Daily 5 small sized mushrooms will be cured of cancer, heart and brain will also be healed
Mushroom Benefits: Mushroom is a food in which there is no shortage of nutrients. The vitamins and minerals present in it make the diet balanced. A recent report says that heart-related diseases also help in fighting cancer and dementia. According to new research, eating only 5 small size mushrooms a day can have many benefits to the body.
Why are mushrooms beneficial?
According to researchers, this is due to 2 main antioxidants - Ergothioneine and Glutathione. These substances play an important role in neutralizing damaging 'free radicals', which are the cause of many serious diseases.
Robert Beelman, director of the Penn State Centre for Plant and Mushroom Products for Health in the USA, said, "We found that mushrooms are a great source of these two antioxidants."
Mushroom varieties
14,000 types of mushrooms are found worldwide, including Portobello, Enoki, Porcini, Chanterelle, Stinkhorn, Puffball, Dung Cannon, Hair ice or Hydnellum peckii.
Poisoned mushrooms
Some of these are poisonous and their names are equally terrible. Such as Deadly Dapperling, Destroying Angels, Death Cap, and Autumn Skullcap. Some psychedelic mushrooms are so strange that they have been outlawed by many countries.
However, there are many mushrooms that are rich in nutrients. According to the Mushroom Foundation of India, mushrooms are rich in protein, carbohydrates and vitamins, low in calories and hence heart and diabetes patients are advised to eat them.
Protein powerhouses
are rich in protein compared to grains, fruits and vegetables, which retain protein even after cooking. Since mushrooms are low in calories, high protein, high fibre content and high potassium-sodium ratio, they are ideal for diabetics and hypertension patients, the researchers said.
