Zinging Through Life With Zinc
Reminders that Make A Difference

HASHTAG: #AMCoffee

We all love seeing how quickly our scratches and wounds heal, any minor and severe infections go away. The credit for the part of that process belongs to a trace mineral in our body called ZINC. I remember how I relied on the zinc ointment to treat my baby’s diaper rash! And with the cold and flu season, I always get zinc lozenges that play preventative role against bugs before they unleash their full-blown attach on our body, starting with a throat!

Zinc is a powerful antioxidant and aids in cell division, promoting anti-aging properties for the entire body! Without zinc, it would be impossible to live a healthy ample life. In countries where zinc deficiency is prevalent do call for supplementation.

The groups of population in this country that are considered in a higher risk group to get zinc deficiency are athletes who exert their bodies and need replenish their systems with vitamins and minerals; vegans and vegetarians who exclude the foods of animal source in their diet; people who over-consume iron supplements; those with gastrointestinal problems; those who take diuretics; and alcoholics. All these population groups have one thing in common – their bodies experience a flush-out of vitamins and minerals of their bodies due to their life’s situation or activities.

You may already know and use the knowledge of zinc in your own life. The purpose of each AM Coffee is to remind you about the “old” knowledge and dig out something less known to empower you even stronger in your daily life.

Here are some of the important ZINC roles in our body.
