Give the medicinal benefits of mushrooms
Medicinal
values of the some important mushroom are given below:
1.
Good for heart
The
edible mushrooms have little fat with higher proportion of unsaturated fatty
acids and absence of cholesterol and consequently it is the relevant choice for
heart patients and treating cardiovascular diseases.
2.

3.
Prevents cancer
All
forms of edible mushrooms, and white button mushrooms in particular, can
prevent prostate and breast cancer. Fresh mushrooms are capable of arresting
the action of 5-alpha-reductase and aromatase, chemicals responsible for growth
of cancerous tumors. The drug known as Polysaccharide-K (Kresin), is isolated
from Trametes versicolor (Coriolus versicolor), which is used as
a leading cancer drug.
4.
Anti-aging property
The
polysaccharides from mushrooms are potent scavengers of super oxide free
radicals. These antioxidants prevent the action of free radicals in the body,
consequently reducing the aging process. Ergothioneine is a specific
antioxidant found in Flammulina velutipes and Agaricus bisporus which
is necessary for healthy eyes, kidney, bone marrow, liver and skin.
5.
Regulates digestive system
The
fermentable fiber as well as oligosaccharide from mushrooms acts as a
prebiotics in intestine and therefore they anchor useful bacteria in the colon.
This dietary fibre assists the digestion process and healthy functioning of
bowel system.
6.
Strengthens immunity
Mushrooms
are capable of strengthening the immune system. A diverse collection of
polysaccharides (beta-glucans) and minerals, isolated from mushroom is

numerous macrofungal species are called edible mushrooms.
