Happy Mushroom Month!

	The health benefits of mushrooms include:
1. Helps Cholesterol Levels: Mushrooms provide you with lean proteins with no cholesterol or fats and very low carbohydrates. The fiber & enzymes in them, also, help lower cholesterol levels. In addition, the high lean protein content in mushrooms helps burn cholesterol when they are digested.
	Omni Smart®, also known as "liquid drano" for your heart, has minerals & natural ingredients that support heart & blood vessel function. Good for anyone with a heart! Heart attack & stroke are the leading causes of death for people over the age of 50. People who have a family history of heart disease would especially benefit from this product using it preventatively. Helps to lower cholesterol & blood pressure.
2. Breast Cancer & Prostrate Cancer: Mushrooms are very effective in preventing cancer of breast & prostrate due to presence of Beta-Glucans & Linoleic Acid, which have anti carcinogenic effects. Linoleic acid is particularly helpful in suppressing effects of estrogen. This estrogen is the prime reason for breast cancer in women after menopause. The Beta-Glucans inhibit growth of cancerous cells in prostrate cancer. Selenium in mushrooms is very effective in inhibiting cancerous cells, as well.

Also called phytochemicals, phytonutrients are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits & vegetables that work together with vitamins, minerals, & fiber to promote good health. These phytochemicals have been found to have properties to aid in disease prevention. 4 of the leading causes of death in the Western countries include: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, & hypertension. Phytochemicals are associated with the prevention &/or treatment of these diseases. They are involved in preventing cell damage, preventing cancer cell replication, & decreasing cholesterol.
3. Helps Diabetes: Mushrooms can be an ideal low energy diet for diabetics. They have no fats, no cholesterol, very low carbohydrates, high proteins, vitamins and minerals, a lot of water and fiber. They contain natural insulin and enzymes which help with the break down of sugar or starch of the food. Diabetics often suffer from infections, too, & the natural antibiotics in mushrooms can help protect them.

4. Helps Immunity: Ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant in mushrooms is very effective in giving protection from free radicals as well as boosting immunity. Mushrooms contain natural antibiotics, similar to penicillin, which inhibit microbial & other fungal infections. They also help heal ulcers as well as ulcerous wounds.

6. More Benefits: Mushrooms are the only vegetable and the second known source (after cod liver oil) to contain vitamin-D in edible form. They are rich in calcium, iron, potassium, copper,an anti-bacterial, and selenium, which is very good for health of bones, teeth, nails, hair and as an antioxidant. The best source of selenium is animal proteins. So, mushrooms can be the best choice for vegetarians to obtain selenium.
A word of Caution:  Many mushrooms are poisonous, so be careful.  Don’t ever try picking them up from the woods unless you can identify them very well. Do not trust unknown vendors, too. Always trust sealed products from reputed companies or those which you grow yourself under controlled conditions after buying their seeds (called spawns) from a trusted source.
