The previous article introduced that silicon dioxide is a common compound and has many benefits for the human body. However, the human body cannot produce silicon dioxide by itself, so it can only rely on food, health food, or skincare products to supplement it!
The daily requirement for an adult is about 10mg to 40mg, but as age increases, the loss of silicon dioxide in the human body will also accelerate! This is when daily silica supplementation becomes very important!
Did you know that silica is also present in many of the foods we eat every day? These include wattles, bracken, spinach, brown rice, carrots, turmeric, and more. In addition, many other foods also contain silica, but many people may not know it. However, many people may have thoughts like "Don't like carrots, don't like spinach, brown rice? You have to cook it yourself, bracken? It doesn't sound delicious...", making it difficult for modern people to consume enough silica, especially those who eat out.
However, to maintain good health, we should try to get enough silica. If you don't like certain silica-rich foods, try other foods such as corn, sesame, oats, soybeans, apples, peanuts, etc. These foods are readily available and rich in silica.
If you eat out, you can also pay attention to the restaurant menu. Some dishes may add bracken or other silica-rich ingredients. Plus, you can cook at home and use these ingredients to create delicious and healthy dishes. In addition, in the busy modern society, health food is the easiest way to supplement silica, and it is easy to obtain!
There are two types of health food containing silicon dioxide: solid pills or capsules, and most health foods are taken three times a day, as long as you remember to eat them before or after meals. The other type is concentrated liquid or powder, and you only need to add 5-10cc to your drink to easily take the silicon dioxide you need for a day. Since silicon dioxide is colorless and odorless, you don’t have to worry about the taste changing when you add it to any food or drink! For those who don’t like to swallow health food, concentrated liquid or powder is also a good choice!
In conclusion, it is essential to get as much silica as possible, as it has many benefits for the human body, such as promoting bone and joint health, aiding digestive health, promoting skin elasticity, and more. Even if you don't like certain foods that contain silica, there are other options you can try to stay healthy.
