mushrooms may ease depression Mushrooms have been shown to help reduce the risk of cancer. New research from the Penn State College of Medicine determined that they may also boost a person’s mental health.
Researchers looked at diet and mental-health data from more than 24,000 US adults over a 10-year period. They determined that antioxidants in mushrooms helped lower the rate of depression in those who ate them. SOURCE “Mushroom consumption may lower risk of depression,” Penn State, 10/12/21
choose rye for weight loss People who ate high-fiber products made from whole-grain rye lost more weight and body fat than participants who ate similar products made from refined wheat. Calorie intake was about the same in both groups over the 12week study. Those in the wheat group also lost weight, but not as much as those who ate rye.
