Unrecognized Signs of SELENIUM Deficiency (Some are Subtle)

Dr. Ken Berry - The Proper Human Diet & Ancestral Health

Summary

Selenium deficiency is a significant health concern that can lead to various symptoms, according to Dr. Ken Berry, a family physician. He emphasizes that while selenium is essential for many bodily functions, it is often difficult for individuals to obtain adequate amounts through diet alone. Certain populations, including those with compromised gut function and the elderly, are particularly at risk for deficiency.

Dr. Berry outlines several hidden symptoms of selenium deficiency, which can be mistaken for other health issues. These include infertility in both men and women, generalized muscle weakness, symptoms of hypothyroidism such as unexplained weight gain and fatigue, mental fog, accelerated hair loss, and increased susceptibility to infections. He notes that the availability of selenium in food is contingent on the mineral's presence in the soil where crops are grown or animals graze.

To combat potential deficiencies, Dr. Berry suggests considering supplements, such as mineral drops, to ensure adequate selenium intake. He also points out that understanding the sources of selenium-rich foods is crucial for maintaining optimal health.
