Researchers recently made a 'surprising and encouraging' discovery about mushrooms
Older people who eat more than two portions of mushrooms a week could cut their odds of having mild cognitive impairment by 50%, according to a recent six-year study of Chinese men and women over age 60 that was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease.
This mushroom discovery is “surprising and encouraging,” researcher Lei Feng, a professor in the Department of Psychological Medicine at the National University of Singapore, said in a statement. “It seems that a commonly available single ingredient could have a dramatic effect on cognitive decline.”
The researchers studied six types of mushrooms including golden, oyster, shiitake and white button mushrooms, as well as dried and canned mushrooms, though they added it was likely that other types of mushrooms could have cognitive benefits too. Of course, this study does not prove cause and effect. But it does hint that this healthy food may help keep you sharp. And it’s not the only one that researchers think can help our brains.
