<Queen bee's food, full of vitality> Royal jelly is the food of queen bees, and it supports their incredible vitality and reproductive powers, so it is renowned as an ``elixir of immortality and longevity'' and ``a wonder potion of rejuvenation,'' and was even mentioned by Aristotle as far back as ancient times. ○ Function as a nutritional component Royal jelly contains a good balance of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins including essential amino acids, vitamins such as vitamin A, B1 , B2 , B6 , E, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, and minerals such as copper, phosphorus, zinc, and iron, centered around royal jelly acid ( 10- HPA) , which is thought to be the main active component.However, in addition to these, it is believed to contain unknown substances that have not yet been scientifically elucidated, known among experts as "R substances." <Affects the diencephalon and prevents aging of the autonomic nervous system> Royal jelly contains neurotransmitters such as taurine, a type of amino acid, acetylcholine, and vitamin B1 . It is believed that these act on the diencephalon, the center of the autonomic nervous system, and prevent the aging of the autonomic nervous system. This has a remarkable effect on autonomic nervous system imbalance and menopausal disorders. The autonomic nervous system adjusts the diameter of blood vessel walls, improving low blood pressure, and also has an effect on the seminal vesicles and penis, which are highly vascular, and is effective in treating erectile dysfunction. Stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system promotes glycogenolysis, which is also effective against chronic hepatitis. In addition, the hypothalamus in the diencephalon contains the sex center, appetite center, and body temperature center, so appetite can be increased and vitality can be restored. (Notable anti-cancer and dementia prevention effects) Royal jelly suddenly attracted attention when it was announced that it has anti-cancer properties. White blood cells, which control immune function, are produced in the bone marrow and lymphatic tissue, and it is thought that royal jelly works by helping the bone marrow produce blood cells. For this reason, royal jelly is also considered effective against the toxicity of radiation, which destroys hematopoiesis. Red blood cells are also produced in the bone marrow, and royal jelly contains iron, so it can also be expected to prevent anemia. Alzheimer's disease is caused by a decrease in acetylcholine. Royal jelly contains a large amount of acetylcholine, so it is expected to prevent the disease. Royal jelly also contains insulin-acting substances, and has been shown to suppress the production of angiotensin II, which causes high blood pressure, making it useful for improving and preventing diabetes and high blood pressure. ○Things to note: Royal jelly contains acetylcholine, so people taking anticholinergic drugs for Parkinson's disease or other conditions should avoid taking it as there is a risk of overdose.

〈生命力溢れる女王バチの食べもの〉 ローヤルゼリーは女王バチの食べものとして、その驚異的な生命力と繁殖力を支えていることから、「不老長寿の薬」「若返りの妙薬」として名高く、古くはアリストテレスも記しているほどです。 ○栄養成分としての働き ローヤルゼリーにはおもな活性成分と考えられるローヤルゼリー酸(10―HPA)を中心に糖質、脂質、必須アミノ酸を含むたんぱく質、ビタミンA、B1、B2、B6、E、葉酸(ようさん)、パントテン酸などのビタミン類、そして銅、リン、亜鉛(あえん)、鉄などのミネラルがバランスよく含まれています。しかし、これ以外にも専門家の間で「R物質」と呼ばれる、科学的にまだ解明されていない未知の物質も含まれていると考えられています。 〈間脳に作用し、自律神経の老化を防止〉 ローヤルゼリーにはアミノ酸の一種であるタウリンやアセチルコリン、ビタミンB1などの神経刺激伝達物質が含まれています。これらが自律神経の中枢である間脳(かんのう)に作用し、自律神経の老化を防ぐと考えられています。これにより自律神経失調症や更年期障害にめざましい効果があるのです。 自律神経は血管壁の直径を調整するので低血圧が改善されますし、血管が非常に多い精嚢腺(せいのうせん)やペニスにも作用をおよぼし、勃起(ぼっき)障害にも有効です。交感神経の刺激によりグリコーゲン分解が促進されるので、慢性肝炎にも効果がみられます。また間脳の視床下部(ししょうかぶ)には性中枢、食欲中枢、体温中枢があるので、食欲増進や精力回復が望めます。 〈注目される制がん作用や認知症防止作用〉 ローヤルゼリーに制がん作用があると発表され、一躍注目を浴びました。免疫機能をつかさどる白血球は、骨髄(こつずい)とリンパ組織で産生されますが、ローヤルゼリーは骨髄が血球を製造するのを助ける働きがあるためと考えられています。このためローヤルゼリーは、造血作用を破壊する放射能の毒性にも有効とされます。赤血球も骨髄で産生されるうえ、ローヤルゼリーには鉄分が含まれているので、貧血予防にも期待できます。 アルツハイマー型認知症はアセチルコリンの減少によって起こります。ローヤルゼリーはアセチルコリンを大量に含んでいるので、防止が期待されます。 またローヤルゼリーにはインスリン作用物質が含まれるほか、高血圧を引き起こすアンジオテンシンIIの生成を抑制する働きがあることも判明しており、糖尿病や高血圧症の改善・予防に役立ちます。 ○注意すべきこと ローヤルゼリーはアセチルコリンを含むため、パーキンソン病などで抗コリン剤を服用している人は、過剰摂取になるおそれがあるので摂取を避けてください。 出典 小学館食の医学館について 情報 |
