Shiitake Mushroom Benefits
5. Healthy Digestive System
The importance of a healthy digestive system, and its contribution to the immune system, is so often overlooked. A healthy population of gut bacteria will help to fight off disease and a healthy digestive system will also help ensure we get maximum nutrition from our food.
One of the best ways to ensure a healthy digestive system is to eat the right types of food. Shiitake mushrooms are a very good source of fiber, which is well known for its ability to help keep the digestive system healthy. For every 100 grams of the mushrooms that you eat, you will get approximately 10% of your recommended daily fiber intake.
