Zinc’s Importance

Posted on January 18, 2022 by - Health Blog

What is Zinc?

Do you consider zinc in your diet? Zinc is an important element which contributes to many functions within the body. It plays a role in immunity, wound healing, and energy metabolism. The environment of your gastrointestinal tract can also influence how much zinc is actually absorbed and utilized in the body.

Zinc’s Importance

Consuming enough zinc on a vegan diet is usually no issue at all if you consume a variety of plant foods and grains. If you aren’t doing that, failing to meet the daily recommended intake can lead to some adverse health effects down the track. A deficiency in zinc could potentially lead to a weakened immune system, slowed wound healing, loss of appetite and even stunted growth. These are all obviously not ideal and can be quite serious!

Overnight Oat Parfaits

“I Don’t Have Time to Make Breakfast…“

It’s a very common phrase we hear people say over and over again. Let’s be honest though, we all have time. We all get the same 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week. “Having time” just depends on your priorities.
 
I have an 18 month old toddler who is always on the go so I can tell you from experience that it seems like there is never enough time. She keeps me quite busy (and active for that matter). With that being said, I find it important to prepare healthy and tasty meals for my entire family. I constantly search for easy, quick recipes. Let me share with you one of the biggest time savers I’ve discovered…
