Cutting Edge Health: Preventing Cognitive Decline
Health & Fitness:Alternative Health
Mushrooms have long been thought to possess medicinal powers. Experts like Dr. Lisa Broyles suggest they even can nourish cognitive health. Many foraged mushrooms contain properties that can boost cognitive powers or curtail brain degeneration, according to Dr. Broyles, a family medicine specialist.
Lion’s mane, she says, helps the brain and neurons regenerate after they are damaged and slows the production of amyloid, a key protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Chaga and chicken in the woods improve the body’s handling of insulin — a recipe for keeping the brain healthy. Psilocybin, or “magic mushrooms,” improve memory and cognitive abilities, explains Dr. Broyles.
Mushrooms are eaten directly or turned into tinctures and consumed in beverages like tea. Many such therapeutic tinctures are sold commercially, she says.
