Mushrooms are full of antioxidants that may have anti-aging potential

Folks, mushrooms are really good for us. For some more beneficial forms (maitake and shiitake), you may need to frequent Asian supermarkets, but I’ve been told Costco has decent-sized bags of shiitake cooked like potato chips for under $5.

Brown mushrooms tend to have more of these compounds (up to 20X more)

Ping of interest.

As long as you don’t get the kind that put you on the liver transplant list.

If you have not seen it, watch the Joe Rogan show when he had Paul Stamets on as a guest.

Just take Metformin like I do.

Eat the wrong mushroom- and it really will have an ‘anti-aging’ effect-

You can also grow your own... I used to until the Chinese market near me started selling all kinds for dirt cheap.

You can buy wooden dowels that have been inoculated with mycelium for 'Oyster Mushrooms'.

Then you go out to your North 40, drill a few holes, bang them in, cover them with paraffin and wait. For the next 6 years or so you'll get delicious mushrooms after every rain!

You can get them on eBay.

not poo pooing the articles you linked to- but i noticed that it’s not just taking the metforming that might add life age- but the articles states “AND lifestyle changes”- so how do we know it isn’t simply the lifestyle changes that added years to the people’s lives? Lifestyle changes can and does have dramatic changes to people’s health all by itself-

Are there studies that show metformin alone- without lifestyle changes, can increase life expectancy?

Don’t eat the mushrooms!

"Are there studies that show metformin alone- without lifestyle changes, can increase life expectancy?"

I can't answer you questions, I'm a retired chip-maker.

There are studies that say, on average, people who do not have type two diabetes live eight years longer than people who do have type two diabetes.
Now, it has been recorded and data mined that people who have type two diabetes and take Metformin live longer than people who do not have type two diabetes.

Numerous large studies have begun to answer many questions.

I take Metformin twice a day.

Ummm...beef tournedos smothered in mushroom marsala sauce...

I take tinctures of Cordyceps and Lions mane daily.

[gundog]

Amen. Some will stop you aging, pronto.

[gundog]

Because you should be here....

[gundog]

Walking around looking for them can be a real workout.

[Jane Long]

[gundog]

Wow. Those are pretty cheap.
