today I’m going to share some very

important information about zinc and the

reason I’m talking about zinc is that

zinc is involved in so many different

things it’s involved in 300 different

enzymes and over a thousand different

factors related to your DNA its

functions are very wide and helping

certain enzymes not just for digestion

but for a lot of other things and if you

can identify early signs of a zinc

deficiency sometimes they call it a

subclinical deficiency then you can

prevent Advanced problems related to

zinc and that could include a complete

loss of appetite and then you end up

having anorexia necrosis because the

tissue is not healing and so zinc

actually helps with wound healing and if

you’re deficient in zinc you can develop

ulcers externally or internally on your

body even ulcers in your mouth and even

some elderly that have these ulcers

because they’re in this bed and they’re

unhealing ulcers or wounds they need

zinc big time another Advanced problem

with zinc is hypogonadism where your

testicles actually atrophy or Shrink so

you’re obviously going to have low

testosterone that could be an advanced

zinc deficiency and I’m going to put all

this research Down Below in the

description another interesting Advanced

problem would be thymus atrophy the

thymus gland is on top of the heart and

that has a huge influence of making

certain T cells that are involved with

the immune system it’s like a training

camp for your immune system and if you

have atrophy of the thymus gland could

you imagine what’s going to happen to

your immune system you’re not going to

have an immune system then we have the

adrenal hormone called cortisol your

cortisol can greatly go up if you’re

deficient in zinc which could be the

reason why it affects the thymus the

immune system because when you have high

cortisol that can paralyze the immune

system in the white blood cell you also

have muscle loss because of the

involvement with zinc in fact one of the

best sources of zinc is in animal meat

because we need that zinc in our muscles

to create antioxidants to counter all

the oxidative damage that occurs

especially with exercise so if you could

identify early signs of a zinc

deficiency you can head off or prevent

bigger problems and I wanted to show you

one of my favorite books

it’s called the technology of War by Sun

Tzu you probably heard of The Art of War

right but this book is a lot different

if you take a look at some of the um the

books on Art of War there’s like 45

different versions

a lot of them are altered from the

original translation this book is an

exact duplication of the original text

that Sun Tzu wrote in Chinese in this

section he’s talking about Supreme skill

is not 100 Victories in 100 Battles

Supreme skill is subduing the enemy’s

operations and its forces without battle

and if we can relate this to this topic

on your body which I do all the time you

don’t want to wait until you have an

advanced disease before you do something

about it if you understand the early

signs or the symptoms of something you

can easily prevent it because you have

the knowledge so that way understanding

your body’s early signs for something is

extremely valuable and I have a lot of

videos on that so let’s talk about the

most common early sign of a zinc

deficiency well first of all you have to

have the intelligence or understanding

of

where zinc tends to affect certain

organs more than others and it just so

happens that the organ that is most

affected by a zinc deficiency is the

pancreas okay now there’s two parts of

the pancreas you have one that controls

your blood sugars which has to do with

insulin which zinc has a lot to do with

but also the other part is called the

exocrine part of the gland which has to

do with enzymes okay and so this is the

symptom are you ready for this foul

smelling stool that floats yeah that’s

right you might have some cramping you

might have a little diarrhea you might

have abdominal pain you might even have

bloating okay but this is a very easy

thing to identify and yes it could come

from other things too it could come from

what you just ate but it can also come

from a zinc deficiency and just as a

side note I did another video about this

I think four years ago and there is

another common first symptom which is

shortness of breath upon exertion which

is another indicator which is good to

know because sometimes people think well

I’m just out of shape well it could be a

zinc deficiency so we need to look at

the diet are you eating enough zinc or

maybe it’s coming from

what’s called gut malabsorption maybe

you have inflammation your gut uh that’s

a big cause of a zinc deficiency another

cause of a zinc deficiency is consuming

something with something called phytates

okay or phytic acid which is in grains

if you are a cereal eater if you eat a

lot of refined carbs you’re going to get

phytic acid and that is going to

potentially create a zinc deficiency

there’s millions of children that have a

zinc deficiency around the world that

are consuming a lot of cereal they don’t

consume a lot of meats especially red

meat and then they end up with this

diarrhea which is very very dangerous

and out of all the foods that are the

highest in zinc it’s oysters okay and

then you have crab other shellfish Meats

fish and then you might have some zinc

and cashews and peanuts but you want to

just look at the whole situation to see

could this situation be coming from my

diet is it coming from something that

I’m eating that’s creating this

deficiency because also sugar or even

being a diabetic and credit deficiency

too much stress can create a deficiency

in zinc or let’s say for example you

drink alcohol on a regular basis that

could create a zinc deficiency okay

having an infection can create the

deficiency of zinc so I think it’s very

important to use principles like this to

be able to predict and to be able to

predict you have to have the right

information you have to have all of the

information to be able to understand the

consequences or the early signs of

something that can lead into something

bigger because typically what would you

do if you have a symptom like a

digestive issue you might go to the

doctor it gives you a pill

it masks the symptom

your symptom is better the problem is

still there and then it kind of goes

downhill from there and just to give you

a little more Intel or information on

zinc zinc is very much involved with

your sleep cycles if you have sleep

problems let’s say you don’t get enough

of the last part of your sleep zinc

could be something you might want to

take right before bed zinc is also a

heavily involved in a part of your brain

called the hippocampus which is kind of

like the relay part for memory and

learning and cognitive function zinc is

also like I said before involved with

insulin okay if you don’t have enough

zinc it can put you at risk for becoming

a diabetic zinc is also involved in

making neurotransmitters like serotonin

and dopamine which can affect your mood

and zinc also makes up a very important

group of antioxidants involved with your

brain

your heart

and your muscles the three parts of your

body that use a lot of oxygen and if we

look a little bit deeper

zinc helps with this oxidative stress

that’s involved with your mitochondria

the energy Factory of all these tissues

so I want you to start looking at these

symptoms a little bit differently

instead of just jumping and treating

them try to understand what your body is

telling you realize that a lot of these

problems could be related to a

nutritional deficiency that could be

related to your diet and use these

indicators or little red flags as

something that you can have advanced

knowledge or prediction to then prevent

something but unfortunately this idea of

prevention you can’t really talk too

much about it because even like on the

bottles of different nutrients you’ll

see there’s a mandatory label says this

product is not intended to diagnose

treat cure or prevent any disease so

it’s illegal to even prevent a disease

so what I try to do my videos is to give

you the knowledge of what you could end

up with so then that way you don’t have

to end up with a situation you’re

battling it which is a lot more work it

is so much easier to win the war by

doing something like this than going

into battle with a health condition now

if you haven’t seen my recent video on

the the Dark Side of zinc I put it up
