WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT MUSHROOMS' HEALTH BENEFITS
WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT MUSHROOMS' HEALTH BENEFITS
Antioxidants • Cancer • Functional Properties • Lipid Control • Nutrient Composition • Vitamin D • Weight Management
For thousands of years, Eastern cultures have revered mushrooms' health benefits. Studies conducted over the past two decades—mostly in Asia—have suggested mushrooms or substances in mushrooms may aid the immune system. Traditionally, most of this science has focused on shiitake and maitake mushrooms.
See below for a list of existing research on the nutrients in mushrooms and how they may help in disease prevention. This research is just the beginning of what is sure to be an exciting journey into a fuller understanding of mushrooms and your health!

Although it seems almost equal enjoyment of meat, fat mushroom womb so that a lower more healthy for consumption. Mushroom polisakrida change the cellulose into a cholesterol-free so that people who mengkonsumsinya avoid the risk of stroke is exposed to attack. In addition, the matrix protein fungus also higher compared with other food ingredients that come from plants.

Besides the food, mushrooms are also nutritious as medicine.
1. Shiitake mushroom
Polisakarida contain lentinan or dissolved in the water. Arranged in the form of beta -1.3, beta glukan with -1.6 and -1.3 glukopiranosida beta. Per this compound may prevent cancer and tumor growth to 72-92%. Shiitake mushroom is so widely used as a treatment of cancer and tumor diseases.

2. Mushroom Tiram
Low cholesterol can prevent the disease high blood (hypertension) and safe for them yag vulnerable to heart attack, oyster mushroom is also good to be consumed by pregnant women and breastfeeding.

3. Mushroom Merang
Merang mushrooms contain a compound eritadenin nutritious as anti-toxic, in addition merang fungi also contain a kind of antibiotic that is less nutritious prevent blood (anemia), cancer and decrease high blood pressure.

4. Mushroom ear
Mushroom ear mucus trusted by the Chinese to increase the resistance the body, expedite the flow of blood, reduce cholesterol level and neutralize compound-toksik or toxic compound in the vegetable when cooked together.

Mushroom (Fungus)
Recognize Mushroom or Fungus
Mushroom (Fungus) is a plant that does not have klorofil so it can not do photosynthesis to produce their own food. Mushroom by taking a life-nourishing substances, such as cellulose, glucose, lignin, protein and starch compound from other organisms. With the help of the enzyme produced by hifa (the mushroom shaped like a fine thread, and sometimes fork length), food is described a compound that can be absorbed for growth. Therefore, the fungi classified as heterotrofik plant, the plant life that depends on other organisms.
