An MD and breast cancer survivor explains why shiitake, maitake, and button mushrooms fight cancer. They contain vitamin D and beta-glucans, compounds that activate natural killer cells to target precancerous cells. Add them to stir-fries and soups.
Asian mushrooms, shiitake, maitake, and even the button mushrooms, they are a wonderful food source. They actually have vitamin D in it, which is hard to get from food, but they are rich in these beta-glucans, and these beta-glucans have been shown to improve our immune system, right? They can help our natural killer cells go around, these cells in our immune system go around and gobble up precancerous cells and viruses in our body. They've been shown to also improve the gut immune system. So mushrooms are a wonderful thing to start start to incorporate, if you're not already, into, you know, your stir-fry or a soup.
