If you've battled the sniffles (or worse) this cold and flu season, you may wonder if zinc-rich foods can lend a helping hand. Product labels definitely suggest as much. After all, a quick stroll through the pharmacy will show shelves upon shelves of over-the-counter meds and immune supplements all listing zinc as an ingredient.

The article from MSN highlights the importance of zinc for immune health and lists eight zinc-rich foods that can help support the immune system. These foods include oysters, which are the richest source of zinc; beef, particularly chuck roast; fortified breakfast cereals; pumpkin seeds; lentils; quinoa; dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa; and cashews.

The article emphasizes that while these foods can contribute to meeting daily zinc requirements, a balanced diet is crucial for overall health.
