You may have heard that zinc benefits include the ability to help people recover from the common cold or other illnesses, but this mineral is also needed by those who aren’t sick and who don’t have compromised immune function.
ㅤ
Zinc is an essential mineral that should be consumed in small amounts every day in order to maintain overall health and perform hundreds of important functions. Behind only iron, it’s the second-most-abundant trace mineral in the human body.
ㅤ
So ask yourself: Are you getting enough zinc in your diet?
ㅤ
Below are some of the most important benefits of zinc and reasons to make sure you get enough of it:

Zinc is an essential trace element that’s needed in small amounts every day for supporting immune function, regulating hormone production, promoting growth and repair, reducing inflammation, and fighting free radical damage.
ㅤ
Taking a zinc supplement is another option for people who don’t get enough in their diets or who have issues absorbing this mineral.
ㅤ
However, not all supplements are created equal. You will need to do your research for quality, safety and absorption. Also, always consult with your physician before taking a supplement including zinc.

Immune-Boosters: What Are They All About? With over 200 harmful virus species continuing to mutate, it is critical to keep your immune system functioning in tip-top shape. While antibiotics work wonders at battling bacterial infections, they have no impact on viruses such as the flu and the common cold. A quality immune-boosting formula will combine anti-viral vitamins, minerals, and herbs proven to support your body’s ability to defend against disease-causing viruses. The correct combination can help fortify the immune system by triggering white blood cells. These cells encompass B-cells, which produce antibodies and help alert the T-cells, which destroy compromised cells.

How To Pick A Good Immune-Boosting Supplement & Avoid The Junk. This short guide will help you know what to look for and what to avoid so you can make an informed decision when it comes to your immune-boosting needs. We will also list out the top 5 immune-supporting supplements sold today.

1/12/21 From USA Today N95 masks are the best bet!

N95 have been predominately used in healthcare settings even before the COVID-19 pandemic as a tool to achieve highly efficient filtration against airborne particles. However, as the virus evolves and becomes more contagious, many experts are advocating for the widespread use of N95 masks among the general public.

The argument for wearing an N95 is that it's the gold standard of face coverings. With the proper fit, masks approved by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) can filter up to 95% of particles in the air. When dealing with a respiratory virus like this coronavirus, N95 masks can make a large difference in protection from infection.

Several studies have and continue to explore the efficacy of different kinds of masks, especially as the pandemic continues to evolve. Take this experiment researchers at Duke University conducted last year, testing different kinds of masks against each other to see which mask was the most effective in blocking respiratory droplets. Taking factors like correct fit and environmental variables into account, the N95 masks were the most effective in blocking droplets—99% to be exact. The next best mask? Surgical masks, followed by a double-layered, polypropylene-cotton mask (a.k.a., a cloth mask). You can wear cloth just double up on your favorite ones.

What is a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA)?

These Gloves are made in the USA, from recycled fibers and natural zinc from a family owned business hoping to provide smart layer of protection against winter colds and flus.

Here is why local helps.

A Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is the scientific process of understanding which impacts occur as a result of the materials that move through our economy (1). It is a complex and deeply detailed method that is used to quantify the environmental impact of making a product exist and the outputs that occur as a result (1,2,3). In LCA, researchers create an inventory of resources used and pollutants generated in the processing of the raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, recycling, and final disposal of a product (2,3).

LCA has been utilized in many industries to estimate the effects of products and processes on over 90 different impact categories such as climate change, air and water quality, human health, ecosystem function, natural resource depletion, eutrophication of waterways, ozone-depleting potential, and more (1,3). LCA helps to avoid landfill, incineration, and treatment by a fully utilizing raw materials and considering the waste as a by-product that could have further use (3).

Life cycle analysis can be traced back to the 1960s, when worldwide concerns on the depletion of limited raw materials and energy resources arose. These concerns drove interest in finding ways to understand and forecast the supply and utilization of resources and energy. Standardization of LCA methods has sought to maintain flexibility while ensuring that there can be consistency and clarity in reporting (3).
