Did you know that most people who suffer from congestive heart failure also have a zinc deficiency too? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Our daily nutritional intake is so important. Minerals like zinc help our bodies stay strong and healthy. Without them we are more susceptible to everything from heart disease to the common cold. While foods like pumpkin seeds and beans have high levels of zinc, those that come from animal sources like grass-fed beef, pasteurized chicken, and swiss cheese are easier for our bodies to digest and pull the mineral our for effective use within our own bodies. Even shellfish is a good source of zinc, so mix it up, but be sure you have a number of high zinc containing foods each week.
