Have you been feeling like less of a man or women lately? This could be caused by a zinc deficiency in your body.

Zinc is an essential mineral that is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to maintain fertility in adults. Aside from some rare diseases, there’s one main reason zinc deficiency could be harming your fertility. Basically you might just not be getting enough zinc in your diet.

So how do you tell if zinc deficiency is causing your bedroom problems?

Simple, just eat more foods high in zinc. Foods that are naturally high in zinc are wheat, oats, pumpkin seeds, eggs, milk, oysters, nuts, meat, and peas. You can even treat yourself to some all natural dark chocolate. Over of a course of one to two months you will be able to tell if your new high zinc diet is helping your sex drive. To increase your zinc intake even more try a zinc supplement. Zinc supplements are generally included in complete supplements. These zinc supplements are taken orally. If diagnosed with zinc deficiency, one needs to consult a physician for the correct dosage and type of zinc supplements to be taken.

So not only can an increase in zinc in your diet aid in fertility, it can also boost immune function, and your elevate mood. Zinc deficiency greatly affects immune function because low zinc levels directly cause a decline in T cell function, which is responsible for eliminating infected cells. Mood elevation can be attributed to healthy zinc levels because of the correlation between dopamine levels and zinc. Zinc partially regulates the amount of dopamine, the pleasure neurotransmitter, released in the brain.  If dopamine is not regulated properly, the outcome could be depression and other mood related disorders.

As you can see Zinc can revive your sex life and make you feel like the man or women you were twenty years ago, while also providing other numerous benefits.
