摘要

猴頭菇（Hericium erinaceus）其營養成分含量豐富，包含許多活性成分，被認為具有調節免疫、抗氧化、抗發炎、抗腫瘤的效果，也可促進神經生長因子NGF的產生。森林浴經研究可以降低血壓及血糖、降低人體唾液中皮質醇的濃度，穩定自主神經系統的活動。而健走活動可消耗身體過多的熱量，促進血液循環；消除精神壓力，提升睡眠品質。本研究探討5位男性及12位女性中高齡者在台灣宜蘭棲蘭山的森林浴健走搭配食用猴頭菇，並使用生物能訊息分析系統（iFEEL）來觀察受測者的身體機能表現，發現男性、女性受測者平均在經過三天的森林浴健走活動並搭配食用猴頭菇後，與第零天相比有明顯能量提升，分別在軀幹增加49.79%、48.26%；氣管48.62%、46.16%；心臟血管50.99%、43.47%；胸部淋巴管54.33%、55.51%；大腦49.14%、50.52%的能量；男性、女性皆以胸部淋巴管的能量提升最多。

Hericium erinaceus is a well-known edible and medicinal mushroom. It rich in nutrition and it contains some bioactive components. It also considered to have the effects of immunomodulatory, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-tumor and can also promote the production of nerve growth factor. Forest bathing has been reported that can decrease blood glucose and blood pressure, reduce the concentration cortisol in saliva, reduce prefrontal cerebral activity and stabilize autonomic nervous activity in humans. Exercise can consume excess calories, promote blood circulation, relax for relieving stress and improve the sleeping quality. This study explored the forest bathing activities of the middle-aged (45-64 years old) 5 males and 12 females at Cilan forest recreation in Ilan Taiwan with Hericium erinaceus intake. It would be observed the body performance of the subjects using the iFEEL bio-energy message analysis system. It found that the male and female persons after three days in the forest bath exercise and intake H. erinaceus, the energy significantly increased in the trunk by 49.79% and 48.26%, trachea 48.62% and 46.16%, cardiovascular 50.99% and 43.47%, chest lymphatic 54.33% and 55.51%, brain 49.14% and 50.52%, respectively. The energy in chest lymphatic had most improved in both males and females.
