Inonotus obliquus mushroomMOSCOW, 22 Jan. The chaga mushroom found in Russian forests, despite its unattractive appearance, is extremely beneficial to health. This is written by nutritionist Joan Washburn in an article for the Food News portal. According to her, this mushroom, similar to burnt coal, can also be found in Northern Canada, Korea and Alaska. However, it was in Russia that they first learned about its beneficial properties and began to make tea from it. As the expert clarifies, the mushroom is found on average on one of four thousand birches, and it is impossible to grow it at home. Because of its usefulness and rarity, it is called «black gold,» she emphasized. Chaga contains vitamin D necessary for the body, as well as potassium, calcium, iron and zinc. In addition, drinking this tea helps improve digestion, as it regulates the production of bile that breaks down food. The polyphenols present in chaga protect cells from oxidative stress, thereby preventing premature aging. The mushroom helps lower blood sugar and cholesterol levels, improves overall immunity. The presence of triterpenes in chaga helps in the prevention of cancer and even in the fight against it: according to studies, they destroy cancer cells without damaging healthy ones. =»/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/dbcda20796a443d00ad6b567fa3c9376.jpg» />A nutritionist recommended the perfect product to normalize blood pressure
