In last week's Weekend Sun (October 25), I have just read about some women, who going through menopause being disturbed at their loss of hair.
An inexpensive, natural solution is to eat two Brazil nuts a day.
Brazil nuts come from South America and have high selenium levels. Selenium is a trace element at very low levels in New Zealand soils. After about two months, peoples' blood levels rise to a healthy level, which is 1.6-2.0 micromol/lt. Two women I know well, and I have discussed this matter with, both have assured me even after some years of good selenium levels they continue to keep their levels up.
They do this for 'good hair” and the range of health benefits an adequate level ensures.
