Mind over Matter: Can Mushrooms Boost Your Brain? Ep. 1174 FEB 2024

The Relationship between Mushroom Intake and Cognitive Performance: An Epidemiological Study in the European Investigation of Cancer—Norfolk Cohort (EPIC-Norfolk)

A huge study in the UK followed thousands of people for years, uncovering a delicious secret: eating just one mushroom portion a week (think a small handful) was linked to sharper memory, faster thinking, and better mental control. This brain boost held strong even when considering other healthy habits, hinting that mushrooms might be a hidden weapon against mind fog and even low mood. While more research is needed, reach for those earthy fungi - your brain might just thank you!
