Selenium can be found in a variety of foods, some of the richest sources being Brazil nuts, seafood (such as tuna, halibut and sardines) and offal such as liver. Eggs, sunflower seeds and whole grains are other good sources of selenium. Integrating these foods into your diet can help you achieve optimal levels of selenium.
Selenium supplements: benefits and risks
Although selenium supplements may benefit people with a deficiency, it is important to use them with caution. Excessive selenium intake can lead to toxicity, with symptoms such as gastrointestinal disorders, hair loss and nerve damage. It is preferable to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplementation in order to ensure safe and appropriate use.
Preventive measures against age spots beyond selenium
In addition to maintaining adequate levels of selenium, you can take other measures to prevent age spots. This includes the use of sunscreen on a daily basis, the wearing of protective clothing and the avoidance of maximum exposure to the sun. A diet rich in antioxidants, regular skin care and good hydration can also promote skin health and reduce the risk of age spots.
