Break down the health effects of saliva on men

　　Nutritional components and functions of saliva

　　Saliva, commonly known as "saliva", is secreted by the salivary glands. Almost all of it is swallowed and absorbed into the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract. In recent years, through exploration by scientists, it has been discovered that saliva plays an indispensable "role" in maintaining normal life activities of the human body. Swallowing your own saliva every day can improve beauty, cure diseases and extend life, and it is an anti-cancer weapon that cannot be ignored.

　　It is mainly secreted by the salivary glands. The human body has multiple salivary glands. The minor salivary glands are distributed in the mucosa of various parts of the oral cavity. There are four glands of the lip, cheek, tongue, and palate. The major salivary glands include the parotid gland, sublingual gland, and submandibular gland. The parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands are the main saliva secreting organs. While secreting saliva, they are controlled by the cerebral cortex and are also affected by diet, environment, age, emotion or salivary gland lesions. It is normal for a person to secrete 1,000-1,500 ml of saliva every day. Modern medical research shows that more than 99% of saliva is water, but the remaining 1% contains potassium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus and other trace elements and more than 500 types of proteins.

　　“Qi is a life-prolonging medicine, and Jin is a life-prolonging medicine. ”The most attractive substance contained in saliva is the parotid gland hormone discovered by the late Japanese physician Chisaburo Ogata. This hormone is secreted by the parotid gland, one of the three major salivary glands. Many scholars believe that it is the "rejuvenating" hormone.

　　Parotid gland hormone can increase the vitality of muscles, blood vessels, connective tissue, bone cartilage and teeth, especially strengthen the elasticity of blood vessels and improve the vitality of connective tissue. As long as the parotid gland hormone is filled, the blood vessels and skin The functions of interstitial and connective tissue will be strengthened, and the elasticity of the skin will be maintained. However, after a person reaches middle age, the parotid glands begin to shrink and the hormones they secrete gradually decrease. Regular pharyngeal movements can delay parotid gland atrophy.

　　Generally, people with strong physiques have relatively abundant saliva secretion. The elderly and frail people often suffer from insufficient saliva secretion, dry mouth and tongue, dry skin, declining physical strength, tinnitus and hearing loss, and loss of facial luster. constipate In such situations, by using the saliva-swallowing regimen, you can regain your youth and resist aging.

　　Saliva has 8 magical effects on human health

　　Digestion: Saliva can "bundle" chewed food into "food balls", which is easier to swallow. At the same time, saliva contains amylase, which can break down the starch in food into maltose, which not only makes people feel sweet, but also allows food to enter the digestion process in the mouth.

　　Anti-inflammatory effect: Saliva contains antibacterial ingredients such as lysozyme and secretory immune protein globule A, which can inhibit or eliminate hemolytic streptococci, typhoid bacilli, Escherichia coli and Grape cocci, etc., thereby preventing inflammation of the gums, mouth and throat.

　　Cleansing effect: The average saliva secretion volume per person per day can reach 1000-1500 ml. Food residues accumulate in the human mouth, creating conditions for bacteria to multiply. The constant flow of saliva in the mouth is equivalent to cleaning the teeth in time, thereby keeping the mouth clean and healthy。

　　Mouth-protecting function: The sodium, potassium, phosphoric acid, calcium, protein, glucose and other nutrients contained in saliva can maintain the pH of the mouth and adjust the pH value. The dissolution and deposition of enamel on the tooth surface is a dynamic process. Calcium ions, phosphate ions and fluoride ions in saliva play an important role in protecting enamel.

　　Healing effect: Dutch researchers found that histone-rich proteins in human saliva can significantly shorten wound healing time. Therefore, in the case of sudden injury and inconvenient cleaning, you can apply some saliva on the wound.

　　Anti-cancer effect: Japanese researchers have discovered that saliva can eliminate superoxide free radicals produced by carcinogens. The disinfection process of saliva lasts not only in the mouth, but also in the stomach for 30 minutes. Chew each mouthful of food 30 times to fully mix saliva and food, remove free radicals to the greatest extent, and achieve the best anti-cancer effect.

　　Detection function: Scientists can use saliva samples to check the levels of drugs in patients. Test with saliva instead of blood sample AIDS It has also begun to be applied in practice. Currently, scientists are also studying the use of saliva to detect diabetes, heart disease, cancer wait disease method. Saliva sampling is simple and easy to operate, and will become a trend in medical development.

　　Anti-aging effect: Saliva contains a kind of "saliva-parotid hormone" that can keep people young. It can make people smart, have strong teeth, and strong muscles. In this way, even when people are old, their faces will be rosy and their youthful vitality will not be reduced.

　　Only when you chew slowly can the role of saliva be maximized. After understanding this knowledge, men should better protect their saliva and do a good job in health care.
