The “cleaning blood vessels” mentioned by the subject probably refers to the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Unfortunately, I can only say no. Even though the black fungus polysaccharide contained in black fungus has the effect of lowering blood lipid and antithrombotic, any food cannot cure diseases.
We all know that black fungus is an edible fungus with high nutritional value and delicious taste. To know whether black fungus can really clear blood vessels, we must start by analyzing the important active ingredient in black fungus – black fungus polysaccharide.
Studies have shown that black fungus polysaccharide has a number of pharmacological effects, including regulating immune function, lowering blood lipids, antithrombotic, antiaging, antitumor, lowering blood sugar, anticoagulation and many other important functions. Some scholars have conducted experiments on mice[1], and found that black fungus polysaccharide can promote the total cholesterol content, free cholesterol content, cholesterol lipid content, triglyceride content and The lipoprotein content was significantly reduced.At the same time, some scholars conducted experimental research on rabbits[2] and found that black fungus polysaccharide can significantly prolong the formation time of specific thrombus and fibrin thrombus, and at the same time can shorten the total length of thrombus, It can also reduce the total wet weight and total dry weight of the thrombus, and at the same time, it can also reduce the number of platelets in experimental rabbits, reduce the adhesion rate of platelets and blood viscosity, and can significantly shorten the dissolution time of guinea pig blood protein and reduce the plasma protein content of guinea pigs. , and at the same time increase the activity of fibrinolytic enzyme, that is to say, within a certain dose range, black fungus polysaccharide can play a role in lowering blood lipid and antithrombotic.
But we have to be clear, first of all, the amount of black fungus polysaccharide contained in black fungus is very limited, and the amount of black fungus we can eat in one meal is very small. The amount of black fungus polysaccharide that can be ingested is even less, and it is impossible to achieve the effect of clearing blood vessels, unless you eat it every day, but this will lead to additional risks caused by unbalanced diet.
And it should be noted that the black fungus polysaccharide is currently only found in experimental animals to have hypolipidemic and antithrombotic effects, whether it can have the same effect on the human body, and how much to achieve. Only the dose can have the effect of clearing blood vessels, and scientists have not thoroughly studied it at present. So usually we eat fungus, just eat it as an ordinary vegetable, don’t expect to rely on the fungus to clear blood vessels or cure diseases.
In fact, any food is the same, and it cannot have the effect of “diet therapy”. If it does, it will have a psychological effect at most. I hope my fans can not believe or spread rumors.
