Top 10 Signs Of A Zinc Deficiency

In this video we explore 10 warning signs of a zinc deficiency.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral used by the body for over 300 important functions such as making DNA, building hormones, healing wounds, and supporting the nervous system.

Unfortunately over 2 billion people worldwide show symptoms of a zinc deficiency which can lead to health problems if left unchecked, because zinc plays a role in turning over new cells throughout the body.

Over farmed soils contain less zinc, which means less is available in the foods that we grow and eat, so the best sources of zinc come from sea foods which grow in mineral rich waters.

In today's video we will uncover the top 10 signs your body needs more zinc, and how you can overcome this problem by fixing your diet and making some simple lifestyle changes.

▶️ 1. Loss Of Taste Smell
Zinc is used in enzyme reactions that allow our brains to perceive tastes and flavors. A deficiency can cause food to taste like cardboard, and aromas may smell odd or be none existent.

▶️ 2. Hair Loss
If you are low in Zinc you may suffer with thinning hair, a receding hairline or a dry itchy scalp. Zinc helps to build proteins like keratin for healthy hair. Zinc also helps to build sebum - the oil that moisturizes and nourishes your scalp.

▶️ 3. White Spots On Nails
Eating refined foods like sugar, bread or doughnuts causes depletes zinc which causes a weakness in the nails. This causes white spots to appear on the fingernails.

▶️ 4. Wounds That Won't Heal
Because zinc is required to repair cell membranes and grow new healthy skin cells, if you don't have enough your body will struggle to heal cuts and wounds.

▶️ 5. Low Testosterone
Testosterone is a key hormone important for both women and men. Without enough zinc, your hormones may fall out of balance, leading to low testosterone, muscle weakness, fatigue, mood swings and tiredness.

▶️ 6. Regular colds
Zinc supports a strong immune system that fights off pathogens and infections. Without enough zinc you may be left vulnerable to infection, and are more likely to be ill regularly throughout the year.

▶️ 7. Depression
Zinc also plays a role in building brain chemicals called neurotransmitters and hormones like dopamine. Without enough zinc, your 'feel good' hormones may be less potent causing low mood, depression, irritability and emotional instability.

▶️ 8. Vision Problems
The human eye stores a high amount if zinc, because it plays a role in building visual pigments in the retina. A deficiency in zinc can lead to dry eyes, because zinc is important for transporting Vitamin A to the eyes and keeping them moisturized. A zinc deficiency may make it harder to see at night when there are low levels of light.

▶️ 9. Ulcers
Zinc is important for protecting and healing the delicate inner skin of the body. A deficiency in zinc can therefore lead to ulceration of the stomach and the mouth.

▶️ 10. Leaky Gut
If the intestinal wall becomes damaged due to poor eating habits, toxins begin to leach into the body trigger immune reactions like psoriasis, eczema and other skin problems. This will use up your zinc supply to try and heal the damage in your gut, meaning that it's highly like you will be low in zinc.
