The country may be turning a corner with COVID-19, but that doesn’t mean you should start letting your guard down.
Because even though COVID-19 is still grabbing headlines, you can’t forget that we’re right in the middle of cold and flu season!
And with COVID-19 restrictions easing across the country, it means that those ‘everyday germs’ are looming… and this means it’s highly likely that we’ll see more colds and respiratory illnesses this winter.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared to fight back!
Thanks to some new research around a ‘miracle’ mineral, you can arm your immune system this cold and flu season and significantly reduce your risk of developing a nasty cold… or the flu!
According to a new study published in the journal BMJ Open, taking a Zinc supplement can help stave off the nasty symptoms of respiratory tract infections, such as coughing, congestion, and sore throat, and cut illness duration.
In fact, the study found that daily zinc supplementation helped on average clear up the symptoms of respiratory illnesses in just TWO DAYS.
That’s welcome news this time of year!
But this latest news about the health benefits of zinc shouldn’t come as a surprise.
We’ve known for ages that zinc plays a crucial role in supporting the proper function of your immune system.

Zinc is needed for immune cell development and communication. Plus, itplays a critical role in the inflammatory response.
A deficiency in this nutrient significantly affects your immune system’s ability to function properly, resulting in an increased risk of infection and disease.
Nearly two BILLION people worldwide are considered zinc deficient and it’s very common in older adults. In fact, up to 30% of older adults are considered zinc-deficient!
So how do you make sure you’re getting enough zinc in your diet?
Red meat and poultry are both packed with zinc. Other zinc-rich food sources include beans, nuts, certain types of seafood (such as crab and lobster), whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products.
Zinc supplements are available at most health food stores, pharmacies, and online vitamin retailers… usually for less than $10 per bottle.
If you decide to take a zinc supplement, be sure to follow the recommended dosage stated on the bottle.
And as always, if you’re worried that you’re not getting enough zinc, be sure to talk to your doctor.
