Zinc
Tip of the week. ZINCWith the typical american diet of: sugar, flour, diary and fried foods, and processed foods, many are deficient in zinc. It can be stored in tissue but if you never fill up you could be deficient. Fill up your supply with zinc rich foods such as: mushrooms (cooked or raw we always have them in the fridge), fresh or frozen if you have to vegetables (especially spinach), Lobster, Oysters (our favorite!), Dark Chocolate (must be at least 72% cocoa), and Raw or Dry Roasted Nuts (avoid nuts roasted with sunflower, safflower or other vegetable oils).Why is zinc important? 10 Reasons
