Ever wondered why some people seem to breeze through cold and flu season while others fall victim to every bug that’s circulating? Enter zinc, the unsung hero of immunity. Your body doesn’t produce zinc naturally, so it relies on you to ensure you’re getting enough of this essential mineral to keep your immune system in top shape.
Various factors can increase your risk of zinc deficiency, including poor dietary intake, gastrointestinal disorders that impair absorption, chronic illnesses like diabetes or renal disease, and certain medications that interfere with zinc absorption or utilization.
The good news is that zinc is found in a variety of foods, so it’s easy to incorporate into your diet. Some excellent sources of zinc include:
The recommended daily allowance (RDA) for zinc varies depending on age, gender, and life stage. For most adults, the RDA ranges from 8 to 11 milligrams per day. However, certain groups of people may need more, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals with increased zinc requirements due to illness or intense physical activity.
Zinc supplements may help reduce the duration and severity of the common cold when taken within 24 hours of symptom onset. So, stock up on zinc-rich foods and supplements (consult your health professional before use) to keep your immune system firing on all cylinders this winter!
