Functional Mushrooms for Fasting
Fasting has become a fad in recent years due to the spread of information over social media and other channels. Unfortunately, people take it to the extreme. There are legitimate benefits to the process of limiting food, but humans tend to go too far with unhealthy methods and notions of just drinking carrot juice for 3 days. Be aware, there are rational and irrational methods to fasting.
What Is Fasting?
It means to stop eating completely, or almost completely, for a certain stretch of time. A fast usually lasts from 12 to 24 hours, but some types continue for days at a time. In some cases, you may consume water, tea, nutrient liquid juices or even a small amount of food during the “fasting period.” There are several “types” of fasts. Some include smoothies, food or just water.

Medicinal Mushrooms and Fasting
The range of nutrients within medicinal mushrooms help many chemical receptor channels operate effectively within the cells. This makes medicinal mushrooms a good choice for people who fast. Mushrooms contain numerous vitamins and minerals that help keep the body balanced while the reduction of food is managed. We never support more than 24 hours without food, and you must drink lots of water.
Medicinal Mushroom Nutrients for Fasting
Mushrooms are rich in iron and can provide your daily iron requirement, keeping issues like anemia away while fasting. Polysaccharides act as a food for beneficial gut bacteria. (remember the gut controls the brain). Functional Mushrooms contain B vitamins, Phosphorus, Selenium, Copper, and Potassium. They also contain vital Beta Glucans as well as triterpenoids. For these reasons consider mushrooms while fasting
