Ganoderma and Heart
Once thought
to be the source of feelings of love and emotion, the heart is actually
the powerhouse of the circulatory system. Rhythmic contractions of this
muscular pump push blood along the blood vessels to all parts of the
body, even to its far extremities, and back to the heart again. The
beating heart ensures that every cell of the body has an uninterrupted
supply of food, oxygen, and other essentials. So powerful is the heart
that it can pump the body´s entire blood volume of 5 litres (8.8 pints)
around the body once every minute. On average, it beats, or pumps, 70
times a minute when the body is at rest, yet can increase this rate if
the body is active. Over a lifetime of 70 years, the heart beats some
2.5 billion times without tiring or stopping for a rest, thanks to the
cardiac muscle and its walls.
Heart Problems: Unseen inside the chest, the heart
is taken for granted until something goes wrong. A common cause of heart
problems is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which
provide heart muscle with oxygen, a condition known as “Coronary Artery
Disease”. Its main symptom is chest pain, noticed during stress or
exercise when extra demands are put on the heart. The chances of
developing this problem are increased by smoking, high blood pressure,
high-fat diet, obesity, and inactivity.Reishi or Ganoderma lucidum is a very powerful herb and it has been used for more than 5000 years for its Healing effects. It has more than 200 active ingredients which makes it unique in its positive effect on health.
The important effects on the heart are due to its triterpene compounds. The triterpenes give Reishi an adoptogenic quality, providing the person with protection from a wide range of biological, environmental, and social stresses. They have a kind of harmonizing effects on the body. These harmonizing effects are in the immune system as well as the circulatory system.
Anti-Oxidant effect: Reishi, being a powerful Natural anti-oxidant helps to scavenge the free radicals which are injurious to cells. Consumption of Reishi can help in the prevention of heart diseases, especially heart attacks by its powerful antioxidant effects. It has been proved to reduce cholesterol levels.
Antiplatelet Effect: Reishi contains Adenosine which is a platelet inhibitor. This action is due to the activation of phospholipase. This antiplatelet effect prevents clot formation, regularizes blood flow in the blood vessels, especially in the micro-circulation, thereby preventing heart attack.
ACE inhibition-Lanostane triterpenes with ACE inhibiting effects have been identified in Ganoderma. Ganoderic acid F exhibited the highest effect. This effect lowers and normalizes the blood pressure and helps to reduce the load on the heart and improve pumping function, especially in a failing heart.
Vasodilator effect: Adenosine is a powerful vasodilator and it improves the blood supply and oxygen delivery to various organs. By improving the oxygen supply to the heart, Reishi is useful in preventing Coronory Artery disease and helps to overcome angina.
The ability of Reishi to calm the body and regulate its energy seems to be the key to its effect on blood pressure, the immune system, and ultimately how long that system will last.
I would say that
ONE APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!
ONE RG/GL (Ganodarma) A DAY KEEPS THE CARDIOLOGIST AWAY!!!
