I remember as
a teenager reading the book ‘She’ by H. Rider Haggard. The major character in the book was the
mysterious Queen Ayesha; the beautiful 2,000 year- old ruler of the Lost World
of Kor. After reading the book, the thought of living forever sounded really frightening!
It’s not my intention to frighten you
this weekend, but to let you know that instead of thinking of walking into the ‘Fire
of Life’ as attempted by Queen Ayesha (so she could live forever), we can thankfully
live long healthy lives with self discipline and a bit of help from Nature.
The help
comes from my Herb for the week - Ganoderma. It’s also known as Reishi, Lingzhi,
or to the Vietnamese as Linh chi (literally meaning “supernatural
mushroom"), but popularly known as the ‘King of Herbs’! Ganoderma is a hard mushroom discovered over
2,000 years ago and used in traditional Chinese medicine to help promote good
health and longevity.Amongst its numerous health benefits, studies have shown
that Ganoderma also helps to:
·
protect
against disease AND slow down the ageing process (yippee!!) due to increased
levels of antioxidants
·
reduce
cholesterol levels
·
ease
allergy-related inflammation of the airways
·
strengthen
the immune system by significantly increasing T-cells
For
thousands of years, the Emperors took this mushroom for longevity. It was
popularly known as “The Elixir of Youth” or “The Immortality Herb”!
In a United
States Patented invention (US Patent No. 7060286 B2 June 13 2006) it was shown
that Ganoderma helps protects against the degeneration of skin cells. The
related studies showed that Ganoderma helped to smoothen the skin, reduce
wrinkles and also had age defying properties.
Today, I’m
the bearer of good news for coffee drinkers (and tea drinkers too)! Some really
smart people have found an ingenious way of infusing Ganoderma into Coffee and
Green Tea. This is a pleasant and easy
way to enjoy the benefits Ganoderma without having to worry about the not so
pleasant taste of the mushroom!
So before you have another cup of Coffee or Green Tea, go to this link http://richercoffee.organogold.com/r/UK/
and try some that has been infused with Ganoderma and see the difference for yourself!
And don’t just take my word for it, do some research and you’ll
find out that Ganoderma truly is the King of Herbs!
Enjoy your cuppa and have a restful weekend!
