How Mushrooms Boost Your Health

Mushrooms are edible fungi that you should include in your diet. They are packed with beneficial nutrients and have numerous unique health benefits. 

Mushrooms contain the following beneficial nutrients:

  • Vitamin B2
  • Vitamin B9
  • Selenium
  • Copper
  • Potassium
  • Vitamin D

These nutrients protect your overall health and help you perform your best each day.

Many types of edible mushrooms contain antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals in your body, which are molecules that cause tissue and cell damage. 

Free radicals are believed to be one of the main causes of aging. When you eat plenty of antioxidant-rich foods, you are combating age-related health issues. 

Mushrooms are low in calories and high in nutrients, making them an essential part of a healthy diet. If you are trying to lose extra pounds or maintain your weight, mushrooms can be a great substitute for high-calorie meats. 

Some studies on mushrooms have shown improvements in participants’ blood pressure levels after consuming them. This may be because mushrooms are rich in potassium, a nutrient that relaxes your blood vessels. 

One of the best benefits of mushrooms is their immune-boosting properties. Mushrooms provide your immune system with beneficial compounds to help you fight off health threats.

Celebrate by Taking AHCC® Supplements 

With National Mushroom Day coming up, we have a quick, easy way to celebrate. Add AHCC® supplements to your daily routine for a healthy dose of immune-boosting properties.* 

AHCC® is a proprietary blend of mycelia, which are medicinal mushroom roots. Our AHCC® supplements give your immune system a big boost in defending your health.* 

There are several ways AHCC® supplements help your immune system.* AHCC® increases the number and activity of dendritic cells, which stimulate other immune cells to start defending your health.* 

AHCC® supplements also regulate the activity of natural killer cells and T-cells.* These immune cells are responsible for identifying and neutralizing foreign threats to protect your body. 

AHCC® helps macrophages function properly.* Macrophages engulf (or eat) harmful particles circulating in your system.* 

Overall, AHCC® supplements strengthen your immune response, so you can stay healthy and feel your best all year long.* We offer three AHCC® supplements: AHCC® Gold, AHCC® Platinum, and AHCC® Pro.

You can choose the AHCC® supplement that best meets your immune system’s needs. We recommend the stronger AHCC® supplements for people who often face health threats and feel under the weather.

Forage for Mushrooms

One of the best ways to celebrate Mushroom Day is to get out and look for wild mushrooms. Don’t let the process intimidate you; it can be much easier than you might think. 

Start your mushroom foraging journey by reading up on the different species of wild mushrooms. This will help you avoid toxic and potentially fatal fungi. 

You can find region-specific guides for wild mushrooms online or at local bookstores. If you have friends who regularly forage for mushrooms, ask them for advice on getting started. 

Visit your nearest national park, forest, or another wooded area to find naturally-growing mushrooms. Even if you only do this once, you can still have a fun time looking through various plants in nature. 

Spending time outdoors is good for your mental and physical health. Tune in to yourself and the natural world by foraging for mushrooms to celebrate National Mushroom Day this year.

Cook New Mushroom Recipes 

A good way to celebrate Mushroom Day is by adding new recipes to your cookbook. There are many creative ways you can incorporate mushrooms into your meals. 

Mushrooms work well as a meat substitute, side dish, or sauce base. They easily take on the flavors of the foods and spices they are cooked with. 

If you are following a vegetarian, vegan, or low-meat diet, mushrooms are a wonderful addition to many dishes. You can meet some of your daily protein requirements with just mushrooms alone. 

You can also use mushrooms in soups. This is a good way to get extra nutrients in without overpowering the flavor of your soup mixture. 

There are different species of mushrooms that add various flavors and textures to recipes. Research which mushrooms work best in certain types of recipes and pick them out at your local grocery store or farmer’s market. 

If you are feeling up to foraging, you can even pick your mushrooms yourself. Make sure you follow a safety guide carefully before consuming any wild mushrooms.
