Researchers, scientists, dieticians and other medical and scientific professionals convened at the first ever Mushrooms and Health Summit, hosted in Washington D.C this past September. The focus of this summit was to facilitate cooperation and further explore the health benefits of the addition of mushrooms in the average American diet. Over 20 presenters offered compelling evidence supporting the nutritional and other health benefits of regularly consuming mushrooms.
"This meeting was instrumental to supporting what most of us already knew: that the average mushroom has the power to improve the health of thousands of Americans. Some of our most pressing health concerns such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and nutritional deficits can all be addressed by adding the humble mushroom to the average American diet," said moderator Roger Clemens, DrPH, Adjunct Professor of Pharmacology and Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy at the University of Southern California.
During the summit, study results demonstrating the many health benefits of eating mushrooms were offered. Some of those benefits outlined showed that:
• Mushrooms contain a large variety of macro and micro nutrients that are not commonly found in produce such as vitamin D, potassium and micronutrients such as ergothionene and selenium. Having these nutrients present in a non-animal based food product means that vegans and vegetarians will benefit from their consumption in order to reduce the reliance on dietary supplements.
• Mushrooms are low in calories and, because of their unique composition, can easily be substituted for meat products. This means that low carb dieters can substitute one meat serving with a plant based foodstuff and significantly reduce the number of calories in their daily intake. Not only does this reduce the number of calories consumed overall, but reduces the amount of saturated fat that is consumed, helping to reduce inflammation and cholesterol. Dieters can not only lose weight faster, they can keep it off longer and improve blood chemistry by simply making one substitute daily.
• Mushrooms have the ability to provide an immune system boost which prevents the spread of communicable diseases such as colds and the flu as well as reducing the severity of the symptoms.
Additionally, studies have shown that by using homegrown mushrooms rather than store bought varieties boost these health benefits as there are less nutrients lost due to exposure to harsh environmental conditions during packaging and shipping.
