Hormone balancing Brazilnut yogurt

This yogurt is quick to make and is packed with selenium: a trace element which forms important proteins to keep the immune system strong. Selenium, found in Brazil nuts, also ensures that our cells stay healthy and this trace element is stored in the muscles and the thyroid gland. The thyroid again needs selenium (and iodine) to secrete thyroid hormones. So enjoy this hormone balancing creamy brazil nut yogurt.
