He aha ka mea e hana maoli ai i ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai? E aʻo kākou e pili ana i kāu ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe ma ke ʻano maʻalahi!

Ua noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe i ka mea e hana ʻia i ka meaʻai ʻono a mākou e ʻai ai ma hope o ko mākou hoʻokomo ʻana i loko o ko mākou waha? Ke komo wale nei anei ia i loko o ko mākou ʻōpū a nalowale? ʻAʻole loa! He ʻōnaehana kupaianaha a paʻakikī ko ko mākou kino e hoʻololi i kēia meaʻai i ikehu a me ka meaʻai no ko mākou kino. ʻO kēia ka mea a mākou e kapa nei ʻo ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe . Ua like ia me kahi hale hana nui i loko o ko mākou kino!

He aha maoli ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe ʻana he ʻōnaehana e wāwahi ana i ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi a hoʻohana iā lākou e hāʻawi i ko mākou kino i ka wahie a me nā meaʻai e pono ai lākou e ola a hana. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ia mea, pono ʻoe i ka ikehu e holo, lele, noʻonoʻo, heluhelu, a me kēia mau mea a pau. Loaʻa iā mākou kēlā ikehu mai ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai. Ke wāwahi ʻia kēia meaʻai, loaʻa iā mākou nā mea e like me kēia:

• ʻO nā protein a mākou e ʻai ai, e like me ka ʻiʻo, ka iʻa, nā hua manu, a me nā lentil, hāʻawi mai iā mākou i nā "amino acids." ʻO kēia nā mea e kōkua ai i ke kūkulu ʻana a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā cell i loko o ke kino.
• ʻO nā meaʻai starch a mākou e ʻai ai, e like me ka laiki, ka berena, a me ka ʻuala, hāʻawi mai i nā "kō maʻalahi" (e like me ka glucose). ʻO kēia nā mea e hāʻawi koke i ka ikehu i ko mākou kino.
• ʻO nā momona a mākou e ʻai ai, e like me ka ʻaila, ka pata, a me nā iʻa momona, hāʻawi lākou i nā "ʻakika momona" a me ka "glycerol." Hāʻawi kēia i ka ikehu, kōkua i ke kino e omo i kekahi mau huaora, a kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā paia o nā cell.

No laila, ua like kēia kaʻina hana holoʻokoʻa me ka lawe ʻana i kahi ʻāpana meaʻai nui, e wāwahi ana i mau ʻāpana liʻiliʻi, e unuhi ana i ke ʻano mai ia mea, a e hoʻolei aku i waho i nā mea i makemake ʻole ʻia i koe.

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i nā ʻāpana nui o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe?

ʻElua ʻāpana nui o kā mākou ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe ʻana: 1. ʻAlawai ʻAi: Ua like kēia me kahi paipu lōʻihi. ʻO kēia ke ala e hele ai ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai. 2. Nā ʻōpū koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e kōkua ana i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana: Kōkua kēlā me kēia o kēia mau ʻōpū i ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka meaʻai ma o ka hana ʻana i nā "enzymes" a me nā kemika like ʻole. I kēia manawa, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēlā me kēia o kēia mau ʻāpana me ka kikoʻī iki aʻe, ʻeā?

ʻAlawai ʻAi - Ua like ia me kahi paipu lōʻihi!

Ua kapa ʻia hoʻi kēia ʻo ke "ʻala ʻai". He paipu lōʻihi loa ia. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o kou manaʻo! ʻO ke ala ʻai o kahi kanaka makua ma kahi o 30 kapuaʻi (ʻo ia hoʻi ma kahi o 9 mika) ka lōʻihi! E noʻonoʻo, ʻelua ka lōʻihi o kahi lumi maʻamau! Hoʻomaka kēia paipu ma ka waha a hoʻopau i ka anus (kahi a mākou e hoʻokuʻu ai i nā feces). Ma ke ala, hele ka meaʻai ma nā kikowaena koʻikoʻi he nui. E nānā kākou i kēlā mau kikowaena:

• 1. Waha: Maanei e hoʻomaka ai ka huakaʻi meaʻai. Nau nā niho i ka meaʻai i mau ʻāpana liʻiliʻi. Hoʻoneʻe ke alelo i ka meaʻai a puni a hui pū me ka lawai. ʻO ka lawai, ka mea i puka mai mai nā ʻōpū lawai, aia nā enzymes e hoʻomaka i ka hana mua o ka ʻai ʻana. Kōkua pū ka lawai i ka maʻalahi o ka ale ʻana i ka meaʻai.

• 2. ʻEsophagus: ʻO kēia ka ʻōmole e lawe ana i ka meaʻai mai ka waha a i ka ʻōpū. Ua like ia me kahi ʻōmole ʻiʻo e hoʻokuke ana i ka meaʻai i lalo. Ma hope o kou moni ʻana i ka meaʻai, ʻūlū nā ʻiʻo o kēia ʻōmole a hoʻomaha me ka ʻike ʻole ʻoe, e hoʻouna ana i ka meaʻai i loko o ka ʻōpū. Ua kapa ʻia kēia he `(peristalsis)`.

• 3. ʻŌpū: ʻO kēia ka ʻeke liʻiliʻi i loko o ko kākou ʻōpū. Ke hiki mai ka meaʻai ma ʻaneʻi, ua noho ia ma laila no kekahi mau hola. ʻO nā waikawa ikaika ( hydrochloric acid) a me nā enzymes (e like me ka pepsin) i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e nā paia o ka ʻōpū e wāwahi hou aku i ka meaʻai a hoʻolilo iā ia i paʻi wai. Ua like ka ʻōpū me ka mea hui, e kāwili maikaʻi ana i ka meaʻai. Manaʻo paha ʻoe ʻaʻole e hōʻino ʻia ka ʻōpū e kēia mau waikawa ikaika a pau. Loaʻa i ka paia o ka ʻōpū kahi papa pale kūikawā e pale aku iā ia mai kēia mau waikawa.

• 4. ʻŌpū Liʻiliʻi: Hele ka meaʻai ma ʻaneʻi ma hope o ka ʻōpū. ʻOiai kona inoa, ʻo ia ka ʻāpana lōʻihi loa o ke ala ʻai, ma kahi o 20 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi! ʻO kēia kahi e hana ʻia ai ka hapa nui o ka ʻai ʻana o ka meaʻai, a komo nā meaʻai mai ka meaʻai i ʻai ʻia i loko o ke kino. No ke kōkua ʻana i kēia, hōʻiliʻili pū nā wai ʻai mai ka pancreas a me ke akepaʻa ma ʻaneʻi. Ua uhi ʻia ka paia o loko o ka ʻōpū liʻiliʻi me nā miliona o nā ʻōpuʻu liʻiliʻi (`(villi)`) e like me ka velvet. Hoʻonui nui kēia i ka hakahaka no ka omo ʻana o nā meaʻai.

• 5. ʻŌpū Nui: ʻO nā mea i komo ʻole i loko o ka ʻōpū liʻiliʻi, ʻo ia hoʻi, ka wai a me ka fiber indigestible (`(fiber)`), e hele mai ma ʻaneʻi. He 5 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka hana nui o ka ʻōpū nui, ʻo ia ke komo ʻana i ke koena o ka wai i loko o ke kino a hana i nā feces a i ʻole ka stool . Eia kekahi, he nui nā bacteria maikaʻi e noho ana i loko o ko kākou ʻōpū nui. Kōkua pū kēia mau bacteria i ka hana ʻana i kekahi mau huaora (e like me ka huaora K).

• 6. Rectum a me Anus: ʻO ka ʻōpala i hana ʻia ma ka ʻōpū nui e mālama ʻia no kekahi manawa ma ka rectum ma mua o ka haʻalele ʻana i ke kino. A laila hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma o ka anus ke pono.

Ua ʻike anei ʻoe i ka mamao o ka hele ʻana o ka meaʻai a me ka nui o kona loli ʻana mai ka manawa i lawe ʻia ai i loko o kou waha?

ʻO nā kino koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e kōkua ai i ka ʻai ʻana

Ma waho aʻe o ke ala ʻai, aia kekahi mau ʻōkana koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe e kōkua ana i kēia kaʻina hana ʻai holoʻokoʻa. ʻOiai ʻaʻole pili pono kēia mau mea i ke ala ʻai, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻeli pono ʻia ka meaʻai me ka ʻole o nā enzymes a me nā kemika a lākou e hana ai.

• Nā ʻŌpū Huʻi: E like me kā mākou i ʻōlelo ai ma mua, hoʻopuka kēia mau ʻōpū i ka huʻi. Loaʻa i ka huʻi kahi enzyme i kapa ʻia ʻo amylase, ka mea e hoʻomaka ai i ka ʻeli ʻana o ka starch.

• Ake:ʻO kēia ka ʻōpū nui loa i loko o ko kākou kino. Hana nui ke akepaʻa i nā hana koʻikoʻi loa. I ka wā e pili ana i ka ʻai ʻana, hana ke akepaʻa i ka bile . Kōkua kēia bile i ka wāwahi ʻana i nā momona i loko o ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai i mau ʻāpana liʻiliʻi a ʻai iā lākou. ʻAʻole wale ia, kōkua pū ke akepaʻa i ka mālama ʻana i nā meaʻai i omo ʻia e ke kino, hoʻololi iā lākou, a "detoxify" i nā mea ʻino i ke kino. Ua like ia me ka hale hana nui o ko kākou kino.

• ʻŌpū Gall: He ʻōkana liʻiliʻi kēia e like me ke ʻeke aia ma lalo o ke akepaʻa. Mālama ia i ka bile, kahi wai i hana ʻia e ke akepaʻa. Ke ʻai mākou i nā meaʻai momona, ʻūlū ka gallbladder a hoʻokuʻu i ka bile i mālama ʻia i loko o ka ʻōpū liʻiliʻi.

• ʻAnakena: He ʻāpana koʻikoʻi kēia ma hope o ka ʻōpū. Hana ka ʻanakena i ʻelua mau mea nui. ʻO kekahi, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i nā enzyme he nui (no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i nā kalapona, nā protein, a me nā momona) e pono ai no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana a hoʻouna iā lākou i ka ʻōpū liʻiliʻi. ʻO kekahi, ʻo ia ka hana ʻana i nā hormones koʻikoʻi e like me ka insulin a me ka glucagon e kaohi ana i nā pae kō i loko o ko kākou kino.

ʻEhia ke kumukūʻai o ka hana pono ʻana o kēia ʻōnaehana kupaianaha?

I kēia manawa, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kupaianaha a me ka paʻakikī o kā mākou ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe. Inā he hana hewa iki ma kekahi ʻāpana o kēia ʻōnaehana, hiki iā ia ke hoʻopilikia i ke kino holoʻokoʻa. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻoulu i ka ʻōpū ʻeha, ka pehu ʻana, ka paʻa ʻana o ka ʻōpū, ka maʻi diarrhea, a pēlā aku. No laila, ʻo kā mākou kuleana ke mālama i kēia ʻōnaehana makamae i ke olakino. Hana ia e like me ka meaʻai a mākou e hāʻawi ai iā ia.

ʻO kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e mālama i ke olakino o kā mākou ʻōnaehana digestive

Eia kekahi mau mea maʻalahi hiki iā ʻoe ke hana e hoʻohauʻoli ai i kāu ʻōnaehana digestive:

• ʻAi i nā meaʻai waiwai i ka fiber: ʻO nā meaʻai e like me nā legumes, nā mea kanu, nā huaʻai, a me nā palaoa piha he waiwai nui i ka fiber. Kōkua kēia i ka neʻe ʻana o ka ʻōpū a pale i ka paʻa ʻana o ka ʻōpū.
• Inu i ka wai lawa: He mea nui ka wai no ka ʻai ʻana. Kōkua ia i ka wāwahi ʻana i ka meaʻai, hoʻopili i nā meaolaola, a mālama i ka palupalu o ka ʻōpala. E ho'āʻo e inu ma ka liʻiliʻi he 8 mau aniani wai i ka lā.
• E nau maikaʻi i kāu meaʻai: Ke nau maikaʻi ʻoe i kāu meaʻai, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hana ʻana o nā enzyme digestive. Eia kekahi, ʻike koke ʻoe i ka māʻona, kahi e hōʻemi ai i kou ʻano e ʻai nui ai.
• E hoʻokele i ke kaumaha: E kahaha paha ʻoe, akā pili pololei ke kaumaha i kāu ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe. Ke piʻi aʻe ke kaumaha, hiki ke loaʻa nā mea e like me ka ʻeha puʻuwai a me ka ʻeha o ka ʻōpū. No laila e hoʻāʻo e hoʻomaha i kou noʻonoʻo.
• Hoʻoikaika Kino: Hoʻomaikaʻi ka hoʻoikaika kino mau i ka hana ʻōpū a kōkua i ka kaohi ʻana i ke kaumaha.
• E ʻai i nā manawa maʻamau: E ho'āʻo e ʻai i ka manawa like e like me ka hiki. E kōkua kēia i kāu ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe e maʻa i kēlā ʻano.

Hōʻuluʻulu Manaʻo: Nā mea e pono ai mākou e hoʻomanaʻo

ʻAe, ke lana nei koʻu manaʻo he manaʻo maikaʻi kou e pili ana i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe mai nā mea a kākou i kamaʻilio ai i kēia lā.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he hale hana kupaianaha ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe e hoʻololi i ka meaʻai a mākou e ʻai ai i ikehu a me ka meaʻai no ko mākou kino.

Ma kēia ʻano, hele ka meaʻai ma o ka waha, ka esophagus, ka ʻōpū, ka ʻōpū liʻiliʻi, a me ka ʻōpū nui , kahi e hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ai a komo nā meaʻai i loko o ke kino me ke kōkua o nā ʻōpū e like me ke akepaʻa, ka gallbladder, a me ka pancreas . He mea nui loa ka mālama ʻana i kēia ʻōnaehana olakino. ʻO nā mea e like me nā ʻano ʻai maikaʻi, ka inu ʻana i ka wai lawa, a me ka hoʻoikaika kino e kōkua i kēlā. No laila, mai poina e noʻonoʻo i kēia "hoaaloha i loko" o kou a mālama pono iā ia!
