Is Lingzhi good for the heart?

Ganoderma lucidum is a food ingredient with relatively high nutritional value. It can treat high blood pressure and diabetes, and improve the body's immunity. However, it may also help the heart because Ganoderma lucidum can dilate the coronary arteries, thereby promoting blood circulation in the heart. It can also prevent high blood lipids and platelet aggregation. Therefore, it is very effective for everyone to eat some Ganoderma lucidum appropriately in daily life.

Does Lingzhi have an auxiliary effect on heart disease?

Both animal experiments and clinical trials have shown that Ganoderma lucidum can effectively dilate coronary arteries, increase coronary blood flow, improve myocardial microcirculation, and enhance myocardial oxygen and energy supply. Therefore, it has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia and can be widely used in the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc. For patients with hyperlipidemia, Ganoderma lucidum can significantly lower blood cholesterol, lipoprotein and triglycerides, and prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. For those who have already formed atherosclerotic plaques, it can reduce the cholesterol content in the arterial walls, soften blood vessels, and prevent further damage. It can also improve local microcirculation and prevent platelet aggregation. These effects have a good preventive and therapeutic effect on various types of stroke.

The application range of Ganoderma lucidum is very wide. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, since this product enters the five internal organs and kidneys to replenish the qi of the five internal organs of the whole body, it can be taken regardless of weakness of the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and kidneys. The diseases treated by Ganoderma lucidum involve various systems such as respiratory, circulatory, digestive, nervous, endocrine and motor systems, covering diseases of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and otolaryngology. The fundamental reason lies in the great effect of Ganoderma lucidum in strengthening the body, enhancing immune function and improving the body's resistance. It is different from general medicines that treat certain diseases, and also different from general nutritional health foods that only supplement and strengthen the deficiency of nutrients in a certain aspect. Instead, it regulates the balance of human functions in an overall two-way manner, mobilizes the body's internal vitality, regulates the body's metabolic function, improves the body's immune ability, and promotes the normalization of the functions of all internal organs.
