Daily VitaMush is the flagship blend created by Organic Mushrooms by combining the goodness of five revered mushrooms: Lion’s Mane, Reishi, Shiitake, Cordyceps and Turkey Tail. Each of the five mushrooms is known across the world for a multitude of benefits resulting in enhanced health and wellness with the potential to fight and protect the human body against deadly diseases. Let us look at the benefits of each of the mushroom types.

Lion’s Mane is popularly referred to as the “Brain Mushroom,” as it is believed to enhance focus, memory and cognition while reducing anxiety. Like other medicinal mushrooms, Lion’s Mane is a reliable source of antioxidants that boost the immune system. Moreover, the Lion’s Mane is known to stimulate the production of nerve growth factor (NGF) and myelin, which are crucial for maintaining good brain health.

Cordyceps (Ophiocordyceps sinensis) is a powerful medicinal mushroom that has been shown to have numerous beneficial effects on the health and wellness of the human body. Studies suggest that different strains of Cordyceps can help boost the immune system, have anti-tumour effects, increase energy levels, and have anti-metastatic and antioxidant properties and anti-inflammatory effects.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) has been referred to in the old transcripts as the mushroom of immortality. Traditional medicine practitioners have believed Reishi to promote health, balance body functions and increase life expectancy without any side effects. Reishi can help calm your mind, boost energy and encourage a good night’s sleep.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a medicinal mushroom that has long been used in traditional medicine to improve heart health. Shiitake mushrooms have proven to lower LDL cholesterol while maintaining healthy blood pressure and circulation.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus), commonly referred to as the “King of Mushrooms,” is an extremely nourishing wild mushroom that has been utilized in traditional medicine to address an array of ailments such as indigestion, bad cholesterol, low immunity and muscle fatigue. Chaga supplies the body with a significant quantity of antioxidants, SOD enzymes, vital amino acids, minerals and other essential compounds. Chaga has been found to have the potential to prolong cellular proliferation and extend lifespan, which in other words means that it may be effective in fighting against the ageing process.

Turkey Tail is a type of polypore mushroom that is highly regarded for its antioxidant properties, which have been found to have anticancer effects, like many other medicinal mushrooms. Turkey Tail contains polysaccharide-K (PSK), which can stimulate the immune system and help fight leukaemia cells, thus improving the survival rates of individuals with certain cancers. Additionally, it is believed to enhance the immune system of those undergoing chemotherapy.

New Years is the time to make firm health resolutions that often falter within a week, a fortnight, or a month. There is considerable pressure during January as individuals take a hiatus from excessive food and alcohol consumption, scrutinizing their bodies with a critical, microscopic lens. These changes are effective only as long as you do not succumb to boredom or succumb to unhealthy cravings. Have you ever contemplated the factors that hinder our ability to adhere to a healthy lifestyle?

To begin with, we tend to unnecessarily complicate and overcompensate for our long-standing unhealthy habits. Just as Rome wasn’t built in a day, it’s the small, consistent habits that shape our bodies over time. There exists a catalog of timeless, good habits that are well-known but often neglected. At Organic Mushrooms, we are genuinely concerned about your health and well-being. Therefore, we have curated a list of fundamental healthy habits that you should incorporate into your daily routine to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Eat a good breakfast – Let breakfast be the biggest meal of your day and there is nothing better than starting your day with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Eggs, milk, juices, whole wheat bread, yoghurts and whole grain cereals are excellent choices to be incorporated into your breakfast.

Add fruits to your diet – Fruits account for a great deal of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibre in your nutrition intake. These essential vitamins and minerals help fill major nutritional gaps in your body and help in maintaining a healthy body. Start by incorporating whole fruits into your diet each day.

Move your body – Start exercising and start small. If going to the gym is an issue start small at home. Start with a little bit of stretching and short walks. Just keep on increasing a little every day. Exercise also helps boost your metabolism and build your appetite.

Make water your best friend – The human body is 70% water, whether you like it or not, water is the most important component of your body. Keeping yourself hydrated is the best daily ritual that you cannot avoid. Make daily goals starting from drinking one litre of water per day to reaching five litres of water per day.

Rest well – Eating healthy meals on time and exercising can help your body form healthy patterns. A sound sleep cycle is important and is a combination of various things done right during the day.

Avoid binge eating – All major meals should be broken into smaller portions and one should maintain a healthy gap of at least four hours between meals. If you must snack, fix yourself healthy snacks for yourself to sustain your energy levels between meals. Dried nuts come in handy for healthy snacking.

Avoid alcohol and smoking – Strictly say no to drugs as they go against anything healthy and lead to serious complications and even death. Excessive alcohol intake and smoking can lead to various complications in the body as well. While both alcohol and smoking can critically damage body parts and lead to deadly diseases, their regular intake also leads to poor gut and digestion, unhealthy lungs, heart issues, loss of appetite, lethargy, poor focus and much more.

Start reading food labels – Processed foods such as fried chips, some breads and packed stuff are generally not good for health due to their high content of saturated fat, salt and sugar leading to negative health effects. Make a habit of reading food labels that tell you about the actual nutrition facts of the food item and can help you decide if you really want those harmful fats inside your body.

Incorporate more greens in your diet – Plant-based diets are a lot healthier in comparison to red meat. Experiment with different cuisines and try out different plant-based meals to find out your preferred taste. Try to incorporate green vegetables, beans and lentils into your meals every day.

Choose your supplements with caution – A supplement is ideally supposed to fulfil the need gap in your body that is missing from your diet. In terms of health supplements, be very careful of the claims and rely on natural supplements in place of chemicals which could have serious side effects. Good natural health supplements can help fill the nutritional gap in your body such as some essential vitamins and minerals. It is always a good idea to consult your general physician before incorporating any health supplements as a part of your diet plan.

Transitioning from an unhealthy to a healthy lifestyle demands effort, time, and patience. However, the rewards are immensely promising. Incorporate these small changes into your daily routine and pave the way for a healthier and more contented life.

Trametes versicolor or Turkey Tail Mushroom is a fungus in the shape of semi-circular caps that typically grows on decomposing trees of oak, white birch, and maple trees, sometimes even conifers in forests across Asia, North America, and Europe. The Turkey tail caps are thin yet tough and display velvety concentric rings in multiple colours varying between yellow, grey, purple, green, brown, or black. The mushroom finds its name from the colours which resemble turkey feathers. Although classified as an edible mushroom, Turkey Tail has an extremely bitter taste and a chewy texture.

Native to the forests of Asia and very commonly found in North America, Turkey Tail’s history can be traced back to the 15^th century when it was mentioned in the ancient Chinese medicinal texts. The name Turkey Tail originated in the USA and the functional mushroom is now being cultivated for medicinal uses. In Japan, Turkey tail extracts are being used towards an additional therapy for cancer treatment to improve outcomes. These extracts are frequently used alongside chemotherapy or radiation therapy to improve treatment outcomes. Thirteen clinical trials have shown that cancer patients who received Turkey Tail in addition to standard treatments had longer life expectancies compared to those who only received chemotherapy. Turkey Tail has been found to improve the life expectancy of cancer patients in combination with standard treatments, particularly for breast, gastric and colorectal cancer.

Researchers are further exploring the wide benefits of Turkey Tail and how it can help balance blood sugar levels, boost athletic performance, and fight viral and bacterial infections while reducing fatigue. Turkey Tail is enriched with a wide range of primary and secondary bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, and flavonoid antioxidants which help control inflammation and support the immune system. The rich concentration of immunomodulators such as Krestin (PSK) and Polysaccharide Peptide (PSP) help stimulate and balance the immune system and help the body fight infection, cancer, and other diseases. PSPs stimulate immune cell production to help fight and protect against infection while PSK helps support the body’s immunity by activating the good cells to fight off infection and disease.

Turkey Tail mushrooms offer the highest beta-glucan content among all functional mushrooms as they are also amongst the best known and most researched for their multitude of health benefits. Some of the benefits found in Turkey Tail mushrooms include:

• Fights and prevents cancer.
• Slows cancer growth.
• Antioxidant booster
• Improves skin health.
• Promotes anti-ageing.
• Aids digestion.
• Lessens inflammation.
• Enhances brain function.
