個人の老化は、外観だけではありません; また、睡眠時間の短縮として現れます, 体力の低下, そして、メモリの衰退. これらはすべて、体の老化で必然的に発生する変性の変化です.
老化プロセスは不可逆的ですが, それでも遅くすることができます.
古代から, Reishi Mushroomは尊敬されています “神のハーブ” and a substance that imparts “良い顔色,” with the saying, “prolonged consumption lightens the body, prevents aging, and extends life.”
今日, extensive pharmacological studies have confirmed Reishi’s anti-aging efficacy, with its active ingredients such as テイシ多糖, トリテルペン, and polypeptides playing active roles. How exactly does Reishi slow down aging? Let’s explore:
Difficulty falling asleep, 睡眠の質が低い, frequent waking… Reishi simultaneously regulates the immune and nervous systems, enhancing sleep quality.
人は年齢を重ねるにつれて, their sleep duration naturally shortens and sleep becomes fragmented; 睡眠不足, 順番に, accelerates the aging process.
それで, how does Reishi help with our sleep? The Chinese Pharmacopoeia lists Reishi’s functions として “relieving cough and panting, reinforcing Qi, and calming the mind.” の “心を落ち着かせる” aspect highlights Reishi’s positive effect on sleep.
で 2010, a study published in the 民族薬理学ジャーナル by Professor Zhang Yonghe from Peking University’s Department of Pharmacology confirmed that an aqueous extract of Reishi fruiting body can simultaneously shorten sleep latency, prolong sleep duration, and increase sleep depth. Reishi thus improves both the “品質” そして “quantity” of sleep [1].
This is inextricably linked to Reishi’s ability to synchronously regulate the “神経系” そして “immune system.”
It can be said that sleep involves not only the nervous system but also the immune system. When they function well, they form a virtuous cycle of “sleep homeostasis” そして “immune homeostasis.”
Reishi can restore the healthy circulation between the “neuro-endocrine-immune” systems, thereby breaking the vicious cycle of neurasthenia and insomnia, and improving sleep [2].
With a weak constitution, one easily catches colds. Reishi regulates the body’s constitution and enhances immunity.
One of Reishi’s main active ingredients, 多糖類, is highly beneficial in enhancing immunity.
で 2022, ランダム化された, 二重盲検, placebo-controlled clinical trial conducted by National Taiwan University in collaboration with Taipei Hospital and other institutions demonstrated that healthy individuals aged 18-55 who supplemented with approximately 150 mgの Reishi β-glucan daily experienced a comprehensive improvement in immunity after 3 数ヶ月 (12 週) [3].
最近, Professor Lin Zhibin from Peking University Health Science Center was a guest on the “Shared Great Doctor” live broadcast, where he again discussed Reishi’s role in delaying aging.
He mentioned that Reishi has a significant immune-boosting effect. During cold and flu seasons, taking Reishi in advance can effectively prevent colds and alleviate their symptoms, a fact many Reishi users have experienced firsthand.
As one ages, forgetfulness increases and recall becomes difficult. Lingzhi Extract improves learning ability and memory impairment.
Declining memory and learning ability are typical signs of brain aging. The neurons responsible for these functions are located in the hippocampus.
Reishi can improve memory and exert positive effects on the nervous system, contributing to “enhanced wisdom and preventing forgetfulness,” and offering some help in preventing Alzheimer’s disease.
Numerous cell experiments today have confirmed that Reishi can reduce the production of β-amyloid protein, inhibit its release of neurotoxins, protect hippocampal neurons, and maintain the normal functioning of neural signal transmission [4].
で 2020, a study published in the journal 酸化医学と細胞の寿命 by Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital confirmed Reishi’s protective effect on nerve cells and its role in alleviating cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer’s disease [5].
(Image shows neurons in mouse hippocampal tissue; it can be seen that in Alzheimer’s mice fed Reishi triterpenes, their hippocampal neurons maintained a high degree of integrity and showed no obvious necrosis, indicating that Reishi triterpenes have a certain protective effect on the hippocampus.)
This further affirms our belief that Reishi can aid learning and memory, and mitigate the negative impact of aging on these cognitive functions.
In addition to the anti-aging effects mentioned above, Reishi also positively influences antioxidant activity, フリーラジカル除去, regulation of aging-related genes, and alleviation of menopausal symptoms.
要約すれば, aging is inevitable, but scientific intervention can slow this process down. By adhering to the principle of “following nature and living a regular life,” supplemented with Reishi to nourish body and mind, a healthy old age becomes achievable.
