Why should you mushrooms daily?

Mushrooms are the little umbrella shaped fungi, which are edible. Mushrooms can be poisonous too, but they come in different colors and not suggested to eat.

But, here in this video, we'll talk about the edible “button mushrooms” which are high in vitamin B, and D and high in fiber with low calories.

Mushrooms are also known as “vegetable meat” because of the high level of protein present in them.

Mushrooms offer numerous health benefits and are backed by scientific evidence.

Here are top 5 health benefits of eating mushroom daily:

Research suggests that, eating only 18-20 grams or 2 mushrooms daily can decrease the risk of cancer by 45%. Mushrooms contain a potent antioxidant and amino acid named ergothioneine, that decreases the rate of cellular damage and cancer.

Another research suggests that adding mushrooms to your diet can reduce your intake of sodium leading to controlled blood pressure. About 1 cup of mushroom provides about 5-6 mg of sodium, which ultimately leads to decrease in use of salt.

A study of Singapore, confirmed that people who ate at least 2 bowls of mushroom in a week had a 50% lower risk of mental problems like Alzheimer's disease and memory loss.

Because mushrooms helps in growth of brain cells and neurons that supports overall brain health.

Mushrooms are a greater source of vitamin D, as they also increase their vitamin D levels with exposure to sunlight, just like humans.

So, if you are vitamin D deficient, or calcium deficient, then mushrooms are the best option for you. Vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium in your body, so, you can increase the vitamin D levels in mushrooms by keeping them in sunlight for 10-15 minutes and then eat them.

Mushrooms are rich in prebiotics, which increases the growth of good bacteria in stomach by the help of polysaccharides present in them. Good bacteria are required for a healthy gut and better digestion of food.

Benefits of mushrooms don't end here. Mushrooms are way more beneficial to health.

From boosting the immune system to promoting weight loss and many more, mushrooms become the best food to be included in our daily diet.
