Studies are starting to show that mushrooms can help cognitive memory problems. The study was done on older people but, because of fibro, we have cognitive memory problems aka fibro fog. I do eat mushrooms and my memory is quite good for my age so I do think there is something to this. So I wanted to share this link that tells all about the study.

By the way, it only takes two 3/4 cup servings a week to get a 50% improvement in the cognitive memory. I eat one package of slices mushrooms a week. In another article about this, it said canned mushrooms work too.

Wow, that's interesting. I don't care for them at all, blah! I read that a little bit of cinnamon (1/2 - 1 tsp a day) is also good for the memory.

You can hide mushrooms in Soup and casseroles and you wouldn’t even know they were there. Chop them up fine. I even put mushrooms in my chili!

I have always heard that cinnamon is good for pain. I didn’t know it helps memory too. I drink Cinnamon Stick tea by Bigelow every morning! Thanks for sharing.

We like mushrooms & eat them too. I am thinking after reading this article, I may need to increase the husband's amount some, lol. I like to put them on the grill in tin foil with butter & garlic when making burgers or a steak. I use them in spaghetti too. Now I am getting hungry!

I love mushrooms and, like Susie, put them in spaghetti, I also make mushroom soup occasionally and sometimes mix them with broccoli and carrots and sauté in olive oil or steam them.

Good news! Anything to help fibro in any way.

I'm getting hungry too. smile

I dislike ordinary button mushrooms because they seem slippery and chewy, but the meaty types and some wild mushrooms are great.
It's mushroom season - morels - 3 types - right now in PA. At the end of July we'll find chanterelles which are great fried or dried, and taste like chicken.
Try some different types. There is a lot of difference in textures and flavors.
