How Selenium Benefits Your Body. Selenium is able to play such a protective role in the body because it increases antioxidant capabilities and the quality of blood flow, therefore enhancing the bodyâs resistance against diseases and stress.hole foods are the best sources of selenium, especially when these foods are handled and prepared in a delicate way, since selenium may be destroyed during processing and very high heat cooking methods.
RDA of Selenium. The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board advises that adults and adolescents over age 13 need 55 micrograms of selenium each day. Children up to 13 years old need less -- between 20 and 40 micrograms daily, depending on age and weight. Pregnant and lactating women need more. During pregnancy, a woman should aim to consume 60 micrograms of selenium each day. When she is nursing, she needs about 70 micrograms.
