Chromium is a very valuable trace element for the human body, which is part of almost all tissues and organs. Its content is especially high in bones, hair and nails. In addition, chromium takes a very active part in the process of blood formation, affects the rate of insulin production and carbon metabolism in the body.
Instructions
Step 1
The leaders in terms of chromium content are two types of fish: pelamida (100 mg per 100 g of product), tuna (90 mg). They are already followed by pink salmon, pike, herring, herring, perch, sea bass, shrimp, pike perch, pollock, catfish, capelin, blue whiting, capelin, cod and hake with approximately the same indicator of 55 mg per 100 g of fish. Slightly less, but still a lot, chromium in beef liver (32 mg), kidneys (31 mg), heart (29 mg), as well as chicken fillet (about 28 mg per 100 g) and chicken egg yolk (25 mg) …
Step 2
Of all cereals, the leader in chromium content is corn with 22-23 mg per 100 g of weight. The element content in dry and low-fat (1%) cow's milk is 17 mg. Soybeans and various beans contain between 10 and 16 mg of chromium, depending on the variety.
Step 3
Duck lags behind chicken - about 15 mg of chromium in 100 g of poultry fillet, quail - about 14 mg and turkey - 11 mg. Much less than beef, chromium in lamb (8.5 mg), rabbit (8, 4 mg) and goose (8 mg). There is this element in mushrooms. And in champignons there is about 13 mg of chromium per 100 g of fresh produce.
Step 4
Among fruits and vegetables, beets with 20 mg and peaches with 14 mg per 100 g of product are in the lead, followed by radishes (11 mg), potatoes (about 10 mg), cherries (7 mg), bell peppers and cucumbers (6 mg), tomatoes, cabbage and onions (5 mg each), plums and apples (about 4 mg), grapes and green salad (3 mg each). Thus, fish is the best product for chromium deficiency. Moreover, it is not at all necessary that it be an expensive variety: you can consume rather cheap herring or pollock.
Step 5
Chromium deficiency is very dangerous for the human body, as a result of which the risk of type II diabetes is significantly increased. Its sufficient intake into the body can reduce hunger, remove cravings for harmful sugary foods and, as a result, reduce excess weight. In the course of numerous experiments, the positive effect of chromium supplements on the body of people who already have such a history record as diabetes has also been proven. In this case, he is able to reduce constant thirst, remove increased fatigue and frequent urge to urinate.
Step 6
Chromium deficiency can also lead to atypical depression, which manifests itself in persistent drowsiness, constant sugar cravings and weight gain. This disease is quite common in countries with a developed culture of consuming fast food products, since chromium is found only in whole crops, and not in refined products - buns, sweets and other types. In particular, for the majority of Russians, the lack of chromium refers to the already chronic type, since a significant part of food is consumed already in processed form, with 90% of nutrients, macro and microelements and valuable vitamins lost.
