Let’s talk about why you should eat one Brazil nut every day. One Brazil nut contains roughly between 68-91mcg of selenium. Selenium is essential, and many people are deficient. The daily value of selenium that we need is about 55mcg. This means just one Brazil nut a day could potentially prevent a deficiency. 

Selenium is a trace mineral. It’s very difficult to get selenium from plants and animals because selenium is deficient in many soils. Certain fertilizers can also make selenium unavailable in the soil. 

I believe it’s best to consume an organic Brazil nut because you don’t know if they spray these nuts after they harvest them. 

Selenium is a very powerful antioxidant, and it's a building block to make glutathione. Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. Selenium also has the ability to decrease TPO antibodies by 21%, which has to do with Hashimoto’s. 

Potential benefits of selenium:
• It may protect against cancer
• It supports the cardiovascular system 
• It supports the immune system 
• It supports the thyroid conversion
• It helps build glutathione 
• It decreases the toxic effects of mercury, lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals

When my thyroid was hyper, I lost big chunks of my hair and parts of my head were as bald as a baby's behind. Still quite young, I was morified and horrified--everyone thought I had cancer treatments. A nurse told me there was nothing really that could be done until my thyroid slowed but she did encourage me to eat brazil nuts. My hair grew back in fuller than ever--they worked like a charm. Now as I am aging I use them to keep hair loss down and it really does wwork. Who knew Brazil nuts could be so healing.

Hello Dr. Berg, I owe you every moment of health that I live. I owe you every moment of joy that I live in. I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. Your videos and advice were the reason for my recovery after I had been suffering from severe uterine bleeding for 3 years. It is unknown why, I was Lily Day because I can't sleep and my day was so tired, I just want to sleep but I can't because I am a mother of 4 children and married and I have to do my role as a mother and as a wife, but my life changed radically after following the healthy keto diet in order to get rid of uterine bleeding and many of the diseases that followed it. I thank God first, who helped me get to know you, and then I thank you for all your efforts to raise the level of health in the East and West, and all the words of the world cannot express my thanks and gratitude to you💖🌹

TFS this very important information with us all.
Take care too everybody. ♥️🙂🐶

[annieholbis]

I saw one of your videos in which you mentioned this and my daughter and I have been doing this ever since

[lynnharrell]

Dr. Berg’s 5 million followers are now going to buy up all the Brazil nuts, and the suppliers are going to have no idea why the demand went up suddenly. Lol

Not all Brazil nuts are high in selenium - ones grown in Brazil usually are, and perhaps most areas in the US, but if grown in Se deficient soil (like the South Island of New Zealand) they can have very little Se. I'm an analytical chemist who specialises in measuring trace elements, and was surprised how little Se NZ grown Brazil nuts had, though Brazilian ones analysed at the same time were very high in Se. This has caught our researchers before who assumed all Brazil nuts are high in Se. Just something to be aware of. 😀

My wife suffers with several auto immune problems and Hashimotos is one of them. So this video has one of those rare nuggets of information that we would not have known about. So I will be shopping for organic Brazil nuts today. Thanks to Dr. Berg. I know have another piece of info to help my wife combat her conditions.

[patiencekates]

One? I've never been able to eat just one! LOL

[samaus]

I eat organic and activatid and long soaked dehydrated from Bolivia

[meef]

Costco has an organic dry roasted bag for a deal. Good bang for buck. Thanks Dr B, love you all. Love yourself

Thanks Dr Berg for your very helpful videos! Have been following your advice for years now! I have been consuming 4 Brazil nuts every day after soaking it in water for 12 hours. This is important to break down the phytic acid . Phytic acid in nuts prevents the absorption of zinc, iron, magnesium and selenium . Please remember not to take more than 3-4 Brazil nuts a day because it can be toxic to the body. Also it’s best to take it with iodine rich food such as seaweed.

Mushrooms and sunflower seeds are a great source of Selenium for those who cant eat nuts

[maddyx]

Remember to soak them in water for around 12 hours so that the the phytates/phytic acid (anti-nutrients) is broken down and rendered harmless.

I was eating 3. I can switch to 1. They aren't my favorite anyway.

*I add 150g pasteurised egg whites to my morning shake!*

Morning shake: 250g Blue/Rasp-berries, Lo Carb Protein Powder, MCT oil, Pasteurised Egg Whites, Collagen Powder.

The rest of my diet is entirely: 2kg Red Meat per week (porterhouse), Beef Liver (great micronutrients), 300g Salmon once every 3 days, Canned Tuna, Boiled Eggs, Sweet Potato and 1 Avocado every two days.

I have a dessert every couple of days just on days I’m too low on calories. I’ve done keto before but it wasn’t sustainable. I feel so much stronger, more alert, less fatigued, better mental clarity etc, having more red meat and no veggies! When I did keto I was having mostly chicken (and salmon with only 1-2 red meat per week) and greens. Now I’m just having red meat and feel so much better! Feel stronger despite losing 40lbs, and all my inflammation is gone! Less joint pain (I suffer from Ehlers Danlos syndrome) so it’s had a huge effect.

To person reading this may the light of God shine on your path today. May God direct your steps into the right places for the achievement of your purpose.

I have raised livestock for years and minerals are so important and deficient in the area I live in. I have routinely given injections of selenium about 6 weeks before they birth, its important to include vitamin E for maximum absorption. If I don't give it, they tend to retain placenta's and sometimes the kids (goats) or calves have trouble walking. One small injection in them will correct that within hours. I've always been amazed by that. I wonder where I can find a good source of Brazil nuts that are not rancid and are organic.

[betorezende]

im brazilian, i eat 14 brazil nuts a day. In the north of my country, the people eat much more than me... Brazil nuts have more fattys than carbs compared the others nuts.
(sry for my bad english)

There is plenty of selenium in sardines, if selenium also decreases mercury toxicity as stated in this video, then it is a match made in heaven, I am gonna keep eating canned sardines.
