Abstrakt: A recent study conducted by Purdue University explored the potential benefits of consuming mushrooms on brain health. The researchers found that mushrooms contain bioactive compounds and antioxidants that can impact neurological processes. The study involved 60 adults who followed a Mediterranean-style diet with or without mushrooms for 8 weeks. The results showed that adopting this diet, with or without mushrooms, improved vigor/activity and immediate memory in middle-aged and older adults. However, the effects on other aspects of brain health were mixed. This research suggests that incorporating mushrooms into a healthy diet may have positive effects on certain cognitive functions.
