How to Eat More Sulfur

Sulfur is the fourteenth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and is also an important mineral for the body. Sulfur, also known as the "beauty element" or the "cleansing mineral," as it keeps hair glossy and smooth, helps maintain clear, youthful skin and is necessary for healthy growth of the skin, hair and nails. Luckily, eating more sulfur is a snap.

Instructions

1. Eat a healthy, balanced diet low in refined foods, sugars and fats and high in dairy, meats, seeds and nuts and fresh fruits and vegetables. While the RDA recommends about 850 mg of sulfur each day, deficiencies are unlikely if you enjoy a balanced diet.

2. Include plenty of high protein foods in your daily diet, as they tend to be the best sources of sulfur. Eggs, particularly the yolks, dairy products, fish, meat and poultry are all great ways to eat more sulfur.

3. Take care with your diet if you are a vegetarian, as high protein sources such as eggs, dairy and meats are generally the best sources of dietary sulfur. However, you can eat more sulfur each day buy boosting your intake of legumes, nuts, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, onions, leek, garlic, watercress, kelp, grape juice, coconut milk and avocado.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure that you get plenty of sulfur in your daily diet, as it can only be stored in the skin, hair and nails where it is difficult for the body to reabsorb. Excesses of sulfur are excreted in urine and feces on a daily basis, and must be replenished each and every day.
