It turns out that the "poor man's bird's nest" is actually an expert in fighting cancer

　　I believe everyone knows what kind of food bird's nest is. When the body is weak and needs to nourish the body, bird's nest is often eaten. Bird's nest is too expensive and is a food that none of us can afford. Tremella fungus is not expensive in our lives. It has the same power as bird's nest, which is to prevent cancer. Regularly drinking some Tremella porridge in daily life can not only maintain the body but also prevent the invasion of many cancers.

　　Tremella is the fruiting body of the Tremellaceae plant, commonly known as white fungus. This product gets its name because it is white in color and looks like a human ear. Tremella is parasitic on decaying trees and is mostly found in southern provinces. Dry white fungus is in the shape of irregular flakes, composed of many small and buckling strips. The appearance is yellow-white or yellow-brown, slightly shiny, hard and brittle, and has a special smell. Dry, yellow-white, large flowers, light body, shiny, and thick gelatin are preferred. This product has significant shrinkage properties and swells when exposed to water, reaching a volume 25 times that of dryness. Tremella is a nourishing and strong product that can be used both as food and medicine. Regardless of whether it is used as medicine or food, it must be swollen with cold water first, then washed, and the roots of sediment and impurities are cut off before use. This processed white fungus is called "water-haired tremella".

　　Tremella has a sweet taste and a neutral nature. Its main functions are nourishing yin and moistening the lungs, nourishing the stomach and promoting fluid production, clearing away heat and stopping bleeding. It is commonly used clinically to treat lung deficiency with heat, dryness and cough, blood in sputum, hemoptysis and epistaxis, senile wheezing and tuberculosis. It is also commonly used to treat long-term illness and late stage of febrile disease, physical weakness and weak qi, deficiency of heat, thirst, loss of appetite and other symptoms. In addition, this product is also a good medicine for treating blood metrorrhagia, gastric bleeding, and hemorrhoid bleeding: To clinically treat women's blood metrorrhagia, 15 to 30 grams of white fungus is often stewed in soup or steamed in a rice pot. After swelling and erosion, add rock sugar and take it three times a day. After taking it; to treat gastric bleeding, often take 15 to 30 grams of white fungus and soak it in water overnight, then boil it until mashed, add an appropriate amount of sugar, and take it three times a day; to treat hemorrhoid bleeding, often take white fungus as powder, take 1 spoonful each time, 3 times a day.

　　Modern pharmacological research has found that Tremella fuciformis has certain anti-cancer effects and can reduce the reaction of cancer after radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The reason why Tremella fuciformis has these effects is closely related to the ingredients contained in Tremella fuciformis: the acidic heteropolysaccharides and neutral heteropolysaccharides contained in Tremella fuciformis have an inhibitory rate of 45% to 91.7% on cancer. At the same time, Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides can also improve the body's immune function, reduce the damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy to the human body, and promote the recovery of the hematopoietic function of the damaged hematopoietic system. Therefore, Tremella fuciformis is often used clinically with related foods and drugs to treat various cancers.

　　Common anti-cancer prescriptions

　　(3) Patients with yin deficiency caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy: 9 grams of Tremella fuciformis, stewed with rock sugar and taken daily for 2 to 3 months.

　　The main anti-cancer component of Tremella fuciformis is the polysaccharides contained in it, which can also reduce the reactions of radiation and chemotherapy.

　　You can use the above methods to eat white fungus in daily life. Although it is not bird's nest, it is no worse than bird's nest in preventing cancer. In addition to these Tremella fuciformis, they also have a good lung-moistening effect. Especially in autumn, eating more Tremella fuciformis can prevent colds and coughs.
