A scientific article published in the journal Mediators of Inflammation highlights the specific compounds in mushrooms linked to lowering inflammation, explaining that this, in turn, helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases and some forms of cancer. “One meta-analysis found that regular mushroom eaters had a lower risk of premature death than those who did not eat mushrooms, while another study found an association between eating mushrooms and a reduced cancer risk,” Palinksi-Wade says.
2. Your gut benefits
Want to support your gut, AKA the key to supporting your entire body? Eating mushrooms regularly is one way to do it. “When you add more plant-based foods, like mushrooms, to your diet, you are naturally increasing your intake of dietary fiber, antioxidants and nutrients, which can have a positive impact on overall health. Adding mushrooms to the diet can be a great way to boost prebiotics, helping to improve overall gut health and support the immune system,” Palinski-Wade says. To her point, between 70 and 80% of the body’s immune cells are located in the gut, so when you support your gut, you’re simultaneously supporting your immune system.Related: The Surprising Food That's Good for Your Gut, According to Gastroenterologists
4. Your heart benefits
Registered dietitian Isabel Smith, RD, points out that mushrooms contain potassium and fiber, two nutrients that benefit heart health. “Potassium is a nutrient that is integral in helping support healthy blood pressure,” she says. As for fiber, scientific research has repeatedly shown that the nutrient plays a key role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing LDL cholesterol.
Both Smith and Palinksi-Wade say that when mushrooms are exposed to sunlight, they’re able to make vitamin D2, something other vegetables cannot do. “This supports bone health, immune function and calcium absorption in the body,” Palinski-Wade says.
6. Certain types of mushrooms support mental health
“Adaptogenic mushrooms are specific species that help the body adapt to stress, restore homeostasis and support resilience across systems—especially the HPA axis, immune system and nervous system,” Smith says. “These are natural substances that help the body adapt to physical, emotional and biological stress.”
As you can see, there are many benefits of eating mushrooms regularly, including some you can’t get from other vegetables. This autumn and winter, have fun integrating mushrooms into dishes like stir-fries, risotto, soups or simply sauteeing them with your favorite herbs.
