Zinc ~ The Master Miracle
- Ever heard the term "think zinc"?
- Zinc is such a vital mineral that perhaps we really should spend more time thinking about it.
- For instance, did you know that 90 of the enzymes in our bodies are zinc dependent?
- This is more than all the other mineral-dependent enzymes combined.
- Zinc is essential in most metabolic functions in the body, including: cell health and maintenance; carbohydrate metabolism; and protein metabolism.
- It is for this reason that zinc is termed the "master mineral".
- A potent anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial, it is excellent for heavy metal detox, as it pulls cadmium from the system.
- It is also used in the production of RNA and DNA, and has been touted as the sister to Vitamin E.
- It is interesting to note that zinc and Vitamin A work together.
- According to Dr. Michael Bunk of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC, a zinc deficiency in the body impairs the use of Vitamin A by the epithelial cells, and puts the body at risk for developing cancer and other diseases.
- The epithelial cells act as a cover to the skin or as a lining to, perhaps, the bladder.
-
These cells are also found in the mammary glands.
-
Many zinc studies have been conducted throughout the years.
-
Scientists from all over the world have found it to be vital in proper cell function, sexual maturity and growth, cardiovascular function, immune function, and general wound repair.
-
When zinc levels are optimal, cell division occurs normally; if deficient, problems arise.
-
It is especially important for pregnant women to supplement with zinc, as zinc deficiencies can lead to Down's Syndrome, clubbed limbs, spina bifida, etc.
-
It improves white blood cell function, promotes healthy teeth and gums, stimulates one's sense of taste and smell, improves visual acuity, aids the thymus gland, helps produce keratin for health hair, nails, and skin, etc.
-
Zinc protects the prostate from infection and promotes proper sexual function.
-
Do not overlook zinc's importance, start on the road to wellness.
