Strong link between zinc deficiency and blood pressure

Zinc deficiency is strongly associated with high blood pressure.

This is the conclusion of a study, according to which zinc alienates salt processing by the kidneys and increases blood pressure.

Zinc deficiency is very common in people with chronic diseases.

These include: type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

Blood pressure is also strongly influenced by the way the kidneys absorb and remove excess salt from the body.

The less sodium there is in human urine, the higher the blood pressure will be, experts say.

What is zinc?

Zinc is a useful metal for human health.

If the body has excessive or insufficient amounts of zinc, the balance of many systems, including blood pressure, fluctuates.

According to experts, excess zinc affects systolic blood pressure.

They explain that if a person takes excess zinc he may face a high oxidative stress in the blood vessels.

Zinc is a mineral that interacts with other minerals, especially copper, to influence blood pressure.

A study referred to by AgroWeb.org explains that when the interaction of these minerals is not in sync, blood pressure suffers.

Disruption of the balance of zinc and copper in the body increases the risk of high blood pressure, or as it is otherwise known, hypertension.

As a result, experts recommend caution regarding zinc amounts.

The recommended daily allowance of zinc for men is 11 mg per day.

For women, the recommended daily amount is 8 mg.

However, the amount of zinc needed depends on many factors.

This includes: age, illness or pregnancy.

Only a specialist doctor can advise the necessary amount of zinc that can be obtained through supplements./ AgroWeb
