Next time you are at the market aisle, pick up an immune booster—The Mushroom.
Mushrooms are one of the few foods that contain germanium,
a trace mineral that helps your body use oxygen efficiently and prevents
against damaging effects of free radicals. Many mushrooms are
also good sources
of selenium, an antioxidant mineral, as well as copper, niacin, potassium and
phosphorous. Additionally, mushrooms provide protein, vitamin C and iron.
Because their cells walls are indigestible unless exposed to heat, you must
cook mushrooms to get their nutritional benefits.
A 2016 paper published in Plant Foods for Human Nutrition
demonstrated that a powder of dried white button mushrooms seemed to help
reduce the risk of metabolic disorder, which is implicated in many chronic
health issues. The Journal of the American College of Nutrition published a
small study in 2015 demonstrating that shiitake mushrooms boosted the human
immune system when eaten daily.

- Helps boost cardiovascular health.
