"Doctor, tell me, is this because of the honeysuckle water?"
Uncle Li asked, blinking his eyes, which were a little cloudy from his age. The 65-year-old retired driver, who started boiling water with honeysuckle every day a year ago, has a habit that sounds simple, but it has brought about unexpected changes.
Originally, it was just to regulate his body, but he didn't expect that a year later, his indicators were not only stable, but also improved, and even the doctor was surprised: "Uncle Li, indeed, honeysuckle has helped you a lot." The doctor nodded while looking at Uncle Li's thick medical records.
Honeysuckle, whose scientific name is honeysuckle, has been used as a medicinal material as early as ancient times, mainly having the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, dissipating wind and heat, and cooling blood. Honeysuckle is rich in bioactive components such as chlorogenic acid, honeysuckle, etc., which have a positive impact on human health in many ways.
"Then let me tell you, this honeysuckle not only makes me healthy, but even my wife says that I have more energy and better temper this year." Uncle Li said, with a smug smile on his face.
Doctors say chlorogenic acid has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective functions. Long-term consumption of plant teas rich in chlorogenic acid can effectively reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve blood lipid levels. This may be because chlorogenic acid helps maintain the health of the cardiovascular system by improving blood circulation and inhibiting inflammation.
"Actually, Uncle Li, honeysuckle also has a very interesting effect, maybe you haven't noticed." The doctor looked at Uncle Li and said mysteriously, "It can also improve sleep." "Oh? I really don't know! When Uncle Li heard about this new discovery, he couldn't help but be even more curious.
"Yes, the extract of honeysuckle can prolong sleep duration and improve sleep quality. This can be a natural solution, especially for older people who suffer from frequent insomnia. The doctor explained.
After hearing this, Uncle Li nodded again and again, thinking in his heart that if he could sleep well tonight, he would have to praise this honeysuckle to his old friends when he went for a walk in the park tomorrow.
"By the way, doctor, I heard that honeysuckle also has the effect of improving immunity, is this true?" Uncle Li's questions are like a never-ending spring, always endless.
"That's right, Uncle Li. Honeysuckle does have an immune-boosting effect. "Actually, some of the ingredients in honeysuckle can stimulate the activity of the immune system and improve the body's ability to fight off foreign pathogens. ”
The doctor went on to explain that the chlorogenic acid and flavonoids contained in honeysuckle were the key. These compounds act on specific cellular pathways in vivo, thereby enhancing the phagocytosis of immune cells such as macrophages and the activity of T cells.
These cells are the body's frontline fighters against disease. Uncle Li listened to it with relish, and these topics were both novel and practical to him. The more he listened, the more he felt that honeysuckle was simply a treasure.
"This honeysuckle is such a good thing! Why didn't I pay so much attention to it before? Uncle Li shook his head with emotion, and had decided in his heart that he would go home to check more information about honeysuckle, and continue to drink it every day.
