Next to iron, zinc is the most abundant mineral found in the human body. This mineral is essential in cellular metabolism, immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Moreover, zinc enhances better growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Zinc is also essential for proper functioning of the taste and smell senses.
It should be noted that strict vegetarians and vegans, alcohol drinkers, and those who avoid red meat are more prone to a zinc deficiency. Listed below are six warning signs to take note of.
In order to avoid zinc deficiency, experts recommend to eat foods rich in zinc or take zinc supplements. Zinc can be found mainly in different foods, red meat sources and non-red meat sources. Red meat sources include beef, pork, lamb, veal, and bacon. On the other hand, non-red meat sources include almonds, butter beans, chicken breast, cheddar cheese, turkey meat, and soya bean.
