Most Americans are deficient in three elements: zinc, copper, and chromium.

Many people drink alcohol. After drinking an ounce or two of alcohol, about half of the functional zinc in your body is eliminated from your body.

Zinc is needed in the male sex organ, and 58% of the zinc in males is used to maintain the prostate gland.

In the liver, zinc helps synthesize and store vitamins such as Vitamin A. Vitamin A  also enables the pancreas to produce insulin.

The hippocampus directs neurons to other parts of the brain and uses 17 percent of your zinc, while the pineal gland uses another 17 - 19 percent.

Copper is an anti-arthritic (treats arthritis) and is considered crystallized sunlight.

Copper activates the iron in the hemoglobin of red blood cells so it regulates oxygen. It also conducts heart and energy through the body. It activates the liver to release glycogen (Glycogen is essential for helping to regulate your blood sugar levels and providing energy for exercise).

Can’t find or remember what you are looking for? Short-term memory is affected because the brain can not operate properly without glucose and oxygen: people deficient in copper need the heart to beat harder to get more blood, glycogen, and oxygen to the brain and the rest of the body.

Among other symptoms, a person may experience with copper deficiency is heart palpitations. Heart palpitations are a common symptom of atrial fibrillation (AFib), indicating a relationship between copper and AFib.

Almonds and cashews hold substantial amounts of copper.
