so the highest zinc food in the world is oysters that’s number one oysters are

loaded with zinc and the type of zinc that’s bile available

then we get red meat okay then we get fish and the list goes down from there

there is a small amount of zinc in pumpkin seeds for example

and there are a few other things but here’s the problem with zinc

there is no storage system in our body for

zinc so if we’re not getting it from the diet we are going to be

deficient 25 of the planet is deficient in zinc

and it’s very difficult to determine if you’re deficient

other than symptoms because when you do a blood test it’s not detectable

even though you’re very deficient it’s only detectable

after a long-term deficiency or a severe depletion but let’s talk about the

consequence of not having enough zinc in the body

first of all you’re going to have decreased amount of lymphocytes

it’s your white blood cells so you’re going to have a hard time fighting off

infection and pathogens if it’s very severe you

may get in a large spleen get a decreased response to

pathogens so not only do you have decreased numbers

of white blood cells but your response to pathogens is

sluggish so you can’t fight infection as well as you did when you had enough

zinc the thymus the training camp for the white blood

cells gets smaller next one is increased

susceptibility to an infection so you’re more susceptible

to getting sick so whereas one person would not necessarily get the infection

you might get it next one is loss of taste and smell next

one is decrease wound healing and

decrease testosterone and because zinc is an anti-inflammatory you lose your

ability to get rid of inflammation so you have more

inflammation there are a couple other reasons why people

are deficient in zinc a big one is phytates

phytates are in fiber they’re in whole grains

so when you consume flour products breads

pasta cereal crackers rice alone with phytates it’s in the bran

it’s a fiber and phytates block zinc okay so that’s

number one number two stress will deplete your

zinc high levels of cortisol over a period of time

will deplete your zinc sugar as in not just sugar but high fructose

corn syrup and honey and all the other types of

sweeteners also coming right down here diabetes which

is a condition where you have high sugar will also deplete

zinc so these two are very similar the longer you have an infection the less

zinc you’re going to have in your body and you need zinc

for these things right here and acids will deplete you of zinc you need

an acidic stomach to absorb zinc so as you get

older you lose the stomach acid you can no longer pull zinc in

like you did before malabsorption if you have

gut damage you’re going to have a hard time absorbing zinc

if you have liver damage even a fatty liver

even in a liver that’s inflamed even a liver

that has scar tissue you’re not going to be able to absorb

zinc and so many people have a fatty liver and they don’t even know it

if you’re a vegan it’s going to be a lot more difficult to get

zinc because you’re consuming things that are pulling it out

and you’re not consuming animal products so you’re not going to get the

bio-available zinc that you need so anyway i just want to increase the

awareness of zinc and the importance of getting enough zinc

in your diet hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no grains no

sugar totally keto there’s no suffering in
