(02/28/2022, The Washington Post)
Expert quote:
“Mushrooms are wonderful sources of the minerals potassium and selenium. Potassium can help lower high blood pressure, while selenium is an antioxidant that protects your cells from free radicals. If free radicals accumulate faster than your body can neutralize them, their damaging effects can contribute to chronic diseases such as heart disease and age-related macular degeneration.” – Clinical Professor of Nutrition Joan Salge Blake
