Zinc is a trace mineral that is needed for many functions in the body. It is responsible for the stimulation of approximately one hundred enzymes, including the ones that coat the eye’s vascular area. Women are advised to eat eight milligrams of zinc per day while men should aim for eleven milligrams. Food sources of zinc include fish, mushrooms, sunflower seeds, legumes, and whole grains. Taking a zinc supplement may also help; however, zinc may interfere with iron absorption, and the two should not be taken together.
