What Are The Hazards Of Radiation To Humans? Why Can Cistanche Deserticola Resist Radiation?

Radiation has an undeniable impact on human life and health, including electromagnetic radiation and ion radiation. Electromagnetic radiation mainly comes from electrical equipment, mobile communication equipment, and microwave ovens, while ion radiation comes from natural radiation and nuclear radiation. Radiation can cause damage to human cells and cause many diseases, such as cancer and immune system disorders. As a traditional Chinese medicine, Cistanche deserticola is believed to be able to resist radiation, so is this statement true? This paper will analyze the radiation resistance principle of Cistanche deserticola in detail.

1、 The harm of radiation to the human body

Radiation refers to the sum of phenomena such as ionization, excitation, or destruction caused by the transfer of energy through air or media. In human life, there are many types of radiation, including natural radiation and artificial radiation. Natural radiation mainly consists of energy emitted by the sun, thermal radiation within the Earth, and radiation in the air; Artificial radiation includes ionizing radiation (such as X-ray γ Radiation, nonionizing radiation (such as microwaves, mobile communication devices, etc.), and nuclear radiation.

There are several physiological damages that radiation may cause to the human body:

1. Chronic radiation disease: long-term radiation exposure will damage Genetic material such as DNA and RNA, resulting in the decline of immune function and cancer and other diseases.

2. Acute radiation sickness: Short-term exposure to high doses of radiation can directly affect body tissues and organs, causing acute symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, skin burns, shock, etc.

3. Genetic damage: radiation can also damage human Germ cells and have adverse effects on the health of future generations.

4. Other effects: Radiation can also cause blood diseases, cataracts, immune system disorders, skin diseases, etc.

Cistanche deserticola deserticola is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which has the effect of nourishing, beautifying, and beautifying. The ancient book Shennong Ben Cao Jing once recorded: "Cistanche deserticola is sweet, gentle, and knowledgeable. It can cure rheumatism, strengthen waist and shin, improve qi, improve eyesight, and remove facial blisters." In recent years, research has shown that Cistanche deserticola also has a certain anti-radiation effect.

In 1999, researchers from the Institute of Radiation Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted an anti-radiation experiment on Cistanche deserticola. The results showed that Cistanche deserticola could significantly reduce the physiological damage of mice after radiation. Later, many researchers at home and abroad have also conducted experimental studies on the anti-radiation effect of Cistanche deserticola, and the results show that Cistanche deserticola can indeed resist radiation to a certain extent.

So, how does Cistanche deserticola exert its anti-radiation effect? The following will analyze the main functional components of Cistanche deserticola and its mechanism of action to answer this question.

1. Main effective ingredients of Cistanche deserticola

Cistanche belongs to Konjacaceae, and its main functional components are Cistanche deserticola glycosides and phenols. Cistanche deserticola glycoside is a natural phytosterol compound and one of the main Active ingredients of Cistanche deserticola. In addition, Cistanche deserticola also contains a variety of trace elements and vitamins, such as iron, potassium, zinc, selenium, vitamin B, vitamin C, etc., which play a certain role in the health care of the body's immune system.

2. Mechanism of Cistanche deserticola

From the above analysis, it can be seen that the ingredients contained in Cistanche deserticola have various health effects on the human body, and the main mechanisms of its anti-radiation effect are as follows:

Cistanche tea

(1) Antioxidant effect: Cistanche deserticola glycoside is a powerful free radical scavenger, which can significantly reduce the generation of free radicals in mice after radiation, thereby reducing the oxidative damage of radiation to tissues and cells.

(2) Immune regulation: various trace elements and vitamins contained in Cistanche deserticola can regulate the function of the human immune system, enhance human immunity, and improve the ability to resist radiation.

(3) Supplement Nutrition: Cistanche deserticola contains a variety of trace elements and vitamins that can supplement the nutrition needed by the human body, enhance the resistance of the body, and reduce the damage caused by radiation.

3、 Conclusion

People often use electrical and mobile communication devices, but they overlook the harm these devices can release to the human body. Cistanche deserticola, as traditional Chinese medicine, can resist radiation, which provides us with a new way to prevent radiation.

From the above analysis, it can be seen that the anti-radiation effect of Cistanche deserticola is caused by its multiple Active ingredients, which can inhibit the generation of free radicals, improve immunity, supplement nutrition, and other functions. Therefore, the resistance of the body can be enhanced by drinking Cistanche deserticola water or brewing Cistanche deserticola tea properly to reduce the impact of radiation on the human body.

In a word, we should reduce the chance of exposure to electromagnetic radiation in our daily life. At the same time, drinking herbal drinks such as Cistanche deserticola tea is also an effective way to treat a variety of diseases caused by radiation, which is also the latest achievement in the research of traditional Chinese medicine pharmacology.
