Zinc helps prevent pneumonia in the elderly
by Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews) A new report published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that zinc plays a very important role in health maintenance. In a study of over 600 seniors from 33 different nursing homes in the Boston area, researchers found that seniors with healthy blood levels of zinc are 50 percent less likely to develop pneumonia than those with sub-par levels.
The study was a follow-up to a previous one which found that people given 200 international units (IU) of vitamin E every day for one year are 20 percent less likely to develop upper respiratory infections, including common colds. But after a follow-up, the trial also revealed that a majority of those same participants had low levels of zinc in their blood.
Subjects in the first trial were supplemented with only half the recommended daily intake of zinc and other essential vitamins, but those who had normal blood levels of the mineral overall experienced less infections and needed fewer antibiotics. Those with zinc deficiencies were far more prone to developing prolonged illness.
Zinc is a necessary mineral for maintaining health in many other areas as well. The eyes and prostate, for example, need zinc in order to function properly.
"[Zinc] is...important for the proper functioning of the immune system -- which you definitely want in top working order! Zinc also aids in the regulation of blood pressure and the mineralization of bone," explains Elaine Magee in her book Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well.- Re: Zinc helps prevent pneumonia in ... grzbear

This is a reply to # 1,675,122both macro and trace minerals are well known to have specific actions on many so called *contagious* diseases.
Ever wonder why one person will get sick while others will not? It has to do with their *constitution*, biological terrain, mineral stores... we could go on with variations of explanation.
For instance manganese and selenium both can arrest or slow (depends upon case and other nutritional factors) HIV replication.
nutritional deficiencies or imbalances are at the root of being susceptible to diseases...
Unfortunately though, things like EMFs are being shown to cause great nutritional and biological stress to living systems... so minimizing exposure as best as is possible is perhaps in order too.
EMFs change cellular expressions... a mineral rich diet can help buffer the problems associated with EMF exposure.
