all right Dr Lee here I am actually at
the market and I'm actually going to
point out some mushrooms check it out
this is a whole group of different
mushrooms here and I want to actually
pick out some and talk about them so
first of all what do mushrooms have
though mushrooms actually have beta D
glucan ambidity glucans such as soluble
fiber that feeds your gut microbiome so
it improves gut health which means that
it actually improves your immunity and
it actually lowers inflammation the
other thing that it can actually do is
to help produce these short chain fatty
acids that help your lipids so you can
actually lower your cholesterol the bad
cholesterol and get better good
cholesterol
ability who can also and mushrooms
actually also up your metabolism and I
write about that in my new book Eat to
beat your diet which I hope you'll read
because it talks all about the clinical
studies with mushrooms so here are the
ones some of the ones that actually
stand out
Holy Spirit mushrooms
they actually are absolutely delicious
to eat packed with dietary fiber
um let's see oh look at these this is a
royal trumpet mushroom look how big this
guy is this and you'd want to kind of
slice up and saute so that it's almost
like a steak this is very meaty mushroom
uh let's see some hedgehog mushrooms
these are tiny guys they kind of look
like chanterelles also very delicious
and here are some real chanterelles one
of my favorite mushrooms chanterelle
mushrooms
chanterelles actually have a lot of baby
glucan
and let's see uh crimini also very good
Versace is used in lots of great recipes
and then something unusualize oh
shiitake shiitake actually has
a ton of beta-d glucan all right now
when you're cutting when you're cooking
with mushrooms you might actually get
the top and cut off the stem but I want
you to keep the stem the stem has twice
as much benadi glucan so you're going to
use mushrooms cook with the stems as
well you might make them separately but
cook with them all right now check this
out this is unusual cordyceps mushrooms
okay this is actually an herbal mushroom
very beautiful look at how delicate
these actually are cordyceps actually
medicinal mushroom actually has
different bioactives in it that actually
can activate your immune system as well
in your androgenesis circulatory
defenses all right that's it for now I
want to actually tell you to get my book
Eat to beat your diet it's got plenty of
stuff about the clinical studies of
mushrooms and many of the other things
that you find in the market
