No more watching over your sauté pan—this delicious, flavor-building, oil-free mushroom cooking technique will make enjoying the culinary and health benefits of shrooms easier than ever. Meaty shiitake, baby bella, oyster, or button mushrooms will fill your home with umami aroma while you prepare protective plant-based pizza, pasta, or rice bowls to adorn with these flavorful fungi. This innovative method will make partaking of the medicinal benefits, which have been attributed to mushrooms for thousands of years, practically effortless. Mushrooms have recently gained pharmaceutical interest because they contain large amounts of beta-glucans. These substances stimulate the microbiome (our immune system) and have beneficial effects in fighting infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic). Beta-glucans are found in several ingredients we enjoy on a Protective Diet, such as mushrooms, nutritional yeast, and oats. They were featured in PD-Ed Lesson, #206 to help reduce seasonal allergies, in addition to being antimutagenic and antitumorigenic. These simple foods have also been shown to reduce blood cholesterol and body fat with improved fat metabolism. All of these powerful benefits have made these foods promising candidates as pharmacological health promoters. Studies of food ingredients are funded when there is potential to treat disease or make treatments of disease more tolerable. There is interest in the potential usefulness of beta-glucan as a radioprotective drug for chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and nuclear emergencies. Particularly because glucan can be used not only as a treatment but also as a prophylactic. This left me thinking about how effective these protective plant chemicals must be at protecting us from UV rays while we naturally synthesize vitimin D because they are found to be nuclear and radio protective. Let’s get ahead of the curve and take advantage of life-expanding, delicious, protective, whole food ingredients today. No emergency diagnosis, prescription, or co-payments are necessary. Let’s make eating protectively a priority for prevention and wellness every day of our lives.
