Last time I shared with you the personal experience I had with drinking a healthy coffee.  Today, I wanted to share something that one of my friends has expressed happened when they drank this healthy coffee for a few months.  They said their blood pressure had dropped.  So being the research nerd I am I started studying more about this cool herb in my healthy coffee.  Here is what I uncovered.

Healthy Coffee Lowing Blood Pressure

Healthy Coffee Lowing Blood Pressure

The Ganoderma Lucidum also known as reishi, an active ingredient in healthy coffee, is a form of medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine for many years. It has been described in Chinese medicine as the “mushroom of immortality” due to its many health benefits. The Reishi mushroom, according to the Chinese medical book Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic positively affects the Qi of the heart and relieves chest tightness. The ancient Chinese believe that long term consumption of the herb will lighten the body and lengthen the years.

Drinking coffee everyday is not detrimental to our health anymore. Coffee with Ganoderma as its active ingredient has many health benefits, to wit: anti-tumor properties, anti-allergenic, antiviral, antioxidant, and antihypertensive. Laboratory studies have found that the Reishi mushroom extracts shows anti neoplastic effects against some types of cancer cells. Their animal model shows that Ganoderma prevents cancer metastasis.

People with problems on their high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels can benefit highly from the Ganoderma herb. The Ganoderma extracts reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis. It also aids in improving the High density Lipoprotein (good cholesterol). Preventing the increase of cholesterol levels in the blood also prevents the risk of certain heart diseases and strokes.

Ganoderma mushroom is known to contain anti-hypertensive properties due to the presence of triterpines, a class of a hydrocarbon that helps lower down blood pressure by inhibiting the synthesis of the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) which effects to the dilation of the blood vessel to accommodate the increase in blood flow. The increase in blood flow is accompanied by the increase of blood pressure. Increasing blood pressure is the body’s compensatory mechanism to stress situations.

It is important to note here that Ganoderma is something organic; therefore, coffee that is mentioned is that of an organic coffee. For many of us who drinks coffee everyday, it is a relief that we can still drink coffee without compromising our health.
