The first nationally renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, Yao Xixian, was born in 1930. Though now in his nineties, he remains sharp-witted, quick-reacting, with keen hearing and clear vision, and still boasts a full set of natural teeth. He firmly believes there is no reason he cannot live to be 120 years old.
How does Mr. Yao maintain such excellent health? On Beijing TV’s “Health Talk” program, Mr. Yao summarized the five major benefits of lingzhi: nourishing and strengthening the body, reinforcing vital energy and cultivating the root, calming the spirit and relieving restlessness, fortifying the spleen and nurturing the stomach, and stopping coughs and easing asthma. He also shared his personal “secret to health”—regularly consuming lingzhi spore powder.
