Many important nutrients are needed to keep our body healthy, if there is a deficiency of even one of these, then there can be a lot of damage to our health. One of these is zinc, due to which the body has many benefits, such as controlling blood sugar levels, boosting immunity, healing wounds, etc. Ayushi Yadav, a famous dietician working at GIMS Hospital in Greater Noida, explained what changes happen in our bodies due to zinc deficiency and what food we should eat to fulfill this need.
You will get zinc by eating these things
1. Watermelon Seeds
Usually, we eat watermelon with great gusto but often throw the seeds of this juicy fruit in the dustbin, but if you know its benefits then you will not do so at all. A lot of zinc is found in the seed of this fruit. Due to this immunity is boosted and blood sugar level is also maintained. For this, wash the watermelon seeds and dry them in the sun and include them in your diet.
2. Garlic
Garlic is a spice that is widely used in Indian homes, apart from zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, and potassium are found in it. It should be kept in mind that the effect of garlic is hot, so it should be eaten in limited quantities during the summer season.
3. Egg Yolk
An egg is such a thing that we often consume for breakfast, but especially people going to the gym refrain from eating its yellow part i.e. yolk, but you have to remember that yolk is a rich source of zinc, it contains zinc. Apart from this, vitamin B12, thiamine, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenic acid, calcium, iron, and phosphorus are also found.
