What exactly is zinc?

Zinc is a mineral that is important to the body in many ways. Zinc helps to heal wounds, supports normal growth, and helps to keep the immune system strong. Zinc is found in various parts of the body, mostly in the skeletal muscles and bones as well as the kidneys, pancreas, retina, hair, skin, liver, blood cells, prostate and testes. In fact, it is found in almost every part of the body. Low zinc levels in your system could make you prone to frequent bouts of cold and flu, slow wound healing and recurrent infections.     

How will my sexuality improve if my zinc levels are good?

  • Research by trusted sources, have shown that zinc is able to maintain good levels of testosterone, and is beneficial in dealing with inflammation in the body.
  • By reducing inflammation, the penile blood vessels stay healthy, promoting erectile function.
  • Studies have also indicated the low levels of zinc can affect, or worsen erectile dysfunction.
  • Fertility will be enhanced, and immune function will enable healthy DNA production.
  • You will have extra energy, and be more open to committing to a regular exercise program.

An extra bonus is that good levels of zinc has the potential to help you cope with stress and anxiety.

The best way to get zinc into your system

Most people get enough zinc in their system through the food that they eat. If you have a zinc deficiency research has shown that animal foods are better sources of zinc than plant foods. These foods include red meat, such as lean cooked beef and lamb, lean cuts of pork and skinless chicken. Plant foods such as beans, nuts, wheat germ, mushrooms and spinach, as well as dark chocolate can also boost zinc levels.

If you have been diagnosed with a zinc deficiency, a supplement made of natural products will be beneficial to take with the food you eat. Visit a health shop for advice.  Changing your diet to include zinc-rich and other nutritional “power foods” will enhance your health and feelings of well-being.

Lifestyle changes

Begin with paying attention to your zinc levels and make a point of eating some of the zinc-rich foods on a daily basis to restore your energy levels, boost your metabolism, improve your general health, and help to keep sexuality healthy. A lifestyle change will not be complete without regular exercise. In addition to burning up calories, exercise stimulates the cardiovascular system.

Note that erectile dysfunction is not caused by zinc alone. There are several other factors which contribute to ED, such as certain meds, high blood pressure, anxiety, and prostate issues – to name but a few. It is best to get a doctor’s opinion.
