Zinc deficiency is a nutritional deficiency disease and patients are advised to consume zinc-rich animal foods such as meat, eggs and milk, and plant foods such as beans and nuts in their daily lives. For infants and young children, the zinc content and absorption rate of breast milk is ideal, so breastfeeding is recommended, while for artificial feeding, zinc-rich formula is preferred. It is important to note that dietary modification is only one part of the treatment of the disease and cannot replace it completely. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the appropriate treatment plan for your particular case and give you sound dietary advice.
