The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of food processing, and particularly relates to a nutritional composition for nourishing heart and a method for preparing the same.
Fast-pace and high-intensity work, deliberate competition, ceaseless stress, long-term metal strain and so on are heavy burdens for people in modern society. Moreover, when reaching middle ages, people's physiological functions decline, and many people develop syndromes of kidney deficiency in traditional Chinese medical science, such as palpitation, shortness of breath, tinnitus, dizziness, pale facial complexion, declined physical functions, cold extremities, mental fatigue, and sleeping disorder, all of which further form invisible metal stress, and seriously affect the life quality. According to the traditional Chinese medical science Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor, “the heart governs the blood and vessels”, “the vessels are the house of the blood”, “all the blood is affiliated to the heart”. The heart governs the blood, and the blood circulates in the vessels. The heart and the vessels are closely associated. The vessels are channels for the blood circulation, and the heat has the function of promoting the circulation of the blood in the vessels so as to nourish the whole body. This function is realized through the effect of the heart qi (vital energy). The ups and downs of the heart qi can be reflected by changes of blood vessels, therefore, it is stated in Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor that “the heart cooperates with the blood vessels, the essence of which is reflected from the facial color”. If the heart qi is vigorous, and the blood vessels are filled up, then the pulse is gentle and powerful. If the heart qi is insufficient, and the heart blood is deficient, then the pulse is thin and weak or irregular. If the heart blood is obstructed, then the pulse is unsmooth or intermittent. In the traditional medicines of more than 5000 years of the Chinese nation, some natural plant drugs indeed have curative effects in repairing and improving the heart functions. The invaluable experience, handed down from generation to generation, upon continuous application, development, and perfection of medical experts and health experts of successive dynasties, has become a type of unique natural plant drug (Chinese herbal medicine for nourishing the heart) with the efficacy of nourishing the heart. However, every medicine has its side effect, and long-term consumption of a lot of Chinese herbal medicine inevitably will cause damages to other aspects of the body.

Experiment Materials:
1. Animals: SPF ICR mice, half of them being male and half of them being female, with a body weight of 18-22 g
2. Product for experiment: the nutritional compositions of Examples 1 to 7 of the present disclosure and rice.
3. Experiment Method:
80 mice of 18-22 g, half of them being male and half of them being female, were randomly divided into 8 groups according to sex and body weight, respectively being a control group, and seven test groups (Examples 1 to 7). Except the control group, the mice of all the other groups were administrated by gavage with the corresponding nutritional compositions of Examples 1 to 7 by 2 g/kg each time, three times a day for 20 d continuously, and the control group was administrated by gavage with an equal amount of rice. The administration by gavage was continued for 20 d, and 1 h after the last time of administration by gavage, the mice were subjected to intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium, to observe the time that the righting reflex of the mice disappeared and restored and record the sleep duration for 2 h in total, wherein the sleep duration was recorded as 2 h when it exceeded 2 h. Experiment results are shown in Table 3.
The results indicate that the nutritional compositions of the present disclosure can significantly increase the sleeping time of the mice, and Examples 1 to 7 have extremely significant differences from the control group (P<0.01).
