Introduction to Lotus Seed and Gorgon Fruit Porridge

Sub-health is a disease that most modern people will have, usually due to stress, improper diet, irregular living habits, too little exercise, etc. In traditional Chinese medicine, sub-health is divided into several types, and what we are going to talk about today is a common type: heart and spleen deficiency type.

The symptoms of this type of deficiency of both heart and spleen are: forgetfulness, irritability, insomnia, dreaminess, fatigue, easy sleepiness, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, loose stools, etc. The cause is due to excessive stress, overwork, excessive thinking, and improper diet. Overwork and excessive thinking hurt the mind, and insufficient heart blood will easily lead to forgetfulness, irritability, insomnia, and dreaminess. Worry hurts the spleen and stomach, and irregular diet hurts the spleen and stomach qi, which will cause abdominal distension, loss of appetite, loose stools, etc.

How to adjust: find out where the mistake is and correct it. That is, be in a good mood, combine work and rest, don't be too tired, and have a regular diet, don't have one meal and no next, and have a regular daily routine. In terms of diet therapy, eat more foods that calm the mind and strengthen the spleen, such as: lotus seeds, longan, jujube seeds, red beans, Euryale ferox, Poria cocos, coix seeds, Schisandra chinensis, etc.

The lotus seed and Euryale ferox porridge I made today has the effect of calming the heart and strengthening the spleen. It is a very good diet therapy for people with sub-health of "heart and spleen deficiency type". If you have a soy milk machine at home, you can make it into rice paste, which is better to drink.

What are you waiting for? Make this bowl of loving porridge for him after a busy day. His health is our biggest concern, isn't it?

Effects of lotus seed heart 1. Antihypertensive effect. Crystallized lotus seed alkaloids extracted from lotus seed heart have a short-term antihypertensive effect. When changed to quaternary ammonium salt, a strong and lasting antihypertensive effect appears. Oxymethyl-liensin alkaloid methyl sulfate quaternary ammonium salt has a strong and lasting blocking effect on the vagus ganglion, but it does not cause a lasting antihypertensive effect through the vagus nerve; spinal cord cat and dog head cross-circulation tests both pointed out that its antihypertensive mechanism is mainly peripheral. Non-crystalline alkaloid Nn-9 of lotus seed heart has a strong antihypertensive effect. Intravenous injection of 1-2 mg/kg in anesthetized cats can reduce the original blood pressure level by about 50% and maintain it for 2-3 hours; the blood pressure of dogs recovers in half an hour; rabbits do not reduce blood pressure. It has rapid tolerance. Further experiments have proved that the antihypertensive mechanism of this alkaloid is mainly the release of histamine, which dilates peripheral blood vessels, and secondly, it is also related to neural factors.

2. Cardiovascular effects: Intravenous injection of 1-2 mg/kg of amorphous alkaloid Nn-9 to anesthetized cats can reduce blood pressure by 50% and maintain for 2-3 hours; the same dose can only last for 30 minutes for dogs; it has no antihypertensive effect on rabbits, and has rapid tolerance to the antihypertensive effect on cats and dogs. The antihypertensive mechanism of Nn-9 is mainly the release of histamine, which causes peripheral vasodilation, and is also related to neural factors. Intravenous injection of 10 mg/kg of lianxin alkaloid to anesthetized cats also has a short-term antihypertensive effect, which recovers in 10-20 minutes; but if it is changed to quaternary ammonium alkaloid, a strong and lasting antihypertensive effect will appear. From the experimental results, crystalline lianxin alkaloid is not the main antihypertensive component, while amorphous alkaloid Nn-9 has a strong antihypertensive effect.

3. Effect on smooth muscle: Demethylcoclamine has a significant smooth muscle relaxant effect.
