Zinc is an essential trace mineral.

Here are a few of the benefits of zinc:

Supports healthy immune function: Zinc helps with the growth and activation of immune cells. It also strengthens our immune defense by regulating immune pathways.

Wound healing: Zinc plays a crucial role in our body's healing mechanism. 🤕

Reproductive health: Zinc helps with male and female reproductive health. Zinc helps with germ cell development, fertilization, and pregnancy. A zinc deficiency can affect fertility.

Zinc isn't naturally produced in the body. So try to incorporate zinc-rich foods into your diet and consider supplementation if needed.

What is mindful eating?🍽️

Mindful eating can help you pay more attention to your experiences, cravings, and physical cues when you eat. Research shows that it can help with binge eating and improve digestion.

Here are some ways to practice mindful eating:
⁠
➡️ Eat more slowly
➡️ Chew your food thoroughly⁠
➡️ Minimize distractions⁠
➡️ Use all of your senses
➡️ Notice emotional triggers
➡️ Stop when you are comfortably - but not overly - full

Try it anytime and anywhere - a small pause can transform eating into a connection with food. 🤍

Eating protein and fiber together is a great way to feel full longer! Snacks like these keep me full for at least 3-4 hours.

If you find yourself feeling hungry between meals, craving sugar or salty food, try eating a snack that is high in both protein and fiber.

What to look for in a snack that will keep you full:
- At least 3 grams of fiber (you need between 25-38 g/day)
- 5 or more grams of protein - an egg has about 6g protein
- Low or no added sugars
