Fatigue belongs to the category of body deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine, and ginseng has the function of tonifying qi deficiency, so ginseng has great potential in anti-fatigue, which is why many people still trust ginseng to replenish the body until today.
There are research data to analyze the anti-fatigue mechanism of ginseng;
1. Doctors believe that after taking ginseng, the production of lactic acid is obviously inhibited during exercise, while the activity of lactic dehydrogenase is correspondingly increased, which promotes the oxidation of a large amount of lactic acid produced during strenuous exercise to pyruvate, providing new energy for muscle activity, thus producing anti-fatigue effect.
2. Ginseng can also strengthen the excitability of cerebral cortex in a short time, inhibit two kinds of nerve activity processes, enhance the flexibility of the excitement process, and reduce the fatigue of the excitement process, thus helping to eliminate the fatigue of the central nervous system.
3. Ginseng can not only reduce the degree of fatigue during exercise, but also quickly eliminate fatigue. After taking it, the athlete's heart rate slows down and the cardiac output increases when he is quiet. During strenuous exercise, the heart reserve is larger, the cardiac output is larger, and the blood supply is increased to meet the needs of the body, especially muscle tissue for nutrition and oxygen, and excessive metabolites can be discharged in time, which is conducive to improving exercise ability and reducing fatigue. After exercise, the recovery of heart rate is obviously accelerated, and fatigue can be quickly eliminated.
In recent years, domestic and foreign multi-center animal and clinical experiments have confirmed that ginseng has anti-fatigue effect, and its material basis is mainly ginsenoside. This paper expounds the anti-fatigue mechanism of ginsenoside from the aspects of resisting free radicals, regulating glucose metabolism, reducing lactic acid accumulation and resisting central neurotransmitter disorder. Therefore, ginsenoside products came into being, with ginsenoside Rh2 as the main functional component, which not only has higher efficacy, but also is convenient to take, and has become a new form of ginseng health care.
In this fast-paced life, fatigue is a chronic "corrosive agent" of our health, and it is also the chief culprit to reduce the efficiency of work and study. To drive away fatigue and increase vitality, ginsenoside can be called a "catalyst" for healthy body.
