  • 7 Signs of Zinc Deficiency and Foods to Cure it: bit.ly/2G9QOpE
    Today I’m going to share with you the five warning signs that you’re zinc deficient. About 75% of people in the world are deficient, so being deficient in zinc is very common.
    The 5 warning signs you’re zinc deficient:
    1.) If you get sick a lot or have immune system issues
    2.) Have leaky gut (draxe.com/7-sig...)
    3.) If you struggle with diarrhea or IBS
    4.) Thinning hair
    5.) Inflammatory skin issues like acne, eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis
    One of the biggest factors in causing zinc deficiency is high levels of emotional stress. The second most common cause of zinc deficiency is over-exercise. The third most common reason your zinc deficient is if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. Lastly, if you’re older, you may tend to have malabsorption, which causes a zinc deficiency.
    In order to get more zinc in your diet, you need to consume more zinc-rich foods. The top 5 zinc-rich foods are pumpkin seeds, oysters, grass-fed beef, sprouted nuts and seeds, and peas. Additionally, probiotics are a key supplement to take when zinc deficient because it can help your overall absorption of nutrients.

    Top zinc-rich foods (healthier sources first):
    1.) Pumpkin Seeds
    2.) Squash Seeds
    3.) Sesame Seeds
    4.) Flaxseeds
    5.) Chia Seeds
    6.) Spinach
    7.) Asparagus
    8.) Peas
    9.) Cashews
    10.) Mung Beans
    11.) Peanuts
    12.) Mushrooms (shiitake, white, crimini, etc.)
    13.) Lentils
    14.) Garbanzo Beans
    15.) Quinoa
    16.) Toasted Wheat Germ
    17.) Oats
    18.) Tofu
    19.) Shrimp
    20.) Scallops
    21.) Oysters
    Yogurt (from Grass-Fed Cows)
    22.) Organic Turkey
    23.) Grass-Fed Beef
    24.) Grass-Fed Lamb
    25.) Cheese (from Grass-Fed Cows)
    26.) Chocolate (probably the dark stuff)
    Plus a LOT of other veggies. Veggies always have lots of good things in them. But, although the calorie-nutrient ratio is AMAZING for veggies, they don't really have a ton of calories. SO, it is probably unwise to rely mainly on veggies for your zinc... (Unless you eat like a spinach-crazed Popeye...)

    I began taking a zinc supplement when Covid hit. After a lifetime(53 years) of dealing with bumpy skin on the front of my thighs and the back of my upper arms, my skin is totally smooth! A totally unexpected benefit. I only realized it was the reason for my suddenly smooth skin when I ran out of the zinc for a couple weeks and the rough skin came back. I will take it for the rest of my life.

    I started taking a zinc supplement recently (15 mg as well as several other trace minerals), and the difference in my energy levels was astounding. So this video has been truly helpful for me and I will continue to take zinc to maintain energy levels, as well as iodine to aid metabolism and thyroid function. But I have to say zinc is one the best supplements I've added into my diet, and I'm eating a lot more seafood now too.

      This is a blatant lie. Of course your body stores zinc, if it didn't you would not survive more than a few days because zinc is required in all your cells' genetic replication mechanisms. With that being said, due to the modern diet, many people become zinc deficient over long periods of time, such as months or years. So it is important to take supplements if you aren't regularly eating zinc-containing foods.

      Wow that just rang a bell. 4 years ago I started working out really vigorously pretty much all day because I was young at the time (14) and I thought I would get ripped. Instead my hair fell out and I became lethargic, depressed, and confused 24/7 I also lost about 90% of my ability to smell. People around me fart as a joke and I’m never able to smell it despite everyone else in the room being able to.

      SORRY.MOST OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD BE CAUSED BY ANY
      OTHER DEFICIENCY.WAY TOO GENERAL.ALL BECOMING THE SAME.Doctors of medicine talk largely in generalizations and in the negative and demonize a lot of nutritionally rich foods sugars milk
      Tomatoes etc.Nutritionists are better at telling you about the values of foods and best ones to choose and and are less prone
      To the avoid avoid avoid approach.TOMATOES AND DAIRY TAKE
      THE BIGGEST HITS.

    I think any discussion on taking zinc supplements should include balancing it out with copper as well.
    I had a huge belief that I needed to up my Zinc, and didn't always keep up the copper and felt the affect, but didn't know it was from the lack of copper. Such as feeling cold, probably due to poor red blood cell production.🙂👍🏼

    I had all 5 of these warning signs. Gastritis/ulcers, excema & butterfly rash on cheeks. Sick all the time & then was diagnosed with a systemic/auto immune disorder in 2008.
    Then I seen a natural-pathic dr & she said that I was anemic, even though the medical drs testing showed I wasn't. But she said that my levels showed that I was on the low end of the scale & said that their scale levels aren't the same as medical doctors. They don't wait till levels are really low, to start fixing the problem like medical doctors do.
    Then she helped to me to get better, by taking nutritional shakes (green & berry smoothies), taking zinc tablets ,probiotics, with vit b 12 injections, & clean eating (eating no processed foods. Only foods that had a mother, ie. animal meats (in whole form, not nuggets, etc) & plants & fish & NO BREAD/PASTA & no sugar (especially fake sugars). Only natural occurring sugars was ok. & to reduce my soy level consumption (I am lactose intolerant). (& glutamine supplement?I think that's what its called, can't remember.) & no consumption of margarine. Only real butter mixed with olive oil 1/2 & 1/2.
    It was a real struggle at first to let go of cake, donuts (1 of my favorite foods) & toast, etc. then I winded up healing, getting stronger & much more energy & all symptoms disappeared. Also lost 60lbs! :) & was even able to get off my stomach acid medications (I don't even know why I was put on that, even though they took out my gall bladder which had very little stones, but had choleostasis-pronounced something like that).
    Then in 2011, I had to follow up with a medical doctor for physical, etc & was told that I was actually harming myself by following this strict diet and how I was missing very important key nutrients and I could cause myself to suffer heart complications.
    So shocked & confused, I stopped seeing my natural dr (because I felt angry) & all treatments & went back to my old diet & I now I am worse than I was before.
    I now suffer from these mouth sores (biopsied & its called Lichen Planus), which some days bleed really badly. Occasionally these really bad purple sores on the roof of my mouth (they say it could be a symptom of lupus or low iron levels), oh, which I am now severely anemic & my inflammation levels are through the roof. Excema that comes & goes, as well as the butterfly rash on my cheeks, that comes & goes, as well as all my previous symptons, joint pain, fatigue/exhaustion, and severe bone pain, feeling sick all the time. Diverticulosis & I also get edema. I also gained back all my 60lbs & more. Weighing now 270lbs!
    So now I am tired of all the medications that I have to take & how I have to take them for the rest of my life & all the frequent medical testing/scans, specialists, etc, that I actually feel betrayed by the medical doctors, because I feel so strongly that something is causing this. So for the last 2 years I have tried to locate my natural pathic dr (she moved) and I have been unable to & I have felt so defeated (I guess that's how she must have felt?).
    Watching your video's, reading your website stuff, has been re-educating & reminding me, of what she taught me. Also teaching me how to make my own lotions, etc. that is so important to my healing journey & for that, I thank you. I am just beginning. This is another beginning for me, except for this time, I feel like it is so much harder to quit eating junk. Its driving me crazy. It was so much easier to quit smoking than to quit eating bad foods.
    But anyways I hope to be able to get myself on the road to recovery soon & fast & I thank you for all the work that you do.
    Cheers :)
    Ps I am bummed out that I missed the essential oil video gathering that was sent out in emails. I hope that you will do it again! :)
