Is eating mushrooms really good for health?

Eating mushrooms is good for your health.

Advantages of eating mushrooms: 1. The nutrition in mushrooms contributes to heart health and enhances immunity. 2. Different from other fruits and vegetables, mushrooms are rich in vitamin D, which is beneficial to bone health. 3. Mushrooms have strong antioxidant capacity and can effectively delay aging. However, it is worth noting that mushrooms are hair, so people who are allergic to mushrooms should avoid eating them. Moreover, the growth environment of mushrooms is very complicated, and some environments are prone to excessive heavy metals (especially artificially planted). Ingestion of heavy metals is very harmful to the human body, so it is necessary to eat mushrooms in moderation.

There are many kinds of mushrooms, which are delicious and deeply loved by the people. Many people think that mushrooms are plants. In fact, mushrooms belong to edible fungi, which is a general term for mushrooms in basidiomycetes, not plants. So there are no mushrooms in Plants vs Zombies 2.

Mushrooms are composed of hyphae and fruiting bodies. The hyphae are equivalent to the roots of plants, which is not easy for us to see. The fruiting body is the umbrella handle and umbrella surface that we usually eat. Since ancient times, China people have affirmed the nutritional and medicinal value of mushrooms. Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica holds that it is sweet and cool, and it has the effects of benefiting qi, regulating middle energizer, promoting fluid production, moistening dryness, clearing away heat and toxic materials when entering the spleen and stomach and intestines. Modern scientific research also found that mushrooms contain high protein (about 3%~4%), almost twice as much as asparagus, spinach, potatoes and other vegetables. The amino acids that make up these protein are also diverse, especially rich in lysine, which is essential for human body. In addition, mushrooms are rich in iron, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, manganese and mineral elements, vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, nicotinic acid (vitamin B complex), vitamin C and other vitamins and enzymes. Some researchers also believe that mushrooms contain many compound antibacterial ingredients, which can enhance human immunity. Some researchers have found that mushroom culture solution can inhibit common bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli, but people take 250 ml orally without any side effects. The distribution of nutrients in different parts of mushrooms is different. Generally speaking, the cap of mushroom is more nutritious than the stalk.

In this case, can we think that the more mushrooms we eat on the table, the better? Of course not! As we said just now, mushrooms are extremely rich in vitamins. If you eat too much at a time, it will not only hinder the body's absorption of iron, but also easily cause vitamin indigestion. Is that really the case? Success is Xiao He, failure is me? .

Indigestion is still a small problem. What's more, mushrooms are rich in methionine, which is converted into cysteine by digestive enzymes. This substance is a famous reducing agent, which can prevent biological aging. It accumulates on human skin, mucous membrane and the surface of digestive organs, which can prevent foreign bodies from invading. However, when there is too much cysteine, it will deposit on the arterial wall, which is easy to cause arteriosclerosis.

This is not the most serious problem. After metabolism, most vitamins in mushrooms will eventually become nitrogen-containing waste, which needs to be excreted through the kidneys. When people reach old age, the functions of various organs decline. At this time, if you don't pay attention to your diet and eat a lot of mushrooms, it will only make the burden on your kidneys more serious.

The most tragic problem is that mushrooms have a particularly strong adsorption capacity for heavy metals. One of the treatment methods in many areas polluted by heavy metals is to plant a large number of mushrooms. After these heavy metals enter the human body, they will eventually lead to kidney necrosis. Therefore, some experts suggest that it is best not to eat more than 200 grams of mushrooms every month.
