1Hello dear listeners, welcome to thisepisode of the podcast [applause]. Today let's talk about Lingzhi, which is amagical thing that frequently appears in mythological stories.
In ancient mythology, Lingzhi wasconsidered a reliable "elixir" to fulfill the role. Let'stalk about "The Legend of the White Snake". In order to save Xu Xian,Bai Niangzi braved difficulties and dangers to steal Ganoderma lucidum fromKunlun Mountain. That lingzhi is depicted as miraculous, as if it can berevived with just one bite. There are also various immortal novels and legends,and Lingzhi is always regarded as a treasure that can help people cultivateimmortality and prolong life. However, is this purely a fantasy or is therereally a scientific basis behind it? Next, let's explore it thoroughly.
From a scientific perspective, Ganodermalucidum is actually a large fungus belonging to the family Polyporus. Itsappearance is very recognizable, with a semi-circular cap and cloud like ringson top, and dense small holes below, like a carefully carved artwork. There arealso many types of Ganoderma lucidum, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Ganodermalucidum, which are the most common. They have slight differences in compositionand efficacy, but they are all rich in various beneficial substances for thehuman body.
Let's first talk about the famous Ganodermapolysaccharide in Ganoderma lucidum. This is the "ace ingredient" ofGanoderma lucidum, like the "health guardian" in the body.It can regulate our immune system, stimulate the activity of immune cells, andkeep them vigilant like well-trained soldiers, constantly resisting theinvasion of foreign pathogens. For example, when a cold virus strikes, theimmune system quickly recognizes and launches an attack with the help ofGanoderma lucidum polysaccharides, making you less susceptible to the torment ofa cold. Moreover, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can also have antioxidantproperties, eliminate free radicals in the body, slow down the aging rate ofcells, and help you maintain a youthful state at the cellular level.
Let's talk about triterpenoids again, whichare the source of the bitter taste of Ganoderma lucidum. Don't be fooled by itsunpleasant taste, its effectiveness should not be underestimated. It canregulate blood lipids, reduce the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides inthe blood, just like a thorough cleaning of blood vessels, making blood flowsmoother and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition,triterpenoids also have certain anti-inflammatory effects. When the body hasinflammation, they can play a role in relieving the discomfort caused byinflammation.
There is also ganoderic acid, whichperforms well in protecting the liver. The liver is the body's"detoxification factory" , processing various toxinsevery day. Lingzhi acid can enhance the detoxification function of the liver andpromote the regeneration of liver cells, just like hiring a capable helper forthe liver, keeping it in the best working condition at all times and bettermaintaining the normal operation of the body.
However, don't think too much about Lingzhias a panacea. Although it has many benefits, it cannot replace formal medicalmethods. When consuming Ganoderma lucidum products, it is also important tochoose legitimate channels to ensure quality and safety.
Lingzhi, from a mythical fairy herb, graduallyentered the scientific field of vision, and we uncovered its mysterious veil,realizing its true value. I hope today's sharing can give everyone a newunderstanding of Ganoderma lucidum and provide them with a scientific choice intheir pursuit of health. Thank you for listening, see you next time!
