RealAge Tip of the Day

Brazilian Bravado

For extra cancer-fighting nutrition, mix up your snack habit with a handful

of Brazil nuts.

Although many nuts deliver a small amount of selenium, Brazil nuts are

particularly high in this antioxidant nutrient. A 1-ounce serving of Brazil

nuts contains over 800 micrograms of selenium. Early studies suggest that

this trace mineral may offer protection against breast cancer and prostate

cancer.

RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that is low in calories and high in

nutrients can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
