Description

On today's show I will continue the discussion on minerals with zinc. Like magnesium, zinc is also critical for cell functioning, and neurons are certainly no exception. I'll talk about what zinc does, how you can be deficient, what foods contain it, what research there is to support the use of zinc in mental health, and I'll discuss how to supplement. This is another mineral to pay attention to and is the second of two that I am discussing, so I'm sure you will enjoy.
