What food can you eat to supplement selenium?
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and health awareness, selenium supplementation has become a topic of general concern. Generally speaking, the total daily requirement of each person, the daily selenium supplement of adults in China is more than 25 micrograms, which has health care function; Adults with selenium deficiency should supplement 50 micrograms or more selenium every day. Because 72% of the soil in China lacks selenium, the selenium content of cereal crops such as wheat, rice and corn, which are the main food crops, is less than 40 μ g/kg. The daily selenium intake of China people is lower than the minimum intake recommended by the World Health Organization of 50 micrograms, and the daily selenium intake is only 30~45 micrograms, which is lower than that of Japan, Canada, the United States and other countries. Due to the general lack of selenium in China, no matter children, the elderly or patients.

Since selenium is so important, let's look at ways to supplement selenium. What are the usual ways?

1. Artificial selenium supplement: intake of various artificially added selenium supplement products. It is mainly divided into inorganic selenium and organic selenium. Inorganic selenium is mainly sodium selenite, which is mostly used in feed abroad and contains many toxins. Now it is on the verge of technology elimination.

Compared with inorganic selenium such as sodium selenite, organic selenium has the advantages of food safety, no toxic side effects, high absorption rate and high nutritional value (such as high-level vitamins and high-quality protein). Has no side effect and is beneficial to absorption.

2. Natural selenium supplement: Eat wild natural foods with high natural selenium content. Naturally grown selenium foods are healthier and more attractive. Practice shows that natural selenium supplementation is more beneficial to health and conforms to the way of returning to nature.

What are the edible plants and animals rich in selenium?

Besides beer yeast, wheat germ, garlic, asparagus, mushrooms and sesame seeds, foods rich in selenium also include many seafood, such as prawns, tuna and sardines. In addition, some plants have special selenium-enriched ability, such as corn, astragalus, sedge, Zi Yuan, atriplex, alfalfa and so on. For example, if the selenium content per gram of yellow flower is 10 mg and alfalfa is 32- 122 μ g, Brassica vegetables in Cruciferae also have strong selenium enrichment ability. Eggs contain more selenium than meat. In every 100g food, pork contains 10.6 micrograms, eggs contain 23.6 micrograms, duck eggs contain 30.7 micrograms, goose eggs contain 33.6 micrograms, ginseng contains 15 micrograms, and peanuts contain 13.7 micrograms.

It should be pointed out that high selenium content in food does not mean high absorption rate. Generally speaking, the utilization rate of selenium contained in fish and grains is low, only about 70%. The utilization rate of organic selenium is high, which can reach 70%-90% or even higher. Therefore, the effective way to absorb selenium is to eat more foods supplemented with organic selenium, such as 100 microgram of plant active selenium.

Plant active selenium is the best selenium supplement product recommended by scientific research frontiers. Crops absorb selenium from the soil improved by selenium-enriched technology, and it exists in the form of selenium amino acids through photosynthesis and biotransformation in vivo. The growth cycle is 5-6 months (based on the plant growth cycle), and the human body absorption rate is over 99%. It is much higher than inorganic selenium (sodium selenite, which has been banned in the world at present), yeast selenium, malt selenium and nano selenium (the absorption rate of human body is only 40%-60%), and the rest is inorganic selenium residue, which is not easy to be metabolized and eliminated from the body, and the human body will have problems after a long time! At present, the brand with good reputation for plant active selenium on the market is 100 microgram.

In fact, 100 microgram is the originator of plant active selenium! Now we have selenium fertilizer and precise root application technology, and we have made continuous technological breakthroughs in the fields of efficient root absorption, initial transformation of stems, leaves and seeds into final storage technology, and the existing forms of selenium amino acids in crops. Now it has 1 1 patented technologies.

There are few selenium-enriched areas in the world, and most people lack selenium. 72% of our country is short of selenium, so each of us basically needs selenium supplement. The content of selenium in human body is about 14mg-2 1mg, especially in liver, pancreas and kidney. Because selenium can protect the cardiovascular system, prevent and treat liver diseases and cancer, it has become a multifunctional nutrient, claiming to delay aging and prolong life. At the same time, selenium is also an antidote to heavy metals, which can combine with heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury, so that these toxic heavy metals are excreted without being absorbed by the intestine. In addition, the intake of healthy people can enhance immunity, protect children's eyes and reduce diseases for middle-aged and elderly people.

If the intake of selenium is low, the incidence of cancer and leukemia in intestine, liver, stomach, vision, brain development, prostate, breast, ovary, lung and other corresponding organs will be high.

Health is not only a personal matter, but also a matter of treatment. The cost of prevention is far lower than that of medical treatment. For the sake of family and yourself, health starts with 100 microgram of plant active selenium.
