King Oyster Mushroom is a good helper for your health with high fiber and low fat

Cathay Pacific chef Ming said that King Oyster Mushroom is very beneficial to the human immune system. It is a healthy food that is low in fat and high in fiber. It contains a variety of vitamins such as B1 and B2, and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. What is more noteworthy is that the polysaccharides unique to mushrooms can stimulate the human body to inhibit the proliferation of cancerous cells, enhance the activity of lymphocytes, and reduce the production of free radicals in the body. In addition, the rich dietary fiber in King Oyster Mushroom can reduce the absorption of calories and fat, and shorten the time that feces stay in the intestines. Therefore, it is a good food for people with obesity, high blood lipids, diabetes and constipation.
