all right we finally made it to part

three we’re talking about zinc

if you have not uh seen part one part

two i put the links down below

but zinc is a very uh fascinating

mineral

and very vital to your health a lot of

people are deficient

but it also affects the prostate out of

all your tissues

the prostate has the most concentration

of zinc

of any tissue that you have and having a

deficiency of zinc

could lead to hypogonadism where you

have smaller testicles

smaller output of testosterone

because you need zinc to make

testosterone your sperm is rich

in zinc as well and also if you have an

enlarged prostate

you may have high levels of something

called dht which is a more

potent version of testosterone and

there’s an enzyme that converts

testosterone to

dht it just so happens that zinc

blocks that enzyme so zinc is really

important in prostate health

testosterone health and sperm viability

all right the next thing we’re talking

about is

insulin so zinc is actually stored with

insulin it’s involved in the production

of insulin

it’s also involved in the secretion and

storage of

insulin so if you’re type 2 diabetic

it might be a good idea to make sure you

have enough

patients that uh have pancreatitis for

example are usually low in zinc

and also a condition called pancreatic

insufficiency

basically it means that the function of

the insulin is suppressed

and there’s two parts to the pancreas

you have the extra

gland which is all the enzymes okay so

if you have a deficiency of the pancreas

and you’re not outputting enzymes

you’re going to have a hard time

breaking down your food as well as the

endocrine portion

which is involved in the insulin and

glucagon

and other hormones that are related to

blood sugars so you’re going to have

lowered zinc

in both the inflammatory condition with

the pancreas

as well as just the lack of output of

enzymes and hormones

so real simple solution take zinc if you

have a pancreatic problem

all right so now we’re at the immune

system

very very uh interesting that your mast

cells

the cells that are involved with

histamines and algae reactions

and asthma symptoms need zinc

as their main mineral so when you take

zinc it can act as a natural antibiotic

a natural anti-inflammatory reduce

inflammation and

mucous and zinc actually can inhibit

certain viruses as well

especially the rhinovirus of the sinuses

the superficial

internal layer that surrounds your

airways are loaded with

zinc okay of course you have all these

mast cells there waiting to

deal with any type of foreign particles

like pollen for example zinc can

decrease the time of having the common

cold

if you can take zinc right at the very

beginning of getting a cold

you can shorten the time considerably

now another interesting side note about

zinc is that

certain funguses candida

grow with these minerals and so they

will tend to steal your zinc

and other minerals like manganese and if

they take your zinc

and leave you deficient then they can

survive better because they weaken your

immune system

so there is this underlying immune

battle between your immune system

and microbes and trying to snatch up and

steal all the zinc right here

so i hope you guys now have an increased

awareness of the importance

of this really simple trace mineral in

your entire health

i always recommend taking trace minerals

in their complete

blend not just taking one trace mineral

because you need other trace minerals as

well

so find a good trace mineral that you

can take on a regular basis to

compensate for all the other

deficiencies

in your environment in your food all
