Everyone knows that the flu vaccination is your best defense against getting the seasonal virus, but there’s another even more easily accessible weapon available: zinc. What is Zinc and What Does it Do? This mineral helps boost the immune system, heal wounds and support the body’s overall growth. It makes perfect sense then that it’s particularly beneficial now, just when the flu and cold season starts to hit hard. Experts recommend 8 milligrams of zinc a day for women and 11 milligrams for men. Although zinc supplements exist, the best way to reap the benefits of this mineral is by infusing it into your daily diet. The mineral is beneficial for a variety of reasons since it contains antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Zinc is Everywhere, Just Start Looking Zinc boosts antiviral properties. What does that mean? Well, that flu that’s attempting to attack your system is a virus, but if you ingest enough zinc your body may have the power to fight it off. Thankfully it’s pretty easy to add more zinc into your diet since the mineral naturally occurs in many of the foods we regularly eat. Also, bringing the foods you don’t eat on a normal basis to the table may make your meals a bit more exciting anyway. Feel free to order another round of oysters on the half shell. Shellfish is great source of zinc providing 3-and-a-half times the daily recommended amount of the mineral for women. Scallops are another zinc-filled sea-sourced option offering 1.3 milligrams in a three-ounce serving. Other zinc-heavy items include: whole grains, legumes, red meat, dairy and eggs. Also, don’t forget about this one: dark chocolate. Seriously, you can add this sweet to your “healthy” list since it contains a bunch of anti-inflammatory, memory and cancer-preventing properties. One bar of the dreamy dessert (with at least 70 percent dark chocolate) has about 3.3 milligrams of zinc. IV Vitamin Infusion for Your Immune System You can also infuse vitamins into your system without ingesting any food or supplements. IV vitamin therapy can help boost immunity and ward off viruses with minerals such as zinc. Nenergy Boost offers a Targeted Boost Immunity IV to strengthen your immune system at the first signs of getting sick. We also have an IV drip called Malware which includes a dose of zinc to combat viruses this time of year. You can schedule a vitamin IV session in Los Angeles by booking an appointment online with Nenergy Boost.

Barely able to keep your eyes open during the day? Nodding off during important meetings? Constantly hitting your snooze button, for just “one more minute of sleep”? If any of these behaviors sound familiar it might be that you’re simply not getting enough sleep, or you may have a vitamin deficiency. What is B12 and What Does It Do? This essential nutrient helps maintain the body’s nervous system and red blood cells. It also makes DNA. This vitamin metabolizes every cell of the human body, including fatty and amino acids. Since B12 prevents anemia, a condition that can cause weakness and fatigue, someone who suffers from a deficiency often suffer from symptoms of anemia. Below are five signs you may be suffering from a Vitamin B12 Deficiency: 1. So Tired Every Day If the alarm clock has become your sworn enemy and your bed your best friend, it might be time for more B12. Constant fatigue is one of the main symptoms of a B12 deficiency, because when this vitamin is low, the body has fewer red blood cells. The primary job of those red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. A lack of red blood cells translates to fatigue. That’s why no matter how much you sleep get, if there aren’t enough of these cells coursing through your body, then you’ll still spend the day exhausted. 2. Feeling Weak All Week When that 5-pound weight feels like a ton of bricks, there could be other issues going on with your body. Oxygen is a necessity for muscles and recovery after exertion. In addition, B12 helps metabolize protein and fat, which are both essential for building muscle. Therefore, without enough B12, your muscles become weak and you end up feeling anemic and drained. 3. Always Under the Weather This nutrient is also responsible for the production of white blood cells, the cells that support the immune system. Therefore, when B12 is depleted you may get sick more often since you don’t have the antibodies to fight off infections. 4. White as a Ghost There’s a huge difference between pale, or a fair complexion, and the ghost-like look that can accompany a vitamin deficiency. When B12 is low, some individuals look literally drained. 5. Stomach Issues Digestive enzymes are also generated with the help of B12. That’s precisely why digestive issues, ranging from constipation and lack of appetite to inflammatory bowel disease and candida, are some of the symptoms many individuals note when this deficiency is found to be the culprit. Treatments for B12 Deficiencies The human body doesn’t make B12 on its own. Everyone needs a little help from outside sources in order to generate this nutrient-rich substance. Some of the major sources of B12 come from liver, kidney and clams, not exactly items on everyone’s daily menu. Other types of meat, fish, dairy and eggs contain moderate amounts of B12. Yet, some research has shown that the best way to treat a B12 deficiency is not by consuming items rich in it but by infusing the vitamin. If you’re feeling tired or weak, an injection of vitamin B12 can give you a boost of energy and stimulate your metabolism. Interested in learning more about the Nenergy Boost IV Therapy menu?
