so the highest zinc food in the world is
oysters that's number one oysters are
loaded with zinc and the type of zinc
that's bile available
then we get red meat okay then we get
fish and the list goes down from there
there is a small amount of zinc in
pumpkin seeds for example
and there are a few other things but
here's the problem with zinc
there is no storage system in our body
for
zinc so if we're not getting it from the
diet we are going to be
deficient 25
of the planet is deficient in zinc
and it's very difficult to determine if
you're deficient
other than symptoms because when you do
a blood test it's not detectable
even though you're very deficient it's
only detectable
after a long-term deficiency or a severe
depletion but let's talk about the
consequence of not having enough zinc in
the body
first of all you're going to have
decreased amount of lymphocytes
it's your white blood cells so you're
going to have a hard time fighting off
infection
and pathogens if it's very severe you
may get in a large
spleen get a decreased response to
pathogens so
not only do you have decreased numbers
of white blood cells
but your response to pathogens is
sluggish so you can't fight infection
as well as you did when you had enough
zinc the thymus
the training camp for the white blood
cells
gets smaller next one is increased
susceptibility to an infection so you're
more susceptible
to getting sick so whereas one person
would not necessarily get the infection
you might get it
next one is loss of taste and smell next
one is decrease
wound healing and
decrease testosterone and because zinc
is an anti-inflammatory you lose your
ability to get rid of inflammation so
you have more
inflammation there are a couple other
reasons why people
are deficient in zinc a big one is
phytates
phytates are in fiber they're in whole
grains
so when you consume flour products
breads
pasta cereal crackers rice
alone with phytates it's in the bran
it's a fiber
and phytates block zinc okay so that's
number one
number two stress will deplete your
zinc high levels of cortisol over a
period of time
will deplete your zinc sugar
as in not just sugar but high fructose
corn syrup and honey and all the other
types of
sweeteners also coming right down here
diabetes which
is a condition where you have high sugar
will also deplete
zinc so these two are very similar the
longer you have an infection the less
zinc you're going to have in your body
and you need zinc
for these things right here and acids
will deplete you of zinc you need
an acidic stomach to absorb zinc so as
you get
older you lose the stomach acid you can
no longer pull zinc in
like you did before malabsorption if you
have
gut damage you're going to have a hard
time absorbing zinc
if you have liver damage even a fatty
liver
even in a liver that's inflamed even a
liver
that has scar tissue you're not going to
be able to absorb
zinc and so many people have a fatty
liver and they don't even know it
if you're a vegan it's going to be a lot
more difficult to get
zinc because you're consuming things
that are pulling it out
and you're not consuming animal products
so you're not going to get the
bio-available zinc that you need
so anyway i just want to increase the
awareness of zinc and the importance of
getting enough zinc
in your diet hey we're back
with another amazing recipe no grains no
sugar
