Lycium barbarum has anti-aging effect, which is closely related to Lycium barbarum polysaccharide. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can improve the phagocytosis of phagocytes and the proliferation of lymphocytes.
In addition, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide has many other functions.
1. Improve disease resistance and inhibit tumor growth.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide is a water-soluble polysaccharide, which consists of arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and rhamnose. It has physiological activity, can enhance non-specific immune function, improve disease resistance, inhibit tumor growth and cell mutation.
2. Anti-fatigue and radiation resistance.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can significantly increase the storage of glycogen and hepatic glycogen, and improve the total activity of blood lactate dehydrogenase before and after exercise; Reduce the increase of blood urea nitrogen after strenuous exercise and accelerate the clearance rate of blood urea nitrogen after exercise. Lycium barbarum has the function of resisting Y-ray radiation and protecting the body.
3. Regulate blood lipids and lower blood sugar and blood pressure.
Lycium barbarum can effectively reduce the contents of triglyceride and cholesterol in serum of patients with hyperlipidemia. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can obviously enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in damaged islet cells, improve the antioxidant capacity of islet cells, reduce the damage of peroxide to cells and reduce the production of endogenous dialdehyde. It can reduce the contents of malondialdehyde and endothelin in plasma and blood vessels, increase the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide, and prevent the formation of hypertension.
Four. Protect the reproductive system
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide can improve the level of serum sex hormones in testicular injury; Improve the organ coefficient of testis and epididymis, increase SOD activity of testis, reduce MDA content, and restore the damaged testis to near normal level.
5. Improve your eyesight.
Human retinal photoreceptors are composed of retinol and opsin. The abundant B- carotene in Lycium barbarum can be converted into vitamin A in human body, and vitamin A can produce retinol, thus improving vision and preventing macular diseases.
Beauty beauty nourishes the skin.
Lycium barbarum polysaccharide and b-carotene are powerful antioxidants, and the synergistic effect of selenium and vitamin E contained in Lycium barbarum forms a strong antioxidant capacity. In addition, vitamin A can also maintain the growth and differentiation of epithelial tissue, prevent dry skin and keratinization of hair follicles, thus playing a role in beauty beauty and moisturizing the skin.
Seven. Protect the liver.
Betaine contained in anti-fatty liver Lycium barbarum can inhibit fat deposition in liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration. At the same time, it can prevent liver dysfunction caused by carbon tetrachloride, so Lycium barbarum has a clear role in protecting liver and resisting fatty liver.
Although Lycium barbarum has a good nourishing and therapeutic effect, it is not suitable for everyone. Because it has a very strong warm-up effect, people with colds, fever, inflammation and diarrhea had better not eat Lycium barbarum, especially those with weak constitution and poor resistance. And we must persist for a long time, and eat a little every day to be effective.
