Older adults with low levels of the mineral selenium have less muscle strength, a new study shows.
Researchers found that in a group of men and women age 65 and up, those with the lowest blood levels of selenium were at greatest risk of poor muscle strength around the hips, knees and hands.
People commonly lose muscle mass and strength as they age, which contributes to falls, injuries and illness in elderly adults. The new findings, reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, suggest that low selenium levels may be one of the reasons for age-related muscle weakness.
It's too soon, however, to recommend selenium supplements for stronger muscles, according to the researchers. More studies are needed to see whether extra selenium benefits older muscles, they suggest. Food sources of selenium include grains, certain nuts, like Brazil nuts, and some meats and seafood, such as beef and tuna.
"To our knowledge, this is the first study to show an association between plasma selenium concentrations and poor muscle strength in older adults," according to Dr. Fulvio Lauretani, of the Tuscany Regional Agency in Florence, Italy, and his colleagues...............

Thanks for this valuable info, Chris! I think most of us in mainstream society are too full of sodium (the wrong toxic type also) and deficient in selenium, potassium and magnesium, folic acid, natural iodine, zinc, plant based calcium, natural Vitamin D, etc.
I think it was WhiteTiger who posted a while back that all one needs is at least 3 RAW Brazil nuts a day to get a good amount of selenium. I bet with the elderly, one should even add a few more. Every morning now , with my breakfast, I eat three raw brazil nuts. They are worth the $10.00 a pound bag-- I used to blow that money on junk crap, so I don't mind spending $10.00 on something that will restore my body.
If one is elderly, I reccomend getting these raw brazil nuts-- and crush them on your food as a garnish, if you can't chew them.
Also, I reccomend a chlorine filter in your bathtub, and a big carton of Epsom Salts to take an Epsom Salts bath in. Your body will absorb magnesium that way. I also recomend a supplement with Magnesium Citrate. That form of Magnesium will assimilate in the body more fully than the carbonate version. (this goes for Calcium as well-- skip the Carbonate version and preferrably get your calcium from food sources. The magnesium will help the body absorb it and your will find your joints will thank you for it)
With that being said, let's pray that the FDA keeps their greedy hands off of our Brazil Nut supply -- after they intend to poison our almonds come Sept. 1st.
