In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the one type of food with the highest concentration of zinc in the world. The #1 best source of zinc is oysters. Oysters are loaded with bio-available zinc. Red meat, fish, and pumpkin seeds also contain some zinc. 25% of people are deficient in zinc. Zinc is a mineral that isn’t stored in the body—this means that you have to consume zinc-rich foods regularly to maintain sufficient zinc levels. A zinc deficiency is difficult to diagnose—blood tests often won’t reveal a zinc deficiency. Only long-term zinc deficiencies will show up on tests. Zinc deficiency symptoms include: • Decreases lymphocytes • Enlarged spleen • Decreased response to pathogens • Thymus atrophy • Increased duration of infection • Increases susceptibility to infection • Loss of taste/smell • Decreased wound healing. • Low testosterone • Increased inflammation Aside from not consuming enough zinc-rich foods, you may also be low on zinc due to: • Phytates (found in grains) • Sugar • Stress • Infection • Antacids (Stomach acidity helps zinc absorption) • Malabsorption • Liver damage • Diabetes • Vegan diets Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
