Eating 2 servings of mushrooms can protect cognitive function and keep your brain healthy
by Melissa Smith

(Natural News) For many years, mushrooms have been used in traditional medicine for healing purposes. Today, these edible fungi are continually being studied for the potential health benefits of consuming them. A recent study found that eating mushrooms can keep your brain sharp and healthy later in life.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine in Singapore found that eating at least two servings of mushrooms every week could slash your risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by half. MCI is the stage right before dementia in which a noticeable decline in cognitive function manifests. Older adults with this condition typically display some form of memory loss or forgetfulness. They may also exhibit deficits in other cognitive functions such as attention, language, and visuospatial abilities. However, the changes can be subtle and won’t affect their day-to-day activities.
