In China, traditional Chinese medicine anti-aging drugs, also known as longevity drugs, refer to some drugs that can delay aging, promote physical health and maintain good intelligence and physical strength within the life span determined by genetic factors.
Anti-aging drugs can be divided into Chinese medicine and western medicine.
① Prolonging the cell growth period. For example, Astragalus membranaceus can make the cells cultured in vitro grow vigorously and prolong their life by about one time.
② Regulating nervous system functions, such as ginseng and acanthopanax senticosus;
③ Improve endocrine function, such as royal jelly, Polygonum Multiflori Radix, Ginseng Radix, Notoginseng Radix, etc. It can enhance the function of adrenal cortex and gonad;
④ Improve the metabolism of protein and nucleic acids, such as Ganoderma lucidum, Radix Astragali, Radix Ginseng, Radix Acanthopanacis Senticosi, etc.
⑤ The whole body is strong, such as velvet antler, pollen and Polygonum multiflorum.
⑥ Regulating immune function, such as Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, Ginseng, etc.
Western medicine is common in the following categories:
① Improve cerebral blood circulation and promote brain cell metabolism, such as Naoyizin, Naofukang and Sibelium.
② Antioxidant drugs, such as vitamin E, superoxide dismutase and chlorhexidine.
(3) Improve immune function and prevent diseases, such as various globulin preparations, vitamins E and C, thymosin, etc.
④ Membrane stabilizers, such as vitamin E, etc.
Proper use of some anti-aging drugs by middle-aged and elderly people can enhance physical fitness, prevent diseases and help prolong life. However, it is wrong to rely solely on drugs, and we should also pay attention to comprehensive anti-aging measures such as exercise, diet conditioning and mental health.
It is worth noting that when using anti-aging drugs, you should avoid eating more and more. Middle-aged and elderly people should take anti-aging tonic drugs from a small dose, choose drugs suitable for middle-aged and elderly people's physique, and use drugs rationally to achieve ideal curative effect. If abused blindly, it will produce adverse side effects such as elevation, edema and insomnia. Some drugs are suitable for people with kidney-yang deficiency, but middle-aged and elderly people with internal upset and heat-yin deficiency may have nosebleeds, hemorrhoids bleeding and other reactions after taking them. For another example, taking vitamin E should not be too large, which will affect endocrine function and coagulation mechanism and produce symptoms such as fatigue and thrombophlebitis.
In short, in the history of our country, there are still many lessons in taking drugs for immortality. Therefore, when middle-aged and elderly people take it, they should go to the hospital for physical examination first, and then take the medicine according to the doctor's advice.
