Today, I want to talk to you about a big problem going on in India and Pakistan. It’s a micronutrient deficiency, and that micronutrient is zinc. Why is this happening?  This is especially a problem in:   • Pregnant and lactating woman  • Children  

What is Zinc? Zinc is involved in many biochemical reactions in the body. It’s a cofactor for 1000 enzymes. You really don’t want to miss out on the health benefits of zinc.   

Zinc deficiency symptoms:   • Diarrhea  • Underweight  • Stunted growth  • Cognitive defects   • Susceptibility to malaria, pneumonia, and viruses  • Skin problems  • Stomach ulcers  • Low testosterone  • Alopecia  • Low thyroid


What causes zinc deficiency?   • Phytic acid (in rice, grains, beans, nuts, corn)  • Vegan diet (the best source of zinc is animal products)  • Diarrhea  • Sugar or refined carbohydrates
