Eating mushrooms at least twice a week has shown to prevent memory and language problems later in life. The fungi contain chemicals that boost nerves in the brains by preventing inflammation. A study of eleven different types of mushrooms found they increased grey matter by raising production of a chemical called (nerve growth factor (NGF).
Another study found that the mushroom Lion’s Mane can also help regenerate brain cells and improve the functioning of the hippocampus; a region of the brain responsible for processing memories and emotional responses.
Very promising stuff!
