ZINC

Zinc helps fight infection and aids the process of wound healing. Good sources include wholegrain cereals, egg yolk, dairy products and red meat.

Zinc works with vitamin C, so plan your meals to include fresh vegetables and fruits along with zinc-rich foods.

Zinc and copper work together to strengthen the immune system and slow deterioration of your skin. Life bearing foods (nuts, grains and pulses/legumes) are good sources of both mineral micronutrients.
