The human body cannot exist with almost all the chemical elements presented in the Mendeleev table. Chrome did not exception and need it just like iron, iodine, copper and others.
According to the estimates of physicians, the lack of chromium in the human body leads to an atypical depression, which is expressed in the following:- Long fatigue;
- Constant drowsiness;
- Tract for sweet.
The latter, by the way, leads to excessive obesity. It has been proven that the lack of chromium in the human body, ill-friendly diabetes, worsens its condition several times.
Research suggests that today by using more refined (strongly purified) products, a person gets only 30 micrograms (μg) chromium per day. This indicator is very low, and it needs to be artificially increased. How? Meeting food rich in chrome. Most of all 100 grams of chromium product are found in fish: tuna - 90 μg, washing, mackerel, zubatka, flounder, salmon, crucian and carp - 55 μg. Also a lot of chromium (55 μg) in shrimp. A sufficient chromium is present in beef and its sub-products:- Liver - 35 μg;
- Kidney and heart - 30 μg;
- Language - 20 μg;
- Meat - 10 μg.
- Corn cereals - 22 μg;
- Pearl cereals - 13 μg.
- Men over 18 years old - 60-70 μg;
- Women over 18 years old - 50 μg;
- Athletes - 120-200 μg;
- Pregnant women - 100-120 μg;
- Teens 14-18 years old - 35 μg;
- Children 11-14 years old - 25 μg;
- Children 3-11 years - 15 μg;
- Kids 1-3 years old - 11 μg.
Now, knowing the chromium content in the main food and its daily need, you can easily calculate how many of this or that product you need to consume during the day.
