Boost in energy

ARE you feeling constantly run down and fatigued most of the time? This may be your body alerting you that something has gone amiss.

Most of the time, fatigue is connected to emotional and physical stress. The worries and strains of life’s demands stemming from work, family and relationsh­ips can be exhausting, leaving you restless and worn out.

Tiredness is also attributed to one or more lifestyle factors, such as inconsiste­nt sleep, lack of exercise, poor nutrition, irregular mealtimes and overconsum­ption of alcohol.

Fatigue can be a symptom of a weak immune system or underlying medical conditions. Needless to say, constant exhaustion can take a toll on you if left untreated.

It can pose profound consequenc­es on your health, job performanc­e and overall quality of life.

Combating fatigue

It is time to adopt a healthy lifestyle and fuel your body with the essential nutrients it needs to keep your immune system working up to par.

Get enough sleep and rest, manage stress, have a regular exercise regime, consume a nutritiona­lly balanced diet, stay hydrated and stay away from known stress factors.

You can also increase your nutritiona­l intake by taking herbal supplement­s.

Enhance your energy and vitality

Ganoderma lucidum, also known as lingzhi or reishi, has a long tradition of use in Asian countries, particular­ly China and Japan.

It is a medicinal fungus with a variety of bioactivit­ies that has long been praised for being one of the best folk remedies for its capability to promote health and longevity.

The major health benefit of lingzhi is its ability to help moderate the immune system.

It acts bi- directiona­lly to normalise the immune systems by bringing it down when it is overstimul­ated and ramping it up when it is weakened.

A strong body with a robust immune system is vital for optimal health maintenanc­e, not only to prevent weariness, but also to fend off serious illnesses such as cancer.

Besides its immune- enhancing benefits, lingzhi may also help to boost energy, improve the body’s recovery and healing ability, reduce fatigue as well as nourish the heart, liver, lungs and kidney.

Recent studies discovered that lingzhi spores are more potent than the fruiting bodies. The spores are cracked using advanced technology to facilitate the release of the active ingredient­s.

The essence of lingzhi obtained from cracked spores is more readily absorbed by the body and hence offers greater curative efficacy.

Besides lingzhi, other medicinal mushrooms such as shiitake, cordyceps and yunzhi have gained much attention due to their various therapeuti­c properties.

A proprietar­y blend of medicinal mushrooms can be an excellent adjunct to boost your immune health and overall quality of life.
