Many of the foods we eat deplete selenium, but just two Brazil nuts per day provide 1000% of the RDA. That’s around 135 to 180 mcg of selenium. Selenium is a trace mineral that works in conjunction with enzymes to support hair growth. It increases the protein in hair called keratin. However, that’s not all. Selenium also offers significant immune system benefits! Selenium is vital for fertility and protects the cells in the testicles that produce testosterone and sperm. It also supports the health of the ovaries. Selenium supports the T-helper cell, which is vital for the function of your immune system. Without sufficient selenium, you become highly vulnerable to infections, pathogens, cancer, and other immune system issues. Selenium also supports the TH1/TH2 ratio, helps control immune reactions, and helps to prevent autoimmune diseases. A deficiency in both vitamin D and selenium can have serious consequences for your immune system. Selenium helps build up glutathione, the body's master antioxidant. This potent antioxidant protects the liver and membranes in the body. The selenium in Brazil nuts has even more benefits and supports the following: • Skin health • Normal insulin production • Liver health • Mitochondrial health and function • Anxiety prevention Brazil nut trees grow in the Amazon and are around 500 to 1000 years old. They have extremely deep roots, which pull in nutrients and additional trace minerals that you can’t get at the superficial level. Brazil nuts are also an excellent source of copper, magnesium, and manganese. Selenium toxicity is rare, but it could occur if you consume 10 to 20 Brazil nuts every day for several months.

I eat two daily. My thyroid issue has improved so much that my doctor reduced my Synthroid dosage. She is even considering taking me off of Synthroid in a few months.

As a Brazilian, it’s amazing to learn so much about Brazil nuts, even here in Brazil, we don't know the benefits, not like in this video. They aren’t cheap, but they’re still affordable, especially if you eat just two a day. I’m definitely adding them to my routine.

According to studies reported by Dr. Michael Greger, if you eat just 4 Brazil nuts one day once a month it actually has a protective medicinal effect of lowering LDL cholesterol that last for a month.............eating Brazil nuts more than once a month, well, perhaps Dr. Berg is onto something here....
