Can Chinese wolfberry be planted in the south?

As we all know, Chinese wolfberry is of great significance to human health. It can take care of the body and is a favorite fruit. The quality of Ningxia wolfberry in the north of China is ahead of all parts of the country and has become the representative of Chinese wolfberry. So, can Chinese wolfberry be planted in the south?

Can Chinese wolfberry be planted in the south?

It can be planted, but the quality of the fruit is poor, mainly by picking leaves and cooking. Chinese wolfberry can be roughly divided into two categories: vegetable and medicine. in the south, it is mostly used for vegetables, and the varieties are fine-leaf Chinese wolfberry, big-leaf Chinese wolfberry and so on. Medicinal use is more common in the north, the main varieties are Jin Lycium barbarum and Lycium barbarum.

Second, the efficacy and function of Lycium barbarum

1. Immune regulation

Lycium barbarum is rich in Lycium barbarum polysaccharides. Lycium barbarum polysaccharides is a kind of water-soluble polysaccharide, which is composed of arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose and rhamnose. It has physiological activity and can enhance non-specific immune function. Improve disease resistance and inhibit tumor growth and cell mutation.

two。 Anti-aging

Immune senescence is closely related to apoptosis. Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP) can obviously improve the phagocytic function of phagocytes and the proliferation ability of lymphocytes.

. Anti-tumor

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides are not only a biological response regulator to regulate immune response, but also play an anticancer effect through neuro-endocrine-immunomodulatory network.

4. Anti-fatigue

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can significantly increase the storage of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen, increase the total activity of blood lactate dehydrogenase before and after exercise, reduce the increase of blood urea nitrogen after strenuous exercise, and accelerate the clearance rate of blood urea nitrogen after exercise. This shows that Lycium barbarum polysaccharides play a very obvious role in eliminating fatigue.

5. Anti-radiation damage

Chinese wolfberry can resist Y-ray radiation and protect the body. it can be used as an auxiliary drug to cooperate with anti-tumor therapy such as radiotherapy, reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, improve the curative effect and protect the immune function of the body.

6. Regulate blood lipid

Chinese wolfberry can effectively reduce the contents of triglyceride and cholesterol in serum of rats with hyperlipidemia, has obvious functions of reducing blood lipids and regulating lipid metabolism, and plays a positive role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

7. Hypoglycemia

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can significantly enhance the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in damaged islet cells, improve the antioxidant capacity of islet cells, reduce the damage of peroxides to cells, and reduce the production of internal dialdehyde, which indicates that Lycium barbarum polysaccharides has a certain protective effect on islet cells.

8. Lower blood pressure

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can reduce blood pressure (systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure), reduce the contents of malondialdehyde and endothelin in plasma and blood vessels, increase the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide, and prevent the formation of hypertension.

9. Protect the reproductive system

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides can increase the level of serum sex hormone, increase the organ coefficient of testis and epididymis, increase the activity of SOD in testicular tissue, reduce the content of MDA, and restore the damaged testicular tissue to close to the normal level.

10. Improve eyesight

The human retinal photoreceptor is composed of retinol and retinol. The rich B-carotene in Chinese wolfberry can be converted into vitamin An in the human body, while vitamin A can produce retinol to improve vision and prevent macular disease.

Although the efficacy and role of Chinese wolfberry is quite many, but should not be excessive, excessive can lead to fever, nosebleed, and even cause eye swelling and discomfort.
