Ideal for weight loss: a nutritionist spoke about the benefits of champignons

Dietitian Elena Tikhomirova: champignons improve the condition of the intestinal microflora.

Dietitian Tikhomirova spoke about the benefits of champignons in an interview on the topic of the most useful products for the intestines . The doctor explained that they are rich in mushroom fiber, which is practically not absorbed by the digestive tract – in the large intestine it acts like a sponge that absorbs everything bad and harmful.

“When mushroom fiber goes through the large intestine, it absorbs a large amount of harmful substances , and then everything is brought out,” shared Elena Tikhomirova.
The nutritionist added that the use of champignons is also useful in that it improves intestinal motility. In addition, their fiber serves as a source of nutrition for “good” intestinal bacteria (in particular, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli). Thanks to this, the general condition of the intestinal microflora improves, which, in turn, is closely related to the active functioning of the immune system, effective protection of the body from infections, prevention of depression and brain diseases.

If there are no individual restrictions, champignons will be very useful for people trying to lose weight.
