Zinc aids growth, DNA synthesis, and immune function. Zinc is an essential nutrient, meaning that your body can’t produce or store it. Zinc may effectively reduce inflammation, boost immune health, reduce risk of age-related diseases, speed wound healing, and improve acne symptoms. Beans, seeds, and nuts are rich in zinc.
