Hi! 💪 Support your immunity, digestion, sense of taste and growth with Zinc!

Zinc is essential for immune system function, wound healing, the sense of taste and DNA synthesis. It also supports growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Zinc also plays a part in the break down of proteins in digestion. It is best to avoid drinking black and green tea and coffee when eating meals, as tannins in these drinks can inhibit the absorption of zinc (and iron). Zinc is needed for the transportation of Vitamin A, which is particularly important for vision, especially night vision.

Sources: Meat, shellfish, legumes (such as chickpeas, lentils, and beans), nuts and seeds (such as pumpkin seeds and cashews), whole grains (such as quinoa and oats), tofu and tempeh.

Recipe: Make a simple prawn salad with a good squeeze of lemon, or Aioli on the side. For Vegans, cook up a Lentil Stew! Check out this hearty recipe by Elavegan. Comfort in a bowl!

Have a great day and feel strong inside and out! Be kinder than necessary :) Fleur x
