Remember the team of female runners from China that dominated long-distance running from early- to mid-1990s? They were dubbed Ma’s Army because their coach was Ma Junren. In addition to his tough training regimen, Ma attributed his charges’ amazing performances to a diet that included turtle’s blood and a curious animal-vegetable hybrid known as cordyceps.
During winter, high-altitude caterpillars are infected by the parasitic spores of a fungus.
The fungus then grows inside the caterpillars, killing them in the process. The fungus finally erupts from the petrified insects’ heads as a valuable sprout — cordyceps — that is harvested in the summer. Not surprisingly, the herb is called Winter Worm, Summer Grass in Chinese. It was said that the ancient Tibetans and Chinese discovered the health-boosting properties of cordyceps from observing yaks: those that grazed on pastures containing the ingredient could trek far longer that those that didn’t.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has long known about the health benefits of cordyceps; in particular, how it helps to: • replenish energy • enhance respiratory health and stamina • fortify the body’s immune system
1. Boost energy, improve vitality, lessen fatigue
The consumption of cordyceps • channels yang energy to the kidneys, supporting their function, thus improving vitality • enhances the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that aids in transporting energy within cells, thus improving energy flow on the cellular level (this was confirmed in a 2007 study by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)
2. Improve stamina and the respiratory system
The consumption of cordyceps • increases inter-cellular oxygen absorption levels, helping the body to process oxygen at higher rate • reduces the symptoms of respiratory diseases such as bronchitis and asthma in some studies
3. Support the immune system
The consumption of cordyceps • can aid in the strengthening of the body’s defence mechanism, because it contains polysaccharides and beta-glucan, which are anti-carcinogenic and antioxidant
