The Mineral That Can Improve Your Life
by Dr. David Juan
All of the vitamins and nutrients you take in play a vital role in your survival. And as more and more knowledge is acquired of their importance and how they work, the medical community and citizens alike can improve their appreciation for a quality diet. It seems that with each passing day, we learn about natural sources that can help us to prevent a number of diseases, while we improve our health.
Staying away from medicine and pharmaceuticals, when possible, is a great way to live. It’s refreshing to know that the earth is capable of providing almost everything you need to stay healthy, prevent disease and live without major problems. Of course, there are external factors that may fall beyond your control, but a healthy diet and active lifestyle can prevent a number of conditions, like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cancer, and a number of diseases and chronic illnesses.
One mineral that’s part of a healthy diet is zinc. Zinc has recently been recognized as one of the most important trace metals for human nutrition and lifestyle, according to a new review published by the Institute of Food Technologies.
Zinc is mainly found in meat protein (animals get it from the soil they consume), but it’s also available in supplement form and included in most multivitamins. It’s required for a number of bodily functions and physiological processes, and it is also used as a preventative drug for a number of conditions and diseases.
The new report estimates that roughly half of the world’s population is at risk for zinc deficiency. This might have something to do with inadequate access to zinc, dietary restrictions, and other factors. To get the most out of zinc, you should have between two and three grams in your blood, which is easy to do with supplementation or eating a diet featuring high-protein foods (predominantly meat proteins).
