You may have noticed that in a recent post about fighting off colds and sickness I discussed Zinc. If you are low in Zinc and Vitamin D there is a high likelihood that if there is something going around and you come into contact with it – you will get sick. Zinc is one of the bodies number 1 defenses against virus’s, pathogens, germs etc. Zinc has the ability to help prevent the multiplication of virus’s such as rhinovirus. Zinc is also directly related to the strength of your immune system. As Winter gets closer as the Seasons change, the weather is getting colder and wetter. Because of the cold in tandem with the lack of sun that comes with the change into Winter people naturally have a higher likelihood of catching something. Knowing this – it is wise to keep your vitamin D levels up with a supplement and it is also wise to take Zinc throughout the colder months. If you take a visit to your local drug store you will find that there are a handful of different zinc products such as zicam and zinc lozenges. I would suggest instead of using them – simply take a quality zinc supplement once to twice a week for prevention.
