let’s answer the question what  is the first sign of a zinc  

deficiency now clinically when you’re deficient in  zinc all sorts of things happen a lack of growth  

anorexia tissue necrosis you can actually  get tissue dying from a lack of zinc  

all sorts of skin issues all sorts of digestive  issues infection viruses bacteria hair loss ulcers  

and the list goes on and on you don’t have a major  deficiency but you’re just starting to become  

deficient in zinc well to answer that we need  to kind of look at some other data number one  

when you’re low in zinc you will have a lowered  amount of very specific antioxidants glutathione  

alpha tocopherol and catalase which has to do  with the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide  

so in other words very powerful  antioxidants in our bodies are dependent on  

zinc and without zinc you will not be able  to produce these in sufficient amounts  

now there’s some additional information  i want to share with you cardiac tissue  

or heart tissue is the highest producer of  something called ross so just think about ross as  

something that creates a lot of oxidation and the  heart cells as a tissue if we compare it to other  

tissues in the body has one the lowest antioxidant  capacity now what does that mean so in other words  

it becomes very susceptible to becoming damaged  this is probably why the number one cause of death  

is heart disease the heart is not able to repair  effectively and the first symptom is you’re going  

to get shortness of breath upon exertion so let’s  say you start to exercise or you run up the stairs  

and you’re out of breath easily that would  be the first symptom of a zinc deficiency  

so i remember as a kid living on sugar outside  playing and noticing i was having a difficult time  

running up a hill i was like out of breath very  easily i had no clue on what that was but it was  

probably a zinc deficiency due to all the sugar  that was consuming and so if you have that symptom
