Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

You realize that zinc levels in your body can predict COVID-19 severity,

very, very interesting study that was published by the Journal of Nutrients.

And they showed that people with low zinc, less than 50 micrograms per deciliter,

had an increase in mortality rate by 21%, compared to 5% with healthy zinc levels.

That is very, very significant, but there's more. The group that showed lower zinc levels

had a three times slower recovery rate. 25 days compared to eight days. That's incredible.

Also, there was increases in the severity of the symptoms. There was increases in inflammation

and a decrease in mortality, like I just mentioned right here. So the question is, how could

zinc do that? Well, zinc has a direct anti-viral effect. It also acts as a co-factor for many things,

but most importantly, your immune system. It helps to increase T-cell growth. It helps to activate

B-cells. So the B-cell in the T-cell is part of the acquired immune system that you develop over time.

And so zinc strengthens the acquired immune system, actually as well as the innate immune system

as well. Zinc will decrease your susceptibility to getting an impact of viral infection in the

first place. And so this is really a no-brainer. I think everyone should be taking zinc on a regular

basis. Just make sure you take it in the blend of trace minerals because you have to balance it with

copper if you take it over a long period of time. But for a tiny cost of the zinc supplement,

you can create a massive benefit for your immune system. If you want more information on zinc,

I have a lot of videos. I put some links down below. Hey, before you go real quick,

I have a course entitled How to Bulletproof your immune system. It's a free course. I want you

to take it. And here's why. Here's you. Here is your environment. Everyone is focused on this
