Hey everybody Dr. Gundry here with the three healthiest vegetables you should eat.

You know vegetables are by far some of the most important foods for health and longevity.

But by now they know all vegetables are not created equal.

So today I'm going to share three of my favorites with you and I encourage you to eat them as often as you like.

Number one the humble mushroom.

First of all mushrooms are increasingly easy to find different mushrooms or appearing in our grocery stores.

Why? Because mushrooms have incredible properties that you should know about to improve your health, your brain health and your longevity.

First of all mushrooms contain many polysaccharides that means multiple sugars.

Now the word sugar shouldn't throw you off.

Polysaccharides are sugar molecules that are bonded together with tight chemical bonds that our digestive system does not have good digestive enzymes to break apart to absorb its sugar.

But good news is our gut buddies the gut microbiome have the enzymes to break these sugar molecules apart and they eat them.

So these are actually prebiotic fibers in mushrooms that the gut bacteria eat and they in turn make postbiotics.

And you've heard me talk about postbiotics before postbiotics are actually what helps your gut wall, helps your immune system, helps your blood vessels and helps your brain all by giving prebiotics like our contained in mushrooms to your good gut bacteria.

As you learned about in my new book unlocking the keto code mushrooms are rich in melatonin.

Now melatonin is not the sleep hormone. Melatonin is actually only one of two antioxidants in your mitochondria.

And as you know the mitochondria are the key to your short and long term health and energy.

So give them some mushrooms to work with get the melatonin from the mushrooms and know eating mushrooms are not going to put you asleep.

Sorry about that. Try some of the newer ones for maximum impact.
