Now I know it would be easy to end up taking every supplement under the sun – but something I really recommend for everyone – men and women – is to eat 2 brazil nuts a day. This will top you up in selenium which is a nutrient which is absent or very low in New Zealand soils so doesn’t get into our food. Brazil nuts are the richest dietary source of selenium.
Don’t think that this is a case of more the better. You don’t want to overdose on selenium so 2 nuts a day is ample. Brazil nuts are very high in fat.
Other sources of selenium include fish and almonds.
What is the effect of not having enough selenium?? There is research that suggests selenium intake correlates with lower rates of breast and prostate cancer.
