Even small portions of mushrooms have a beneficial effect on our health, so we should eat them every day. It doesn't have to be 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 thing is the presence of glutathione, which affects the defense mechanisms of cells, which are most vulnerable at the end of winter. The fact is that our immune system has been weakening throughout the winter, so every contribution to strengthening the immune system is extremely important.
Once there is more sunlight outside, we will be more active and eat richer foods, our immune system will also repair and strengthen. But until that happens, mushrooms are truly the best culinary and medicinal delight.
Several studies have confirmed that in countries where people eat more mushrooms (France and Italy are at the top), the proportion of dementia patients is appropriately lower. It is enough to eat 3 mg of mushrooms of various kinds per day (which amounts to approximately 5 button mushrooms). This means you can eat porcini mushrooms, chanterelles, and of course button mushrooms. Their healing effects are equally effective regardless of the form: they can be cooked, pickled, or even eaten raw.
