Zinc plays a crucial role in the functioning of our bodies, yet it is still poorly understood: for a long time, the importance of zinc in biology seemed secondary. It was only in the 1960s that studies proved its essential nature.
Zinc, a trace element with many benefits
First of all, zinc is an important element for the immune system.
Which is always very interesting, even more so in winter and during an epidemic.
Our natural defense mechanisms must function as well as possible for the best protection against various microbial attacks and zinc contributes to this.
Zinc is also involved in many biochemical reactions essential to the proper functioning of the body: neurological and reproductive functions, hormone synthesis.
It also fights against cell aging through its antioxidant properties.
Not forgetting its function in regulating blood sugar levels and its ability to strengthen the skin, enabling it to heal better.
In which foods can zinc be found naturally?
Zinc is found in several types of foods:
- Of animal origin: meat, offal, cheese, seafood for the richest;
- Plant-based: unrefined grain products also contain it, as do legumes. Among the most generous in zinc , we can cite, for example, rye bread, pumpkin seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, pecans
It is important to note, however, that the body only absorbs 15 to 40% of the zinc naturally present in food. This is one of the reasons why dietary supplements containing it are so beneficial.
While it is therefore possible to consume foods rich in zinc, zinc food supplements are a perfect and easy solution to ensure optimal coverage of our body's zinc needs.
