Zinc! Can it help with YOUR Anxiety?
In this video, I'm going to be telling you how Zinc can affect your mental state
How much of it you need, and the best way to consume it, so that by the end of this video
You'll know exactly if you should be using Zinc to help with your Anxiety
G'day there, I'm Jesse Crowe, The Travelling Scientist
and after studying years of Pharmacology, I'm here to help you live Smarter, Happier and Healthier!
Zinc is an essential mineral that is involved in over 3,000 different proteins and reactions in the body
So it's kind of a big deal!
I'm very important...I have many leather-bound books...
And approximately 1 Billion people around the world a deficient in Zinc!
Which can lead to hair loss, Infertility, Anxiety and Depression!
Do you get Anxiety!? Let me know in the Comments section down below
Say something like "Anxiety SUCKS" because it DOES!
I suffer from Anxiety quite a bit, I'm actually Anxious about this video right now!
And I can tell you, it's Debilitating, it does suck...
But I'm not alone and together we can work through this!
Studies have shown that people with low levels of Zinc have a higher risk of being Anxious
and treating Anxious people with a zinc Supplement reduces those Anxiety symptoms!
So scientists aren't sure why Zinc and Anxiety are inversely related...
But if more Zinc means less Anxiety... then let's get some more Zinc!
But how much Zinc do we need?
Well, the recommended daily intake of Zinc is 10 mg
And you can get Zinc naturally in your diet by eating things like red meat, chicken, fish, nuts and legumes
But if you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you're way more likely to be deficient in Zinc
And you should consider taking your Zinc supplement
Also, if you drink a lot of alcohol, this will wash away a lot of your Zinc
and Alcoholics are way more likely to be Anxious
so if you drink quite a bit then you should also consider taking a Zinc supplement
Too much zinc is associated with kidney and liver damage
Definitely don't overdo it because...I'm not a Doctor
but I can tell you that Zinc depositing in your organs is NOT a good thing
Now, my buddy "Chuggsky" takes Zinc every single day, Here is what he has to say about it
Howdy there fellas, I'm Chuggsky, and I've chugged a few beers in my day, let me tell you what!
A while back I had a couple of health problems, wasn't feeling too flash so I went down to the doctors
And they told me that all the alcohol I was drinking with washing the Zinc right out of my body
I said "Doc, that don't make any damn sense"
and he said "Boy, you got two choices. You better quit drinking, or start taking a Zinc supplement"
Well I thought about it long and hard and I decided to quit drinking...
That lasted about 20 minutes!
I started taking that Zinc supplement, and I tell you what
Turned my life right around!
All those health problems were gone, now I can drink whatever the hell I want!
So I'm gonna keep chugging, you keep it up too
