Eating 5 mushrooms a day may help combat heart disease, cancer: study

Low in calories and packed with essential vitamins and minerals, mushrooms make for an excellent addition Ito your diet and according to new research, eating just five small mushrooms a day could help combat a range of diseases, including heart disease, cancer and dementia.

This is due to two key antioxidants ergothioneine and glutathione. These substances play a significant role in neutralising damaging 'free radicals', which are implicated in a variety of severe diseases, according to researchers.
