Ko te rongoā whakaahua he momo rongoā e whakamahi ana i te mārama hei rongoā i ngā momo mate kiri, tae atu ki ngā mate kiri, te kiri māwhero me te pouri. Ko ngā moenga rongoā whakaahua he taputapu e tuku ana i te mārama hei rongoā i ēnei mate. E rua ngā momo moenga rongoā whakaahua: he pāorooro me te kore pāorooro.
Ka tukuna te mārama e te moenga whakaahua-whakaora (te moenga whakaora rama whero) me te pāorooro, ā, ka tukuna tonutia te mārama e te moenga whakaahua-whakaora kāore he pāorooro. He maha ngā wā ka whakamahia te pāorooro i roto i ngā wāhi hauora hei whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te kino o te kiri mai i te roa o te wā e pāngia ana e te whakaora rama, inā koa mō te hunga he kiri tairongo.
Ko te rerekētanga matua i waenga i ngā moenga whakaahua whakaora-whakaahua kua pāoroorohia me ngā moenga kore-pāoroorohia ko te āhua o te tukunga o te mārama. Ka tukuna te mārama e te pāoroorohia i roto i ngā pakū poto, ā-wā, kia taea ai e te kiri te okioki i waenga i ngā pāoroorohia. He pai tēnei mō ngā tūroro e pāngia ana e te mārama, nā te mea ka whakaiti i te tūponotanga o te kino o te kiri mai i te roa o te wā e pāngia ana.
I tētahi atu taha, ka tukuna tonutia te mārama e ngā moenga whakaora-whakaahua kore-pāhekoheko, ā, ka pai ake pea tēnei mō ētahi āhuatanga. Hei tauira, me roa ake te wā e whakamahia ana te whakaora mārama e ngā tūroro he kino te kiri kia kite ai i te whakapainga.
He tautohetohe kei roto i te ao hauora mō te whai huatanga me te haumaru o te whakaahua-whakaora-pūwero ki te whakataurite ki te whakaahua-whakaora-kore. Ahakoa ka taea e te pūwero te whakaiti i te mōrearea o te kino o te kiri, ka taea hoki e ia te whakaiti i te whai huatanga whānui o te maimoatanga. Ko te whai huatanga o te whakaahua-whakaora ka whakawhirinaki pea ki te āhua motuhake e rongoatia ana me ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro.
I te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi moenga whakaora-ataata, he mea nui kia whakaarohia ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro me te āhua motuhake e rongoatia ana. Tērā pea ka whai hua ngā tūroro he kiri tairongo mai i te moenga whakaora-ataata pulsed, engari ko te hunga he mate kiri kino ka hiahia pea ki tētahi moenga whakaora-ataata kāore i te pulsed. Hei whakamutunga, ko te kōwhiringa pai rawa atu ka whakawhirinaki ki ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro me ngā tohutohu a tētahi tohunga hauora.
Hei whakarāpopototanga, ka tukuna te mārama e ngā moenga whakaahua-whakaora-pāorooro poto, ā, ka tukuna tonutia te mārama e ngā moenga whakaahua-whakaora-kore-pāorooro. Ko te whiriwhiri i te momo moenga hei whakamahi, ka whakawhirinaki ki ngā hiahia takitahi o te tūroro me te āhua motuhake e rongoatia ana. Ahakoa ka taea e te pāorooro te whakaiti i te mōrearea o te kino o te kiri, ka taea hoki e ia te whakaiti i te whai huatanga whānui o te maimoatanga. He mea nui te kōrero ki tētahi tohunga hauora ina whakatau ana i te momo moenga whakaahua-whakaora-whakaora hei whakamahi.
