Eating mushrooms has been associated with various health benefits, and several studies have explored the potential positive effects of incorporating mushrooms into our diet.

Apparently, eating about 18 grams of mushrooms per day can help lower the risk of developing cancer. This is true according to several different studies taken from 1966 to 2020. Mushrooms contain a high amount of ergothioneine, which helps prevent or slow down damage done at the cellular level, which means that it is also a great anti-aging product. We must note here that some mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster, king oyster, etc., have higher amounts of ergothioneine.

According to a study by the Culinary Institute of America and UC Davis, eating mushrooms greatly favors a reduction of your sodium intake. In other words, mushrooms contain a low amount of sodium and, at the same time, have a nice flavor, which reduces the need for adding salt to your food.

Apparently, eating mushrooms can have a positive effect against mild cognitive impairment. This condition can often come before developing Alzheimer’s disease. According to a study made in Singapore, people who eat more than two cups of mushrooms every week have a 50% lower risk of developing mild cognitive impairment.
