them to a golden crisp in an air fryer. They recommend rooster potatoes as the most suitable type for a roast."Rooster potatoes are perfect for making the best roast potato. They have a nice red skin and, when peeled, they reveal a lovely golden color underneath \u2013 perfect for your roasties on Christmas day," said Sophia Long, from the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering at Newcastle University.Brussels sprouts, another classic vegetable associated with Christmas, are best when steamed, the researchers said."If you boil the Brussels sprouts then you lose a lot of the important compounds into the water. If you roast them, they are being broken down during the cooking, so steaming is the one that gives most of these tasty and healthy compounds in the final product," said Kirsten Brandt, a senior lecturer in Food and Human Nutrition at Newcastle University.The research team that looked at various forms of cooking Brussels sprouts found that the vegetable retains its glucosinolates during steaming. Glucosinates are compounds known for their ability to fight chronic conditions such as diabetes and cancer.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/sw\/is-classic-dinner-christmas-health-watafiti-wanasema-baadhi-ya-vyakula-vya-kando-vina-faida-kubwa-kiafya\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-12-19T11:52:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/is-classic-christmas-dinner-healthy-researchers-say-some-side-dishes-offer-significant-health-benefits.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Urban Care Clinic\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"dakika 2\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/is-classic-christmas-dinner-healthy-researchers-say-some-side-dishes-offer-significant-health-benefits\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/is-classic-christmas-dinner-healthy-researchers-say-some-side-dishes-offer-significant-health-benefits\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Urban Care Clinic\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/urbancare.clinic\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930\"},\"headline\":\"Is Classic Christmas Dinner Healthy?
