Today, I want to talk to you about a big problem going on in India and Pakistan. It’s a micronutrient deficiency, and that micronutrient is zinc. Why is this happening?
This is especially a problem in:
• Pregnant and lactating woman
• Children
What is Zinc? - Zinc is involved in many biochemical reactions in the body. It’s a cofactor for 1000 enzymes. You really don’t want to miss out on the health benefits of zinc.
Zinc deficiency symptoms:
• Diarrhea
• Underweight
• Stunted growth
• Cognitive defects
• Susceptibility to malaria, pneumonia, and viruses
• Skin problems
• Stomach ulcers
• Low testosterone
• Alopecia
• Low thyroid
What causes zinc deficiency?
• Phytic acid (in rice, grains, beans, nuts, corn)
• Vegan diet (the best source of zinc is animal products)
• Diarrhea
• Sugar or refined carbohydrates
It’s essential for pregnant women and young children to take a trace mineral supplement or have plenty of foods high in zinc. A healthy ketogenic diet is also crucial to avoid a zinc deficiency.
