Article Summary:

• Zinc is a mineral required by the body to support immune function and assist in various cellular activities. Unfortunately, an estimated 25% of the world’s population (about 2 billion people) has a zinc deficiency.

• Experts believe the primary reason for zinc deficiency is an inadequate diet. A diet high in sugar and carbohydrates prevents the body from properly absorbing zinc. Phytic acids found in legumes and grains can block zinc absorption when consumed in high amounts.

• Zinc deficiency is also common in people that lack the ability to absorb the mineral, such as those with leaky gut syndrome. Regularly taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can also adversely affect zinc levels.

• Some of the most common symptoms which may be a sign of zinc deficiency include: Lowered Immunity, Poor Memory, Breast and Prostate Cancer, Infertility, Loss of Libido, Frequent Colds or Flus, Abnormal Hair Loss, Slow Thinking Process, Spots on Fingernails, Low Energy, Insomnia, Loss of Taste or Smell, Sinus Problems and Allergies, Skin Rashes / Eczema, and Loss of Appetite.

• Zinc deficiency can promote a variety of human cancers including esophageal as well as cancers related to the digestive tract, head, and neck. Zinc supplementation has been shown to reduce the number of tumors and carcinogenic severity.

• Natural sources of zinc include: oysters, eggs, whole grains, nuts, seeds, shellfish, and meat. Shellfish may accumulate toxins, so better choices are pastured (grass fed) beef and organ meat as well as locally produced eggs from 100% pasture raised animals. Plant based sources of zinc are found largely in sprouted pumpkin, hemp, sunflower, and chia seeds.

• Adults are generally recommended to take 8-11 milligrams of zinc daily. However, functional health experts and most progressive nutritionists will advise that 30-40 mg/daily is preferred. Exceeding 100 mg/day can create adverse health reactions and actually increase cancer risk.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A BABY BIRD?

Dear Readers: 

Being a mother to 3 rescue dogs, I am also a bird person.  I have a bird feeding station and a bird "spa" (that's a bird bath for you none birding people) that I can watch from my kitchen window.  Talk about live entertainment, I have it two fold.  

Anyway, I digress.  Do you know what to do if you find a baby bird?  Below is a handy chart to keep on hand.

"Here at TipHero, we’re pretty much obsessed with enlightening you on all of the ways you can stretch your dollar.

Of course, there are plenty of things that you can do to save a buck, from downloading digital coupons to firing your contractor to cooking up super frugal food, but we tend to gravitate towards the hacks.

You know what we mean: the tutorials that teach us that pretty much any item can be used off-label— and sometimes you can save buckets of cash in the process!

When it comes to hacks, it’s no secret that apple cider vinegar and baking soda are the most versatile, but just because they get the most press doesn’t mean that other contenders shouldn’t be left out of the spotlight.

Take Clorox bleach, for instance. It may be a bit of noxious product — definitely not something you want your kiddos playing around with! — but that doesn’t mean that it’s not just as well-rounded as the other guys.

In today’s video, DIY maven Bob Vila, shows us some of the best ways we can all benefit from using this kitchen-cleaning standby. Here are a few of the most notable highlights from the clip:

1.   Get your glassware sparkling clean

What’s the point in breaking out your finest glassware for that fancy dinner party that you’re planning if it’s just going to look like a spotted, gunky mess? To fix the problem, simply add 1 teaspoon of Clorox bleach to your all-glass dishwashing load. No rubbing or scrubbing required!

2.   Become a certified weed-killer

Having trouble getting rid of those pesky weeds that grow from the cracks of your cement? Next time you find yourself on your hands-and-knees, pulling them out weed by weed, reach for your bottle of Clorox. Just a splash on the base of each weed should do!

3.   Sterilize your gardening instruments

You’re already in your garden, so why not sterilize those hoes and shovels? Believe it or not, this is actually something that all gardeners should do from time-to-time, to guarantee that no plant-based diseases spread to other parts of the garden. Smart!

4.   Say “goodbye” to slippery moss

Does the photo at the top of this post look familiar to you? If so, it’s time to get rid of that slippery, unsightly moss once and for all. To do so, simply add a cup of Clorox bleach to a gallon of water and spray the mixture all over the moss. Soon, your garden will be moss-free!

Who knew that Clorox bleach was so versatile?! To learn even more about the above brilliant bleach hacks — and to unlock the other 3 handy bleach-based tutorials — be sure to watch the video below. It’s time to finally let the bleach do the hard work!"
