Zinc
Can you slow aging with a hearty
and delicious bowl of chili?
You'll get plenty of zinc,
thanks to the rich red kidney
beans in my chili recipe. A new
study showed that zinc may help
both prevent and
reverse age-inducing damage to
DNA. Zinc intake is so important
to staying young that when
middle-aged men in a study went
from adequate zinc intake to
zinc deficiency, they showed
more breaks in certain DNA
strands. When they were placed
back on a zinc-rich diet, damage
to DNA strands decreased
significantly, suggesting that
injured strands were repaired.
You want healthy DNA, because
damaged DNA can speed the aging
process and increase your risk
for conditions like cancer and
Alzheimer's disease. Zinc isn't
necessarily a fountain of youth,
but the study results suggest
that nearly 12 percent of
Americans with a zinc deficiency
may be doing their bodies a
disservice. So how about that
bowl of chili?
Zinc is an essential mineral of
"exceptional
biologic and
public health
importance". The
Recommended
Dietary
Allowance (RDA)
is 8 mg/day for
women and
11 mg/day for
men. Median
intake in the
U.S. around 2000
was 9 mg/day for
women and
14 mg/day in
men. Red meats,
especially beef,
lamb and liver
have some of the
highest
concentrations
of zinc in food.
The
concentration of
zinc in plants
varies based on
levels of the
element in soil.
When there is
adequate zinc in
the soil, the
food plants that
contain the most
zinc are wheat
(germ and bran)
and various
seeds (sesame,
poppy, alfalfa,
celery,
mustard). Zinc
is also found in
beans, nuts,
almonds, whole
grains, pumpkin
seeds, sunflower
seeds and
blackcurrant.
Did you know swallowing a
post-1982 American one cent
penny (97.5% zinc) can cause
damage to the stomach lining due
to the high solubility of the
zinc ion in the acidic stomach
On June 16, 2009,
the FDA said that consumers should stop using zinc-based
intranasal cold products and ordered their removal from
store shelves. The FDA said the loss of smell can be
life-threatening because people with impaired smell
cannot detect leaking gas or smoke and cannot tell if
food has spoiled before they eat it.
For a cold day
zinc boost try my famous chili recipe.
