Men Can Increase Their Level Of Bone Density

Osteoporosis, which is loss of bone mass, is not just something that happens to women. A study was conducted at Rancho Bernardo California with 396 men aged 45-92 over a four year period. The researchers discovered that men with osteoporosis of the hip and spine had lower levels of zinc in their diet and showed lower concentrations of zinc in their blood than men who did not have the disease. So…if you're a guy, as you age, make sure you include 15 to 30 mg of zinc in your daily diet or by supplementation.

THE POWER OF ZINC

Many Diabetics have low blood levels of zinc, and those with damage
to the retina have even lower levels.  A study in the European Journal of

Clinical Nutrition found that zinc may guard against oxidation damage to the retina.

 Subjects took 30 mgs of zinc per day for three months, and their
blood zinc levels went up, and the markers showing oxidation went down.

In the general population, people don't get enough zinc.  You
should take around 15 mgs per day.
