Earlier this year, I shared how medicinal mushrooms are taking the nutrition world by storm, and they're still gaining momentum!

There are so many ways to use medicinal mushrooms. You can learn everything you want to know about the health benefits of mushrooms over on the Freshcap Mushroom Blog and more about mushrooms on this section of their blog.

Potential Anti-Tumor and Anti-Cancer Properties

Asian countries like China and Japan have already seamlessly incorporated mushrooms and mushroom-derived medications into their cancer treatment programs.

Studies show that the polysaccharides in some mushrooms like reishi and turkey tail may have anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties.

Patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer show positive results when including mushroom extracts and medications into their regimen — likely thanks to the stimulation of NK cells to fight cancer cells.

Getting Better Sleep with Mushrooms

The Chinese call Reishi the “mushroom of immortality,” and Americans call it “nature's Xanax” thanks to its mild sedative effects on the nervous system.

People take Reishi Supplements and nighttime tea for its anti-anxiety calming effects. It's best to take adaptogens and medicinal mushrooms like Reishi every day. The natural powers of Reishi work overtime, and you might not feel the effect immediately.

Reducing Inflammation with Lion's Mane

Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder May Reduce Inflammation

If you have a lot of unexplained health issues, chronic inflammation may be the culprit. Studies show that this mushroom is beneficial for reducing inflammation on multiple fronts.

Thanks to its antioxidants from polysaccharides and beta-glucans, it's also a top-choice for supporting the immune system.

Improves Energy Levels

Athletes love cordyceps because this fungus improves oxygen uptake and enhances blood flow to stimulate energy and improve physical performance.

What mushrooms are good for weight loss?

Eating mushrooms is particularly good for weight loss. Blending mushrooms and adding them into ground beef 50/50 will cut down on calories and fat while adding a lot of nutrition.

How about mushrooms for the Immune System?

Reishi, Lions Mane, Chaga, Turkey Tail, and Cordyceps are all good for immune system function. I take Ultimate Mushroom Complex to help keep me from getting sick as often. Because I've been diagnosed with reactivated EBV in the past, I often take both the Ultimate Mushroom Complex and Chaga.

Now, I'm going to make myself a Chaga Pumpkin Spice Latte while you listen to this episode with Tony and Tegan!
