Ma ke kino o ke kanaka, nui nā mea i hoʻokō i kēia a iʻole ia hana. ʻO ka hana nuiʻo ka melanin,ʻo ia ka mea e mālama ai i nā kukui ultraviolet. ʻO ia ka mea nāna e pale i kaʻili mai ka wela a hoʻololi i ka mahana a me ka ikaika o ka Sun i loko o ke kumu o ka pōleʻele. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, he lōʻihi ka manawa o kēlā me kēia kanaka i ka malamalama o ka lā ma konaʻano pono'ī, no laila, inā e alakaʻi kokeʻia ana i ka wela, e hōʻike kēia i ka pae haʻahaʻa o kēia puaʻa.
He aha nā meaʻai i loko o ka melanin?
Loaʻa mākou i ka hālāwaiʻana i nāʻike e loaʻa i kekahi mau huahana nā mea pono. Eia naʻe, i ka nīnauʻiaʻana o ka melanin i loko, he nui nā mea he paʻakikī e pane. He mea maʻalahi kēia, no ka mea,ʻoiai, eia ka mea i loaʻaʻole i kēiaʻano puaʻa i ka meaʻai, ua hanaʻia e ke kino pono'ī, aʻo ka mea hiki ke kōkua i kāna aʻoʻana. E like me ka mea iʻikeʻia, no kaʻikeʻana o ka melanin pono, pono pono ke hoʻolohe i nā hua i loaʻa nā wai amino e like me tryptophan a me tyrosine. Hōʻoia ko lākou hōʻailona i ka hanaʻana o kēia mea i nā mea pono. Pono kaʻai e hoʻokomo i nā huahana he nui likeʻole, no ka mea, hikiʻole iāʻoe ke haʻalele i ke kino me kaʻole o nā meaʻai maikaʻi.
ʻO ka amino mua mua, ka mea kōkua i ka hanaʻana i ka melanin,
No ka tyrosine, hiki ke loaʻa i ka meaʻai o nā holoholona a me nā mea kanu (kaʻiʻo, iʻa, hua). Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou i ka maiʻa a me ka'ōpū. I mea e hele mai ai ka melanin i loko o ke kino i ka manawa, ponoʻoe e hoʻolohe i ka meaʻai, i loko o ka huiʻana o kekahi mau huaʻai. ʻO ka manawa maʻamau e pili ana i nā'ōpala, ka'ōmaʻomaʻo, nā huaʻalani a me nā huaʻai, kahi e hiki ai iāʻoe ke loaʻa nā huaora A , B10, C, E, a me nā meaʻai.
ʻO kēia mau mea a pau e kōkua i kahi kanaka e hoʻokiʻekiʻe i ka kiʻekiʻe o ka melanin i loko o ko lākou kino pono'ī.
