Your Body May Be Begging for Zinc ⚠️Added:
Your body is begging for zinc if you have these signs and most people completely miss them. Number one, skin and nails. I'm talking red, dry, flaky skin, especially around the nose and those little white spots on your nails.
That's not random. That's a zinc deficiency. Number two, gut and skin as in chronic diarrhea, acne that won't go away. Zinc is crucial for gut repair, especially against ulcers, but also it's important for skin repair and skin ulcers as well. Number three, immunity and vision. Does it taking forever to get over an infection or you have a mouth ulcer that won't heal? Suspect a zinc deficiency. Or another one is if you have trouble seeing in the dark, which is typically related to a vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A won't work without zinc. So the low zinc might be causing your difficulty seeing at night.
Zinc controls immune system, skin repair, hormones, and digestion. The best foods for zinc are oysters and red meat.
