Although many of us do not know where we can get our zinc, it is very important for our body. According to nutritionist Luminița Catană, zinc is essential for the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter also known as the hormone of happiness.
Every form of life needs a dose of zinc, but it is important to know that it must be taken from food and sometimes from supplements. No body can produce zinc.
“Zinc is a catalyst for more than 100 different enzymes and is also involved in the synthesis of DNA (the substance that is found in the composition of every cell of living organisms and is essential for the identity of each organism). It is important for the development of the body and a good functioning of the immune system. It is also necessary in stimulating the production of collagen, so necessary for hair, skin, nails, for liver function, carbohydrate metabolism. It supports thyroid function, relevant in pregnancy, ensures good eye health, plays an important role in testosterone production and regulation of spermatogenesis,” informs the specialist.
Serotonin is responsible for well-being, sleep quality, appetite regulation, anxiety regulation and has an effective role in digestion. And zinc is important in wound healing and cell regeneration.
There are a number of plants that contain zinc: spinach, oats, generally whole grains, flaxseeds, hemp, pumpkin, cashews, almonds, lentils, beans and chickpeas. Zinc is also found in red meat, seafood, eggs, chocolate and various dairy products.
