Selenium in Daily Life Uncovered
QIZHE WEN
In 2025’s summer, Mom’s friend took me to Wuling Mountain’s Chinese medicinal testing center. I watched technicians use precise tools to measure selenium in Enshi Yulu and Lichuan Hong teas.
Selenium proteins and glutathione peroxidase-once abstract in my biology textbook—became tangible: they’re in Grandpa’s hypertension meds, Mom’s skincare antioxidants, and my brother’s post-workout selenium yeast tablets.
“Enshi’s selenium isn’t for flaunting,” Mom stressed, “but a gift for preserving life.”
2025年的暑假，妈妈的闺蜜带着我参观了武陵山中药材检验检测中心。在实验室里亲眼看到技术员用精密仪器检测恩施玉露和利川红的硒含量。
生物课本里的硒蛋白、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶不再抽象，它们就是外公降压药里的辅助成分，是妈妈护肤品里的抗氧化因子，是弟弟运动后补充体力的硒酵母片。
妈妈告诉我“恩施的富硒资源不是炫耀的资本，而是守护生命的礼物。”
