How does nature nourish us? Look at mushrooms! Mushrooms are full of antioxidants which are important because they bind up free radicals that help prevent DNA damage. They help your immune system to fight infections. Chicken of the woods mushrooms not only taste like chickens, but for those of us that have insulin sensitivity, these mushrooms improve your body’s sensitivity to the insulin that your pancreas is already producing. This is similar to the effect of medicines like metformin for example. Chanterelles are fantastic for wound healing and they’ve been studied against colon cancer. I hope you’re feeling nourished!

Health Benefits of Chicken of the Woods 0:49
so i want to talk to you a minute about so i want to talk to you a minute about chicken of the woods it's not only chicken of the woods it's not only chicken of the woods it's not only fantastic to eat yes it tastes like fantastic to eat yes it tastes like fantastic to eat yes it tastes like chicken but it has lots of medicinal chicken but it has lots of medicinal chicken but it has lots of medicinal properties that i don't know that you're properties that i don't know that you're properties that i don't know that you're aware of it has an antioxidant which aware of it has an antioxidant which aware of it has an antioxidant which antioxidants are important because they antioxidants are important because they antioxidants are important because they bind up something called free radicals bind up something called free radicals bind up something called free radicals that helps with preventing dna damage so that helps with preventing dna damage so that helps with preventing dna damage so antioxidants generally help with your antioxidants generally help with your antioxidants generally help with your little mitochondria cells making more little mitochondria cells making more little mitochondria cells making more energy energy energy they they they they help your immune system to fight they help your immune system to fight they help your immune system to fight infections infections infections they help your dna to not become damaged they help your dna to not become damaged they help your dna to not become damaged and develop cancer and develop cancer and develop cancer the prime antioxidant that the chicken the prime antioxidant that the chicken the prime antioxidant that the chicken of the woods has is called alpha glucan of the woods has is called alpha glucan of the woods has is called alpha glucan it also has antibacterial properties it also has antibacterial properties it also has antibacterial properties against mrsa against mrsa against mrsa methicillin-resistant staph aureus which methicillin-resistant staph aureus which methicillin-resistant staph aureus which is often caught from hospitals surgeries is often caught from hospitals surgeries is often caught from hospitals surgeries nasty stuff causes boils and recurrent nasty stuff causes boils and recurrent nasty stuff causes boils and recurrent skin infections and so there's been some skin infections and so there's been some skin infections and so there's been some studies showing that a tincture and studies showing that a tincture and studies showing that a tincture and extract made with chicken of the woods extract made with chicken of the woods extract made with chicken of the woods has wonderful antibacterial properties has wonderful antibacterial properties has wonderful antibacterial properties against these gram-positive bacteria against these gram-positive bacteria against these gram-positive bacteria like mrsa the other thing that it does like mrsa the other thing that it does like mrsa the other thing that it does with cancer cells and specifically it's with cancer cells and specifically it's with cancer cells and specifically it's been studied against melanoma and colon been studied against melanoma and colon been studied against melanoma and colon cancer but it increases the cell death cancer but it increases the cell death cancer but it increases the cell death rate which is apoptosis is the death of rate which is apoptosis is the death of rate which is apoptosis is the death of cancer cells or any cells for that cancer cells or any cells for that cancer cells or any cells for that matter but you want cancer cells to die matter but you want cancer cells to die matter but you want cancer cells to die so it increases the rate at which cancer so it increases the rate at which cancer so it increases the rate at which cancer cells die which is fantastic and it also cells die which is fantastic and it also cells die which is fantastic and it also decreases the reproduction of cancer decreases the reproduction of cancer decreases the reproduction of cancer cells which is wonderful the other thing cells which is wonderful the other thing cells which is wonderful the other thing that it does for those of us that have that it does for those of us that have that it does for those of us that have insulin sensitivity pre-diabetes even insulin sensitivity pre-diabetes even insulin sensitivity pre-diabetes even diabetes is it improves your body's diabetes is it improves your body's diabetes is it improves your body's sensitivity to the insulin that your sensitivity to the insulin that your sensitivity to the insulin that your pancreas is already producing this is pancreas is already producing this is pancreas is already producing this is similar to the effect of medicines like similar to the effect of medicines like similar to the effect of medicines like metformin for example metformin for example metformin for example it's also anti-inflammatory so it's also anti-inflammatory so it's also anti-inflammatory so decreasing whole body inflammation i decreasing whole body inflammation i decreasing whole body inflammation i want to quickly talk to you about one want to quickly talk to you about one want to quickly talk to you about one other fantastic mushroom that we other fantastic
