What is Zinc and where is it found?\u00a0<\/strong>Zinc is really important to the human body because it is found in every tissue. It is used in cell division and is a really good antioxidant, which can help to prevent cancer. Zinc is also involved with our hormones and maintaining certain levels. A Zinc deficiency may offer an explanation<\/strong> as to why you may be feeling tired due to an inability to sleep, suffer from acne or take longer to recover from a cold.<\/p>\n In third world countries, it is the cause of high mortality rates because of the problems it can cause in children such as diarrhea and pneumonia.<\/p>\n Your reproductive system may not function as it should if you do not consume enough zinc-rich foods. This could lead to having low libido<\/a> and make it difficult to become pregnant<\/a>.<\/p>\n Zinc is vital to help look after your immune system and ensure it is strong to fight off disease. If you are prone to colds, and they take a long time to go, it could be down to your Zinc levels<\/a>.<\/p>\n Your skin holds 6% of the total amount of zinc in the body<\/a>. If your body is lacking zinc, your skin may become dry and pale. If you have noticed the appearance of stretch marks on the body, this too could be a lack of zinc. When you have enough zinc present in the body, it performs synthesis within the cells which can help the healing of acne wounds faster.<\/p>\n If your hair is lacking in Zinc it will grow normally. You may first notice an appearance of dandruff which then leads to hair loss<\/a>.<\/p>\n A zinc deficiency can lead to an increase in your histamine levels<\/a>. If you have too much histamine in your body, you will begin to experience symptoms such as the runny nose, itchy eyes, etc.<\/p>\n Your bones hold a large amount of zinc<\/a> so if your body is missing it, you may start to experience pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n If your body does not contain sufficient amounts of zinc, it can lead to a loss of appetite which can then result in more serious problems. If you are eating less, you are obviously losing out on essential vitamins and minerals from food<\/strong>. Your body would then become weak and your immunity is then at risk.<\/p>\n Zinc plays a big part in how well you sleep<\/a> as it is involved in the production and regulation of melatonin<\/a>, which is a hormone that helps you drift off to sleep<\/a>.<\/p>\n There are a lot of symptoms not mentioned above that can identify a zinc deficiency<\/em>. It\u2019s an essential dietary mineral so you should aim to try to incorporate more zinc-rich foods into your diet<\/strong>. A great source of zinc can be found in pecan, cashews, pumpkin seeds, pine nuts, eggs, and fish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is Zinc and where is it found?\u00a0Zinc is really important to the human body because it is found in every tissue.
