Dr. Shen Yonghua
The functions and benefits of杏鲍菇 (Pleurotus eryngii, also known as King Oyster Mushroom) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen:杏鲍菇 has a delicious taste and can help improve appetite and strengthen the spleen, making it suitable for individuals experiencing loss of appetite.
2. Promote digestion:杏鲍菇 contains abundant oligosaccharides and dietary fiber, which help stimulate gastrointestinal motility, relieve constipation, and support digestion and nutrient absorption.
3. Lower blood lipids and blood pressure:杏鲍菇 is rich in crude fiber, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and other nutrients. These components aid in the digestion and absorption of fats and help dissolve cholesterol, thus contributing to lipid-lowering and blood pressure-lowering effects. It is particularly suitable for individuals with high cholesterol or hyperlipidemia.
4. Enhance immunity:杏鲍菇 is rich in protein, B-complex vitamins, and trace elements such as zinc. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and help strengthen the body's immunity, protecting against illness.
5. Improve skin quality:杏鲍菇 contains various amino acids and minerals that the body can absorb and utilize to synthesize collagen, resulting in smoother, more elastic skin and improved skin quality.
Any food should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may place a burden on the body.
