Zinc reduces healing time in a variety of ways. Your body needs certain enzymes in order to repair injuries, and zinc makes those enzymes. Also, not only does zinc make protein and boost your immune system, but it also helps decrease wound size.*
Zinc deficiencies are quite common, so check your levels and start taking it before any surgery. Pumpkin, seafood, spinach and beef pack the highest doses of naturally occurring zinc.
