FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOMS: MORE THAN JUST FUEL...

Menopause women working out

If adaptogens have been on your radar, you might have come to know about functional mushrooms. Lion’s mane is treasured as a culinary delicacy in many parts of Asia, and has attracted further attention for its role as a functional food to promote health and is used around the world by athletes.

Did you know, mushrooms can do more than fuel your workout?

They can aid in your exercise recovery.

Consider Lion's Mane, or Hericium erinaceus.  This shaggy fungus that grow in clumps or pom poms has been found to support neurological systems.  It improves concentration, focus and overall cognitive functions.  These are attributes everyone can benefit from.

For example in the case of weight lifting or boxing, it can support the synaptic firing capacity - think explosive movements when working out.  It supports all nerve function at a greater efficiency and assists in fatigue reduction, inflammation reduction, improved gut health, and immune health.  Anecdotal evidence point to Lion's Mane having an affinity for areas that need the most support such as muscles under extreme stress. That's one of the reasons it can be helpful during your exercise recovery phase.

If you work out regularly or thinking about starting an exercise regime, consider adding Lion's Mane Mushrooms to the mix, create a pre or post workout smoothie with matcha or even in your morning coffee.

So, how do you get the health benefits of Lion's Mane?
