Colds and influenza, two well-known upper respiratory illnesses, will be on the rise in the near future. We had unusually low flu rates last year. Many analysts believe we will not be as fortunate this year.
Think zinc.
According to a new evaluation of the current research, over-the-counter zinc tablets may be one method to make cold and flu season a little easier. Of course, this isn't the first study to look into zinc as a COVID-19 antiviral treatment. However, the outcomes of the previous studies have been mixed at best: some studies show a slight benefit, while others show no benefit, and the research quality has been low. Zinc can also cause unpleasant side effects, such as stomach trouble, nausea, and, in some cases, a loss of sense of smell.
What did the research reveal?
According to the study, zinc can be used to prevent or treat colds and flu-like diseases. It was published in BMJ Open in November 2021. The researchers looked at over 1,300 prior studies before narrowing it down to 28 well-designed trials with over 5,000 study participants. What they discovered was as follows:
Cold and flu-like disease prevention:
Zinc pills or nasal spray zinc are linked to fewer upper respiratory infections when compared to placebo. The estimated effect was modest: for every 20 people who used zinc, about one illness was averted. The evidence supporting these conclusions is considered weak.
According to a few studies, the greatest preventive effects were seen in the reduction of severe symptoms including fever and flu-like illness. It's worth mentioning that the research didn't confirm whether or not the subjects were infected with the flu virus.
Zinc did not prevent colds in small investigations of people who were deliberately exposed to the virus.

Colds and flu-like illnesses can be treated using the following remedies:
When compared to placebo, those who took zinc saw a two-day delay in the onset of symptoms. According to the study, if 100 persons with upper respiratory infections were given zinc, an additional 19 would have recovered entirely by day seven. The evidence supporting these conclusions is considered weak.
Some indicators of symptom severity were lower in the zinc group (compared to the placebo group): those receiving zinc reported milder symptoms on day three of the infection. Furthermore, those who took zinc had an 87 percent lower incidence of severe symptoms. However, the daily average symptom severity was comparable between the zinc and placebo groups. These findings were poor to moderate data quality and certainty.
Before stocking up on zinc, what else should you keep in mind?
While these data show that zinc may have the potential to prevent or reduce cold and flulike illness, there are a few more points to consider:
Consequences.
Side effects, such as nausea and mouth or nose discomfort, were more frequent in those receiving zinc (vs placebo). Fortunately, none of the incidents were serious. However, for some people, these may be enough to make them discontinue taking zinc.
Cost.
Zinc supplements are commonly available at a low cost. A month's worth of zinc lozenges might cost as little as $2 (though I've seen some kinds for as much as $75 on the internet).
Deficiency in zinc.
It was determined that none of the subjects in the study had low zinc levels or that they were unlikely to be zinc deficient. Between taking zinc to prevent or treat respiratory infections versus taking zinc because your body doesn't have enough zinc, there is a significant difference. People with poor nutrition or digestive problems that interfere with mineral absorption are more prone to have zinc deficiency, which necessitates supplementation to avoid major repercussions such as decreased immune function and poor wound healing.
Different doses or varieties are available. To establish the optimum manner to absorb zinc, more research is needed.
Staying healthy can often be difficult. While it seems easy when you’re relatively young, it could become more challenging as you get older. That doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. Instead, it means that you’ll need to put a little more effort into doing so.
Not many people know how to maintain a healthy diet long-term, however. Thankfully, there are multiple tips and tricks that you can use. All have been tried and tested, so you shouldn’t have a problem taking advantage of them.
You’ll need to go beyond the obvious of getting fresh fruits and vegetables. Instead, you’ll want to take advantage of a few other things.
How To Maintain A Healthy Diet
Switch Milk
Milk is one of the healthiest drinks that you can get. That doesn’t mean that all milk is as healthy as each other. If you drink the full-fat option, then it could be worth switching to an alternative. Fat-free and low-fat could be the most recommended options.
That’ll cut down on your overall fat intake, alongside providing a range of other benefits. You might think that the taste would be quite different, although this isn’t usually the case. Instead, they’ll be just as nice, if not nicer.
Get Help With Your Phone Or Computer
When most people think about how to maintain a healthy diet, they believe they need to do so themselves. Either that or they need to hire a professional. Instead, you could use your computer or smartphone for help. These can be useful in more than a few years.
You can use them to keep track of your diet, for instance. Having meal preparation and other recommendations at your fingertips can be recommended. You can also use these to schedule out your meals and set reminders, among other things.
To properly take advantage of this, you’ll need to know the tricks of keeping your devices working properly. That shouldn’t be too much of an issue, though.
Choose Lean Protein
Everybody knows that a healthy diet contains a decent amount of protein. That doesn’t mean that all proteins are made the same, however. You should focus on lean protein more than others, as this can offer a significant number of benefits.
If you're trying to lose or maintain weight, it's customary to focus entirely on the foods you consume. However, it is critical to evaluate what you consume. You can minimize your calorie intake, enhance your metabolism, and suppress your appetite by choosing the right drinks. Set aside your soda or energy drink and continue reading to learn about the best liquids for weight loss:
1. Water
Water is one of the finest drinks for weight loss, since it may do wonders for your health! While you may already consume a glass or two of water daily, it is most likely mixed with soda, fruit juices, and other liquids. However, if you substitute water for all of your carbonated beverages, you will save hundreds of calories every day! After all, soda contains a large number of empty calories that you must burn off. If you like drinking soft drinks you can reduce your calorie intake by switching to diet soft drinks. Unfortunately, it has not been established that this switch results in weight loss, thus it is still preferable to switch to water.
2. Vegetable Juice
If you enjoy juice, you'll be pleased to learn that vegetable juice is also one of the finest liquids for weight loss! Vegetable juice is nutritionally equivalent to fruit juice but contains around half the calories and significantly more sodium. If you must have fruit juice, avoid those with added sweets and opt for 100% fruit juice. You can determine the percentage of fresh juice by checking the nutrition label. Drinking water with a small bit of juice added is an excellent strategy to cut calories while drinking fruit juice.
