NUTRITIONAL VALUE of MUSHROOMSNUTRITIONAL VALUE of MUSHROOMS is about some very special minerals and vitamins found in one of my favourite foods. The mushroom is not only delicious but very nutritious. What's more it adds appeal to almost any dish. They are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and fibre.
A meat substituteBecause mushrooms are zero in cholesterol and a helping of mushrooms contains only about 20 calories, only a few grams of carbohydrate and is virtually fat free, it makes an ideal meat substitute in your cooking. Whether you are making a lasagne or a just a cook-up, mushrooms are a very nutritious and tasty alternative to mince or a steak.If you are wanting to lose weight, mushrooms are an excellent way to go about it. They are low in carbohydrate. Why is that important? Because it's the best way to lose weight and there is a growing body of scientific opinion that a high carbohydate (and probably 'simple' carbs) coupled with a low fat diet is one of the causes of the very serious neurological diseases like Motor Neuron Disease. Be warned, this is no easy page you are going to. Only if you are interested, and have some time on your hands.

ANTI-OXIDANTS and Prostate CancerResearch has proved that there is a "marked, statistically-significant reduction in the rate of prostate cancer for healthy men - those with a with normal PSA (blood test for prostate cancer) - receiving anti-oxidant supplements."ANTI-OXIDANTSMUSHROOMS, SELENIUM and PROSTATE CANCERSo, the nutritional value of mushrooms is that they are rich in Selenium, a quite difficult mineral to get in adequate amounts from the average diet, and is certainly very low in any junk food diet. Worryingly, a Baltimore study of aging men found that men with low selenium levels were 5x more likely to get prostate cancer. It's the most common serious cancer in men.Now, one helping of mushrooms will give you about 30% of your daily requirement of selenium. It's even more true as we get older. One other finding in the Baltimore study is that older men seem for unknown reasons to have lower blood levels of Selenium. We are not sure why, but it's certainly makes sense for older men to regularly have a good helping of mushrooms. They're delicious anyway, so that should be no sweat! Why every man should be having pumpkin seeds in their muesli and enjoying tomatoes regularly. Mushrooms are also a good source of another anti-oxident mineral, zinc.
TOMATO PROSTATE ... Other Vitamins: B complexThe nutritional value of Mushrooms is also that they are particularly rich in three vitamins from the B-complex that you can't survive without. We have to eat foods rich in them daily for healthy nerves, amongst many other things.They are B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin) and B5 (Pantothenic acid). Leg crampsSome blood pressure tablets leach the body of potassium, causing terrible cramps in the legs. Mushrooms are particularly rich in potassium, higher even than a banana.FibreMushrooms are also rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre, both of which are strongly associated in their own right with lower rates of bowel cancer, and a happy colon. An important part of the nutritional value of mushrooms.Constipated? You are at serious risk of a heap of bowel diseases including cancer of the colon and rectum.
