Eating mushrooms can boost your metabolism and boost your immunity

Mushrooms are known as "vegetable steaks". Recently, a foreign actress has been eating mushroom meals to lose weight, which has caused people in China to pay attention to the benefits of eating mushrooms. Nutritionists point out that mushrooms are low in calories, easy to make people feel full, and contain polysaccharides, which have antioxidant effects and can increase immune function. In particular, they are rich in dietary fiber, which can promote metabolism and improve the body's immunity. However, people with kidney disease, a history of gout, weak stomachs, or frequent diarrhea should reduce their mushroom intake.

Nutritionists point out that mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber, low in calories, easy to make you feel full, and contain polysaccharides that can enhance immune function.

Wang Zinan, a nutritionist at Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that mushrooms are a type of fungus and are different from ordinary vegetables. Mushrooms are mainly mycelium-like things that grow on rotten trees. They do not carry out photosynthesis and are decomposers. They have many nutrients and high nutritional value, including polysaccharides, dietary fiber, B vitamins, ergosterol, nucleic acids, minerals, etc. Mushrooms cannot be broken down by enzymes and cannot be absorbed by the human small intestine, but they can stimulate the proliferation and activation of the immune system.

Since mushrooms are a "low-residue food", after ingestion, the dietary fiber is absorbed by peristalsis, causing it to stay in the stomach and intestines for a longer time, resulting in the defecation effect being less than expected, and the effect of preventing constipation is limited. In addition, mushrooms themselves have antioxidant effects and can enhance the body's immune function. In addition, the calories in each meal of mushrooms are only about 20 calories, which is much less than eating rice cakes and the like. The umami flavor of mushrooms is excellent when mixed with other foods and cooked, making it a good "delicious supplement". It is also high in protein and is often known as "vegetable steak".
