Eggs contain a significant amount of selenium — a natural antioxidant, said therapist E. Sysayeva.
According to the specialist, egg yolk contains particularly high levels of selenium. Its level largely depends on the feed that chickens are given, which is why organic eggs are considered the most beneficial.
Adults only need to consume 1–2 eggs a day, while children need one, the doctor specified.
Selenium is also found in meat and fish, especially in tuna and salmon. For example, 150 g of chicken or turkey breast provides about 50% of the daily requirement for the mineral. A portion of poultry liver weighing 50–70 g nearly covers the selenium requirement. However, it is not recommended to consume liver daily due to its high vitamin A content, emphasized Sysayeva.
