It is a decomposing fungus that lives on dead trees, being very nutritious and rich in proteins.<\/span>\u00a0with nine\u00a0<\/span><\/span>essential amino acids<\/span>. It is found in brown color and has arrows that grow between 5 and 10 cm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It's good for the heart:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mushroom shiitake<\/span>\u00a0has three compounds that help lower cholesterol <\/span><\/p>\n

Eritadenine: inhibits an enzyme involved in cholesterol production;<\/span><\/p>\n

Sterols: help block the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine;<\/span><\/p>\n

Beta glucans: This type of fiber helps lower cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Improves immunity<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h3>\n

shiitake<\/span><\/span>\u00a0can also help strengthen the immune system. One study, in which participants took two\u00a0shiitakes<\/span>\u00a0dried daily, demonstrated that after a month there was an improvement in immunological markers and a drop in inflammation levels.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Helps prevent cancer<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Polysaccharides present in mushrooms\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0can also have an anticancer effect. The polysaccharide lentinan, for example, helps fight tumors by activating the immune system <\/span><\/p>\n

However, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether mushroom ingestion\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0has any effect on cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Promising antibacterial and antiviral effects:<\/span><\/p>\n

Various compounds of the\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0have antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects. As antibiotic resistance increases, some scientists believe it is important to explore the antimicrobial potential of\u00a0shiitake<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, despite the compounds of the\u00a0shitake<\/span>\u00a0isolates have shown antimicrobial activity in test tubes, it is not yet proven whether eating\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0has some effect on viral, bacterial, or fungal infections in people.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can strengthen your bones:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mushrooms are the only natural source of vitamin D. Your body needs vitamin D to build strong bones, but very few foods contain this important nutrient.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mushrooms' vitamin D levels vary depending on how they're grown. When exposed to UV light, they develop higher levels of this compound.<\/span><\/p>\n

In one study, rats fed a diet low in calcium and vitamin D developed symptoms of osteoporosis. In comparison, those fed\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0with calcium and UV presented greater bone density.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Possible side effects<\/strong>:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Most people can consume\u00a0shiitake<\/span>\u00a0safely, although some side effects may occur. In rare cases, people may develop a rash from eating or handling raw shiitake.<\/span><\/p>\n
