What if what we eat could make us smarter? In any case, this is the idea supported by numerous scientific research. Certain foods appear to be particularly beneficial for the brain. Among these, we find in particular mushrooms. As reported Voguea recent study shows that they act directly on cognitive functions to improve our memorization and learning abilities.
Eating mushrooms, the secret to being smarter?
And for good reason: mushrooms are full of bioactive compounds that promote proper brain functioning. A study published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience in 2023 has identified three major mechanisms by which these compounds boost our cognitive performance. First, they stimulate neurogenesis, that is to say the formation of new neurons. Then, they reduce oxidative stress, a key factor in brain aging. Finally, they modulate synaptic connections, essential for learning and memory. Considered as “natural fertilizers for the brain”to use the words of our colleagues, mushrooms allow you to strengthen your plasticity and your ability to adapt. Mushrooms rich in ergothioneine are among the most promising. This powerful antioxidant, which the human body cannot produce, plays a key role in neuronal protection. A study carried out by the University (…)
