We can all benefit from eating foods that are good for us and when we enjoy the taste of these foods, that is all the better.
Everyone needs some choices once in a while, when it comes to snacks. By adding healthy foods such as Brazil Nuts, you do not have the guilt that accompanies some snacks.
(Natural News) Brazil nuts are the best way to add selenium to your diet. A recent study at the University of Otago in New Zealand found that eating just two Brazil nuts a day is as effective in increasing selenium status and enhancing glutathione peroxidase activity as a recommended dosage of selenomethionine. Inclusion of this high-selenium food in the diet could avoid the need for fortification or supplements to improve selenium levels.
