Singapore study has shown that consuming 2 portions of mushrooms weekly may lower the risk of cognitive decline.
.
A Community-Based Cross-Sectional Study in Singapore examined the association between mushroom intake and mild cognitive impairment using data from 663 participants aged 60 and above.
.
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a stage between the cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia.
.
Seniors may display:
✔️memory loss
✔️forgetfulness
✔️deficit in other cognitive functions like language, attention
.
During the study researchers conducted extensive interviews and test with seniors to determine an accurate diagnosis.
.
In the study researchers referenced to those types of mushrooms:
🍄golden
🍄oyster
🍄shiitake
🍄white button
🍄dried and canned mushrooms
.
Participants who consumed mushrooms >2 portions per week had reduced odds of having MCI.
.
1 portion=approximately 150g
