Selenio en la dieta - Fuentes alimenticias

Nombres alternativos

Dieta y selenio

Fuentes alimenticias:

Los alimentos vegetales, como las verduras, son las fuentes de selenio más comunes en la dieta. La cantidad de selenio presente en las verduras que se consumen depende de la cantidad de mineral que estaba presente en el suelo donde la planta creció.

El pescado, los mariscos, las carnes rojas, los granos, los huevos, el pollo, el hígado y el ajo son todos buenas fuentes de selenio. Las carnes obtenidas de animales que comieron granos o plantas que se encuentran en suelos ricos en selenio tienen niveles más altos de este mineral.

La levadura de la cerveza, el germen de trigo, al igual que los panes enriquecidos son también buenas fuentes de selenio.
