HEALTH BENEFITS OF MUSHROOMS

You can’t go wrong with mushrooms. They’re fat-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They’re also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nutritional benefits vary depending on the type of mushroom. But overall, they are a good source of nutrients.

Contain immune modulating nutrients

Mushrooms contain active polysaccharides, one of which is a type of soluble fibre called beta-glucan. This compound activates parts of your immune system, including immune cells called natural killer cells and macrophages, and by so doing it increases your body’s ability to fight infection and possibly even stop the growth or progression of tumours.
Mushrooms also contain B vitamins as well as a powerful antioxidant called selenium, which helps support the immune system and prevent damage to cells and tissues.

May be helpful in maintaining heart health

Mushrooms have been shown to have some therapeutic properties which may help lower cholesterol, particularly in overweight adults. They also contribute nutrients and plant compounds that may help prevent cells from sticking to blood vessel walls and forming plaque build-up. This in turn helps protect the heart by maintaining healthy blood pressure and circulation.

May support gut health

Compounds in mushrooms, including beta glucan, appear to act as prebiotics, fuelling the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and promoting a favourable gut environment. This is important because a healthy gut plays an important role in maintaining our immune defences, digesting our food as well as communicating with the brain through nerves and hormones.

Blue oyster mushrooms are filled with Vitamin D

Blue oyster mushrooms are filled to the brim with rich nutrients that can lead you to a healthy lifestyle. One of those is vitamin D. Yes, that’s the same vitamin that you are supposed to get from sitting in the sunlight. These days, with long hours and the advent of work from home, people are barely going out of their houses anymore and are not able to fulfill their daily requirement of vitamin D. The benefits of vitamin D are only outweighed by the harm of not consuming enough of it. You can feel lethargic, weak and have low motivation to work throughout the day. This can adversely affect your productivity as well. In fact, vitamin D is incredibly important to make sure that your bones are strengthened as well.

Lion's Mane mushrooms offer several potential health benefits, and here are three main ones:

 

​

Cognitive Enhancement: Lion's Mane mushrooms contain compounds that may support cognitive function and memory. Some research suggests that they can stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF) production, which is essential for brain health and may help with conditions like Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline.

Nervous System Support: Lion's Mane mushrooms have been shown to have neuroprotective properties. They may help protect the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and support overall neurological health, making them potentially beneficial for conditions such as neuropathy.

Immune System Boost: These mushrooms contain bioactive compounds that can enhance the immune system. Consuming Lion's Mane may help your body defend against infections and illnesses by promoting the production of white blood cells and improving overall immune function.
