Mushrooms 1. 菇类 Why we love them: 我们为什么爱菇类： Mushrooms provide a burst of flavor without adding many calories. A number of varieties have antiviral, immunity-bosting and anti-inflammatory properities. Certain kinds, like shiitake, may lower cholesterol and fight cancer. They’re also rich in selenium. This antioxidant protects against heart disease, aging and some cancers and is often found in meat, making mushrooms a good pick for vegetarians. 菇类口感丰富还不会增加太多的卡路里。许多菇类品种甚至有抗病毒，增强免疫系统以及消炎的功效。某些品种比如香菇，就有降低胆固醇和抗癌的功效，它们还富含硒。这种抗氧化剂能有效防止心脏病、年龄老化以及某些癌症，对于素食主义者来说，菇类是个好选择。 |
