Want to minimize your risk of cancer? Start eating more mushrooms! Many Asian species are packed with health benefits, and contain unique polysaccharides which appear to boost both the activity and number of the body’s natural-killer cells.
Enoki, maitake, reishi, royal sun agaricus, shiitake, and zhu ling have all have been studied for their anticancer and immune-boosting properties. Look for them in local and specialty grocery stores.
