So what's the specific effect of this flavor, a precious medicinal material that has been eaten in China for thousands of years? First of all, we have to explain it one by one through its active ingredients.
Through modern medical research, we found that Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides, nucleosides, furans, sterols, alkaloids, triterpenes, oils, various amino acids, protein, enzymes, organic germanium and various trace elements.
1. Regulating immunity
Immunity is the body's own defense mechanism, and it is the body's ability to identify and destroy any foreign body, deal with the aging, injury, death and degradation of its own cells, and identify and deal with mutant cells and virus-infected cells in the body. In daily life, we can improve our immunity by changing bad habits, keeping a happy mood, combining work and rest, and increasing physical exercise.
In addition, we can also eat some ingredients that can effectively enhance the body's resistance or choose appropriate oral nutritional supplements to improve our immunity. This has to mention our famous Ganoderma lucidum, which is listed as "medicine" in Shennong Herbal Classic. It is noble and has no side effects. Long-term use can enhance physical fitness, enhance human resistance and prolong life.
Modern medical analysis shows that Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides and triterpenoids, both of which have good immune regulation function, among which more than 200 triterpenoids have been found in Ganoderma lucidum. Other plants also contain triterpenoids, but Ganoderma lucidum contains special triterpenoids (or ganoderic acid), which other plants do not have.
2. Antioxidant and anti-aging
Experimental studies show that taking Ganoderma lucidum for half a year can significantly improve the total antioxidant capacity (TEAC), the content and activity of antioxidant enzymes, and significantly reduce the oxidative damage to cell membrane and DNA. Antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells are also important indicators of human antioxidant capacity. Red blood cells, which transport oxygen molecules, are the most vulnerable to oxidative damage, and their defense mechanism is more important.
The experimental results show that Ganoderma lucidum can greatly increase the content of various antioxidant enzymes in red blood cells. Because "oxidation" is one of the sources of "aging", the results of this study also have the significance of "anti-aging". So for healthy people, eating Ganoderma lucidum will upgrade your health.
3. Adjuvant treatment of tumor diseases
20 1 1 Lin Zhibin, a medical author, published a book entitled "Ganoderma lucidum supporting vital energy and eliminating pathogenic factors in adjuvant treatment of tumors", in which the chemical constituents and pharmacological effects of Ganoderma lucidum were analyzed, and it was confirmed through clinical experiments and folk experience that Ganoderma lucidum did have adjuvant treatment effects on some tumor diseases.
Ganoderma lucidum and its polysaccharides, peptides and triterpenoids have anti-tumor effects on various animal transplanted tumors, and can enhance the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin, fluorouracil and cyclophosphamide. Ganoderma lucidum and its polysaccharide peptides can enhance the function of macrophages, natural killer cells, dendritic cells and toxic T cells to kill tumor cells, promote the production of anti-tumor cytokines, such as TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor) and IFN-γ (interferon), enhance the activity of these cytokines, and improve the anti-tumor immunity of the body, thus playing an anti-tumor role.
4. Reduce blood pressure, blood lipid and blood sugar to prevent "three highs"
Ganoderma lucidum is rich in inorganic germanium, which can make human blood circulation smooth, enhance the function of receiving oxygen, promote metabolism in the body, and has the functions of clearing blood, promoting qi circulation and improving physical fitness.
Lipid-lowering Ganoderma lucidum can reduce high density lipoprotein, reduce whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and improve hemorheology. In addition, if it is suitable for conventional hypolipidemic drugs, it has synergistic effect and can enhance each other's curative effects.
The hypoglycemic ganoderma lucidum has the functions of promoting insulin production by islets, slowing blood circulation of islets, improving heart function, making insulin ooze and replenish, thus correcting metabolic disorder, restoring its original metabolic balance form and improving immunity. Ganoderma lucidum contains 17 kinds of essential amino acids and trace elements for human health. These substances are indispensable in life activities and can nourish yin and tonify kidney. Using Ganoderma lucidum to reduce blood sugar starts with improving the condition, and the ultimate means is to avoid or delay cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications caused by diabetes.
Detoxification and liver protection
Ganoderma lucidum has protective effect on liver injury caused by many physical, chemical and biological factors. Whether before or after liver injury, taking Ganoderma lucidum can protect the liver and alleviate liver injury. Ganoderma lucidum can promote the metabolism of drugs and poisons in the liver, and has definite curative effect on toxic hepatitis. Especially for chronic hepatitis, Ganoderma lucidum can obviously eliminate dizziness, fatigue, nausea, liver discomfort and other symptoms, and can effectively improve liver function, so that all indicators tend to be normal.
The relationship between Ganoderma lucidum and liver has a history of 2,000 years in China since it was recorded in Dragon Herbal Medicine. Ganoderma lucidum uses its effective components to achieve the functions of "regulating immunity", "antioxidation" and "scavenging free radicals" and protect the liver. Modern medical research shows that the protective and detoxicating effects of Ganoderma lucidum on human liver are irreplaceable.
6. disgust
Ganoderma lucidum can play an antiallergic role, and can block the release of allergic reaction media after breaking the wall, so it can play an antiallergic role. People with allergic constitution can take Ganoderma lucidum.
7. Improve sleep
Ganoderma lucidum contains adenine compounds, which have obvious inhibitory effect on the central nervous system and show remarkable sedative and sedative effects. In a clinical experiment, 102 patients with neurasthenia and insomnia were treated with ganoderma lucidum for 2-3 courses. Results: Insomnia, dreaminess, palpitation, forgetfulness, fatigue, soreness of the original waist and knees, irritability and other symptoms were obviously alleviated, and the effective rate was over 96%. This experiment shows that Ganoderma lucidum has a certain effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep.
8. Cough, asthma and lungs
Ganoderma lucidum is rich in ganoderic acid (triterpenoids) and ganoderma lucidum alkaloids, which can inhibit histamine release, relieve bronchial smooth muscle spasm, repair bronchial ciliated epithelium, relieve cough and resolve phlegm, and is especially suitable for patients with chronic bronchitis. For bronchitis and asthma, the total effective rate can reach 60-90% after taking 1 month.
9. Nourish yin and blood, beauty beauty
Ganoderma lucidum can achieve the effect of beauty beauty by delaying aging, regulating endocrine and metabolic systems, and scavenging free radicals. Ganoderma lucidum has the effects of caring skin, delaying aging, maintaining and regulating skin moisture, restoring skin elasticity, making skin moist and delicate, inhibiting the formation and precipitation of skin melanin, removing pigmentation and increasing hair luster.
Therefore, all kinds of beauty products made of Ganoderma lucidum have also become the upstart of skin care and beauty. Subsequently, ganoderma lucidum skin care, hair care and bath preparations also came into being. If taken orally with Ganoderma lucidum, it can nourish and protect the whole body skin, make the whole body skin smooth and delicate, and effectively prevent bacteria from invading the skin.
10. Matters needing attention
