Brazil Nuts: A Super Food
If you’re looking for a healthy and super tasty snack to enjoy, Brazil nuts are an excellent choice. Brazil nuts only come from large trees that grow wild in the Amazon.
These nuts hold about 3500% recommended daily intake of selenium which is a cofactor of an anti-oxidant enzyme. Selenium is so powerful that it may help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower cholesterol. It is a trace mineral essential to immune and thyroid function.
Did you know that selenium deficiencies may cause anxiety and depression disorders? Just 1-2 nuts a day provide enough of this trace element to help fight diseases. Furthermore, brazil nuts can help support the body use iron, promote thyroid function, and even repair tissues.
Store them in the refrigerator or freezer because they go rancid easily. And, whatever you do, don’t eat too many of them because they can hurt your digestion! Too much selenium is also problematic, so keep your intake to only a few a day and watch out for extra supplements.
Brazil Nuts contain the following elements:
- High Selenium Content
- Unsaturated Fats and Omega-6 Fatty Acids
- Complete Proteins
- Vitamin E and B-Complex Vitamins
- Dietary Fiber
What are some healthy resources?
- Raw Organic Brazil Nuts
- Trader Joe’s Brand
- Brazil Nut Butter
