Living Well with Bri

Lions Mane

Happy Thursday friends!

I wanted to share this passage I found because it’s a good reminder to live the life you want to live. As said above, we are all living on borrowed time, so don’t let people’s judgments stop you from chasing your dreams.

Lion's Mane is a medicinal mushroom used in traditional Chinese medicine. It has been used for centuries and is valued for its potential health benefits. Lion's Mane contains various bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides and beta-glucans, which are believed to contribute to its therapeutic properties.

Here is a list of reasons people supplement with Lion’s Mane

  1. Protection Against Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease: Lion's Mane improves cognitive function and memory because it contains compounds like hericystins and erinacines that promote nerve growth and protect neurons

  2. Ease Symptoms of Anxiety and Depression: Lions Mane offers a natural relief for anxiety and depression symptoms

  3. Recovery from Nervous System Injuries: Lions Mane promotes nerve cell growth and repair. This can potentially aid in recovery from nervous system injuries

  4. Improved Heart Health: Supplementing with Lions Mane can reduce the risk of heart disease factors, including inflammation and cholesterol

  5. Potential Anti-Cancer Properties: Implementing Lions Mane into your daily routine causes cancer cells to die faster

  6. Reduction of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress: Lions Mane contains powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant chemicals
