Health & Wellbeing Newsletter July#1 2020

Hello to all of our friends,

In this issue:

• Do you wear a mask?

• Zinc - yes, absolutely critical for you?

• Our YOUTUBE pick for today.

• This weeks specials.

Hi Folks,

First up,

We have moved, still in the Sunny Coast, just a sidestep down the beach to Sunrise Beach.
The move went smoothly - apart from our new internet connection being deleted by the service provider after only 24 hours of use!! It took most of the week to get it re-connected, but thankfully that drama is behind us and we are happy with our new space.

Is a mask going to make a difference?
If there is one thing to learn about the covid-one-nine drama, it is the idea that our politicians and people in positions of influence don't always get it right, and perhaps in some ways prefer to avoid the science that is up to date and available if it means changing their chosen path.

The idea of wearing a mask has already been a topic of discussion, and when faced with a variety of thoughts about something like this I prefer to listen to professionals in the field to determine what is "right for me".

Here is the summary - Masks and respirators do not work.

There have been numerous randomised controlled trial (RCT) studies, and meta-analysis reviews of these RCT studies, which all show that masks and respirators do not work to prevent respiratory influenza-like illnesses, or respiratory illnesses believed to be transmitted by droplets and aerosol particles.

We were driving on the motorway a couple of weeks back and passed a car with a single occupant driving - and wearing a mask! What are they thinking? One thing that we know is that a mask will impair your ability to breath efficiently - and we also know that many people don't breath properly a lot of the time anyway - so why go there?

There is substantial evidence showing that masks are harmful and a lack of evidence showing they are effective in preventing the spread of coronavirus.

Studies show that wearing a face covering reduces blood and tissue oxygenation, good old fashioned hypoxia is never a good thing — it can be deadly — while at the same time increasing carbon dioxide levels. Mask-wearing can also increase the risk of infection and the spread of viral illness, hinder detoxification that occurs via exhalation, create acidity due to a low level of hypoxia, impair the immune system and cause many other ailments, both physical and emotional. Add to this, some masks have been found to contain known carcinogens, which put people at risk from inhaling toxic chemicals and having them come into contact with their skin, it's all a potential disaster.

There is another argument about freedom of choice etc, but I won't venture down that path, the simple true facts are the push from some areas to force people to wear masks seems once again more about control and propagating fear - part of the ongoing agenda, rather than a positive move to improving your immune system.

Think well, eat well, get out in the sun, stay hydrated and active and I feel sure this will be a much better approach than wearing a mask!

A reminder of the importance of Zinc.
It's been quite a while since we talked about zinc, so let us have a little recap as to why this well known nutrient is important.

If we look at research from the World Health Organisation (WHO), they estimate that one-third of the world’s population is deficient in zinc. Zinc can easily become depleted in the body which is why it is highly important to support your cells with well tolerated and absorbable forms of zinc if choosing to supplement.

Zinc is required for over 200 functions in the body including healthy immunity, digestion, skin, and reproductive system support. Zinc is a trace element and an essential micronutrient for humans. Essential means that it is required in small amounts by the body for optimal health. Since the body is unable to synthesize micronutrients like zinc, a dietary source or supplement is necessary.

Blood tests are not particularly helpful for assessing zinc levels, as zinc affects our sense of smell and taste, a zinc taste test is sometimes used to give an indication of zinc levels.

Signs of Zinc Deficiency

• loss of appetite
• impaired immune function
• hair loss
• delayed sexual maturation
• weight loss
• delayed healing of wounds
• taste abnormalities
• mental lethargy
• impaired growth and development of infants, children and adolescents
• increased prevalence and incidence of childhood infections, such as diarrhea and pneumonia, which may result in increased rates of mortality
• impaired maternal health and pregnancy outcomes

Great food sources of zinc include, whole grains, legumes, oysters, pumpkin seeds and cashews, chicken and red meat. What I have seen is that when your zinc level drops too low, it becomes very difficult to absorb zinc from your diet, its a real catch 22, raising the zinc intake through adequate supplementation becomes important to bring you back over that "zinc buffer" to start absorbing efficiently from your food.  Deficiency of both zinc and/or B vitamins may also lead to low stomach acid, which in turn can influence how well you absorb zinc from your food.

With "flu season" upon us, it's helpful to understand that when it comes to Colds. Evidence suggests that if zinc is taken within 24 hours after cold symptoms start, the supplement can help shorten the length of colds.
