Even small portions of mushrooms have a positive effect on our health, so we should eat them every day. It doesn’t take much... Mushrooms contain antioxidants that prevent dementia, heart disease, and cancer. Several studies have confirmed that mushrooms are the best source of antioxidants.

The most important is the presence of glutathione, which affects the defense mechanisms of cells, which are at their weakest at the end of winter. The fact is that we have been losing our immune system all winter long, so every contribution to strengthening the immune system is extremely important.

When there is more sun outside, we will move more, eat richer food, and our immune system will also recover and strengthen. But until that happens, mushrooms are truly the best culinary and medicinal delight.

Several studies have confirmed that in countries where more mushrooms are eaten (France and Italy are at the top), the percentage of patients with dementia is correspondingly lower. It is enough to eat just 3 mg of different kinds of mushrooms per day (which amounts to approximately 5 mushrooms). This means you can eat porcini, chanterelles, and of course also button mushrooms. Their healing effects are equally effective regardless of form: mushrooms can be cooked, pickled, or even raw.
