Monthly Nutrition Tip: Zinc
June 2014
Zinc is an important mineral used to strengthen the immune system and shorten the duration of colds. Additionally, it is helps release the body’s anabolic hormones to build muscle and aids in post-exertion tissue repair.
Try increasing your intake of seafood, dark meats (beef, lamb), cashews, spinach, pumpkin seeds, mushrooms, beans & cocoa (yes, chocolate!)
Note: Great supplement for this time of year
