Selenium is a vital mineral for the human body that plays numerous roles. It is used to boost immunity, participate in antioxidant activity, protect against damage and inflammation from free radicals and play a key role in maintaining a healthy metabolism. Selenium intake can have positive antiviral effects, promote fertility and reproduction, and may even reduce the risk of certain cancers, autoimmune diseases, and thyroid disease.
The health benefits of selenium come from its antioxidant activity. As a component of antioxidant enzymes, it helps maintain healthy tissues throughout the body. It can help increase resistance to disease and the negative effects of stress. It is believed that its ability to fight oxidative stress and inflammation is due to various types of selenoproteins found in this mineral.
Acts as an antioxidant and protects against oxidative stress – This mineral helps fight the aging process and supports a strong immune system by reducing free radical damage. It has a synergistic effect with other antioxidants such as vitamin E, which allows the body to protect itself from oxidative stress. Stress, of course, contributes to many conditions, including heart disease and neurological conditions.
May help protect against cancer – Selenium can be especially helpful if you have a weakened immune system or a family history of cancer.
It can help boost immunity to viruses – Selenium maintains immunity because it is necessary for the proper functioning of the immune system – plus it is a key nutrient to counteract the development of viruses, including HIV.
Improves blood flow and can reduce the risk of heart disease – Low selenium levels are associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, potentially accompanied by suffering from stroke or heart attack.
Helps regulate thyroid function – Selenium acts as a catalyst for the production of active thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland controls many important daily functions of the body, including appetite, sleep, temperature, weight, energy and more. A problem with the proper function of the thyroid gland can lead to negative symptoms such as irritability, muscle weakness, fatigue, weight gain or loss, sleep problems and many other reactions.
It can help increase fertility – Selenium is good for fertility because it is needed for proper sperm motility and also increases blood flow. These are two key components involved in conceiving and overcoming infertility. This mineral is included in the mitochondrial capsule of sperm and can affect the behavior and function of sperm as they move through the vaginal canal.
