Basing on its shiny fatty look, mayonnaise is considered the highest food product in fat but calories in it vary according to their types.

Though mayonnaise is made up of vegetable oils like canola and soya bean, which are sources of omega-3 fatty acids, it has high amount of fat and advisable to restrict its intake.

The low or reduced fat versions are simply not oily enough. For weight-watchers and dieters, mayonnaise can be a mortal enemy as well as those allergic to eggs.

Mayonnaise frequently contains soybean oil, which very often comes from GMO soybeans yet about 87 percent of soybean crops in USA are genetically modified. What is worrisome is that, studies link genetic modification to sterility and infant mortality high rates.

Mayonnaise is available in different brands and types such as canola, light, fat free, etc and the calories in mayonnaise also varies accordingly.

However, one tablespoon of regular mayonnaise contains around 57 to 114 calories. The calorie contents in fat free and light variety of mayonnaises are 10 and 25 respectively.

If it is based on canola, the calorie level is very low. The calories in mayonnaise are different if it is prepared by using olive oil or tofu or other oils.

If prepared by avoiding cholesterol, the calorie level in one cup of mayonnaise may approximately be 1644.3.

A study on mayonnaise nutrition facts shows that 231g of mayonnaise has 769 calories, 77g fats, 11g saturated fats, 18g monounsaturated fats and 45g polyunsaturated fats. The total amount of carbohydrate is 15g and sugar is 10g.

It also contains 4916mg omega-3 and 40131mg omega-6 fats, 14.9 mg vitamin E, 57.1 mg vitamin K and 16.2 mg choline.

If you can’t avoid mayonnaise, opt for organic, sugar-free mustard.

Des études réalisées à l’université de “Northwestern University” aux Etats Unis démontrent que le lait de mouton contient beaucoup de calcium qui a comme caractéristique principale de renforcer les os humains.

D’après ces recherches, 1 litre de lait de mouton renferme 1950 milligrammes de potassium, une quantité supérieure par rapport aux autres laits que l’on rencontre couramment. A la deuxième place vient le lait de buffle qui contient 1800 mgrs tandis que le lait de chèvre comporte 1260 mgrs. Quant au lait de vache, il ne contient que 1200 mgrs de potassium.

Ces chercheurs Américains déclarent que le potassium a un rôle très important dans la croissance des os surtout chez les enfants.

Lorsqu’il y a une quantité de potassium non suffisante dans le sang humain, cela représente un risque d’accroissement des os dans le développement du corps humain de l’enfant. Ces recherches stipulent aussi que le potassium doit être accompagné de la vitamine D. En d’autres mots, outre les aliments riches en potassium, la nourriture riche en vitamine D doit être consommée car elle sert de support dans la croissance du corps humain en général.

Les aliments riches en vitamine D se rencontrent dans la viande, le lait, les œufs. En cas d’insuffisance de potassium dans le corps humain, le lait de mouton peut être servi d’appui dans une courte durée. Mais on ne peut pas oublier que cette sorte de lait est rarement consommée et n’est pas facile à trouver.

Ubushakashatsi bwakozwe  na Kaminuza ya “Northwestern University” yo muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe z’Amerika buvuga ko amata akomoka ku ntama n’ubwo ataboneka kenshi ari yo mata akungahaye kuri kalisiyumu ikomeza amagufa  kurusha andi mata.

Amata y’intama agira uruhare mu ikura ry’amagufa

Nk’uko aya makuru abitangaza, ngo muri litiro imwe y’amata y’intama habonekamo miligarama 1.950 zikaba ari nyinshi ugereranyije n’iziboneka mu mata akomoka ku nka.

Aya mata akurikirwa n’akomoka ku mbogo aho yo agira miligarama 1.800 muri litiro imwe. Amata y’ihene na yo agira miligarama 1.260 za kalisiyumu muri litiro imwe yayo. Amata abonekamo kalisiyumu nke ni akomoka ku nka akaba abonekamo miligarama 1.200 muri litiro imwe yayo.

Aha bavuga ko uyu munyu ngugu wa kalisiyumu ufite uruhare runini mu mikurire y’amagufa cyane cyane ay’umwana ukiri muto. Mu gihe umunyu ngugu wa kalisiyumu ubaye muke mu maraso ushobora kuba ikibazo cyane cyane gishobora no kugira uruhare mu kwiyongera kw’amagufa mu gihe cyo gukura.

Aya makuru avuga ko uyu munyu ngugu wa kalisiyumu ugoma kugendana neza na vitamini D. Aha ni ukuvuga ko mu kurya ibikungahaye kuri kalisiyumu ari na ngombwa kwibuka gufata n’ibikungahaye kuri vitamini D no ku byubaka umubiri kuko ari byo bigira uruhare ntakuka mu mikurire myiza y’umubiri muri rusange.

Izi ntungamubiri zose ziboneka mu nyama, mu mata, mu magi, mu mafi ari byo bizwiho cyane kubonekamo vitamini D. Aha kandi bavuga ko uruhererekane rw’inyunyu ngugu na rwo rurushaho kugira umumaro mu mikurire y’umwana, kabone n’ubwo ishobora kuba itagira uruhare ruziguye mu mikurire y’amagufwa.

Aha bemeza ko mu gihe umubiri ufite ikibazo cya kalisiyumu, habonetse amata akomoka ku ntama yaba ari yo yayitanga mu gihe gito. Icyakora ngo ntihakwiye kwirengagizwa ko aya mata adapfa kuboneka bitewe no kudakundwa na benshi.

Nkuko tubikesha urubuga rwa interineti www.doctissimo.fr, imyungu yaba iminini, imito n’ibindi biboneka mu muryango umwe nayo, biri mu biribwa byorohereza urwungano ngogozi, ndetse bikaba bishobora kwifashishwa mu kumenyereza buhoro buhoro uru rwungano mu mikorere yarwo, nko ku bana biga kurya.

Uru rubuiga rukomeza ruvuga ko uretse koroshya igogorwa, imboga zo mu bwoko bw’imyungu bunagira vitamine n’imyunyungugu bitandukanye, ariko ngo ikabonekamo icyitwa fibure nyinshi, zoroshya cyane igogorwa mu buryo bwihariye.

Mu myungu habonekamo ibitera imbaraga bigera muri kirokaroli 15 muri garama 100 z’imyungu, bakavuga ko ari byiza guhitamo imyungu ifite igishishwa cyoroshye cyane, dore ko uko ugenda ukura ari nako urushaho gukomera.

Aha hagaragazwa ko imyungu cyangwa se amadegede, bishobora no kwifashishwa ku bashaka kugabanya ibiro (kunanuka) kimwe n’imboga zisanzwe zitarimo ibitera imbaraga byinshi.

Hari akakunda kurya izi mboga zo mu bwoko bw’amadegede ari mbisi nko muri salade, abandi bakazirya zitetse.

Iyo urebye ahenshi mu masoko yo mu Rwanda, usanga amadegede n’ibindi bisa nayo bikunze kugurwa n’abasirimu bajijutse, ahandi ubisanga mu maresitora nayo make, ariko kandi binakunze kugaragara ko benshi mu bayirya, ari abategetswe kugabanya amafunguro akungahaye ku binyamavuta mu mirire yabo.

Icyakora usanga mu byaro ho barya imyungu minini rimwe na rimwe bakanarya ibibabi by’inzuzi (ibisusa) nabyo ngo bikungahaye ku ntungamubiri.

Ikindi na none ni uko imyungu ikundwa cyane n’abakuze kuruta abakiri bato, naho uduto nka Courgette na cocomble, ngo abazirya nabo ni abasirimu bakunze kubikoresha nko mu masalade.

Abantu barya amacunga kubera bazi ko aryohera ndetse bamwe bakayarya nk’imbuto zifite umutobe ubamara inyota. Nyuma yo kurya ariko benshi ntibaramenya ko ari umuti uvura indwara zinyuranye ndetse yiganjemo intungamubiri umuntu akeneye.

Amacunga agirira umubiri akamaro

Umuhanga mu by’imirire (nutritionist), Uwiragiye Joseph unakuriye ishami rishinzwe iby’imirire mu bitaro bya CHUK, kuri uyu wa 2 Mutarama 2012  atangaza ko amacunga ari zimwe mu mbuto zifitemo za vitamine n’imyunyu inyuranye, bifasha mu guhangana na zimwe mu ndwara.

Uwiragiye yatangaje ko amacunga akungahaye kuri vitamini zitandukanye cyane cyane vitamine C, ifite imbaraga zo gufasha umubiri guhangana n’indwara nka Asima, inkorora y’igikatu, ibicurane, igituntu, umusonga, rubagimpande, gufasha abantu kwituma neza, gukumira indwara ya diyabete, umuvuduko udasanzwe w’amaraso n’izindi.

Aha  yavuze ko umutobe w’amacunga unafasha abantu bakunda inzoga kuba bazireka, kuko uyu mutobe ugabanya irari ry’inzoga mu mubiri.

Aha, Uwiragiye akomeza agaragaza ko amacunga afasha umubiri muri byinshi binyuranye. Ati “amacunga agira umunyu wa Kalisiyumu ifasha amagufa n’amenyo gukomera no gukura neza, habamo umunyu wa Manyeziyumu ugira uruhare mu gutuma amaraso atembera neza mu mitsi no mu turandaryi duto,  ndetse hanabonekamo Acide folique ituma ubwonko bukora neza.”

Avuga ko abana babagana barwaye indwara ya bwaki babashishikariza kurya imbuto zirimo n’amacunga, kuko ari mu bintu bituma imibiri yabo igarura imbaraga vuba.

Ati “Icunga ni urubuto rw’ingenzi cyane mu mirire ya muntu.”

Mu icunga babonekamo ubwoko bwose bwa Vitamine B, ariko by’umwihariko vitamine B1 na vitamine B9. Habonekamo  kandi umunyungugu wa Kalisiyumu, Potasiyumu, Fosifori na Manyeziyumu, ndetse n’ubutare bwa  feri.

Mu icunga kandi habonekamo Cuivre, Zinc, Manganeze, Iode ndetse na  Sélénium, hakabonekamo na Fibres ituma amara akora neza bityo imyanda isigara ku byo umuntu aba yariye igasohoka nta ngorane.

Muri zimwe mu mbuto zifitiye umubiri akamaro harimo n’urubuto rw’umwembe. Uru rubuto rukaba rukungahaye cyane kuri Vitamini C i ikenerwa n’umubiri cyanecyane iyo hakorwa za poroteyine.

Poroteyine z’ingenzi zikurwa mu mwembe zikaba zigirira akamaro kanini amagufwa, imiyoboro y’amaraso ndetse n’amenyo. Imyembe kandi igira akamaro kanini kuko poroteyine ibamo ituma ibikomere bikira. Si ibyo gusa kuko ngo igira n’uruhare mu kongera amaraso mu mubiri, mu gukorwa kw’imyunyungugu ya Fer, mu gukorwa kw’indurwe y’umwijima n’ibindi.

Umwe mu mpuguke mu by’imirire, Rutaganda Theoneste  avuga ko umwembe ukize ku ntungamubiri zitandukanye umubiri w’umuntu ushobora gukenera   harimo kuri vitamine  C na A ariko sizo zibonekamo gusa kuko habonekamo n’izindi zitavuzwe ariko zitiganjemo cyane.

Vitamini C igira uruhare rukomeye mu gukura kw’imikaya y’umubiri, igira uruhare mu kurwanya indwara zitandukanye nk’impiswi, asima, macinya, kurinda Kanseri, isuku y’amaraso no kurinda kanseri zitandukanye.

Vitamini A yo ifasha mu kurinda indwara cyane ku bagore ikagira uruhare mu gukura k’umwana batwite, mu gukomeza amagufwa n’ibindi.

Imyembe kandi inagira indi myunyungugu nka Potasiyumu zigira uruhare mu mikorere y’imitsi. Ni byiza rero kwihatira kurya imbuto mu rwego rwo guharanira kugira ubuzima buzira umuze no kurwanya indwara zafata umubiri hato na hato.
