According to a study done by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms regularly could reduce breast cancer risk by almost two thirds. The study, performed in China, looked at at least 2000 girls, part of whom had suffered from breast cancer. Researchers discovered the ladies that dined on about 33 % of an ounce of fresh mushrooms each day had decreased the risk of theirs of creating a tumor by sixty four %. Dried mushrooms didn't have quite the same advantage, but still decreased the danger "by around half." The study also found the women who often drank green tea, mixed with their daily serving of fresh mushrooms, reduced their risk by 90 %. When reporting this analysis in 2009, The Telegraph proceeded to say that animal tests show mushrooms have "anti tumor qualities which enable it to stimulate the body's immune system's defenses." Mushrooms might do this by blocking "the body's creation of the hormone oestrogen, that might motivate the development of cancer."  
  
A vegetarian diet "provides a wide variety of cancer-protective dietary factors," in accordance with a study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A vegetarian diet reduces obesity. This study's author notes that obesity increases cancer risk, and that because the Body Mass Index (BMI) "of vegans is substantially less than that of non-vegetarians," a plant-based diet "may be a significant protective factor for lowering cancer risk." Mushrooms are lower in calories and are 80-90 % water, that makes them a terrific replacement for meat whenever you are wanting to cut energy.  
Mushrooms have been studied extensively for their health advantages because they have been found to aid the immune phone system. These thick, smooth, earthy fungi develop in a huge number of varieties, and most of them are rich in potassium, selenium, copper, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and B-complex vitamins. One medium Portobello mushroom has more potassium than a small banana. Five moderate cremini mushrooms have more selenium than a big egg or perhaps 3 ounces of lean beef. Additionally, the copper of mushrooms helps you create red blood cells, which transport oxygen through your body. Mushrooms are an outstanding source of the antioxidants known as polyphenols, selenium, and ergothioneine. Ergothioneine is a master antioxidant, an amino acid that contains sulfur. Sulfur is an extremely important nutrient, yet Check it is typically overlooked.  
There are lots of styles of mushrooms, thousands of which are poisonous, therefore do not pick them in the wild. Generally buy them from a reputable and reliable supplier. Search for mushrooms which are smooth, clean, and fresh in appearance. to be able to clean them, use a gentle mushroom brush or wet paper towel to get rid of any parts that look dirty or mushy. You are able to rinse them, but don't soak them. Keep them refrigerated in the first box until you are ready to use them. They will keep as much as 7 days in the fridge in a porous paper bag, but never add mushrooms in an airtight container and don't freeze them. Always trim the end of the stem before you put on mushrooms. If the stems are far too tough, you just need to use the caps.  
Adding mushrooms to dishes is easy. Thinly slice them for salads, pasta dishes, and sandwiches or serve them as a side dish. Grilling them is always great, and mushrooms make a tasty and healthy replacement for a burger. I really love to saute them with onions as well as butter to bring out the rich taste of savory mushrooms. Each mushroom has a different flavor, hence experiment by trying various varieties.
