Zinc-Rich Foods and Simple Dinners
Zinc is an essential mineral, and dinner is a great place to get it. Here are the best food sources and five easy meals.
Why zinc matters
Zinc helps your immune system, cell growth and many other body processes. It also supports healthy testosterone levels within the normal range.* The body cannot store much, so it needs a steady supply.
The top food sources
- Oysters, the richest source by far.
- Beef, lamb and pork.
- Crab and lobster.
- Pumpkin seeds, cashews and chickpeas.
- Fortified cereals and dairy.
Five simple dinners
- Beef and broccoli stir-fry over rice.
- Chickpea and spinach curry.
- Baked salmon with roasted potatoes.
- Turkey chili with beans.
- Grilled steak salad with pumpkin seeds.
Pair with protein and color
Add vegetables for fiber and protein for amino acids such as L-Arginine. A balanced plate also supports your workouts, like the ones in our home bodyweight plan.
