The mighty heart is but a fist-sized pump that moves blood throughout your body. Made of multiple layers of tissues, the heart is the centre of the blood circulation in your body pushing blood rich with oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body through arteries, capillaries and then veins. The heart is fundamental to sustaining life and promoting health as a strong body can only belong to a strong heart.

According to World Heart Federation (WHF), there has been a 60% increase in deaths due to cardiovascular diseases globally in the past 30 years; moving up from 12.1 million in 1990 to 20.5 million in 2021. More than four out of five cardiovascular deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes and one-third of these deaths occur prematurely in people under 70 years of age. Modern lifestyles with several behavioral risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking and excessive intake of alcohol have caused heart diseases and strokes. It starts with showing effects in individuals such as raised blood pressure, raised blood glucose, raised blood lipids and being overweight and obese. In Canada, heart disease is the second leading cause of death.

A weak heart shows several symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, faintness, loss of appetite, irregular need to urinate at night, shortness of breath, swollen liver or abdomen, swollen feet and ankles among others. An unhealthy heart can be identified by an irregular pulse or a sensation of feeling the heartbeat. It will take an entire change in lifestyle to be able to improve heart health and diet and physical activity play an important role in the recovery of heart health. Studies have revealed that some medicinal mushrooms can help in lowering bad cholesterol, regulating blood pressure and improving the overall health of the heart.

At Organic Mushrooms, we have combined the goodness of medicinal mushrooms such as Shiitake, Reishi and Cordyceps to help improve your heart health. Shiitake mushrooms contain eritadenine, a compound known to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood and maintain healthy circulation. Often regarded as the “Heart Mushroom”, Shiitake mushrooms are not only delicious but also rich in nutrients like beta-glucans that can help lower cholesterol levels. They support heart health by promoting balanced blood lipid profiles and reducing the risk of plaque buildup in arteries. Reishi Mushrooms on the other hand are rich in beta-glucans and triterpenoids, which can lower blood sugar and blood pressure levels, reducing your diabetes and heart disease risk. Known as the “Longevity Mushroom”, reishi is celebrated for its adaptogenic properties, helping to reduce stress and inflammation. It supports heart health by regulating blood pressure and promoting overall cardiovascular wellness. Cordyceps mushrooms can further help in reducing any inflammations and promote a healthy blood flow of the heart and brain. These mushrooms offer a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds which regulate blood circulation and improve heart health. Cordyceps are a powerhouse of energy and endurance and are a favourite among athletes and those looking to optimize their cardiovascular fitness.

After carefully considering the benefits of these mushroom types, we have custom-made a special Heart Health Wellness Bundle to help improve heart health. The benefits of mushrooms such as Shiitake, Cordyceps and Reishi can help supplement your heart health and help enhance your physical and mental health and wellness.

Long before human life existed on this planet, fungi thrived as the sole ancestral group of microorganisms. It later split into plants and animals, of which we have evolved as human beings. As the first form of complex life on this planet, fungi mined rocks for minerals slowly converting them into soil. It has changed our planet over the last few million years creating the modern world.

For millions of years, fungi have built on the experience of doing one thing they know best, fighting their way to survive and supporting life as we know it. Fungi is nature’s best survivor which has existed out of nothing, being the most resourceful and successful life form ever known to mankind.

Civilizations before us have realized the potential and used fungi in various forms. There are pieces of evidence of functional fungi/mushrooms being considered spiritual by our forefathers thousands of years ago. In the early gatherings of humans, there have been revelations about bread and fermented drinks made with fungi. The same is expected to have been used to treat and drink the water contaminated with harmful bacteria, making it safe to drink and eventually saving generations from perishing. So far, modern science has identified some of the medicinal properties of fungi/ mushrooms that help enhance your immune system and support the fight against diseases such as cancer and various other issues such as inflammation, indigestion, improper sleep and so on. Medicinal fungi or mushrooms are known to be antiviral and antibacterial. What is now called medicinal mushrooms can be generally defined as fungi that can be used for fighting and healing from multiple diseases or supporting the body’s need for essential nutrition as health supplements.

In recent history, we have seen multiple references to such fungi being used as a part of medicine, especially in parts of Asia. Countries like Japan and China have approved the use of medicinal mushrooms as an addition to standard cancer treatments. There are references to some medicinal mushrooms as the elixir of immortality. Revered mushrooms such as Lions Mane have been known to boost cognitive properties. Monks used to consume tea with Reishi mushroom extracts for its potent anti-ageing properties. For long mushrooms such as Reishi and others have been considered a sign of luck, healing and wellness in Chinese culture.

Scientists estimate that there are over five million species of fungi on this planet, yet only one percent of that has been discovered so far. Almost a hundred years ago, Alexander Fleming discovered the properties of a fungus called Penicillium – which was used to create the drug penicillin. That led to a dawn of antibiotics which has saved millions of lives from epidemics across the world. Scientists believe that we haven’t even scratched the surface when it comes to the vast benefits of this natural medicine used over centuries, which we casually call fungi or refer to as functional or medicinal mushrooms.

Your gut is the source of energy for your body. Whatever food you consume is broken down into nutrients and released throughout the body to support its functions. Consider your gut as the second brain, only that gut provides the energy to the body so that your brain can function properly. If your gut is unhealthy, it leads to not only physical but also mental imbalances in your body. An unhealthy gut could lead to low immunity, thyroid, arthritis, digestive issues, poor skin and hair, sleep issues, fatigue, weight issues and much more. It could also lead to mood disorders such as depression or anxiety. Unhealthy lifestyle choices including lack of a balanced diet, lack of pre-biotics, smoking, alcohol, medication side effects, low physical activity, irregular sleep, stress etc. are some of the causes leading to poor gut health.

Your digestive system consists of the gastrointestinal tract or the GI tract which pushes the food through and breaks the same into essential nutrients and energy critical for the body to function. The good bacteria in the gut, also known as the gut microbiome, help in the digestion process. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in your overall health by breaking down food into energy and strengthening your immunity and other aspects of your health. It is the imbalance of the healthy and unhealthy microbes in the GI that causes physical and mental health issues.

The good part is gut health can be improved by making some lifestyle changes. Some of the ways to improve overall gut health include limiting your alcohol consumption and smoking, eating fibre-rich balanced diets, regular exercise, proper stress management etc. You should consult your doctor on what works best for you as per your routine and body type. A lot of people suffering from poor gut health have added a probiotic supplement into their routine.

Natural mushrooms are adaptogens that offer hi-profile carbohydrates and fibre acting as prebiotics to stimulate the growth of the gut microbiome. Researchers believe that these adaptogens increase the body’s resistance to physical, biological, and chemical stress and protect against stress-related damage. A combination of four mushroom types has been known to positively impact and improve gut health including Reishi, Turkey Tail, Chaga and Lion’s Mane. Reishi mushroom offers a calming effect as it alleviates digestive troubles linked to excess stress and stomach acid secretion. Another medicinal mushroom Turkey Tail contains prebiotics which may help support the digestive process. Chaga mushroom on the other hand is packed with antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
