When it comes to learning how to combat and prevent any disease in our lives, more often than not we discover that the key to this problem is something from nature that we are currently not getting enough of. The same goes with the connection found between cancer and the mineral Selenium. The recommended dosage of Selenium is 200 mg but the Life Extension Foundation's Disease Prevention and Treatment states that the average person consumes only 60-100 mg per day, which is not nearly enough to reap the benefits this mineral can provide. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant, which plays a vital role in protecting and enhancing the immune system as well as preventing the growth of certain types of tumors throughout the body. When Selenium is combined with Vitamin C and Vitamin E together they can become even stronger and prevent free radicals from taking over the body from the inside out. Many people are not aware of the dangers of free radicals and how they can be the cause of the beginning of many different types of cancers. The free radicals can damage the DNA and create changes in our cells, which then can lead to deformed cells, creating the onset of cancer.Selenium can actually help prevent the spreading and duplication of these damaged cells. This quite literally means that this mineral can stop the spread of cancer tumors when they are in your body and for many people this is the defining moment between life and death. Not only can Selenium help prevent the onset of many different types of cancer but according to the Life Extension Foundation, this mineral can also make the treatment of chemotherapy that much easier on your body. Combined with Vitamin A and E, Selenium can actually reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy and make the treatment easier for every cancer patient to endure. Many people have wondered in the past what Selenium can really do and more and more its benefits are being published for the public to learn about. Now it is important to understand that you should not take more than 200 mg of Selenium a day and there are natural ways to consume this mineral before leaning towards supplementation.
