3 reasons to eat mushrooms

Mushrooms are not everyone's favorite. If you do like them, these are three reasons to eat them a lot.

1. Mushrooms help with weight loss

Since mushrooms are low in calories and free of salts and fats, they are an ideal ingredient if you are trying to lose weight. The large amounts of protein and fiber make you feel full.

2. Mushrooms give color to your body

100 grams of fried mushrooms contains no less than 30 percent of the recommended daily amount of copper (0.9 mg). Copper is a mineral that literally gives color to your body; it plays a huge role in the formation of pigment for your hair and skin. With a deficiency of copper, your hair and skin can become lighter.

3. Mushrooms are healthy vitamin bombs

Mushrooms are full of vitamin B:100 grams of raw mushrooms is good for a quarter of the recommended daily amount. Vitamin B2 is important for healthy skin and metabolism. In addition, vitamin B3 helps to get energy from your diet.
