Whether or not you've been a fan in the past, give Brussels sprouts another try. This superfood contains selenium, a mineral that helps protect against heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer. It can also keep your metabolism going.
"Your thyroid can't produce certain hormones without [selenium]. You can blame hormones for a lot of bad stuff, but they also happen to run your entire system—and thyroid hormones, specifically, control the metabolism of every cell in your body."
—Matthew Kadey, R.D.
