The mineral Selenium has been shown to induce DNA repair and synthesis in damaged cells, to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, and to induce the self-destruct sequence the body uses to eliminate worn out or abnormal cells (apoptosis). Grown or raised under ideal soil conditions, Brazil nuts are the most highly concentrated source of selenium. Enjoy just one Brazil nut each day and ensure your selenium levels remain OK. Other sources are sunflower seeds, oats, barley, shiitake mushrooms, chicken eggs, tuna and snapper. |
