Could a shiitake mushroom a day help keep the doctor away?
A new University of Florida study shows increased immunity in people who ate a cooked shiitake mushroom every day for four weeks.
Of the thousands of mushroom species globally, about 20 are used for culinary purposes. Shiitake mushrooms are native to Asia and are cultivated for their culinary and medicinal value.
In a 2011 study from the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, 52 healthy adults, were given a four-week supply of dry shiitake mushrooms. Participants took the mushrooms home, cleaned and cooked them. Then they ate one, 4-ounce serving of mushrooms each day during the experiment.
Through blood tests before and after the experiment, researchers saw better-functioning gamma delta T-cells and reductions in inflammatory proteins, beneficial changes in their immune systems.
Consuming the mushrooms enhanced the immune system and also reduced the inflammation that the immune system produces.
