Fertility Food: The Powerhouse Mushroom That Boosts Your Immune System
Asian mushrooms have been picked and eaten fresh, or dried and powdered for thousands of years for use in traditional Chinese medicine. Now a new study is adding to their mystique—and their street cred.
Eating one 4-oz. serving of dried, reconstituted shiitake mushrooms a day for four weeks can boost your immune system by measurably increasing killer T cells and antibody levels—both badass assassins for the immune system, the University of Florida reports.
Pick up dried shiitakes at a natural market and add them while cooking vegetable soup, or soak them for up to eight hours, rinse, and enjoy them with your favorite proteins and veggies.
