Zinc-packed foods
Zinc-packed foods Zinc is not only vital for keeping your immune system strong, but it also helps wounds heal, according to Largeman-Roth. You can find it in red meat, including lamb, beef and bison, as well as in chicken, seafood, pork, fortified cereal, chickpeas, cheese, almonds and cashews. She recommends sneaking at least two zinc-packed foods daily to meet your needs, which are 11 mg per day for men and 8 mg per day for women. "Three ounces of beef has 7 mg of zinc, 3 ounces of lobster boasts 3.4 mg and chickpeas have 1.3 mg," she adds.
