Zinc is an essential trace element that the body requires on
a daily basis. In order for the body to function properly, zinc is required.
Zinc is indispensable for the body’s everyday functions like hormone
production, immunity, digestion, and growth and repair. It can even act as an
inflammatory, which can be beneficial for chronic diseases like heart disease.
In spite of zinc being an essential component to our body, zinc deficiency is
common. The Indian RDA for zinc is 17mg.
Deficiency in zinc can occur due to not getting enough zinc
through our food and not being able to absorb zinc properly because of poor gut
health. Lack of zinc leads to anorexia, loss of appetite, smell and taste
failure, and other symptoms in humans and may affect the immune system,
triggering arteriosclerosis and anemia. Symptoms of zinc deficiency can
manifest themselves in negative reactions like fatigue, frequently falling ill,
stunted growth, poor concentration, and inability to heal wounds.
The highest levels of zinc are found in foods high in
protein. Vegan and vegetarian diets are at a higher risk of zinc deficiency
since both diets are naturally lower in zinc than diets that include protein
from animal sources. However, plant-based diets can still meet zinc
requirements through a variety of zinc sources. Plant-based rich sources of
zinc requirements through a variety of zinc sources. Plant-based rich sources
of zinc are gains, beans and legumes, raw cacao, nuts and seeds, nutritional yeast,
and oats. Keep this in mind when consuming grains, beans, and legumes, as these
also contain phytates that block zinc absorption. Thus, it is necessary to soak
these before cooking and consuming them.
If you are an individual that has a leaky gut, suffers from
stomach acid issues, or does not include enough food rich in zinc,
supplementing with a zinc supplement can be beneficial.
