Sautéed Mushrooms with Garlic and Sweet Red Wine!

Did you know mushrooms are low in calories, nutritious, anti-inflammatory, and help support immune health? And also one of the only non-animal sources of vitamin D?

White mushrooms are high in protein and low in calories, and contain many bioactive compounds that may provide several health benefits. These benefits include:

• Cancer-fighting properties: A review of 17 cancer studies found that eating 18 grams of mushrooms per day may lower your risk of cancer by up to 45%.

• Cholesterol-lowering effects: Mushrooms can be a substitute for red meat while minimizing calories, fat, and cholesterol.

• Improved gut health: Mushrooms may help improve digestive health.

• Lower sodium intake: A cup of white button mushrooms has only five milligrams of sodium.

• Source of B vitamins: A 100-gram serving of white button mushrooms offers almost a quarter of our daily riboflavin needs, 23% of our daily niacin requirement and 30% of our daily pantothenic acid requirement.

• High in potassium: A 5 cap serving of white mushrooms contains 300 mg of potassium, which helps your body maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. This may help lower high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

• Source of vitamin D: Mushrooms may contribute to blood pressure control due to their vitamin D content

  
  

While white mushrooms offer numerous benefits, a balanced diet is key. Incorporating them into your meals as part of a healthy lifestyle can contribute to overall health. Here is a quick and easy recipe using white mushrooms with minced garlic and sweet red wine.
