摘      要：Aging is an unavoidable topic in everyone s life, and the aging problem has been puzzling scientists for many years. For thousands of years, we ve used many tools to extend life span, and today, new technologies and medical treatments have extended the average human lifespan by about two years in a decade. The incidence of heart disease, tumors and degenerative diseases increases with age. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the use of herbs or guidance techniques can improve blood circulation, increase heart function, delay aging and prevent the development of tumors. Cardiac glycosides (CGS) are glycoside compounds that stimulate cardiac muscle significantly.
